Brooklyn Earick has confirmed to the London Stock Exchange that he and his consortium does not intend to make a firm offer for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tech entrepreneur Earick, who failed earlier this year in a bid to acquire Formula E team Maserati, was fronting the £3.3billion takeover approach from a 12-strong group from the USA including NFL and NBA investors, with a further £1.2billion reportedly set aside as transfer funds for head coach Thomas Frank.
However, after plenty of social media posts surrounding the subject, a statement was lodged with the stock exchange on Monday which read: "Further to the announcement made by the Board of Tottenham Hotspur Limited on 26 September 2025 regarding an informal expression of interest in relation to a proposal to acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of the company, Mr Brooklyn Earick confirms that he does not intend to make a firm offer for the company."
The update follows on from the news last week that the Asia-based consortium of investors led by Firehawk Holdings Limited has also confirmed that they would not be bidding for a takeover of Tottenham.
Early last month Spurs announced that they had "received, and unequivocally rejected, separate preliminary expressions of interest in relation to proposals to acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of ENIC from PCP International Finance Limited and a consortium of investors led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited".
PCP soon confirmed that they would not be following up with a bid and on Friday, the Asia-based consortium led by Firehawk did the same.
Spurs rejected Earick's informal approach and now he has completed the hat-trick of those pulling out from making any formal offer.
"The board of the club and ENIC reconfirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC is not looking to sell its stake in the club," said Spurs in a statement last week.
Both head coach Frank and CEO Vinai Venkatesham have also reiterated that the Lewis family in charge of Spurs have no intention of selling and a source close to the family told football.london at the time of Earick's interest: "This unsolicited and unnecessary interest does nothing to change the family’s resolve and commitment to do whatever it takes to drive success on the pitch. The club is not for sale."
