Tottenham Ownership Stable as Brooklyn Earick Withdraws Takeover Plans

Brooklyn Earick, an American tech entrepreneur, has formally withdrawn his £4.5 billion bid to acquire Tottenham Hotspur after the Lewis family, the club's majority owners, reaffirmed that the club is not for sale. Despite his consortium's advanced talks and informal expression of interest, Tottenham's board and the Lewis family consistently rejected takeover offers, emphasizing their commitment to retaining long-term control and driving success at the club. UK takeover rules required Earick to either make a formal bid or announce his intention not to proceed by a set deadline, which he did, officially ending speculation. This marks the third rejected approach following prior bids from other groups, reinforcing a period of ownership stability following the recent departure of executive chairman Daniel Levy. Earick expressed respect for the club and its leadership in his withdrawal statement. The club board acknowledged the consortium's constructive engagement but reiterated that Tottenham remains off the market.
