Simon Jordan ‘amazed’ after Tottenham takeover rumour involving Amanda Staveley
Eyebrows were raised when Amanda Staveley decided to sell her stake in Newcastle United and abandon their long-term project.
The British millionaire said she was “” that she and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi sold their stake in Newcastle.
Amanda Staveley helped to broker the £305million takeover of Newcastle in 2021 and she spent three years on the board with a 10 percent stake in the club – later lowered to six percent.
Just weeks after leaving St James’ Park, Staveley has shown an interest in investing in Tottenham. Her sale of the shares in Newcastle is believed to have raised around £500million.
Staveley is reportedly eyeing a 25 percent stake in Tottenham for £650million with ‘serious money’ backing her from her connections to Saudi Arabia.
Simon Jordan reacts to £600m Tottenham takeover rumour
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has repeatedly insisted that the club is open to investment having held talks with potential investors in April.
But Simon Jordan has cast doubt on a £600million investment deal, suggesting that it does not match the valuation of the North London club.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan said “It is not beyond the wit of man to believe that if someone was going to make a very substantial offer to buy a proportion of the football club, and that money can be redeployed to advance the football club – then it could be considered.
“But I’d be surprised, and I’d be amazed if they can buy Tottenham – or 25 percent of it – for £600million.
“I don’t see that happening. But, who knows? Depends what they think that £600million could be worth.”
