Unequal game: Levy paid more last season than entire Spurs women’s team and staff

• Former executive chairman received £5.76m

• Pay exceeded combined wage bill of women’s team

Daniel Levy, the former executive chairman of Tottenham, was paid more during the 2024-25 season than all 64 players and staff at the club’s women’s team combined, the publication of their latest financial accounts has shown.

The highest-paid director, widely understood to be Levy, received £5.76m in remuneration for the year ending 30 June 2025, a significant uplift of around 54% to what he was paid in 2024 and, according to the football finance expert Kieran Maguire, ensured Levy was the Premier League’s highest-paid director last season. He departed Spurs in September after almost 25 years in charge.
