TOTTENHAM chairman Daniel Levy says he understands supporters' calls for increased transfer spending by the club, but warned that Premier League power "is now vested in the hands of a few who dominate and have the ability to distort the market".
In a rare public statement, accompanying the club's latest financial results, Levy said the current level of spending in the top-flight is "unsustainable", welcomed new Financial Fair Play regulations and appeared to aim at dig at top-four rivals Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester City.
Spurs this morning announced an increase in revenue by 22.7 per cent to £444million for the year ending June 2022 up from £361.9m in the previous 12 months.
The increase was largely down to a dramatic upturn in match-day receipts of £106.1m (up from £1.9m in 2021), a result of the resumption of games being played in full grounds after two seasons of disruption from the pandemic and a first full season inside their new stadium.
