Amanda Staveley speaks to the media after confirmed Newcastle takeover
There is a 'darkened' mood around Newcastle United amid uncertainty over Steve Bruce's future as manager, according to reports. Bruce is expected to be relieved of his duties after Mike Ashley sold Newcastle last week, but he continues to lead training ahead of Sunday's game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Last Thursday, a Saudi Arabian-backed consortium fronted by Amanda Staveley completed the £305million takeover at St James' Park.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) owns 80 per cent of the club, with Staveley equally splitting the remaining 20 per cent with the Reuben brothers.
The PIF's assets worth £250billion make Newcastle one of the wealthiest clubs in world football, and significant changes are expected on the back of their arrival.
One should see Bruce leave the club and be succeeded by a manager with a trophy-winning pedigree ahead of substantial backing in the transfer market.
