Tottenham Hotspur Owners Reject Two Takeover Bids

Tottenham Hotspur's majority shareholder, ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd, controlled by billionaire Joe Lewis and his family, has unequivocally rejected two preliminary takeover bids from Amanda Staveley's PCP International Finance Limited and a consortium led by Dr. Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings. The club firmly stated it is not for sale following speculation fueled by the recent departure of longtime executive chairman Daniel Levy. ENIC, holding approximately 87% of the club, reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the current ownership structure and supporting the new leadership under CEO Vinai Venkatesham and Chairman Peter Charrington. Under UK Takeover Code rules, the interested parties must clarify by October 5, 2025, whether they intend to make a formal offer, but PCP International Finance has indicated it does not currently plan to submit a bid. The Lewis family trust hopes to end takeover rumors and focus on delivering success on the field, building on Spurs' recent qualification for the UEFA Champions League and the club's broader commercial growth. Despite Levy's exit sparking takeover speculation, Tottenham's ownership and shareholder structure remain unchanged.
