Revealed: Amanda Staveley's 'ONE request of the Newcastle's board' before she and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi sold their six per cent stake in the Magpies

Newcastle United's now-departed minority owner, Amanda Staveley, has reportedly made one request of the board before leaving the club.

Staveley stepped down from the club's board last week, after selling her six per cent stake in the Magpies she shared with husband, businessman Mehrdad Ghodoussi.

The English businesswoman is the chief executive of PCP Capital Partners, one of the three consortium members alongside Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and the Reuben Brothers, which bought the club from Sports Direct tycoon, Mike Ashley, in 2021.

Along with husband Ghodoussi, Staveley took a 10 per cent stake in the club in the initial takeover, before reducing their share to six per cent – enabling Saudi PIF to increase their 80 per cent stake to 85 per cent.
