Takeover Bids Rejected
The board of Tottenham Hotspur announced on Sunday, September 8, 2025, that its owner, ENIC Sports & Developments holdings Ltd, has “unequivocally rejected” two preliminary expressions of interest in the North London football club. The board further stated that Tottenham Hotspur is “not for sale.” The official proclamation came after the recent departure of long-serving executive chairman Daniel Levy sparked speculation about a potential takeover.
Details of Rejected Offers
The rejected bids came from two separate groups. One was submitted by PCP International Finance Limited, led by Amanda Staveley, a former shareholder of Newcastle United. The other offer originated from a consortium headed by Dr.Roger Kennedy and Wing-fai Ng through firehawk Holdings Limited. According to the club’s statement, ENIC has no intention of accepting any future offers to acquire its stake in the club.
Ownership Structure
ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd currently holds an approximately 87% stake in Tottenham Hotspur. UK businessman Joe Lewis and his family are the majority shareholders of ENIC, while Daniel Levy and his family control roughly 30% of ENIC’s shares.
Daniel Levy’s Tenure
Daniel Levy’s departure marked the end of his almost quarter-century as the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman. During his tenure, he is estimated to have earned over £50 million (approximately $67.5 million USD as of September 8, 2025). However, his leadership was also met with frequent protests from Tottenham Hotspur supporters, particularly during the previous season.
