Who are ENIC? Tottenham's owners profiled as Daniel Levy faces European Super League decision

Tottenham's position in the European Super League has thrust chairman Daniel Levy back into the limelight.

Fresh off the decision to sack Jose Mourinho on Monday morning, Levy is facing another dilemma as Spurs' fellow breakaway reportedly begin to pull out of the European Super League.

football.london understand that Chelsea are already preparing to pull out of the European Super League with Manchester City reportedly not far behind.

Owners of the English clubs to sign up to the league have come in for intense criticism since announcing their plans to join the league over the weekend.

However, Tottenham's owners are much more secretive than the others, rarely making public appearances related to the club and leaving much of that up to Levy.

Here football.london breaks down the numbers and takes a closer look at the reclusive owners of Tottenham.

Who owns Tottenham?

Joe Lewis' English National Investment Company group, which is registed in the Bahamas, owns 85.5% of the north London club having taken control 20 years ago.

How much is Joe Lewis worth?

Forbes estimates that Lewis is worth £3.6billion.

What are Lewis' others business interests?

The 84-year-old made the bulk of his money in currency trading and through the Tavistock Group has more than 200 business interests ranging from golf to property, finance and the hospitality industry.

What about the club’s value?

The most recent Forbes evaluation, from May 2019, says Spurs are valued at £1.3billion but that figure is certain to have changed in the two years since owing to a lack of Champions League football and the coronavirus pandemic.

Deloitte placed Spurs ninth in their latest Money League, ahead of Serie A giants Juventus, having been 12th five years ago.

And their revenue?

The club's latest accounts, to the end of May last year, showed that all three revenue streams took a hit as a result of the pandemic but their income from broadcasting, commercial and matchday amounted to £391.9million.
