PCP Capital Partners owner and finance broker Amanda Staveley is set to start a £1.6 billion legal battle with Barclays this week, and it has been claimed that she would have to put Newcastle United’s £300 million takeover bid aside. She is set to appear in court today, and while it’s not known if that will have any effect on the bid she is fronting, The Athletic’s George Caulkin believes that the fact that the legal battle will take a lot of her time isn’t ideal. Nevertheless, the journalist reckons it isn’t likely to have any say on Newcastle takeover as it is completely left to the Premier League to give the green light once they are ready.
