I don’t think articles like this should be published here tbh. Its not even an article. It’s a mind wander from some bored hack

I can’t see the originating Times article but from the first few paras it looks the same. Total conjecture

I’m sure they’re furious that their bosses boss is being paid more than them (but still less than Harry )

 

[cider spurs]

Wondered how long it would take after the financials were published.

Right on cue, couple of days. Not bad. Any quotes or just dream on dreamer.

My boss was always paid more than me, non story!

 

[Dougal]

Haven’t read the link. Do they think he deserves more? Yeah, that’s probably it.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

They don't know what he's spending it on - he could be using it for a really worthy cause, something that could change the lives of millions...

Like a Spurs flavoured satellite.

Or ground breaking research into a cure for baldness! Or shortness. Or tightness. I’ve always found alcohol to be a great financial lubricant.

So the big boss gets paid the most just like any other business. Why is this even news?

 

[davidmatzdorf]

As well as the article being pure shit-stirring, even a cursory read reveals that Levy's large remuneration is a one-off, resulting from bonuses related to the stadium and to increased/record turnover.

We all know that there is also a liberal bonus system for the players. So the article is comparing Levy's salary including bonuses (one of which is unlikely to be repeated) with players' basic salaries excluding bonuses.

They have also subtly distorted the impression by quoting Levy's income in millions per year and the players' income in thousands per week.

Levy's done an incredible job getting us where we are. Worth every penny.

*sigh* Don't click on the link.

How much extra does Levy get for each goal, or clean sheet, or league placement?

Nothing. Players get more.

Nothing. Players get more.

To be fair, Levy hasn't conceded a goal in a pretty long time, he's probably earned that clean sheet bonus

‘Tottenham supporters angry about lazy shit **** journalists writing complete bollox with no quotes whatsoever’

Quite amazing just how much of this type of rubbish is written every day about plenty of clubs

Can you imagine any of our players storming into levy's office and going:

"errrrrr whats this i hear? You get paid more than me do you? Remind me again how many goals, assists and clean sheets you have this season!!"

Complete bollocks story.
