Daniel Levy will be forced to make a difficult decision by the end of the season, with Tottenham Hotspur in danger of failing to qualify for European football. Despite Ange Postecoglou's best efforts to juggle an injury crisis, the Lilywhites have disappointed lately.

After losing to Leicester City at the weekend, Tottenham are now 15th in the Premier League, with only nine points stopping them from falling into the relegation zone. While the North Londoners are 17 points adrift of the top four, they can still qualify for the Champions League via the Europa League.

Fortunately for Spurs, they've made it out of the 'league phase', taking them one step closer to the final at the San Mamés Stadium in Spain. If Tottenham either fail to win the tournament or secure European qualification via domestic competition, Levy will miss out on millions – whether it be prize money, sponsorships or ticket sales, among other sources of income too.

While it would be a huge blow for Spurs – on and off the pitch – the club's chairman will be just fine. In April 2024, Tottenham's financial results showed Levy was paid £3.581m in 2023, which was up from £3.265m the previous year, and received an accrued bonus of £3m paid across the year.

The 62-year-old also received a £3m bonus back in 2019 upon the completion of the club's new stadium. By 2024, Levy ranked 301st on The Times' 'Rich List', which estimates the minimum wealth of Britain's 350 richest people or families.

The valuations were carried out between November 2023 and May 1, 2024. Levy can attribute his wealth to a record-breaking 2022/23 financial year, with Spurs' revenue rising from the previous year's £444m to £549.6m – an increase of 24%.

"Our turnover has exceeded half a billion pounds for the first time," said Levy in April 2024. "Whilst UEFA monies contributed, this has also been driven by increased stadium revenues from both football and non-football events and additional revenue streams.

"This is the impact of our multi-use stadium and what our board has been focussed on delivering in order to invest in our football in a financially sustainable manner. The absolute priority for our club is to deliver on-pitch success."

Off the pitch, Levy has transformed Tottenham into well-oiled, money-making machine. On the pitch, there's a lot of room for improvement.

Between now and the end of the season, the club's chairman will be forced to make a decision on Postecoglou's future. Stick or twist. Despite a terrible run of form, football.london understands that Spurs have decided to stick with the 59-year-old for now, and they'll try to sign at least one player for him before the January transfer window slams shut on Monday night.

Bringing a new face to Hotspur Way will cost a lot of money – especially one that can drag Tottenham up the Premier League table. But, parting ways with Postecoglou and appointing a replacement could cost just as much – if not more...
