BROOKLYN Earick has withdrawn his £4.5billion Spurs takeover bid – after the Lewis family made it clear they would not sell under ANY conditions.
Sun Sport exclusively revealed how former DJ Earick, 41, had compiled a 12-strong US consortium to finance his world record bid.
Brooklyn Earick has ended his Tottenham takeover bid
Owner Joe Lewis and his family do not plan on selling the club
Earick was offering £3.3bn for the club plus a further £1.2bn in funds for transfers, wages and agents fees.
Despite current owners ENIC and the Lewis family having “unequivocally rejected” the initial offer – confirmed by the club via a Stock Exchange statement – detailed discussions between the two sides took place last week.
But after it was made clear that a sale was simply not on the cards under any circumstances – with the Lewises determined to show a long-term commitment to moving the club on – it was agreed that Earick would formally withdraw his offer.
That was confirmed by a Stock Exchange statement, which referred to the initial bid offer made last month.
It said: “Further to the announcement made by the Board of Tottenham Hotspur Limited on 26 September 2025, Mr Brooklyn Earick confirms that he does not intend to make a firm offer for the Company.
“Accordingly, Mr Brooklyn Earick and any person(s) currently acting in concert with him will, except with the consent of the Takeover Panel, be bound by the restrictions set out in Rule 2.8 of the Code.”
Sun Sport understands that Earick was involved in significant conversations with Douglas Armstrong, the Lewis family’s legal counsel.
The agreement does not rule out a future bid with the Stock exchange adding: “Mr Brooklyn Earick and the Consortium also reserve the right to acquire shares of the Company, subject to, and in accordance with, the Code and other applicable regulations.”
Interest in buying Tottenham has spiked following at the beginning of September.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
