Exclusive: Tottenham could be set to earn a potential £60m windfall - Kieran Maguire
Finance expert Kieran Maguire has exclusively informed Spurs Web that Tottenham Hotspur could earn over £50m in winnings and revenue if they perform well over the coming weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League season is over. Fans have known that for a long time, the players know that, and Ange Postecoglou knows that.
At the moment, the Spurs squad is fighting for two things from weekend to weekend – pride and a bit of positive form to take into the remaining European fixtures.
Tottenham Hotspur have a crucial Europa League quarter-final clash against Eintracht Frankfurt starting on Thursday in north London, with the return leg taking place in Germany on Thursday 17 April.
Finance expert Kieran Maguire now reveals that Spurs could earn themselves a cool £50m just from winning the quarter-final, semi-final, and final. This doesn’t even take into account the £11m Tottenham would win for lifting the Europa League trophy itself.
How much Spurs could earn with Champions League qualification
By winning the Europa League, Tottenham not only end their long-standing trophy drought, but they also claim prize money and Champions League qualification in the process. With that comes increased summer funds for the North London club.
Liverpool University football finance lecturer Kieran Maguire, speaking exclusively to The Spurs Web said: “If Spurs don’t qualify for Europe, and I think if we are realistic, their main chances of getting into Europe is to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League next season.
“If they do that, everything transforms. They’ll get effectively £30 million upfront as an entry fee and they’ll get £5 million a match in the group stage. So that’s another £20million from ticket sales. They’ll get 2 million Euros for every win.
“Spurs should be aiming to get five wins out of out of eight and they should be aiming to get into the last sixteen, as a bare minimum.
“You look at the money from UEFA, which should be a minimum for me, of £50 million, ideally, if they make progress getting close to double that amount. You’ve got the match day income, you’ve got the sponsor bonuses and you put that all together.
“Let’s assume that Spurs get as far as the last sixteen and then, I would say that that’s worth £80 million to £90 million in total for the club that can be recycled into recruitment.”
Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League
Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt are polar opposites in their respective domestic tables heading toward the back end of the season. Spurs are all the way down in 14th, while Frankfurt are in the top three of the Bundesliga and stand a decent chance of qualifying for the Champions League regardless.

However, Spurs can at least take solace in Eintracht Frankfurt’s form guide heading into the Europa League quarter-finals. Tottenham’s is nothing to write home about either, but the Bundesliga side have lost five of their last seven league games.
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to take advantage of that and put a couple of goals past Frankfurt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, giving Spurs a lead to take to Germany.
