Tottenham Hotspur has rejected a takeover proposal from a US consortium led by Brooklyn Earick and reaffirmed their stance that the club is not for sale.
Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed that it has received and unequivocally rejected a takeover proposal from a US consortium led by Brooklyn Earick, a former DJ and NASA researcher. The proposal was made through an informal expression of interest, which came via email without any advisors or proof of funds.
In response to the proposal, the Spurs board, led by majority shareholders ENIC group, released a statement reaffirming that “Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC is not looking to sell its stake in the club.”
The US consortium now has a deadline of October 24 to either announce a firm intention to make an offer for the club or withdraw their interest. Earick has been cryptically posting on social media, including a photo of the Spurs dressing room with a countdown to the deadline.
A source close to the Lewis family, who run Spurs, emphasized that the family’s resolve and commitment to the club remain unchanged. “This unsolicited and unnecessary interest does nothing to change the family’s resolve and commitment to do whatever it takes to drive success on the pitch. The club is not for sale.”
The rejection of the takeover proposal comes after Daniel Levy’s departure from the club after nearly 25 years as executive chairman. Levy’s exit had sparked speculation about a potential sale, but the Lewis family has reiterated their commitment to the club’s long-term success.
Tottenham’s head coach, Thomas Frank, has also spoken out about the takeover proposal, stating that he has received reassurances from the Lewis family and CEO Vinai Venkatesham that the club is stable and not for sale.
“The Lewis family has been very transparent, very good in the way they have communicated and it’s very clear the club is not for sale,” Frank said.
The club’s ownership structure remains unchanged, with ENIC Sports & Development Holdings Ltd controlling nearly 87% of Tottenham’s shares. The remaining shares are held by Levy and his family, although his departure has fueled industry talk about potential takeover bids.
Despite the speculation, Tottenham’s leadership remains committed to driving success on the pitch, building on the foundations of their Europa League triumph. The club’s focus remains on long-term success, rather than entertaining takeover speculation.
