Tottenham’s players are offering to refund fans who travelled to watch the team get thrashed 6-1 by Newcastle in the Premier League.
The squad made the gesture overnight, two days after the team conceded five goals in the opening 21 minutes at St. James’ Park. The result ended up costing Cristian Stellini his job as interim manager, with the Italian’s departure announced on Tuesday.
The players said they wanted to reimburse the cost of the travelling fans’ match tickets.
“We know this does not change what happened on Sunday,” a Tottenham statement read, “and we will give everything to put things right, starting against Manchester United on Thursday evening when, again, your support will mean everything to us.
“Together — and only together — can we move things forward.”
