Tottenham could lose over £150 million if the stadiums remain closed to fans, proclaims Daniel Levy

While leagues across Europe slowly but steadily open up their doors again, Europe’s major leagues aren’t looking to do the same with Germany recently closing their stadium doors. That was in order to combat the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic while both the Italian and the English leagues haven’t opened their doors at all. That has seen an outcry of support against that as theatres, malls and other public places slowly open up.

“The 2020/21 season has so far seen no fans at games, and this is compounded by a loss of third party events such as NFL, concerts, the closure of stores and visitor attractions. Our estimate for the current financial year of the potential loss of revenue, should the stadium remain closed to fans, is in excess of £150 million. Clearly this would be an irrecoverable loss of income.”
