As we know Ms. Amanda Staveley was devastated the Newcastle takeover was not successful.
And of course, some male journalists – like Simon Jordan as one example – have blasted Ms. Staveley for showing her emotions in public.
Shame on them – and pity for them.
Amanda gave an interview to the Athletic and George Caulkin, and in the interview, she appears to hope the deal can be resurrected.
She reveals just how difficult the Premier League made it for them as they got them to jump through so many hoops and never did OK the deal.
They never turned it down other, that’s because they are wimps and not willing to stand up to their responsibilities when things get tough.
When things get tough the tough get going (and wimps rush for cover).
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
“I hope the fans realize what’s happened, that this is a lot more complicated than it might seem.”
“I want them to understand the whole thing about the directorship, that it would be impossible for a state to become a director.”
“The Premier League made it so hard. It would be unprecedented. No country has ever become a director of a club. It’s ridiculous.”
“They were saying ‘you know what, we won’t reject you, but we won’t approve you either, so we’ll just sit here for month after month’.”
“They could have told us all this before we exchanged.”
“It’s up to the fans now.”
“Because if the fans want this back on then they’re going to have to go to the Premier League and say this isn’t fair.”
So there you have it – Amanda is asking fans to question the Premier League on what the heck they have been doing for four months and then never make a decision.
It’s unfair alright.
The Premier League have literally snubbed Newcastle United, one of their member clubs.
Comments welcome.

Comment #42Northumbrian @ 2, exactly what I suggested a few weeks ago! Glad someone is seeing the benefit of this to change the dynamic. As I suggested both the Reuben Bro and Mandy could be fronted the money or use their own until after the deal is done, it solves ALL the problems. Then at a mutually agreed time the Saudis could strategically reimburse the other two partners. Is this not what TFCB did to buy us in the first place, buy it in stages?
We all need to sign the petition, no question, and share its links all over!
I would also suggest that someone who is good at litigation, there must be some solicitor on the forum or someone who is good with pros, to make a draft message that we can copy and email our respective M.P’s about this matter! Let us show we will not take this $h!t lying down, we will fight this all the way, Masters has to be held accountable for this injustice. Do not forget that its not just the club that will/is suffering, its the knock on effect our area will suffer from not being funded by the Saudis. I look forward to someone formulating a message so we can ALL contact our M.P’s about or club, and every family member should get involved, we need justice on this shambles of a governing body known as the Premier League, its a disgrace to be associated with them!

Comment #44Am I the only person who thinks its GOOD that this deal didn’t go through? I love Newcastle United and it would’ve made me sick if the team was owned by the Saudi’s. MBS is a murderer and runs one of the most oppressive governments in the world. I’m HAPPY this deal didn’t go through. hopefully not Mike Ashley can sell to someone who ISN’T a criminal who kidnaps and murders people

Comment #45@The Crown Princes Nashers
you are insane to believe such nonsense. I know doctors and nurses who are working with COVID patients. 150k have died in America and you think its a scam? there were so many dead bodies in NYC they have to store some of them in morgue vans and air conditioned trucks… I know someone personally who’s died of the virus and you call it a scam? people like you are ruining this world
