Dr Venkman Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 They’ll be here as long as they want. They’ve already stated that they won’t take a back seat once the CEO is in place because if they keep working as they are now the club can achieve more faster. PIF may have funded the majority of the sale but PCP made it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 They also did say that their role was temporary and would leave I am sure at some point. I imagine they want to stick around long enough to win something or until it gets tiresome and it is running itself mainly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 here is the full transcript of the interview. As you can see the media has picked out a part of transcript but left the closing part off (except BBC) https://www.newcastleworld.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/we-want-to-here-for-20-years-amanda-staveley-full-transcript-on-building-brand-newcastle-united-3596075 Im dont see what the hoo haw is about what she said, in her opinion its sad, not that its right or wrong, just she thinks its sad and probably not fair Would have been better if she hadn't said it as its given twitter something to shout.

Wandy Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I hope Amanda and Merhdad stick around indefinitely as I think they are great. And the more their prescence and comments wind up the southern-based journalists and rival fans the better it is. The whole concept of sportswashing is utter bullshit anyway, probably a slogan invented by a journalist trying to sound clever. These people do not give the slightest fuck about their image or what people think of their human rights record. With the oil slowly running out they simply want to own...or have their fingers in the pie of...as many Western assets as possible. It's all about securing their future economic power. That's it.

Rompe Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 3 hours ago, Awaymag said: Its not what we believe that matters. Its what PL and PIF have legally agreed to: you can't in one instance have PL say they have legal clarifications of separation and that PIF are the owners to then have PL bring in new conditions and then say actually we believe the Saudi state own NUFC. Any new rules can be run against existing Directors only and Saudi State is not a director of NUFC, the PIF chairman is. Well the PIF is "owned" by the Saudi state, and the Chairman of the PIF is the leader of Saudi-Arabia anyway, so does it really make a difference? If we are owned by the PIF then we are owned by bin Salman, and I doubt he would pass a test or check regarding human rights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, not going round this circle again on separation IMHO, it will never happen that PL change the rules of the director test in a way that would make PIF fail the test and have to sell its 80%. PL have shown, once you have bought, you're in! Edited March 3, 2022 by Awaymag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fantastic interview. Amanda really is everything Ashley wasn't. After a decade and a half of pure anguish, stagnation and embarrassment we are now all set for an unbelievable time of excitement, progress, ambition and, hopefully, success. Bring it on!

The Prophet Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 8 hours ago, HaydnNUFC said: I don't disagree (not in the way she means mind). State actors from the likes of the Saudi, Qatar, Russia shouldn't be allowed near football, but here we are because the governing bodies took the cash and turned a blind eye. Why is this any different to Saudi obliterating Yemen or Qatar using actual Slaves to build World Cup venues? You can't let known horrible cunts into the game and then get upset when they start behaving like horrible cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 What’s the chances of PIF being forced to sell as well ? Hence Staveley sticking up for Abramovich it’s seems there might be a crack down and we could be next the line ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 We are always going to have geopolitical issues. This world is never going to not have problems. It is hard and really sad that someone is going to have a football club taken away from them because of a relationship they may have with someone. I don't think that's particularly fair to be honest. But I also think we have to hold all of our relationships to account. It's a silly thing to say, but a lot of places conveniently cutting out the last sentence, suppose that part doesn't make it sound like she's a cunt.
