Aug 1 : Vanessa Gold, daughter of former West Ham United chair David Gold, has reached an agreement to sell her family's shares to a consortium led by Amanda Staveley and others, after a previously agreed sale to Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky fell through.

The Gold family trust owns 25.1 per cent of the shares in the English Championship (second-tier) club who were relegated from the Premier League last season.

"I have now reached an agreement to sell my family's shareholding to a consortium of PCP Capital Partners, led by Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi, in partnership with Ashland Forest Capital Partners," Vanessa Gold said in a statement on Saturday.

"This sale remains subject to a pre-emption process, under which existing shareholders have the option to buy the shares instead.

"On the 12th June Daniel Kretinsky and I agreed a sale ... unfortunately, since that time the original deal and other alternatives that we have discussed could not be brought to fruition," Gold said.

The sentence states an evaluation in the narrator's voice instead of attributing it to a named source. The cue appears in attributed or quoted language, so its score is reduced.

Useful context, not penalties

Attributed claims 2
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

"I have now reached an agreement to sell my family's shareholding to a consortium of PCP Capital Partners, led by Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi, in partnership with Ashland Forest Capital Partners," Vanessa Gold said in a statement on Saturday.
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

"On the 12th June Daniel Kretinsky and I agreed a sale ... unfortunately, since that time the original deal and other alternatives that we have discussed could not be brought to fruition," Gold said.
Attributed framing cues 1
Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.

"On the 12th June Daniel Kretinsky and I agreed a sale ... unfortunately, since that time the original deal and other alternatives that we have discussed could not be brought to fruition," Gold said.
