Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi, former co-owners of Newcastle United, are reportedly considering a bid to acquire West Ham United. Their investment firm, PCP Capital Partners, is said to be evaluating opportunities at several football clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, with West Ham emerging as a potential target after initial exploratory discussions.

Staveley, speaking in a recent interview with Spear’s Magazine, emphasized the duo’s interest in revitalizing sports brands that are not currently achieving their potential. She described their approach as focusing on turning around underperforming clubs by putting them on a successful trajectory.

The couple previously led the consortium that acquired Newcastle United in 2021. That deal involved the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia alongside brothers David and Simon Reuben. However, the Reuben brothers, who remain co-owners at Newcastle, are not associated with the current interest in West Ham.

West Ham’s existing ownership structure is led by David Sullivan, holding a 38.8 percent stake, and Daniel Kretinsky, who became the largest shareholder with 43 percent after acquiring shares previously held by Vanessa Gold. Gold inherited her shares from her late father, David Gold. Sullivan recently stepped down from his roles as joint-chairman and director amid the emergence of allegations concerning his personal conduct.

At this stage, discussions between PCP Capital Partners and West Ham’s ownership group are exploratory, with no formal offer announced. The potential takeover would represent a significant change for the London club, which has experienced fluctuating performances in recent years and is seeking stability and growth under its current leadership.
