The chances of Tottenhham Hotspur winning the Premier League title are slim after their draw against West Bromwich Albion last night. However, they have every chance of making the group stages of the Champions League.
One of Daniel Levy’s smartest moves in his 15 years as Tottenham chairman has been to keep wages relatively low. No one at Spurs earns £300,000 a week, with the best paid players – Hugo Lloris, ErikLamlea and Mousa Dembele – in the £70,000-£80,000 a week bracket.

Harry Kane earns about £50,000 a week, Dele Alli, the PFA Young Player of the Year, about half of that. Jan Vertonghen gets about £40,000 and Eric Dier and Christian Eriksen, both key players this season, around £30,000.
Will it be possible for Levy to keep salaries at this level as Spurs press for the title next season? If he does relax his wages structure, what impact might that have on Spurs’s excellent squad spirit?
