Tottenham striker Harry Kane has confirmed crisis talks between the chairman and the players earlier this week.
Daniel Levy admitted he met with the players before sacking caretaker manager Cristian Stellini in the aftermath of Sunday's 6-1 Newcastle thrashing.
"The chairman asked for a meeting," Kane said after last night's 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
"Obviously I won't go into what was said but I think it was important (for him) to understand where the players' heads were at in that moment.
"Obviously coming off the back of that (Newcastle) result and it wasn't just that result, it had been building up since the international break when we conceded the two goals against Southampton.
"It was an honest conversation of where everyone is at and what we need to try to do to give us the best possible chance to finish the season with something.
"We're still fighting for fourth place but if it's not fourth we'll try to finish fifth or sixth, as high up as we can.
"In this league, it's so competitive, you can easily end up eighth or ninth if you're not careful. That's what it was - to give us the best chance and I'm glad we reacted like that."
