Tottenham Fans Outraged Over Roberto de Zerbi's Greenwood Support

On April 1, Tottenham just locked in Roberto Deserbi as their new head coach on a five-year deal,

replacing Igor Tudor. But right off the bat, major fan groups are pushing back hard because of

his comments backing Mason Greenwood. Deserbi brought Greenwood to Marseille last year after charges

of attempted rape and assault got dropped back in February 2023. The Italian coach called Greenwood

a good lad who paid a strong price and found the right spot to bounce back,

which many see as downplaying the whole. Mess. Fans are fired up. With the Tottenham hot spur

supporters' trust, holding an emergency meeting Monday night and emailing the club they can back

this. Higher. Groups like Women of the Lane, Proud Lily Whites and Spurs are E.E.H.

are speaking out too, saying it hits the club's values on equality in respect. One co-founder of

Women of the Lane even said she'll skip matches over it, calling Deserbi support unforgivable.

Club insiders say they weighed his words during the process, but parallels to when fans

killed it got too so higher in 2021 are clear. Now Deserbi's got to win over spur supporters

while the team scrambling to stand a Premier League, and these voices aren't quieting down.

Anytime soon.
