Donna Marie Cullen will step down from Spurs board

The Telegraph’s Matt Law has himself one heck of an exclusive on his hands, with the news that Donna Marie Cullen is to step down at Spurs.

The news is yet to be confirmed by Tottenham, but staff have been informed of the decision in an email that has been seen by Telegraph Sport.

This could be the beginning of something quite spectacular at Tottenham for such a senior figure to bail at this stage. Cullen has been the Executive Director at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club since 2006.

Cullen oversees the planning consultations, corporate affairs, communications, content, and marketing. In particular, she played a key role in the development of the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, completed for the 2018/19 Premier League season, which she described as a “game changer” for the aggressively expanding business. Cullen has been on the end of a fair amount of fan ire over the years, but this is essentially from the fact that she is very much seen as Daniel Levy’s closest ally. The reasons for the departure are currently unclear, but if true, this will be revealed in due course. More to follow as we get it.
