The Lab (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)
S2E33 | The Price Of Tottenham ft Kieran Maguire
Kieran Maguire is the go-to voice when it comes to football finance — whether it’s untangling FFP, breaking down club accounts, or explaining how teams like Chelsea can keep spending without (apparently) breaking the rules. He’s a lecturer in football finance at the University of Liverpool, co-host of the Price of Football podcast, and author of the book by the same name. If you’ve ever seen a financial headline in football and thought, “What does that actually mean?”, chances are Kieran’s already explained it better than anyone else. With Daniel Levy recently publishing Tottenham’s latest financial results — including a dip in revenue, a collapse in UEFA prize money, and ongoing commercial growth — we thought it was the perfect time to dig into the numbers and ask what it all means for Spurs moving forward.

In this episode, we’ll explore the motivations behind Middle Eastern investment in football, how a Qatari takeover would compare to Saudi and Abu Dhabi ownership, and whether Daniel Levy would remain in control. Crucially, we’ll also consider the concerns—should fans be excited or worried? Will this transform Tottenham into genuine title contenders, or does it pose ethical and financial dilemmas? Join us as we break down the facts, the speculation, and the potential impact of Qatari ownership on the future of Tottenham Hotspur. Learn more about your ad choices.
