christ Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Her importance to getting the takeover done cannot be overstated. I hope the club make her life president, or there’s some gesture to recognise how pivotal her and Mehrdad have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Didn't expect it this summer but was always on the cards. I can't imagine they'll be going without a fanfare of some kind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Can’t thank her enough for the work involved with bringing PIF to the table and her tenacity to get the deal done. Totally agree with a few that she should have an ambassadorial role going forward. If not, I wish her well. PIF are clearly moving forward with a purely football centric approach with Mitchell and Eales spearheading things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 24 minutes ago, ponsaelius said: Is it? I'm pretty sure it has always been absolutely nailed on that she would sell her shares in the club. She is not rich enough to hold such a significant stake as the club grows - hence the gradual dilution of her stake even up to now. I'd imagine there's a pretty good chance she retains some kind of role going forward in the club even when she sells. Exactly. Stadium news upcoming, I wonder? Hopefully she stays in some capacity. Her and Mehrdad were superb, either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Also not surprised. I hope and assume that them leaving now is the best outcome for the pair of them. It's impossible to have total faith and trust in an owner - anyone who does so is asking for trouble. At the end of the day, it's big business. However, in their case, they've been absolutely sensational and as close to perfection as I could wish to hope for in the modern era. What those two individuals have done for this club cannot be understated. They leave as heroes as far as I'm concerned. Incredible that she'll have been at the club for less time than she spent trying to acquire it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottlob Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Count me among the ranks of the unsurprised and what's more this is a point of great excitement for me personally as all of the dreams I've ever had for the club begin to come to fruition. On the other hand does it seem to anyone else like the Saudis have done her dirty, after all those years she spent helping them enter polite society through the backdoor? The more I think of it the more I'm angered by it, but at least we've managed to keep Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 Massive love and respect to them both, classy people who have helped transform our club to the better both short and hopefully long term, i can't help but feel that this too is also a positive step and looking forward for the owners going forward to continue building what they started.

junkhead Posted July 10, 2024 Share Posted July 10, 2024 (edited) She did an amazing job for us. It was clear she doesn't have the finances to maintain the level of investment as a shareholder but I was hoping that she'd stay in a consultancy role of sorts... Thank you for everything Amanda and Mehrdad! Edited July 10, 2024 by junkhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
