Earick Rules Out Tottenham Hotspur Buyout Proposal Post-Initial Contact
The former chairman directed Tottenham's transition to the state-of-the-art venue in 2019.
American tech entrepreneur the entrepreneur has ruled out submitting an official acquisition offer for the North London club.
Tottenham had previously “clearly turned down” an preliminary inquiry from a syndicate led by Brooklyn Earick last period and maintained the club was not for sale.
Yet the nation's corporate governance laws dictated that, having had an initial approach turned down, Earick's consortium were obligated to present a formal offer by 24 October or state they would not proceed.
Verification of the determination was made in a announcement made by the club to the London Stock Exchange, stating the organization is “no longer in an offer period.”
The entrepreneur published an picture of the announcement on digital channels, adding: “I've had a privilege engaging with the club and the owners' delegates over the past few months.
“I maintain deep admiration for the team, its management, and its fans, and desire only the best.”
Spurs' leadership acknowledged the group for its “positive engagement” in negotiations and for “honoring the firm stance” of the proprietors that the club is off the market.
Brooklyn Earick is a one-time music presenter who also worked in aerospace studies for NASA before founding his technology firm, which concentrates on technology, entertainment, sport and leisure.
The informal offer was the third inquiry turned down by the team's directors since the abrupt resignation of long-serving chairman the former chairman in the fall.
Earlier in September, the organization declined proposals from ex-Newcastle investor Staveley's PCP International and a consortium headed by Dr Roger Kennedy and Ng through the holding company.
Daniel Levy and his family control about 30% of the parent company – which has an nearly 87 percent shareholding in Spurs.
Levy was the Premier League's longest-serving chairman and is believed to have made more than £50m during his almost quarter of a century in the role.
Yet he was also the focus of ongoing dissent by Spurs fans, notably last season as home competition outcomes proved unsatisfactory.
Tottenham won their major honor in nearly two decades when they defeated Manchester United in last season's Europa League final.
