Tottenham chief Daniel Levy is expected to remain the highest-paid director in the Premier League for the 2023/24 season, Football Insider can reveal.
The 61-year-old is the longest-serving chairman in the top flight after holding his role at Spurs since 2001.
Tottenham’s latest financial accounts for the 2021/22 season revealed Levy earns £3.3million per year, ranking him as the highest-earning director in the Premier League.
Brighton’s Paul Barber is placed second with an annual salary of £2.9million, while Chelsea’s former chief executive Marina Granovskaia ranked third with a pay of £2.2million.
Football Insider understands that Levy is set to remain as the highest-paid director in the league, with Spurs continuing to pay him north of £3million per season.
Levy was heavily involved in Tottenham’s move from White Hart Lane to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after helping to organise and finance the £1billion construction of the new venue.
The club’s income has soared during his tenure, with the club posting revenues of £444million in 2021/22.
In comparison, Spurs posted revenues of £144million a decade prior in their 2011/12 accounts.
Levy has, however, faced criticism for Tottenham’s on-pitch performances, with the club yet to win a trophy since their League Cup triumph in 2008.
Investment in the squad has also come under fire, but spending has been limited partly because of the club’s net debt of £626million caused by the stadium construction
Levy’s salary may be contested by new Manchester United director John Murtough, who replaced Ed Woodward at Old Trafford in 2021.
Woodward was previously paid £3,327,000 a year by the Red Devils, while Murtough’s salary is yet to be revealed by the Manchester club.
