Former Tottenham CEO calls for rich investor to buy out Daniel Levy
In a recent turn of events, former Tottenham CEO Claude Littner has urged Daniel Levy to sack Ange Postecoglou and sell Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur and the search for investment
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly attracting interest from several global consortiums, with speculation growing about a potential full takeover of the club.
Despite this, the North London outfit has so far only actively sought minority investors, a strategy aimed at bolstering their financial base to support first-team investment and infrastructure projects.
Earlier this season, reports emerged linking Amanda Staveley, the former Newcastle United co-owner, to a potential investment in Tottenham.
However, those discussions have since gone quiet, leaving the state of any potential deals uncertain as Tottenham navigates an increasingly competitive Premier League landscape.
Claude Littner’s call for a major overhaul
In a surprising turn of events, Claude Littner, the former CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, made a public statement on X (formerly Twitter) addressing the club’s future.
Responding to a fan who urged him to influence Daniel Levy and dismiss Ange Postecoglou, Littner offered a striking perspective on the club’s current state.
“I have no influence over Daniel. I believe he has the best interests of Spurs at heart. I would dismiss Ange. He is way out of his depth. Daniel is no fool & urgently needs a buyer with deep pockets to acquire the Club & invest in top players. The sooner, the better,” Littner posted.
Financial hurdles and long-term uncertainty
Recent developments suggest that Tottenham Hotspur’s ownership situation is far from resolved. It has been widely reported within the football finance industry that Tottenham has been quietly on the market for some time, with at least three private equity groups conducting due diligence.
While these groups have explored minority investments, they have also reportedly considered the possibility of a full takeover.
However, any sale will depend on meeting ENIC’s valuation of the club, which is believed to be £3.75 billion.
Industry insiders have described this figure as “optimistic,” suggesting that a sale might not materialise unless a buyer with substantial resources emerges.
The prospect of Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) acquiring Tottenham has also been floated, given their previous interest in the club, but there has been no concrete movement in that regard.
