Amanda Staveley calls on Government to 'intervene immediately' over failed £300m Newcastle takeover

Amanda Staveley had sent a scathing email to the Government slamming the Premier League ahead of legal proceedings over the failed £300m Newcastle takeover she headed-up.

The Saudi-backed bid caused a storm after agreeing a deal with Mike Ashley to purchase the Magpies in 2020, before the consortium pulled-out under scrutiny from the Premier League's owners and directors test.

Staveley and Co are determined to pull-off the handover, and have brought independent arbitration proceedings which are set to kick-off this month.
