**Amanda Staveley and her consortium remain interested in West Ham United despite Everton being put up for sale, it’s been reported by ExWHUEmployee.**
Staveley’s name has been linked with a move for shares in the club for some time. With Everton now available, many fans might have expected her attention to switch elsewhere.
That doesn’t appear to be the case.
Speaking to The West Ham Way, ExWHUEmployee said:
“We understand that Amanda Staveley and her consortium’s interest is still very much in West Ham, this is despite the fact Everton have been made available for sale by their owners.
“It appears it’s a waiting game and a move for the club could be revisited at a later date, when a deal could potentially be struck.
“One thing is clear at this stage, Staveley’s name is still in the mix when it comes to a potential sale of those shares in the future.
“But in the short term nothing much is expected to happen and it’s a long waiting game.”
This is a story about the long term, not the next few weeks.
For fans hoping for a quick shake-up in the boardroom, it’s a reminder that these things rarely move fast. But it’s also encouraging that a serious, experienced investor still sees West Ham as an attractive option, even with the club in the Championship and another Premier League club on the market.
For now, the focus has to stay on the pitch, starting with Lincoln on Wednesday night. We’ll keep you updated on any developments.
