Spurs players have refunded their fans for their abject performance against Newcastle. What do you make of it? £30 pp for 2,000 odd fans is nothing to them after all or does it set a dangerous precedent? Anyone playing City more than twice a season may be in for an expensive bill.
Should fans be entitled to refunds if their team get battered?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
They should be entitled to a battering
Pretty sure Arsenal fans were reimbursed after the 8-2 loss.
It’s a nice gesture even it helps little. Spurs gave each fan £30 back. Those fans probably spent hundreds travelling from London to Newcastle.

Entitled? No. But it's a nice gesture and good for PR, so it's a smart decision when a club does it.
Make the players pay it.
The problem is, where do you draw the line? If the ref has a shocker and sends off 2 of your players causing a battering, should the club reimburse the fans? What if the other team just get lucky?

If it's a particularly egregious defeat then it's a welcome gesture, but absolutely not something fans are entitled to.
Sometimes your team will get smashed, that's the nature of sport and part of what you sign on for as a fan.

The manager should be made to pay it
Only if they publicly admit to not be fans or supporters but spectators.
Er, I think that might be tricky in Spurs' case.
Absolutely not. When you purchase a ticket, you do so with the knowledge that your club might indeed get clobbered on the day. All you're entitled to is watching the match safely in the seat you paid for.
That being said it's an admirable gesture from the Spurs players.

In our case, the Glazers should be made to pay. They'd probably just add it to the debt though.
Yes, as long as all the players involved get docketed 1 mont's worth of wages and all of them get sent out to the fans as moral compensation for having to endure the shitshow their own team served.
If we did this most of players would probably take a 50% paycut this season: 4-0, 6-3, 7-0
