Brooklyn Earick ‘privileged’ as record Tottenham takeover pursuit concludes
Brooklyn Earick certainly was not messing around when it came to his plans to purchase Tottenham from the Lewis family.
The mega-rich American has money behind him and wanted to invest big in Spurs to make them a serious force on the world stage.
Earick’s takeover of Tottenham would be worth a record £4.5billion, which in turn would make Spurs the second-richest Premier League club behind Manchester United.
At the same time, some questioned whether Earick was the right man for Tottenham, even if he does have plenty of cash.
However, it has now been confirmed that Earick will not go forward with his Tottenham takeover attempt.
Brooklyn Earick sends message after failed Tottenham takeover attempt
Earick informed the Stock Exchange on Monday that he will not be going ahead with his takeover.
The former DJ has now posted a screenshot of the letter on his personal X account along with a message for supporters.
The tweet read: “It’s been a privilege engaging with Tottenham Hotspur and the Lewis family’s representatives over the past few months.
“I have great respect for the club, its leadership, and its supporters, and wish them nothing but success.”
Earick pulling out is another sign that Joe Lewis and his family have no desire to sell up their shares.
Daniel Levy exit sparks speculation of Tottenham sale
The shock departure of Daniel Levy as Tottenham chairman in September sparked speculation of Lewis selling up.
However, Lewis has reportedly made it clear that will not be happening, and so it has proved.
That is not to say another interested party, or parties, will not step forward, but for the time being the North London club remains in the hands of Lewis.
- Levy worked at the helm of Tottenham for 25 years
- Spurs won two trophies in that time – the League Cup in 2008 and the Europa League in 2025
- Levy was often hounded by fans for his negotiating style when it came to transfers
Tottenham are performing well on the field right now under Thomas Frank, which certainly helps matters, but a massive cash injection to take Spurs to the next level will always be welcome.
That is something supporters will certainly hope happens down the line, sooner rather than later.
