Tottenham stands to lose out on £83m worth of income if the 2019-20 Premier League season is cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That is according to the Daily Mail who have taken their best guess at calculating what scrapping the campaign would do to club’s coffers.
The latest understanding is that clubs are committed to finishing the season but this is a rapidly-changing situation so no scenario should be ruled out.
Sportsmail reports that Spurs would miss out on £41.9m worth of TV rights money, £16.8m in matchday revenue and £24.3m of commercial income.
This is how that compares to the rest of the Premier League…
That loss would not threaten the club’s existence, as £50m might to Burnley, as chairmain Mike Garlick told Sky Sports. But I’m sure it is big enough sum to give Daniel Levy an excuse to reduce transfer activity to a minimum.
We weren’t going to spend much anyway, so at least pay the damn staff.
