BREAKING: As the project moves into a new phase, the stunning scandal involving Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley leaves Newcastle with a changed face.

Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi, the proprietors of Newcastle United, are scheduled to depart. The club will now present a new image, as the two have been the faces of the consortium for an extended period.

Amanda Staveley contemplated last year, “I have been thinking.” “What will be the legacy?” What will the Newcastle United of the future resemble?

We are about to discover the answer. This club will undergo a transformation following the announcement that Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi will depart after less than three years at St James’ Park.

Is it necessary to be surprised? Despite the fact that it was widely recognized that the original 10% stake of the part-owners had been progressively diluted as the PIF and Jamie Reuben invested in the club, the timing of their impending departure has still been a surprise. Actually, Staveley wrote about the ‘full of promise’ nature of the upcoming season just last week.

Newcastle will be eager to maintain this status, as recruitment efforts are currently being conducted in the background in anticipation of the players’ return for pre-season training. However, this information has still surprised them. It is not difficult to envision Newcastle continuing to function under Mike Ashley’s leadership in the absence of Staveley. However, Staveley’s persistence was so strong that the financier ultimately spent more time attempting to broker the transaction than she will spend sitting on the Newcastle board.

It was rather telling that Staveley and Ghodoussi never walked away after several takeover attempts, despite having previously considered other clubs, including Liverpool and other sports. A few months prior to the buy-out’s finalization, Staveley declared, “We will not surrender.” “We don’t ever give up.”

Those remarks remained pertinent when the consortium ultimately acquired a club that was in a state of disarray, occupying the 19th position in the table, in October 2021. You are aware of the subsequent events.

Eddie Howe was appointed by the ownership group after a failed attempt to recruit Unai Emery. He oversaw negotiations during the first transfer window, which was crucial in preventing Newcastle from suffering an agonizing relegation that would have significantly impacted the club. The demands were so severe that those at the top were operating on three or four hours of sleep at the time.

However, changes began to occur, both on and off the field, despite the fact that this rebirth was not without controversy, given Saudi Arabia’s dismal human rights record.

The foundation and women’s team were reinstated in the club’s core. Newcastle implemented a living wage policy. A number of employees received their first pay increase in many years. Rebuilding relationships with influential stakeholders in the city was achieved. Some much-needed investment was made in the stadium and training facility. The academy was once again abuzz with activity.
