A consortium led by Amanda Staveley is set to purchase a 25.1% stake in West Ham from Vanessa Gold, daughter of former chairman David Gold. The agreement comes after a previous sale to Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky fell through. Vanessa Gold, who assisted in the Saudi consortium takeover of Newcastle, stated that the sale is subject to a pre-emption process, allowing current shareholders to purchase the shares instead.
The Gold family trust currently owns the 25.1% stake, which was previously held by Kretinsky. West Ham was relegated from the Premier League last season following their Europa Conference League victory in 2023. Staveley, Ghodoussi, and PCP Capital Partners bring extensive experience in leading successful football clubs, with Staveley having brokered a deal to buy out then-Newcastle owner Mike Ashley in 2021. Staveley, Ghodoussi, and PCP Capital Partners will oversee the club's return to the Premier League.
