The key moments in Newcastle's uncertain summer

There is a constant misconception around Newcastle United that has perhaps been most pertinent during this summer transfer window.

While the presence of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund may give them the richest owners, that cannot translate into spending the most money. Understanding that offers important context for what has been a difficult, uncertain and at times fraught summer on Tyneside.

There have been changes to the ownership group, with Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi selling their joint stake in the club, a boardroom restructure and an extremely close-run avoidance of a profit and sustainability rules breach.
