Tottenham Named Best-Run Club in Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur has been awarded the title of the best-run club in the Premier League, according to the Fair Game Index. The club has made significant strides off the pitch, notably with the construction of a £1 billion stadium, yet it has not secured a trophy since winning the League Cup in 2008, a fact that continues to frustrate its fanbase. Chairman Daniel Levy expressed pride in the club's governance, emphasizing sustainability, fan engagement, and community involvement as core values. The Fair Game Index highlights Tottenham's above-average performance in governance, equality standards, and community engagement, with the club leading the Premier League in financial sustainability. This recognition comes amid ongoing discussions about the need for improved governance in football, with Fair Game advocating for a new independent regulator to oversee the sport. Niall Couper, CEO of Fair Game, acknowledged the imperfections within football but noted the potential for positive change with the introduction of a football regulator. He emphasized the importance of the Fair Game Index in reshaping the sport for future generations. Couper also pointed out that Scottish football authorities have the opportunity to learn from England's experiences to foster a stronger future for the game in Scotland. As Tottenham celebrates this accolade, the club remains focused on its commitment to good governance and community engagement, aiming to ensure its long-term success both on and off the field.
