The Tottenham Hotspur owners have released a short statement in response to the disappointing 2025/26 season that ultimately ended on a positive note with the club avoiding relegation to the Championship on the final day of the campaign.
A disastrous Premier League season, in which Spurs had three different head coaches, ended with a minuscule amount of positivity with the win over Everton ensuring the Lilywhites were not relegated from the top flight for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The Lewis Family, who own and run the club, have come in for plenty of criticism throughout not only this season, but previous seasons, with protests after the final whistle against Everton aimed at the ownership.
Lewis Family send clear message of intent
But in a message to the supporters, the Lewis Family have pledged their allegiance to the cause, stating they have no intention of selling the club.
The statement read: "To the fans. As owners of 25 years, we have lived the highs and lows of Spurs with you.
"Finishing 17th this and last season does not reflect the stature or potential of this football club. We are bitterly disappointed and share your frustration. You, and we, expect more than this. We know this must never happen again.
"Our approach to running the club is, and has been, to trust the experts to do that, while backing them to be successful. The problems we found were deeper than we realised and were allowed to build over the last few years. We know that has eroded trust and we have to win that back. As owners, we take ultimate responsibility for the situation in which the club finds itself.
"We also take responsibility for rebuilding Spurs. 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. That means football comes first. The Board and Executive team have laid out their plans to meet this ambition."
Lewis Family are planning for the future
The move was made, with seven games of the season to go, to sack interim head coach Igor Tudor and bring in Roberto De Zerbi on a permanent deal in the hope the Italian could save the club from relegation.
He duly did that, but he will now require the full backing of the baord to ensure such a season never happens again and that he can push Spurs up the Premier League table where they belong next season and beyond.
And the Lewises say they are committed to doing just that.
The statement continued: "This will require investment - in our teams, the academy, our backroom functions and more - and we are fully committed to this. We are not selling the club. We are all in. We are investing in it. You will see more of this in the coming months.
"We care deeply about Spurs. The rebuild the club needs, and you deserve, has begun. The change required is deep. It will take time and commitment, but change is happening.
"We know that actions will speak louder than words."
