Consortium Officially Withdraws Purchase Interest

A consortium spearheaded by American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick has formally retracted its proposal to acquire Tottenham Hotspur. Confirmation of this decision was released via the London Stock Exchange on Monday.

Lewis Family Maintains Firm Stance on Club Ownership

This development follows the categorical rejection by the Lewis family, who possess the majority shareholding in Tottenham, of any approach made by Earick’s group. Reports suggested that the consortium was prepared to submit a £4.5 billion offer on 26 September. With this withdrawal, the Lewis family reiterated their enduring commitment to the North London club and clarified once more that Tottenham is not on the market.

Board Statement and Recognition of Other Interests

In an official statement published on the London Stock Exchange, the Tottenham Hotspur Board extended appreciation to both Earick’s consortium and “Firehawk Holding” an Asia-based entity that had previously expressed interest. The Board acknowledged their “constructive approach in the discussions” and their respect for “the clear position of the Lewis family that the club is not for sale.”
