Dan Plumley has stated that Tottenham faces no significant issues beyond potential negative publicity after former owner Joe Lewis pleaded guilty to insider trading on January 24th.

According to Bloomberg, the guilty plea from Lewis, who admitted to passing information to his private pilots and girlfriend, has brought embarrassment. However, Plumley, a finance expert, has indicated that the Premier League sees no necessity to take action against Spurs concerning the initial charges, suggesting that adverse publicity is the primary repercussion for the club at present.

“From a Spurs perspective, there’s no real issue,” Plumley exclusively shared with Tottenham News.

The Premier League had approved Lewis’s resignation from Spurs in October 2022 and did not find it appropriate to intervene in response to the charges brought in July 2023.

Plumley acknowledged that while people may still associate Lewis with Spurs, only minor negative publicity is anticipated due to this historical connection. He sees no substantial repercussions for the club based on the available information.

Lewis had stepped back from his role at Tottenham on October 5, 2022, with the Premier League board endorsing his departure at that time, as reported by The Guardian. Tottenham had made efforts to dissociate themselves from the case, asserting that it was unrelated to the club.
