So how wealthy do we have to be for these players to be realistic targets. If the 10th richest club in the world view Sessegnon or Zaha as unrealistic targets somethings rotten at the top.
And if our financial position is so tight, then surely the man at the top should be setting an example.
Tottenham double amount paid to Daniel Levy for the year to more than £6m
Tottenham players stung by Daniel Levy’s £6m pay
Tottenham and Daniel Levy are the highest paid directors and chairmen in British football : coys
But not these kind of examples .
These numbers are not a fair reflection of Levy. A huge chunk of this payment was a one off bonus for the work he has done on a project that has taken 10 years of his time.
That one off payment skews the numbers. What was his pay before the bonus? That gives a far better reflection compared to this unique situation no other Premier League club finds itself in.
