The Tottenham board firmly states that the club is “not for sale” after withdrawing from Amanda Starvely’s potential purchase bid. PCP International Finance, an investment group led by former Newcastle shareholder Stavely, confirmed its interest in potential moves Monday morning.
However, it also made it clear that it “is not going to make an offer to Tottenham.” Restrictions on the acquisition prohibit the company from making another offer to Premier League clubs within the next six months.
This development comes amid growing rumours of an imminent takeover, especially after the unexpected exit of longtime executive chairman Daniel Levy last week.
Levy is the longest serving chairman of the Premier League and has held his position for 24 years.
On Sunday evening, Tottenham’s board of directors allowed it to receive interest on the buyout from two political parties, but claimed there were no plans to sell it.
Enic Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd, the club’s majority shareholder, has revealed interest from the PCP and a consortium of investors led by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited.
The Tottenham board of directors announced that it had received and explicitly rejected another preliminary statement of interest in connection with the proposal to acquire everything that was issued and issued and acquire Enic’s share capital.”
The statement stated: “The Club and Enic’s board of directors confirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and that Enic is not intending to accept such offers to gain interest in the club.”
Lewis Family Trust controls Enic, which owns nearly 87% of Tottenham, but the remaining shares are publicly available, making the club eligible for the UK acquisition code. PA News Agency has learned that Lewis Family Trust is open to external investments.
However, after inviting Levy to secure “more victories, more victories” for Tottenham, the main focus of the majority owner will be to provide the necessary support to all Vinay Venkatesum, new executive chairman of manager Thomas Frank, Chairman Peter Charlington, who was appointed in 2025.
