Here’s what the press release says:
TRUSTEE OF DANIEL LEVY’S FAMILY TRUST AGREES SALE OF 24.99% STAKE IN TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR PARENT COMPANY

A quick look at Eight Sports Capital’s website gives a pretty boilerplate depiction of what the company actually does. Here’s its mission statement:
Operating since 2020, 8 SportCapital emerged with a clear mission: to revolutionize sports financing for organizations worldwide. We understand the challenges faced by sports entities in achieving financial stability and growth. That’s why we offer a comprehensive suite of financial solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Obviously that’s corporate gobbeldygook, but companies like this tend to exist for the sole purpose of owning shares of sports teams and franchises, so like… whatever?
It’s not a surprise that Levy would sell his shares in ENIC. It’s the only thing tying him to the club anymore, and despite at one point being Joe Lewis’ top lieutenant in his business operations, Lewis is retired now and his kids have decided to stick the knife in by organizing the palace coup that removed him as Chairman after 20 years in charge. That had to sting, and I were Daniel Levy I’d probably want to divest my shares in the company that ousted me too.
Anyway, The Imperial Empire of Levy will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Lewis Family has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
