A Tottenham fans group, Change of Tottenham (CFT), is planning a protest against the club's ownership.
It's been a difficult season for Tottenham. With league form continuing to struggle and domestic cup elimination, Spurs' only lifeline for 2024/25 is the Europa League.
As a result, some Spurs supporters have been calling for chairman Daniel Levy to resign during matches, as the club's performance has sharply declined.
While a game against Manchester United is often considered a “six-pointer”, it does not normally involve a threat of relegation.
Time For Change.
Time To Stand Up.
Time to join us in the protest.

Tottenham fans protest Stadium march
Tottenham fans' protest has been set up before the game, with fans meeting at 2:45 p.m. The march starts at 3:00 p.m. from the crossroads of Lordship Lane/High Road to outside the West Stand. Fans are asked to unite for a peaceful march against the board to express dissatisfaction with the club's direction in football.
Tottenham fans are encouraged to show respect during the march, recognizing that families with children and individuals with disabilities may be present. Aggressive behaviour of any kind, including abusive chanting, is unacceptable. We invite all supporters to bring their own flags and banners to help foster a festive atmosphere.
In a statement, Change of Tottenham said: “As passionate supporters of Tottenham Hotspur, we believe it’s time for real change in how our football club is run. While our loyalty remains unwavering, we refuse to see it exploited.”We want a club that prioritises footballing ambition over commercial interests, respects its traditions, and listens to its fans.”
The key here is that this group, at least, wants to ensure that the target is firmly on the back of the board and Levy, not manager Ange Postecoglou.
They continued: “We call for greater accountability in decision-making, investment in the squad that reflects our stature, and the fulfilment of promises made—including the long-overdue Bill Nicholson statue to honour the man who defined our values. Tottenham Hotspur is more than just a business—it’s a club built on history, passion, and its supporters. It’s time for change.”
International fans are encouraged to participate in this protest by printing flyers at home. Whether watching the game with friends, with a fan group or supporting from home. These fans have been asked to share pictures on social media holding their ENIC out flyers.
FGG says: Spurs fans make a stand
At FGG, we try to cover fan movements and empower what those fans are doing. While outside fans of a club don't always “get it” when a group protests, it's normally with good reason.
For Spurs, it's clear that, while the club is one of the “big 6”, they always feel like the sixth wheel. Trophies are a massive part of what makes a club “big”, and as a Newcastle fan, I feel that pain all too well.
The fact that Spurs will play Man United this weekend, in what is fairly called a relegation clash, seems fitting given the nature of the protest. Spurs have to now focus entirely on their Europa League matches for 2025 if they want to rescue any kind of season.
