Brooklyn Earick Rules Out Tottenham Hotspur Acquisition Offer Post-Initial Contact

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The former chairman managed Spurs' transition to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent years.

American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick has rejected submitting an official acquisition offer for Spurs.

Tottenham had previously “firmly declined” an unofficial approach from a consortium spearheaded by Brooklyn Earick last month and insisted the organization was off the market.

Yet the nation's corporate governance laws stipulated that, having had an informal proposal declined, the group needed to make an offer by 24 October or declare they would refrain.

Official word of the determination was provided in a release issued by Tottenham to the financial markets, confirming the organization is “ceased to be in an acquisition window.”

He posted an snapshot of the announcement on social media, stating: “It was a privilege engaging with the club and the owners' representatives over the past few months.

“I have high regard for the team, its executives, and its supporters, and desire nothing but success.”

Tottenham's directors thanked the group for its “constructive approach” in negotiations and for “acknowledging the definitive view” of the proprietors that the club is not for sale.

Brooklyn Earick is a former DJ who also served in spacecraft research for NASA before establishing Redacted RnD, which focuses on technology, media, sports and recreation.

His approach was the third approach rejected by the club's board since the abrupt resignation of executive chairman Daniel Levy in September.

On 8 September, the organization turned down proposals from previous club stakeholder the financier's PCP International Finance Limited and a group spearheaded by Dr Roger Kennedy and Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited.

The former chairman and his family control about 30% of Enic Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd – which has an almost 87% interest in the club.

He was the Premier League's top-tenured leader and is reported to have made in excess of fifty million pounds during his long tenure in the position.

Yet he was also the target of ongoing dissent by the club's followers, notably last campaign as Premier League performances proved below expectations.

Tottenham claimed their initial silverware in nearly two decades when they beat Manchester United in last season's European final.
