Tottenham Hotspur paid more money to its board of directors in the 2021/22 season than any other team in the Premier League, it has been revealed.
The ENIC group has owned Tottenham for more than 20 years now, with Daniel Levy the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League now.

Despite this, there is growing unrest among supporters of the club, who feel Levy’s time is up and the ENIC group should sell the club.
There were chants of “Daniel Levy, get out of our club” on Monday night against Everton from the Spurs fans (Dan Kilpatrick), as well as the match against Brighton.
The problems at Tottenham behind the scenes have reached crisis point this season and a report from The Telegraph suggested Levy currently faces the worst period of his reign at the club.
Despite this, it seems financially the club is thriving and so are the board of directors according to the latest from analysis at Football Insider.
According to the data, Tottenham paid out a Premier League record of £6.8 million last season to its board.
Levy himself received almost half of that sum, making him the highest-paid director in the league.
Manchester United’s Richard Arnold was next on the list, receiving a payment of £1.9 million. The report states United paid out £6 million in total, while Arsenal were third highest with a bill of £4.3 million. Liverpool were next with payments of £3.4 million.
At Spurs, the payments were shared between Levy, finance director Matthew Collecott, executive director Donna-Maria Cullen, and non-executive director Jonathan Turner.

I think it’s a joke that Levy and the board received that much money while the club struggles to invest properly in players and managers.
They should spend less time worrying about lining their own pockets and more time worrying about how to make the club a success on the field, which should be the sole purpose of any football club.
