Tottenham will have 30 points deducted from their tally in the Premier League if they ever join a breakaway league like the European Super League, Sun Sports reports.
The Lilywhites are one of the teams that wanted to break away from UEFA to form the new club competition.
It was foiled after fans protested their teams’ participation and it drew strong criticism from around the world.
The Premier League has now fined the six rebelling teams £3.5m each and they have agreed to the points deduction penalties for any future attempts.
This is a punishment they forced the Premier League to hand out to them to draw a line and secure their allegiance to UEFA in the future.
The report says the other 14 teams who didn’t take part in the scheme might not be happy with the punishment.
Some of them had been pushing for immediate points deductions, but Premier league chief, Richard Masters, recognises that the top six are the key clubs in the competition and he feels the above punishment is enough.
Spurs’ decision to join that botched effort has backfired with more fans turning against their leadership.
It came at a time when their team was struggling on the pitch and Jose Mourinho was sacked.
They will hope to move on from this and deliver some memorable moments to their fans next season.
Sad but true. Paratici may be tempted by the opportunity of spending some of the Kane, probably Son, and any deadwood sales money but there is absolutely no way we can improve and be competitive in the PL without our only world class players and Fonseca as manager. We’re in for a long journey to shi**y mediocrity. We’re heading back to the 90s.
Just when you think Levy cannot sink any lower he still manages to surprise you. The fiasco with Conte to boost season ticket sales is shown in its full glory when immediately after the deadline Conte is suddenly a dead deal and out of nowhere enters the sacked manager of Roma who have just taken in the manager sacked by Levy. What does all this say about the ambition and status of this club? What does it tell the players at the club and those who may be approached to join. This is another patsy appointment by Levy hiding behind the DOF. This will be another new project with jam tomorrow promised. Kane is long gone now and I cannot see Son staying to be honest. Bale will return to Real Madrid. So in one season Levy destroys what was anticipated to be one of the most formidable forward lineups in the world of Son, Kane and Bale. A remarkable achievement that must warrant another bonus I would suggest.
Brilliant. Would be even funnier if the on-screen Fonz hadn’t the same chance of being successful under Levy.
So it’s the FONZ then. Good luck Paulo.
That was Levy’s tactics for the whole time after 18 months when Spurs will be struggling he comes out and blames Paratici and will sack him. and after another season fire the manager Paratici hired. so Levy is under the radar next 2 seasons he got his scapegoats next 2 seasons you couldn’t make it up the guy has Spurs club and their fans in the pocket he can switch on and off at will.
Think the point was fairly clear.
Dier and Sanchez must be rubbing their hands waiting to work with him.
Agree Cali. Apparently he is Paratici’s choice. Diabolical appointment.
Fonseca sacked by Roma who replaced him with Mourinho who was sacked by Spurs unbelievable and it shows where Spurs is headed in the near future it is official now Tottenham Hotspur club hates winners and anything related of winning football it is impeded the clubs DNA for good.
what is your point man? are you trying to make excuses for the guy already some Spurs fans they amaze me how deep Levy got in to them.the guy won against top six in Italy 4 times in 24 games for god’s sake Man United scored 8 goals against him and you trying to polish us a turd get real man.
Roma beat Ajax in europa quarter final and i think he may have won more trophies than Ten Hag.
Plus Fonseca dressed up as Zorro in post match presser. What more could you want. …..maybe he’ll carve a “Z” in Levy’s forehead.
The blokes had ACL ops on both knees. Im not sure he’d last in the premier league.
Roma suffered a lot of injuries. Zaniolo missed the whole season i think. Kumbulla, a very promising centre back, missed a lot of games as did Chris Smalling. Their key defensive midfielder, Diawara, also missed a lot of game time.
Roma created the most decent goal scoring chances in European leagues last season. Unfortunately they had a worse defence than Spurs and conceded 58. They also suffered with a lot of injuries and have missed arguably their best player. Not the appointment anyone was expecting but I think he is someone that could work within the current set-up.
