Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has spoken on the decision to abandon plans of a Liverpool takeover in favour of the Magpies.
Staveley, CEO of PCP Capital Partners, has been a prominent figure at Newcastle since the takeover by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund in a £300m deal that also saw minority stakes for PCP and the Reuben brothers.
It was a deal that was mired in controversy and held up for more than a year until the green light was finally given by the Premier League and UK government in October 2021. The issue had centred on concerns over the links to the Saudi government, something that PIF had to prove had clear separation.
