He stated management are working on transforming the club, though warned it will take time.

On the January market, Venkatesham said: "We believe in our current squad, but must add more quality, experience, and leadership to compete consistently at the highest level. Doing so requires a more proactive approach to recruitment, alongside a wage structure that supports our ambition.

"We are fully focused on strengthening the squad in January where the right opportunities exist, while recognising that the most significant player trading activity typically comes in summer windows.  Our priority is to make signings that genuinely move us forward, and we will be disciplined against that aim."

On the fans, he also wrote: "Perhaps most importantly, we know there is distance between the Club and our supporters, and we are committed to rebuilding that connection.

"With your input, we have introduced initiatives such as the new Sonny mural, ticketing changes, and a trial singing section, and we will continue to work closely with the Fan Advisory Board.

"Tottenham Hotspur cannot exist without you, our supporters. We are built on the loyalty, passion, and commitment of those who follow us, and we do not underestimate what supporting our Club means. 

"Your dedication matters deeply.
