A consortium led by Amanda Staveley is in discussions to buy a 25% stake in West Ham, following the club’s relegation to the Championship. The potential investment could reshape the club’s ownership, as the group is reportedly open to acquiring additional shares and eventually becoming majority shareholders.

The consortium includes Staveley’s husband, Mehrdad Ghodoussi, and has secured global investment for a possible deal to purchase Vanessa Gold’s shareholding. David Sullivan and Daniel Kretinsky remain West Ham’s main shareholders; Sullivan stepped down as joint chairman in June after serious allegations of sexual exploitation, which he categorically denies, prompted regulator scrutiny.
