Club denies intent to be sold, dismisses two proposals for acquisition

Tottenham Hotspur, the renowned English football club, has been making headlines recently, with a mix of excitement and uncertainty surrounding its future.

In a historic victory, the team secured a spot in the Champions League last season by winning the Europa League in May. This success, however, has been overshadowed by recent developments off the pitch.

The sudden departure of long-time chairman Daniel Levy has caused a stir, with many questioning the club's direction moving forward. Despite the change at the helm, there are no plans for changes to the ownership or shareholder structure of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lewis family, who control the club's main shareholder ENIC, have reaffirmed their commitment to the club. Joe Lewis, the owner of ENIC, and his family see their involvement with Tottenham Hotspur as long-term and multi-generational. In fact, the family trust of the 88-year-old British billionaire Joe Lewis has been running ENIC since 2022.

Viv Lewis, Joe Lewis' daughter, and Nick, his son-in-law, may be seen more frequently around the club, indicating a desire to be more visible. Charlie Lewis, another member of the Lewis family, could also become more prominent in the club's affairs.

The Lewis family's intention to remain involved for future generations has been echoed by their statements. They have expressed a desire to be more involved in the day-to-day operations of the club, signalling a shift towards a more hands-on approach.

However, the club has not received any offers to acquire its interest in the club. This was reiterated by the board of Tottenham, which unequivocally rejected separate preliminary expressions of interest for proposals to acquire ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd.

Two groups that have shown preliminary interest in a possible takeover are PCP International Finance Limited, led by Amanda Staveley, and a consortium of investors led by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited. But it's important to note that no other specific individuals or groups have been mentioned in the search results as having shown interest in acquiring Tottenham Hotspur.

On the field, the club has seen some changes. Ange Postecoglou was replaced as manager despite the Europa League win, with Thomas Frank taking over. Frank has made a promising start, winning two out of his first three Premier League games.

In conclusion, while the departure of Daniel Levy has raised questions about Tottenham Hotspur's future, the Lewis family's commitment to the club and their desire for a more active role suggests a long-term vision for the club. The club itself has not received any offers to sell, and any potential takeovers would need to be approved by the Lewis family and the board of Tottenham.
