Brooklyn Earick confirms he will not bid for Tottenham as Lewis family reaffirms commitment | OneFootball

Brooklyn Earick has officially confirmed that he does not intend to make a takeover bid for Tottenham Hotspur, ending weeks of speculation over the club’s ownership.

In a statement later released by the club, Tottenham said: “The Board of Tottenham Hotspur Limited notes the recent announcements from the Firehawk and Mr Earick’s consortiums that they do not intend to make an offer for the Club. The Board thanks them for the constructive approach taken in discussions with the Club’s and the Lewis family’s representatives and respecting the clear position of the Lewis family that the Club is not for sale.”

According to Sky Sports, Tottenham have never been on the market, despite three separate expressions of interest in recent months. As some of the club’s shares remain privately held, the Takeover Code required all potential bidders to formally declare their intentions. Each has now confirmed they will not proceed, preventing any new approach for six months unless another party enters negotiations.

ENIC, Tottenham’s majority owners, had already “unequivocally rejected” two prior approaches, including one from Firehawk, led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng. A source close to the Lewis family told Sky Sports last month that the “unsolicited and unnecessary interest” would not alter their determination to drive success both on and off the pitch.

The decision closes the latest chapter in persistent ownership rumours and signals a renewed period of stability at Spurs.
