Tottenham Hotspur has emphatically declared that the club is not for sale, rejecting two preliminary takeover bids from PCP International Finance Limited, led by Amanda Staveley, and a consortium headed by Dr. Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited, the club confirmed late Sunday.
The statement, issued by ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd, which holds an 86.5% stake, quashed speculation triggered by the abrupt exit of executive chairman Daniel Levy on September 4. ENIC, primarily owned by British billionaire Joe Lewis’s family trust, underscored its commitment to retaining ownership.
Levy, whose family holds about 30% of ENIC, stepped down after nearly 25 years, having earned over £50 million during his tenure, which saw Tottenham transform into a global brand with a state-of-the-art stadium but faced fan protests over trophy droughts.

The club, valued at up to £4 billion, appointed Vinai Venkatesham as CEO and Peter Charrington as non-executive chairman in April. Under UK Takeover Code Rule 2.6(a), PCP and the consortium must confirm by October 5, 2025, whether they will make a formal offer or withdraw, with the latter barring bids for six months.
Tottenham’s statement reaffirmed no changes to its ownership structure, focusing on long-term success after winning the Europa League in May 2025, securing Champions League qualification.
