🔗 Share this article Brooklyn Earick Rejects Spurs Takeover Bid Post-Initial Contact The former chairman directed Spurs' transition to the state-of-the-art venue in recent years. US technology mogul Brooklyn Earick has rejected launching a buyout proposal for the North London club. The club had earlier “unequivocally rejected” an preliminary inquiry from a investment group spearheaded by the American last month and stated the club was unavailable for purchase. But UK takeover and merger rules required that, having had an informal proposal rejected, the group had to submit a bid by the October deadline or announce they would not do so. Verification of the choice was provided in a statement released by the club to the stock exchange, stating the team is “not in an offer period.” He published an picture of the announcement on digital channels, remarking: “It's been a pleasure interacting with Tottenham Hotspur and the owners' agents over the past few months. “I have high regard for the team, its leadership, and its followers, and hope for only the best.” The club's board expressed gratitude to the consortium for its “constructive approach” in discussions and for “honoring the firm stance” of the shareholders that the team is unavailable. Earick is a former DJ who also served in space technology for the space agency before founding his technology firm, which concentrates on innovation, media, sports and entertainment. The informal offer was the third approach declined by the team's directors since the unexpected exit of executive chairman Daniel Levy in the fall. Earlier in September, the organization declined offers from previous club stakeholder the financier's PCP International and a group headed by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited. The former chairman and his relatives control about 30% of Enic Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd – which has an nearly 87 percent interest in Spurs. The executive was the Premier League's longest-serving chairman and is reported to have earned more than £50m during his long tenure in the capacity. Yet he was also the target of ongoing dissent by the club's followers, notably last campaign as Premier League performances were unsatisfactory. The north London club won their initial silverware in nearly two decades when they beat United in May's Europa League final. Connected Themes English top division The North London club Soccer
