Tottenham have admitted that 'sometimes disruption is needed to create change' after the board finally met with the supporters' trust.
The two parties had been at loggerheads since the club's decision to be part of the ill-fated European Super League, with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust (THST) calling for the resignation of the executive board.
THST also initially refused to meet the club's board, and appointed the Football Supporters' Association as a mediator, with Spurs publicly criticising them.

However, the strains have eased and the board, including chairman Daniel Levy, met with the supporters group on Tuesday, without the need for an independent mediator.
