Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy face a massive bill if he chooses to remove manager Jose Mourinho.
The Mirror says Mourinho would cost Tottenham £25 million to sack him and pay up the remaining two years of his contract.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is expected to give Mourinho a stay of execution to see if he can deliver the club's first trophy since 2008 in next month's Carabao Cup final and a top-four finish.
But with fans in open revolt against the manager's sterile tactics after the dismal Europa League exit at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb, he has almost run out of road.
Mourinho, whose salary is believed to be in excess of £12m-a-year, gave his players the silent treatment after the calamitous defeat in Croatia.
