March 14 – Tottenham Hotspur fans who have been clamouring for the departure of chairman Daniel Levy and owners ENIC are likely to be further displeased by the appointment of Peter Charrington as a director.
Charrington, director of ENIC and former CEO of Citi Private Bank, will be joining the board at Spurs as Non-Executive Director.
“Tottenham Hotspur is an iconic Club and I am incredibly honoured to be taking up a place on its board. I am looking forward to working closely with Daniel and the board to help the Club achieve long-term success,” Charrington told the club’s website.
Over the course of this season, Spurs fans have been protesting, rightly or wrongly, that the owners have allegedly prioritised financial success over on-pitch improvement.
Those who want to see a reduction in ENIC’s decision-making influence will likely now be further irritated that it increasing.
Reports over recent months have claimed that a number of potential investors have held talks over a full takeover of Spurs, but nothing concrete has materialised. Spurs reached the last eight of the Europa League on Thursday but are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
