This recognition comes at a time when Tottenham has often been criticized for prioritizing business over trophies. Yet, their top spot on the ‘Fair Game Index’ reveals a different story: a club that has masterfully balanced the books while building a world-class stadium, forging innovative partnerships, and ensuring long-term sustainability.

Club chair Daniel Levy expressed pride in the achievement, stating that it reflects Tottenham’s commitment to both governance and community impact.

The study didn’t just shine a light on Spurs, though. Manchester United, despite ongoing controversies surrounding ownership, secured second place with a score of 65.4, indicating that new leadership under INEOS might be turning the tide at Old Trafford.

With five Premier League clubs making the top 10, the index serves as a wake-up call for clubs across the leagues: smart governance and financial health are as vital as on-pitch success. For Tottenham, this accolade is not just a feather in the cap—it’s a signal that their meticulous off-field strategy is paying off, positioning them as a model of modern football management.
