Amanda Staveley admits she may have to dilute her stake in Newcastle United if other owners in the Saudi-backed consortium want to invest more money into the resurgent Magpies

Amanda Staveley says she may have to dilute her stake in Newcastle United if other owners want to invest more money into the club.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund owns a majority 80-per-cent share with the Reuben family and Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners each holding a 10-per-cent stake.

The consortium - who bought the club for £305million from Mike Ashley in October - have operated on a pro-rata basis of finance so far and they injected funds ahead of the January transfer window.

Staveley, speaking at the Financial Times' Business of Football Summit, was asked what would happen to her stake if the Saudis wanted to ramp up investment.
