The Premier League has now received written assurances that the Saudi state will avoid interfering with the running of the club and that only the PIF will be involved in Newcastle operations, alongside minority shareholders. Any breach of that undertaking could lead to directors being suspended.

 

The minority shareholders are set to be Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners, which will have a 10 per cent stake in the club, and the property developers Simon and David Reuben, who will have the other 10 per cent. Staveley is still expected to be given a role at the club, at least in the short term.

 

Initially, the new Newcastle board is expected to have only one Saudi director, the PIF’s governor, Yasir al-Rumayyan. Staveley and both Reuben brothers will also be board members.

Excellent avoiding of the question on Human Rights there, Greg.

He should have just said that whilst they have many failings at least everyone's house is insulated to an adequate standard in keeping with the climate unlike our country.

Your last sentence there is spot on mate. Lost my dad in March unexpectedly, even though he was a Millwall fan, he loved Newcastle and would be just as happy with this news, and seeing me enjoying this. Life is just too short, and we're well overdue some good times at the club.


Sorry for your loss mate. 
 

Yeah he was 9 months old when we last won the FA Cup and coming up to 14 when we won the Fairs Cup. 67 now and in ill health so if he gets to enjoy what he has left again while watching us then superb.

24 hours from never seeing Jeff Hendrick play again. 

Think he’ll still be around until end of season, we won’t be able to chop and change the squad too much

 

there is always a random player who comes decent under a different manager for a short run of games

I just need this officially announced too stop the nagging doubt of something going wrong 

 

Honestly think it's a done deal. The mainline anti/negative media twats from last year are even reporting it is, and they are the ones with the Premier League/BEIN sources.

I've got similar feelings, no announcement today and the negative vibes/meltdowns will be creeping in on here. 

 

Having said that, some of the reports are just far too specific to ignore... Early announcement please... For the sake of our sanity!
