Former Newcastle co-owners explore West Ham takeover discussions

Summary

Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi, former co-owners of Newcastle United, are reportedly in talks to purchase West Ham United following their departure from Newcastle. Their investment firm, PCP Capital Partners, is exploring several Premier League clubs, having previously looked at Tottenham. Staveley indicated an interest in rehabilitating a struggling club, highlighting that few teams present such rebuilding opportunities. West Ham, relegated on the final day of last season, is now on their radar. Both Staveley and Ghodoussi were instrumental in Newcastle's takeover in 2021, which saw the team rise to the Champions League within a year and win the Carabao Cup shortly thereafter.
