Tottenham Hotspur have filed changes to its register of 'persons with significant control' which has got fans talking about owner Joe Lewis.
Documents filed by the club with Companies House on Friday became public on Sunday and showed that Joe Lewis, the 85-year-old owner of ENIC which owns the majority of shares in the Premier League club, was to no longer be shown as a 'person with significant control'. Instead two officers of the Lewis Family Trust have been appointed.
One is Bryan Antoine Glinton, given an address in the Bahamas on the forms, was filed as the first name of the 'individual person with significant control'. That notice signifies someone who "has the right to exercise significant influence or control over the activities of a trust, and the trustees of that trust, hold, directly or indirectly, more than 50% but less than 75% of the shares in the company".

Miami-born Glinton is a 55-year-old lawyer who specialises in corporate law and estate planning and he is a legal advisor to the Tavistock group, founded by Lewis, which owns ENIC and therefore Spurs.
The second officer named as a 'person of significant control' is 54-year-old British-born Katie Louise Booth, also with an address given in the Bahamas. A solicitor, Booth was described in a magazine article in Gateway - The Bahama's Financial Review as having "managed the consolidation, preservation and succession of some of the world's wealthiest entrepreneurs".
When asked about the changes by football.london, a club spokesman said: "Tottenham Hotspur Limited has filed changes to its register of persons with significant control (PSCs) following a reorganisation of the Lewis Family Trusts. The new PSCs of the Company are the officers of the family’s discretionary trust."
football.london understands that the move, which is simply a family trust restructure, does not change anything for Spurs on a day to day level as they have and continue to be owned by Joe Lewis and the family trust and run by chairman Daniel Levy.
