In The Money: Tottenham face £346million Super League decision after green light
Tottenham must choose whether or not to join the new Super League proposals after they were given a green light from the European Court of Justice.
The court verdict ruled that Fifa and Uefa acted unlawfully by blocking the creation of the breakaway league following their initial announcement in 2021.
The Super League founders – A22 – have now revealed plans for a new format for the competition that includes 64 teams across three divisions.
Spurs were one of the 12 founding clubs involved in the breakaway league in 2021, although the North London club withdrew from the project just days later after facing backlash from fans, pundits and media.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are the only two teams from the founding 12 that have continued their relationship with the Super League and the Spanish duo both released statements following the court verdict declaring that it “paved the way” for the tournament’s creation.
No Premier League sides have released a statement on the decision, but they now face a crucial decision on whether or not to rejoin the project.
However, Tottenham may face a 30-point deduction if they do decide to rejoin the Super League’s plans after sanctions were put in place by the Premier League and the UK government.
Joining the Super League would also mean that Spurs forfeit all involvement in the Champions League and any wider Uefa competitions.
Ultimately, the money on offer in the Super League is their largest selling point with the winner of the tournament set to receive as much as £346million (€400 million) [Marca].
That figure is almost triple the prize money earned in the current Champions League format.
