Brooklyn Earick Rules Out Tottenham Hotspur Acquisition Offer After Approach
The former chairman directed Spurs' move to the club's new home in 2019.
Innovative business leader Earick has dismissed submitting an official acquisition offer for Spurs.
Tottenham had previously “clearly turned down” an informal expression of interest from a investment group led by Brooklyn Earick last month and insisted the team was unavailable for purchase.
Yet the nation's corporate governance laws dictated that, having had an informal proposal declined, Earick's consortium had to submit a bid by late October or declare they would not proceed.
Official word of the determination was provided in a statement made by Spurs to the stock exchange, indicating the organization is “not in an acquisition window.”
Earick published an picture of the announcement on social media, remarking: “It was a honor interacting with the club and the Lewis family's delegates over the past few months.
“I hold high regard for the club, its leadership, and its supporters, and hope for only the best.”
Tottenham's directors thanked the consortium for its “cooperative stance” in negotiations and for “honoring the clear position” of the proprietors that the club is not for sale.
Brooklyn Earick is a former DJ who also worked in aerospace studies for the space agency before founding Redacted RnD, which specializes in innovation, communications, sports and leisure.
The informal offer was the third approach turned down by the organization's leadership since the abrupt resignation of long-serving chairman Levy in the fall.
Earlier in September, the club declined proposals from former Newcastle United shareholder the financier's PCP International Finance Limited and a consortium led by Roger Kennedy and the co-investor through Firehawk Holdings.
The former chairman and his relatives hold about thirty percent of Enic Holdings – which has an nearly 87 percent stake in the club.
Levy was the Premier League's longest-serving chairman and is reported to have received in excess of fifty million pounds during his long tenure in the capacity.
However he was also the target of ongoing dissent by Spurs fans, especially last campaign as Premier League performances were unsatisfactory.
The north London club secured their initial silverware in seventeen years when they beat United in last season's European final.
