Earick Rejects Spurs Acquisition Offer Following Expression of Interest

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Daniel Levy oversaw Spurs' transition to the state-of-the-art venue in recent years.

American tech entrepreneur the entrepreneur has rejected launching a buyout proposal for Tottenham.

Tottenham had before “unequivocally rejected” an informal expression of interest from a syndicate led by Brooklyn Earick last month and stated the team was not for sale.

Yet the nation's corporate governance laws dictated that, after an informal proposal rejected, the group were obligated to present a formal offer by 24 October or announce they would not do so.

Verification of the determination was made in a statement released by Spurs to the stock exchange, indicating the club is “no longer in an acquisition window.”

The entrepreneur shared an snapshot of the announcement on digital channels, stating: “It was a pleasure engaging with the club and the owners' representatives over the past few weeks.

“I have high regard for the organization, its management, and its followers, and hope for nothing but success.”

Tottenham's directors thanked the group for its “positive engagement” in discussions and for “honoring the definitive view” of the proprietors that the club is not for sale.

The entrepreneur is a one-time music presenter who also served in aerospace studies for the space agency before establishing the innovation company, which concentrates on technology, entertainment, sports and recreation.

His approach was the latest expression of interest rejected by the organization's leadership since the abrupt resignation of top executive the former chairman in the fall.

Earlier in September, the team rejected approaches from ex-Newcastle investor Staveley's the investment firm and a group headed by Dr Roger Kennedy and Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited.

Levy and his family own about a significant stake of Enic Holdings – which has an majority interest in Tottenham.

The executive was the Premier League's longest-serving chairman and is estimated to have made over £50 million during his nearly 25 years in the role.

But he was also the focus of frequent demonstrations by the club's followers, particularly last season as domestic league results turned out unsatisfactory.

Spurs won their initial silverware in 17 years when they defeated the Red Devils in May's European final.
