Recent meeting with FAB...

FAN ADVISORY BOARD MEETS​

The FAB welcomed Club CEO Vinai Venkatesham to his first meeting, where he provided supporter representatives with an overview of his role, his motivations for joining the Club and explained recent changes within the football department, including the appointment of Thomas Frank as Men’s Head Coach. Vinai confirmed he will attend all future FAB meetings.

The FAB shared ideas to further strengthen the connection between the Club and supporters and to promote the role of the FAB to the wider fan base – including more ways to contact supporter representatives and for fans to contribute their feedback to FAB discussions.

The following initiatives were confirmed at the meeting:

• The Bill Nicholson Gates will be reinstated within the stadium environs this summer with further details to be communicated to supporters in due course.
• The Club and FAB are working together to create a revamped Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame, following a meeting between the Club and supporter representatives.
• The Club committed to continue working with supporters’ groups on atmosphere initiatives and to build upon the success of our collaborations last season – including the matchday displays at home, at European away games and in Bilbao.
• FAB subgroups have been established for the 2025/26 season to focus on ticketing, a singing section within the stadium/atmosphere, the women’s team and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, with a focus group being formed to hear from our One Hotspur Members.
• The Club also confirmed exciting plans to create a junior supporters’ focus group for Season Ticket Holders and Members aged 11-16, aiming to deepen the Club’s relationship with young fans, generate new ideas to enhance the junior experience and ensure their voices are heard at the highest level of the Club. More information will be communicated to junior Season Ticket Holders and Members in the coming weeks.

 
He should really be investigated if the cunt is found guilty he’s going to have some awkward questions to answer.
I mean it is very much to the club's moral disgrace the way they handled the situation, and it's the dark side of the "pretty up the club's public image" remit that Vinai had there and here, but ultimately it's a kind of behavior that is only encouraged by the way the criminal law and media rules in England treat these situations.
 
He needs to be fired immediately for the Partey scandal.


Yes, he was the CEO at the time this broke. But within a year, he resigned from his position. He announced in 2023 that he is leaving. We are now in 2025 The coverup been there for another 2 yrs since he stepped down. So its not like he was the only one covering it up there. This decision to do that, should be coming from right from the top, their owners....to outlast 2 CEOs

Instead of jumping the gun and doing blame game, wait for the facts to come out. For all we know, he saw the writing on the wall and he took the decision to quit the club before shit hits the fan. We will never know.

Every publication knew Partey was the culprit. Police knew - but no one leaked it or spoke about it because of the legality of English system. Woolwich should have sold him off - they didnt. Thats where they lost their morality
 
Are we looking at this the wrong way?
No

You could argue he managed the shitstorm situation really well for his then employer.
A rape allegation? It's a little more that a 'shitstorm', fucking hell.

He is not complicit in a cover up. The police were already on it.
An employee that was being investigated for rape, was still alloowed to play for the club - when he should have been suspended or moved.
 
Not followed it closely, why has Partey only just been charged now rather than 3 years ago? Most criticism should be reserved for the CPS.
 
I recall some of our fans making a big fuss when we were in the process of signing Bissouma as he’d been accused of sexual assault and were adamant we shouldn’t be signing him, only for the subsequent court case to find he was innocent.
 
The best comparison is with when Man City suspended Mendy for a couple of years, and he was subsequently found innocent (despite what seemed like somewhat overwhelming evidence and testimony against him). Shows how hard it is to convict a rapist when it is not a ‘stranger’ attack. Woolwich should have suspended Partey without pay, but held onto his playing registration, as Man City did with Mendy.
