Amanda Staveley & PCP Capital Partners could soon be kicking the tyres at West Ham about a possible investment.
Staveley sold 5.7% of Newcastle United last week and is said to want a new project in football.
According to Bloomberg, Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners have reportedly raised £500million to invest in football with several Premier League clubs being looked at. It is further claimed initial discussions have been held with Rothschild & Co. about taking a minority stake in Spurs, but experts have quickly poured cold water on that claim saying it would be difficult to assert any real influence over Daniel Levy.
Nine months ago, Vanessa Gold announced she was considering selling a proportion of the family’s 25% in West Ham with Rothschild & Co. acting as advisors. Buying a minority stake in West Ham could help Staveley & her firm broker a much larger deal in the future from within to make a potential takeover bid at a later date.
Just speculation at this stage and no inside knowledge but it would be strange if Staveley and PCP didn’t do some kind of due diligence in their review of the Premier League shares available.
Jesus Christ, she’s as bent as a nine bob note and it would be a total disaster if this woman got her dirty hands, and those of her crooked partners, anywhere near our club. The dodgy dealings and skulduggery she’s been involved in makes Sullivan look like Snow White.
RIP West Ham.
