A close look at Tottenham’s financial statement reveals something very interesting regarding Daniel Levy, who left his role as chairman last summer.
Levy remained as Tottenham chairman for 24 years, and in that time, he built the club into a financial powerhouse off the pitch, although that did not reflect in the silverware won on the pitch.
The former Spurs chairman owns 29.88 per cent share in ENIC, the company which, in turn, holds 86.91 per cent of Tottenham.
Some pundits have suggested that Levy’s exit is the cause for Spurs’ struggles this season, but Tottenham fans will not like what has now been revealed about the 64-year-old.
Tottenham paid a big sum to Daniel Levy last year and will do so again
Swiss Ramble have now taken a look at Tottenham’s financial statement for the year ending June 2025, and has pointed out that Levy’s remuneration went up last season.
The pay off to the Spurs chairman went up from £3.7m to £5.8m, which means that the former Tottenham executive has been paid nearly £56m over the last 16 years.
It is revealed that Levy’s remuneration last season was once again comfortably the highest of any chairman across the Premier League, with Brighton’s Paul Barber in second place, only receiving £2.7m.
MORE SPURS STORIES
It is suggested that this season’s accounts could also reflect a sizable sum paid to the former Spurs chairman as a ‘golden goodbye’ after his departure last September
Additionally, Tottenham’s accounts last season show that an additional £6.6m compensation was paid for a director’s loss of office, which Swiss Ramble suggest could have been paid to Donna-Maria Cullen, who stepped down from the Spurs board last June.
Levy allegedly considered suing the Lewis family
It was reported by Bloomberg at the start of last week that Levy has considered suing the Lewis family after being thrown out of the club he helped build.
The outlet claimed that the former Tottenham chairman believes he owns more of ENIC than 29.88 per cent to reflect the work he has done over the last two and a half decades.
