FUN88 send farewell message as Newcastle prepare to unveil new eight-figure-a-year shirt sponsor

FUN88 have bid farewell to Newcastle United as the Magpies prepare to announce the biggest sponsorship deal in the club's history.

Amanda Staveley previously cited FUN88 when the Newcastle part-owner talked about the 'very difficult' contracts the hierarchy inherited from the Ashley era, which were 'very much one way'. Newcastle, as a result, were 'limited as to how we could drive commercial revenues'.

However, Newcastle did manage to reach an agreement with FUN88 to end the partnership a year early, which has enabled the club to go to market. Now, with Champions League qualification assured, Newcastle are expected to announce a new front of shirt deal worth up to £25m-a-year.
