Amanda Staveley Eyeing Another Premier League Gig, This Time at Tottenham Hotspur
Just days after leaving Newcastle United, Amanda Staveley is reportedly in talks to invest in a new Premier League club. The 51-year-old businesswoman, who helped orchestrate the Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle in 2021, is believed to be eyeing a minority stake in Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Bloomberg, Staveley has raised around £500 million ($649 million) through her investment fund PCP Capital Partners and is now considering using some of that cash to buy a stake in Spurs. It’s unclear who Staveley’s backers are, but she has reportedly already held initial discussions about the deal with Rothschild & Co, an adviser to the north London club.
Tottenham Hotspur have made significant progress off the pitch under the leadership of chairman Daniel Levy, who has built a state-of-the-art stadium and has a valuation of around £2.9 billion ($3.8 billion) including debt. However, the club still has some way to go to become regular Premier League and Champions League title challengers.
Staveley’s interest in Spurs is likely driven by the club’s potential for growth and success on the pitch. Last season, Ange Postecoglou led the team to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, and with some savvy investment and shrewd transfer business, the club could be primed for a serious title challenge in the near future.
While discussions are at an early stage, and there’s no guarantee that a deal will be done, Staveley’s interest in Spurs is certainly an exciting development for fans of the club. With her business acumen and experience in the football industry, she could be a valuable addition to the Spurs squad.
What’s Next for Staveley?
While Tottenham Hotspur appears to be the leading contender for Staveley’s investment, it’s worth noting that she’s also been linked with a potential stake in French club AS Monaco. Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain: Amanda Staveley is a force to be reckoned with in the world of football business.
