Newcastle United's upcoming Amazon Prime documentary is set to focus on co-owner Amanda Staveley's incredible turnaround behind the scenes at St James' Park.
In it, the four-part series will go behind the scenes in the club's boardroom with Staveley and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi giving producers and viewers an incredible insight to the work carried out since the takeover went through in October 2021. Before the takeover was completed, the boardroom was described by insiders as "pretty much an empty shell" with Mike Ashley usually absent and the club ran on a day-to-day basis by former managing director Lee Charnley and the Sports Direct magnate's close associate Justin Barnes.
But now Staveley has ensured that there is strong representation from the board at every game. Toon supremo Yasir Al-Rumayyan regularly takes his seat in the stands at St James' Park but Staveley, Ghodoussi, Jamie Reuben, Darren Eales and Dan Ashworth provide the club with real executive backbone.
