TOTTENHAM chairman Daniel Levy has enraged fans by reportedly handing himself a £500,000 pay rise.
The Spurs boss, 61, has faced criticism from the Lilywhites faithful in recent months as chants of “get out of our club” have been heard inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The club’s wait for a trophy has now reached 15 years and an indifferent 2022/23 season has done little to please fans.
They sit fourth in the Premier League table and are still in the last-16 of the Champions League and fifth round of the FA Cup.
Yet despite Levy coming under fire, The Telegraph have revealed accounts for the year ending June 2022 show that the chairman earned £3.265million, compared with £2.698m for the previous 12 months.
What’s more, the total earned by Tottenham’s seven directors has risen to £6.773m, a huge increase from £4m.
Tottenham declined to comment when approached by SunSport.
Levy did earn £7m in £2019 – including a £3m bonus for the completion of their new stadium.
However, his most recent bonus has still raised eyebrows among Spurs supporters.
Reacting on social media, one person said: “Bro has no shame and you have to respect it”.
Another added: “Failed to deliver success on the pitch but still awards himself a pay rise? We all know what the priority is”.
And a third replied: “What on earth has he done to warrant that? Highest paid exec in the league running a club whose ambition is top four only. Give me a break!”
Tottenham’s other six directors are director of football Fabio Paratici, chief commercial officer Todd Kline, executive director Donna-Maria Cullen, operations and finance director Matthew Collecott, director of football administration and governance Rebecca Caplehorn and non-executive director Jonathan Turner.
Spurs are yet to secure a stadium naming rights deal since moving into their new ground in 2019.
And earlier this month they missed out on a £42.5m sponsorship from South Africa.
