Tottenham Owners Say No Formal Offer After Reported £4.5bn Bid From US Consortium

The owners say no formal approach has been received, a step that would be required under Takeover Code rules.

Overview

  • The Sun reports tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick is fronting a 12-member US group offering £3.3bn for ENIC’s stake plus £1.2bn for player spending.
  • PA, via the Shropshire Star, reports the Lewis family trust has not been made aware of any consortium ready to buy and reiterates the club is not for sale.
  • Because Spurs shares are publicly traded, any bona fide bid must be lodged with the UK Takeover Panel and disclosed on a strict timetable.
  • The tabloid report also cites plans for a large January transfer pot and a proposed £250m stadium naming-rights deal.
  • ENIC previously rejected interest from Amanda Staveley’s PCP and Firehawk Holdings as the club shifted leadership following Daniel Levy’s departure.
