What Daniel Levy paid himself as a bonus at Tottenham last year

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has now seen his earnings shared in the latest financial results to be published.

The latest figures to be released come just hours after Tottenham’s draw against West Ham on Tuesday night.

Ange Postecoglou’s men took the lead through Brennan Johnson, but were unable to really push on and take the game beyond the Hammers.

But it is something which has transpired away from the action on the pitch which will cause a lot of frustration among the Spurs fans.

How much Daniel Levy paid himself as a bonus

The financial report which was published on Wednesday morning was for the financial year ending 30 June 2023.

Spurs shared a lot of details which showed a lot of the good work which is going in off the field to increase revenue.

Construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has helped Spurs create more than £500m in revenue for the first time ever.

In the report, he also claims the club are now in discussions with potential investors to ‘capitalise on the long-term potential’ of the club.

However, it seems Daniel Levy has felt he is now deserving of a sizeable bonus to reward himself for the work he has put in.

Here is a breakdown on Levy’s earnings from last year.

Levy currently pays himself more than what the club are paying the likes of Micky van de Ven, Yves Bissouma and Emerson Royal.

Tottenham Hotspur season ticket prices

Naturally, the news of Levy handing himself such a bonus will see fans go back to the debate of why the club are increasing the price of next term’s season tickets.

Fans have already vented their anger at the announcement of the price rise and the scrapping of senior concessions.

However, this news out of north London will only add fuel to the fire.

Fans have already been seen protesting at recent Tottenham games with the away fans at Fulham holding up an angry banner, whilst some fans turned their backs on the game in the 65 minutes on Saturday.

It has been suggested the six per cent rise to season ticket prices could be worth between £2.5m-£3m.

Although it is not being suggested that Levy is paying himself from the increase in revenue the club will receive next season, it’s not a great look.

Given the club have generated enough money to see Levy hand himself such a bonus, it just goes to show the decision made on season ticket prices was indeed a decision and not a requirement.

Levy said: “The 2023/24 season, the first under Ange, was always going to be one of building for the future. We have seen progress with the return of exciting, attacking football, even when faced with significant player injuries.

“We continue to challenge for the highest possible place finish with eight games still to play and hope to bring European football to our home stadium again.”

What this now brings for Levy is an increased level of expectation from the fans.

If it is going to cost more for fans to watch their side in action, they will be wanting to see the investment made off the pitch for a higher standard of football.
