Tottenham Hotspur made headlines for the wrong reasons again on Tuesday.
It really hasn’t been a good last few months for Tottenham Hotspur.
In fact, it’s been a rotten 2020 in general for Spurs, who lost star striker Harry Kane to long-term injury in January and were subsequently dumped out of the FA Cup and Champions League in quick succession.
Off the pitch, Tottenham haven’t fared much better.
Last month, the North Londoners, who moved into a £1 billion stadium 12 months ago, applied for government assistance and furloughed 550 non-playing staff as a cost-cutting measure in response to the global heatlh emergency – a decision that chairman Daniel Levy later reversed.
Not long after that, head coach Jose Mourinho held a public training session for a number of players in Hadley Common, a park in North London, and the club moved to remind the Portuguese of the social distancing guidelines enforced by the government.
And the Lilywhites have made headlines for the wrong reasons yet again, as two of their players, Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko, flouted the same social distancing rules for a training session – and worse yet, filmed themselves doing it for the purpose of social media.
Here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to Aurier and Sissoko’s gaffe, which resulted in the pair making a donation to the NHS.
