Tottenham firmly reject takeover bids, insist club is not for sale

The North London side confirmed on Monday that it had "unequivocally" turned down offers from PCP International Finance Limited, led by Amanda Staveley —former co-owner of Newcastle United—, and a consortium headed by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited.

"The club's board and ENIC confirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and that ENIC has no intention of accepting any offer to acquire its stake," the official statement read, authorised by non-executive chairman Peter Charrington.

ENIC Sports & Development Holdings Ltd, majority shareholder since 2001, controls 86.58% of Tottenham's shares.

UK Takeover Code regulations mean that any purchase of the majority stake would require a public offer for 100% of the shares, including those held by minority investors. Interested parties have until 5 October to either make a firm proposal or withdraw.

Tottenham stressed that, despite the recent departure of long-serving chief executive Daniel Levy, the club's ownership structure remains unchanged. ENIC reiterated its commitment to retaining control, leaving no doubt that the club is not for sale.
