What Amanda Staveley is doing now five years after the Newcastle United takeover

Former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley is actively seeking a return to football club ownership following her departure from St James' Park in July 2024. After seeing bids to acquire Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United fall through, Staveley and husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi continue to evaluate new ownership opportunities while making frequent public appearances across industry events.

Staveley's consortium saw an offer for Spurs rejected by ENIC in late 2025, and a deal to acquire Vanessa Gold's 25 percent stake in West Ham was superseded when existing shareholder Daniel Kretinsky increased his ownership to 46 percent.
