Tottenham Hotspur’s owners have promised significant investment and a major rebuild after the club narrowly avoided Premier League relegation for a second consecutive season.
Tottenham Hotspur’s majority owners have pledged to rebuild the club after Spurs narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League for the second consecutive season.
A tense 1-0 victory over Everton on the final day of the campaign ensured Tottenham finished 17th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. The result spared the North London club from a shocking drop into the Championship.
However, another deeply disappointing season sparked frustration and anger among supporters, particularly after Tottenham went through three different managers during the 2025/26 campaign.
Much of the criticism from fans has been directed at majority owners ENIC, led by the Lewis family, as well as chief executive Vinai Venkatesham. Long-serving chairman Daniel Levy has also faced increasing pressure, with calls for him to step down growing louder throughout the season.
In a letter addressed to supporters, the Lewis family admitted they were “bitterly disappointed” by Tottenham’s performances and acknowledged that back-to-back finishes just above the relegation zone were unacceptable for a club of Spurs’ size and history.
The ownership group promised that a major rebuild is already underway under current manager Roberto De Zerbi. They stressed that football operations would once again become the club’s top priority moving forward.
According to the statement, Tottenham plan to invest heavily across several areas, including the first team, academy structure, and backroom staff. The owners also insisted they are not planning to sell the club and remain fully committed to restoring Spurs’ competitiveness.
Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, who joined Tottenham after leaving Arsenal, also admitted the club faced serious football-related issues during his first season in charge. He insisted those problems are now being addressed as Spurs attempt to rebuild and move away from one of the most difficult periods in the club’s modern history.
