Businesswoman Amanda Staveley Is Raising Funds to Buy a Stake in Tottenham
The former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley is reportedly gathering funds with an eye towards investing in another Premier League club.
Her current focus is on Tottenham Hotspur, which is a club she believes holds significant appeal for external investors.
Staveley’s Ambitions for Tottenham
The 51-year-old businesswoman from Yorkshire has previously played a pivotal role in the sports investment scene including the high-profile LIV Golf’s PGA Tour talks.
With her investment fund business PCP Capital Partners, she has reportedly collected over £500 million considering making additional investments in the sport.
According to a recent Bloomberg report, Staveley might invest in a minority share of Tottenham Hotspur.
Staveley’s past experience as a co-owner at Newcastle United has equipped her with valuable insights into the dynamics of Premier League football clubs.
She is known for her hands-on approach and strong work ethic traits that she intends to bring to any new venture.

Potential Collaboration with Rothschild & Co.
Bloomberg also suggested that Rothschild & Co., who are an advisor to Tottenham Hotspur could be involved in the investment after ‘early negotiations’.
When asked by The Athletic about the possible investment in Spurs Staveley remained tight-lipped saying, “Not much, I’m afraid.”
However, she expressed her enduring love for Newcastle and its community highlighting her deep connection to the club despite moving on to other projects.
“I would have like to stay in Newcastle, but things don’t always turn out the way you want them to. Nothing is going to replicate that. I fell in love with Newcastle, the club and the people and that can’t change, but I didn’t want to get in Newcastle’s way. It’s got to be about what’s best for Newcastle.”
“Mehrdad and I are keen to be hands-on. We’re hard-working people, I love to be very busy and to engage and I love football. Very sadly, we have to move on to other projects and that might involve us taking a stake in another club or buying another club and that’s difficult. But it’s possible.”
“I don’t know what my future holds, but you can never move on from the love I have for Newcastle and I would love to come back for matches. I’m a Geordie now. I’m a Yorkshire Geordie, but I will always have that chemistry and that love.”
Staveley’s passion for football and her relentless drive make her a formidable figure in the sports investment world. While the future remains uncertain, her interest in Tottenham Hotspur signifies her continuous commitment to the sport and its development.
