Tottenham defender Christian Romero has criticised the club's board for a lack of investment following the disappointing 4-3 loss at home to Chelsea.
Spurs let a 2-0 lead slip on Sunday and Ange Postecoglou's side have now won just one of their past seven games in all competitions.
Speaking to Spanish broadcaster Telemundo Deportes following the defeat, Argentina international Romero said a lack of spending is seeing the club fall behind their rivals.
"Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn't do well, strengthens again, and now they're seeing results.
