Despite failing in his attempt to acquire Tottenham Hotspur, Brooklyn Earick has now reached out with a message to the club’s ownership group.
Tottenham Hotspur have long made it clear that the club is not for sale, with the Lewis family standing firm on their position despite repeated approaches from interested investors over the years.
The most recent of those came from a consortium led by Earick, who had been prepared to table a world-record bid to take control of Spurs.
The group, however, has since confirmed that they will not be making any formal offer, bringing another potential takeover to an end.
Tottenham, in turn, acknowledged the consortium’s stance, sending their own statement to address the situation as speculation over the club’s ownership continues to swirl.
