Tottenham fans to hold ‘major’ protest amid £100m+ ENIC reveal
Tottenham supporters are once again set to protest against the ownership structure in North London when they take on Crystal Palace.
As the ongoing Premier League season has worn on, frustrations have continued to build among the Spurs faithful, with supporters staging protests against Daniel Levy and ENIC.
While the large-scale demonstrations have been reserved for outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, travelling Spurs supporters have made their voices heard too, with fans in Germany recently protesting against Levy.
More Tottenham protests have been mooted between now and the end of the season, and a fresh ENIC reveal clearly underlines why these demonstrations are taking place.
ENIC investment in Tottenham among lowest in the Premier League
As reported by Matt Law (28 April), a well-placed source has confirmed to Telegraph Sport that Spurs will most likely be forced to sell to buy this summer, which all but confirms Cristian Romero’s exit.
Therefore, this is only likely to increase frustration among supporters, especially considering how little of their own money ENIC have put into the Lilywhites.
| Year Ended | June 2024 | June 2023 |
| Match receipts | £105.8million | £117.6million |
| UEFA prize money | £1.3million | £56.2million |
| Commercial & Other income | £255.2million | £227.7million |
| Total revenue | £528.2million | £549.6million |
Further in his report, Law stated that ENIC have provided £122.1 million in owner funding since their 2001 takeover to June 2024, which equates to just £5.3 million per season. However, the majority of this came from a £97.5million share issue in May 2022.
Since this share issue, which was initially announced as being worth up to £150million, a total of 13 English clubs have received more owner funding.
As a result, it is clear to see why fans are frustrated, with Law going on to add that supporters will hold “their fourth major protest against Levy and ENIC” when Tottenham host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday, 11 May.
Tottenham supporters have every right to feel frustrated
Since ENIC’s takeover, Spurs have grown commercially. However, success on the pitch has been limited.
Therefore, it is understandable why fans are so angry as they continue to pay some of the highest ticket prices in England to watch largely mediocre football, with ENIC clearly not bothered to do much about this.
