Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust has written to executive chairman Peter Charrington after a fan survey showed deep concern over the Premier League club's ownership and leadership following two difficult seasons.
THST Survey Puts Pressure On Tottenham Leadership
ESPN, citing PA, reported that the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust contacted Charrington after surveying 1,696 supporters. The results were sharp: 81.72% had low confidence in the current club leadership's ability to build a team capable of competing for league titles and cup competitions.
The figure was even higher on ownership. THST said 83.44% had low confidence in the Lewis family, majority owners of ENIC, being able to produce a team to compete in the Premier League and challenge for cups.
The numbers arrive after Tottenham only avoided Premier League relegation on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign. Back-to-back 17th-place finishes have turned the question from ordinary dissatisfaction into a direct challenge over who is trusted to lead the rebuild.
Peter Charrington And Lewis Family Face Trust Issue
Charrington became chairman after Daniel Levy's departure in September. He wrote to supporters last month saying Tottenham would get back to where the club belongs, while the Lewis family later said it was all in on funding the rebuild.
THST acknowledged those statements but said the club had not fully recognised decisions from the current season that contributed to the decline. The group said supporters now wanted meaningful action rather than further promises.
That distinction matters because the letter is not only about money. It asks whether Tottenham's current structure can make football decisions that match the scale of the club, particularly after two seasons spent much closer to the bottom of the table than the top.
Tottenham Rebuild Begins Under Supporter Scrutiny
Spurs have already signed free agents Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson in what ESPN described as an expected busy summer in N17. Those moves give the rebuild an early football shape, but the survey makes clear that recruitment alone will not settle the wider trust problem.
For Tottenham, the immediate task is practical: improve the squad and avoid another season of damage control. The longer task is institutional. Supporters are asking for evidence that the people setting the direction have learned from the past two campaigns.
The THST letter gives Charrington an early test in the post-Levy period. Tottenham can point to summer business and ownership pledges, but the survey numbers show how little patience remains if the club's next steps look like familiar ones.
