Tottenham has been the subject of large-scale purchase bids from high-tech entrepreneurs in the US.
It was reported that Brooklyn Earick has put together a strong consortium to fund a world record bid worth £4.5 billion to buy Tottenham.
According to the report, Earick provided £3.3 billion to buy the club and an additional £1.2 billion to fund other expenses, including transfer fees, agent fees, wages and more.
Enic and the Lewis Family make big decisions to acquire Tottenham
Despite the important offer from Earick, the Lewis family and Enic “explicitly rejected” the offer, revealing that the club has not been offered for sale under any circumstances. The family shows a long-term commitment to the club.
Following the decision on the current owner, US tech entrepreneurs have resigned their interest in buying up Premier League clubs.
In a statement released on the London Stock Exchange on Monday, Earick confirmed that his consortium is not intending to make a firm offer to the club’s entire issued share capital.
The statement read:
“In addition, the presentation made by the committee Tottenham Hotspur Brooklyn Eric, who was restricted on September 26, 2025, has confirmed that he is not planning on making a firm offer.
“Therefore, any person currently acting in unison with Brooklyn Eric, will be bound by the restrictions set forth in Rule 2.8 of the Code, except with the consent of the acquisition panel.”
“Brooklyn Eyack and the Consortium also reserve the right to acquire shares in the Company if and in accordance with the Code and other applicable regulations.”
Tottenham has undergone many changes behind the scenes
The failed attempts at acquisitions occur during the period of change in the boardroom that began before Earick’s interest.
The most important change was the unexpected departure of Daniel Levy’s Executive Secretary after nearly 25 years of helm.
The move, designed by the Lewis family, demonstrates a clear desire for a new era and a commitment to achieving more victory and more victory.
Levi is recognized for changing the Spurs’ financial position and delivering the world-class Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but has often faced criticism for his lack of ambition on the field.
The club’s day-to-day operations are now led by Vinai Venkatesham, appointed CEO. Previously at Arsenal, Venkatesham is responsible for strategy and execution, including transfers and club development. It is Peter Charrington who will support him. Peter Charlington has stepped into the newly created role of a non-executive chairman.
This reconstructed governance model aims to move away from the highly centralized control of the tax age and bring about sustained sport success for management teams.
By articulating the club’s commitment to a long-term future, both through new appointments and a solid refusal to sell to Earick, the Lewis family appears to have firmly shown that success, rather than a change in ownership, is built internally.
