Fans must not abuse Emmanuel Adebayor, warns Spurs management

The management of Tottenham Hotspur have warned their fans that any repeat of the offensive chants aimed at Emmanuel Adebayor at the Bernabéu during the match against Real Madrid will not be tolerated in tomorrow’s Champions League quarter-final return leg at White Hart Lane.

The Real Madrid forward claimed he was the subject of a racist chant during last Tuesday. Tottenham accept the song is offensive but insist it is not racist.

A statement on the Tottenham’s website read: “We do not tolerate discrimination of any sort at the club, on the pitch or in the stands. If you experience any form of discrimination, help us to eliminate it from football by reporting it.”

Adebayor scored twice in the first leg, which Jose Mourinho’s men won 4-0. The striker, who spent 3½ years at Arsenal, said after the game that the fight against racism was ongoing but admitted: “We can’t do anything to stop it.”