Roma scored 68 and conceded 58 last season. Looks like we’re in for a nice serving of the “Tottenham Way”, whatever that is.
Looking forward to seeing Chris Smalling in a Spurs shirt next season
Jesus Christ, we sack serial winner Jose and he goes to Roma. We end up with Roma’s reject. Way to go Levy you ‘king cnut. I give up.
Well he’ll sack him and the DOF unless we get top 4, that’s why both Poch and Jose got booted…
😭
He’s met Levy plenty of times “nein danke”! 😂
He’s sounding more appealing by the second. Oh what a mess.
I heard it was Poundland… 😆
Who knows, Levy needs that kind of slap in the face. It’s been coming to be fair…
It’s holiday season….Klinsmanns busy claiming sunbeds….
#80’s humour.
Relegation?
Good luck to him.
Indeed. Surprised club idol Klinsmann was seemingly overlooked??
Potter knows the league and I saw his Ostersund side in the flesh. The guy knows what he’s doing, at least. Possession footy too…
Statement midtable appointment by Levy,
I heard Woolworths have got the stadium rights🙃
With that ‘win ratio’ you’d expect him to be hot property wouldn’t you? Sacked from Villa over two years ago and hasn’t worked as a manager since… 🤔
Potter linked to Everton!
I’d take Potter too….just cos he knows the Prem.
This is what it’s come down too. We knew though didn’t we….
Plays a 343 normally
which will probably translate itself into poor attendances next season with fans voting with their feet!!
Sacked from Roma and walks into the Spurs job? What the f*ck is going on!? 😂
Bring back Tim Sherwood (PL win ratio after 22 games 59.9%) All is forgiven!!
1/5 on if he gets it he mentions the facilities and stadium in the first 5 minutes of the opening press conference….
Just
Happy
To
Be.
Here
ENIC have ripped our soul out….
It smacks of getting a manager who plays a system for the players we’ve got and doesn’t really know about Levy.
This is all set to become very interesting. Will he still he still be with us next summer?
i honestly think Potter or Parker would have even been better picks. This is truly shocking stuff…
A very sad indictment on a great club with an illustrious history!
Yeah… he’s fairly cr*p I think it’s safe to say!
Levy can’t get anyone decent to work for him…
They’ll give it their best shot…..😬
It is written DD. These are desperate times…
It’s the perfect appointment 😲
I bet he could beat 58 with our defence 😭
Second rate owners, second rate trophies…
This can’t be true. I know a fair few Roma fans and they say he was shocking. Their team was as poor as we were this season. This is just a pointless appointment if true. Levy is such a k-nob if this happens.
Nobody wants to work for Daniel, In fact bringing in a DOF, at least means they don’t have to deal with the c*nt on a daily basis.
Perhaps Levy’s reputation is so bad now that he had to bring in a DOF to persuade at least someone to take the job?! 🤔
Roma conceded 58 goals this season. Nice.
The only thing that could maybe be a chink of light is if there’s a chance to get Nicolo Zaniolo to follow him over….
That’s a long shot though….
Fonseca replaced Claudio Ranieri at Roma after three years with Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. The Portuguese also coached Porto and Braga in his homeland. He won three successive doubles in charge of Shakhtar between 2016 and 2019, as well as a Portuguese Cup with Braga in 2016 and a Portuguese Super Cup with Porto in 2013.

Presumably everybody else rejected the job??
That Ajax bloke et al.
Levy really ‘tried’ to appease the fans, bring back Poch, get Conte etc.
Alas, nothing more than window dressing and we end up with a bang average manager. So predictable…
Not fussy as I’d even settle for winning the Ropey Conference Cup!!
Universal approval from the ladies for our new manager.
Yep. Lewis should av chucked some dosh in, get Dybala too or big Bruno Petkovic(I think he got the hattrick for Zagreb) watch out for him in the Euros.
If only we were a proper football club.
Whilst I am happy to give the guy a chance, quite conceivably it could be the shortest reign ever!!
We can all dream of our second League Cup in 23 years! 😂
I kiss the shirt, amazing club and history and promise to deliver silverware!!
