The Lewis family want to have full control of Tottenham no matter what happens in the Premier League.
Tottenham are enduring a torrid spell at the moment, and it appears increasingly unlikely that the club will remain in the first division by the end of the season. The Lilywhites are yet to win a single league match since the turn of the year, going 14 consecutive Premier League games without a victory. As a result, the North Londoners find themselves two points adrift of safety in the relegation zone, with a real possibility of going down in six matches’ time.
Just ten months ago, Spurs were celebrating the end of their 17-year wait for a major trophy after winning the Europa League against all odds. It was a monumental moment for the club, as it finally felt like the Lilywhites were moving in the right direction. However, it is fair to say that things have gone downhill for the North Londoners since lifting European silverware under Ange Postecoglou.
The club has undergone several changes in recent months, yet there have been no clear signs of improvement in performances or results. The recent defeat against Sunderland further highlighted concerns that the players are not fully committed to fighting for the badge and may have already accepted the difficult situation they are in. The responsibility now lies with Roberto de Zerbi to steady the sinking ship at N17 and guide the North Londoners back to winning ways in the coming weeks.
Tottenham owners have no intentions to sell the club
Tottenham’s value has been steadily declining as the club continues to battle for survival in the Premier League this season. The Lilywhites have struggled to find form for an extended period, with their last league victory coming against Crystal Palace in December. This underlines how poor the performances have been under three different managers since then. There is a growing belief that the North Londoners could be relegated if they fail to turn things around soon.
Many fans are questioning whether the Lewis family will remain at N17 if the Lilywhites are relegated this season. They are seen by some as a key reason behind the club’s current predicament. False promises, a lack of investment in the squad, and questionable boardroom decisions have placed the majority shareholders of ENIC at odds with a significant section of the Spurs fanbase in recent years.

However, as per Matt Darlow (via The Daily Mail), the Lewis family have no intention of relinquishing control of Tottenham, even if the club is relegated from the Premier League this season. They are reportedly prepared to do everything possible to help the Lilywhites secure survival, allowing the North Londoners to eventually compete at the top end of the table again. The majority shareholders of ENIC are also said to be keen on making amends by showing intent in the summer and supporting Roberto de Zerbi in building a stronger squad for the future.
This is unlikely to be welcomed by many Spurs fans, who have grown frustrated with the Lewis family’s stewardship during this difficult period. There is a growing sentiment that the ENIC shareholders should consider selling their stake, allowing the club to reset and begin a new era at N17. For a club of Tottenham’s stature, the returns have fallen short while attempting to compete with their rivals. The perceived lack of clarity and ambition from the Lewis family is seen as a major factor behind the club’s decline this season.
Will the Lewis family eventually decide to sell their stake in Spurs in the coming months? It appears unlikely at this stage, but developments in the coming weeks could still influence their long-term future at the North London club.
