Tottenham chairman Levy rubbishes claims of planned club sale

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy insists there's no plans to sell the club.

Levy has denied there is any secret plan to sell the club if they move to the site of the Olympic Stadium.

The Guardian says there has been rumoured interest from Qatar, while others believe the US giant AEG, the O2 operator that is partnering Tottenham in the scheme, would like to buy the club once the move is complete.

"There is no truth whatsoever in any form of conversation with anybody about selling the club," Levy said. "No one gives guarantees on the future. We're a public company with 30,000 shareholders. I can never give an undertaking that [majority owner] Joe Lewis, myself or Harry Redknapp will be here in two years or 10 years.

"But we haven't put this amount of effort into building up Tottenham with the intention of moving it on to someone else. We want to see this project through."
