Guest Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 From earlier but whatever: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/11065449/amanda-staveley-considering-premier-league-takeover-of-one-of-three-clubs Amanda Staveley considering Premier League takeover of one of three clubs By Sky Sports News Last Updated: 03/10/17 1:01pm Private equity fund manager Amanda Staveley, who was spotted in the directors' box at Newcastle on Sunday, is currently considering the potential takeover of one of as many as three Premier League clubs. The 44-year old financial guru has built up contacts in boardrooms across the UK over the past decade and has made no secret of her interest in investing in the Premier League. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley was not at the Magpies' Super Sunday 1-1 draw with Liverpool at St James' Park, but it is understood Staveley met a number of Newcastle club officials and was impressed by the atmosphere created by the crowd of more than 52,000. Sky Sports News understands that neither Newcastle or Liverpool provided tickets for Staveley, who runs PCP Capital Partners, a fund with global assets of more than £28billion. At the weekend, SSN reported that Newcastle were in negotiations with a number of potential investors and had signed non-disclosure agreements with a number of potential investors. At this stage, it is understood Staveley is not working with any of these investors. She even bought her own ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pons Alias Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Rafa’s a control freak. Of course he was going to try this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Imagine how much love Rafa must have for us if he'd actually gone out of his way, gone way above and beyond his role as manager, and found a goddamn buyer to rid us of this Ashley nightmare. Instant God status. Then he sees the banner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 honestly if that caulkin thing is right and this bird has made contact i'm starting to believe tbh, i don't think someone like her makes that move without serious intent behind it...and presumably having done her homework on prices and such good christ imagine if we're rid of the cunt, no more shite direct all over everything and something to hope for for a change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 You don't rock up to SJP with the links she has if you're not interested in buying, she knew there would be rumours. I know Steve Wraith is about as popular as a mackem. But that flag did not get made because he sat near Amanda, apparently it's been around for weeks, he knows something. Genuinely don't think Rafa's involvement in our sale is a million miles from the truth. Wether Rafa approached investors or vice versa he came here for a reason & it wasn't to play football manager with Mike's measly budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Well if it's true, we're about to find out if the fat shit really does want to sell, or wont because he makes so much using us to sell his cheap tat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The dream is over... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41492254 Leeds’ new owner won his right to buy the club on appeal. I think it’s fair to say that anyone buying us would be unlikely to have been in those circumstances and will do their homework before making a bid, even if it did affect them then they could easily write the club down as being in someone else’s name or a groups name. Also how much legal right the EFL or Premier League have over anyone buying a club is dubious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ah man, sometimes...this club, makes you dream and hope again. My feeling on football today is based on how it's all going, we're going need to sizable investment to make sure we are on a sound footing again with a real/clear long-term plan in which we invest in every area of the club. We're lagging behind and Rafa is doing his best to try and chance as much as he can with limited funds. Back him full on and let him build the club he's always wanted to from top to bottom; imagine that we'd fucking win some trophies imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Rafa is one of the best managers in the world if you want to structure a club from the bottom up as he's so meticulous, professional and worldly experienced. Look at what he's already done here in terms of the fans, the training ground and the team even, punching above its weight and looking so organised and professional. Oh and give the man funds and he can build a team capable of winning anything. Dare we dream... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
