Talk of Newcastle United co-owners looking closely into the idea of multi-club model rumbles on following Amanda Staveley's comments at the recent Financial Times' Business of Football Summit.
The Ripon financier stated that Newcastle were "looking in" to the idea of emulating Manchester City and having partnerships with clubs around the globe. Man City's long list of partners includes New York City, Melbourne City, Yokohama F. Marinos, Montevideo City Torque, Girona FC, Sichuan Jiuniu and Mumbai City FC.
A report in Bloomberg this week stated that Newcastle's co-owners had held discussions with 777 Partners. The Miami-based investment platform have Genoa of Serie A and La Liga's Seville already within their portfolio as "brands" as well as Melbourne Victory and Standard Liège in Belgium.
