The Lewis family has pledged to rebuild trust with Tottenham supporters and insists it is “all in” to deliver meaningful change at the club.
The statement follows back-to-back 17th-place Premier League finishes that have left fans deeply frustrated with the ownership group.
A Roberto De Zerbi-inspired Spurs side secured a 1-0 home win against Everton on the final day of the season to avoid relegation by just two points.
The club went through three head coaches during the campaign, adding to the turbulence that has defined a deeply troubled period in Tottenham’s recent history.
Fans have repeatedly directed anger at majority owners ENIC, which is run by the Lewis family, as well as chief executive Vinai Venkatesham following 12 months of enormous upheaval.
Long-serving chairman Daniel Levy was invited to step down in September after the Lewis family commissioned an extensive review into the club at the start of 2025.
Levy had been the key decision-maker at Spurs for almost a quarter of a century, despite ENIC holding majority ownership throughout that period.
In a letter to supporters, the Lewis family acknowledged they were “bitterly disappointed” with recent seasons and accepted ultimate responsibility for the current situation.
“Finishing 17th this and last season does not reflect the stature or potential of this football club,” the statement to Press Association read. “We are bitterly disappointed and share your frustration.”
“The problems we found were deeper than we realised and were allowed to build over the last few years,” the statement continued. “We know that has eroded trust and we have to win that back.”
The family confirmed that rebuilding Spurs is now the central focus, with investment pledged across multiple areas of the club’s operations going forward.
“Our ambition is to recapture the spirit of the club and bring back the excitement, the fearlessness and the bold football we have always felt defined us,” the statement added.
The Lewis family was emphatic in dismissing any suggestion that the club could be sold, stating plainly: “We are not selling the club. We are all in. We are investing in it.”
Investment was promised across the playing squad, the academy, and backroom functions, with the family insisting further announcements would follow in the coming months.
The statement closed with a clear acknowledgement that words alone would not satisfy supporters, with the family writing: “We know that actions will speak louder than words.”
