Football Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was paid a £3million bonus by the club last year, Spurs ’ latest set of financial results has revealed. The figure is roughly in line with what Spurs stand to make from a six per cent increase in season-ticket prices across the board from next season, estimated to bring in an extra £2.5m to £3m in revenue, and is likely to provoke scrutiny. Levy’s pay increased by £316,000 to £3.581m for the year ending June 2023, up from £3.265m for the previous 12 months, while the total earned by Spurs’ directors was £9.07m, up a significant £3.221m from £5.849m in 2022. Levy was also paid a £3m bonus over the course of the year, taking his total earnings to £6.581m, despite him facing significant unrest from supporters during a dismal 2022-23 campaign . Spurs finished eighth last term, while their trophy drought extended to a 15th year and Levy dismissed head coach Antonio Conte and interim boss Cristian Stellini in a chaotic and unhappy end to the season, during which fans repeatedly berated the chairman. While Levy still earned less than in the year ending June 2019, when the 62-year-old was paid a salary of £4m and a £3m bonus for completing the new stadium, his latest takings will frustrate fan groups, coming against the backdrop of season-ticket hikes and the controversial decision to end new senior concessions . Levy’s bonus also comes amid Spurs losses of £86.8m for the year ending June 2023, although revenue exceeded half-a-billion pounds for the first time. Some fans protested against the club’s decision to end all new senior concessions from the 2025-26 season and strip back existing discounts in future by turning their backs on the pitch after 65 minutes of Saturday’s game against Luton. There is another protest planned for Sunday’s visit of Nottingham Forest. Executive director Donna-Maria Cullen, operations and finance director Matthew Collecott, director of football administration and governance Rebecca Caplehorn and non-executive director Jonathan Turner are the club’s other directors, although Todd Kline, the former commercial director, was also among them for the accounting period. Kline has since joined