Another stooge through the door, another wasted couple of years. So predictable…
Personally we should have gone all out to get Conte!
Unlike Conte, this one is easy to believe. It’s soooooo ENIC fc.
Total bodge job…
Ok, so the latest is that Spurs are going for Paulo Fonseca, yes the man Jose is replacing at Roma! This is just complete bullsh*t, management ‘merry go round’ doesn’t even cover it. Another Levy another up with two yes men, one DOF and a manager to continue with the whole sham.
Great..
😆
I feel for Danny Rose…he had to google our players now he’s going to have to google our manager 😁
Yes, judging by the modus operandi, whoever it is will have no Kane, little money and a bunch of lay abouts who don’t care, it at least needs somebody who can communicate ideas quickly and clearly. Without a translator preferably.
Possibly bottom of the table 5 games into the new season should be interesting!!
What top side in the Prem would be looking at this manager? Utd? City? even Arsenal?? not a chance. The Levy progress….
From Poch to Conte to get ST’s renewed and we end up with this cheap punt….Levy keeps getting away with it…what happened to Levy Out?
Surely either Scotty Parker, Big Sam, or Chris Wilder would have been better appointments??!!
id say he’s on the same parameters Poch had when he joined, champions league in 4 or 5 years. But have a 3 year contract.
When I thought we would end up like Vicenza I didn’t think it would mean going 100% Italian as well?!
Smacking of desperation to me, knowing nothing about Fonseca’s managerial abilities then if he lasts longer than Messrs Gross and Santini he has done well!! Good luck!! Next …
Haha! Return to zone 3….
i hope he’s a success but I’ve a feeling he might as well turn up flashing an Oyster card
Can you imagine if we get the manager Jose went into replace?!
Oh My . Haaaa!
Utter utter anti climatic dross.
ENIC 101. Does the fella speak the language even.
Bottom 6 next season if this happens.
So Fonseca, is there something I’m missing in this appointment. Because 7th with Roma isn’t impressive.
👍
Sometimes.
Props to the Tottenham Hotspur foundation too (doing fine work in our schools) working from the wonderful Percy house. 🌚
Did you get similar when it was CL games, or is that too much to hope for?
Locally. Europa games are the only games some parents can afford to take their kids to. Europa games bring a few more quid into the local economy. People like me who do charitable work in my COMMUNITY drugs&alcohol, mental health (bubic Haga) we get chucked a few tickets. I live on the broad water farm estate. We have a wicked little academy here, broad water farm FC (big up clasford sterling MBE) tickets come our way also. I can totally understand why people who don’t live here think Europa lesser games are pointless. I don’t see it that way though. Hope you’re well man
A 30 point deduction is a pretty meaningless punishment when doled out to clubs whose domestic league place essentially means nothing, and who qualify for their new competition regardless. And 3.5M each is a joke.
Owners made to pay 20M each from their own non-club coffers would put a stop to the smoke-filled back-room plotting pretty sharpish I’d bet.
Is it just me who’s internet is glitching like max headroom on bath salts on some sites??
Just put the 2nd team in it.
Throw the games. They won’t win it.
‘They will hope to move on from this and deliver some memorable moments to their fans next season.’
Like a change of ownership.
Or that bloke who goes everywhere carrying plastic bags
Yes, I find the Europa fairly pointless, but the Conference is a whole new ball game. 30 deducted points for future misdemeanours seems right; however, I think at some stage the top clubs will probably just leave the Premiership altogether and go play in a new ESL.
30 deducted points isn’t the worst thing that could of happened this season. Let me explain. We ended up in that crummy Euro Competition that will see have to play more games than anyone else next season, traipsing all the way around the depths of Europe to play pointless games, so that when January comes around again no matter WHO we have in place as Manager will not be able to refresh the players enough to fight for a decent Euro place for the following season. Better we lose the 30 points and finish just above relegation so in the following season we can fight for things
I reckon that old lady with the bottles of water would have understood the dangers of trying to form the ESL, more than Levy did.
