Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy received a sizable pay increase as revealed in the club’s latest accounts released last week. Spurs disclosed their latest financial results up to June 30, 2024 which showed that club directors were paid a total of £5.068million. Daniel Levy was rewarded with a substantial pay increaseAFP or licensors Levy, the highest-paid director, received a whopping £3.728m, an increase from the £3.581m received for the period up to June 2023, although he was also paid a £3m bonus for that period. The 63-year-old did not receive a bonus for June 2024 however his earnings for the period dwarf that of Chelsea’s highest paid director who netted £1.69m. The figures are unlikely to strengthen ties between Levy and the club’s disgruntled fanbase, who have held the Spurs supremo responsible for the club’s dismal form this season.
