I did think why would Darren Eales would go crying to Mehrdad 😂 it's about time the truth was out, seems Amanda's living beyond her means borrowing from Tom, Dick and Harry but she was fantastic for the club and the fans fed off her enthusiasm
Thanks Amanda and Merdad you made it possible, ultimately PIF had no choice to remove them due to the cases and also the point that PCP were not investing any money post takeover was only PIF and the Reubens.
Whilst this makes for uncomfortable listening, I believe the report is right on the money regarding Amanda Staveley. She was a great ambassador for our club, but her financial situation could only have led to embarrassment to all concerned. Personally, I’d make her an honorary figure and welcome her to any future match she might want to attend. Do the right thing and be honourable.
Eddy this is true journalism putting facts before feelings. For anyone to slate you for being straight and honest despite your love for the club is beyond me. If only more journos had your integrity we would all be better off. Keep up the great work 👍

Hi Eddie, as a Newcastle fan myself I’m gutted for Amanda because she was absolutely passionate about our club and wanted nothing but success and glory for the city . It’s a shame her complicated finances destroyed her dream in the end . Let’s just hope the people shuffling for power at Newcastle don't mess up our pursuit of success. A great link as always Eddie mate and keep them coming.
As a millwall fan and spend a lot of time in Newcastle with my girlfriend, I have a soft spot for the toon, Amanda was amazing how she spearheaded the takeover from that scumbag Ashley, she only ever had nufc best interests at heart and I personally believe in my humble opinion darren ells is cut from the same cloth as Ashley
We’re fortunate the Restis case took until 2024 to arrive at the High Court. She has undoubtedly played an important role in the club’s history, but she is now history herself and we move on.
Amanda should be part of our Great Club, for she and husband where the drive in getting Newcastle up there with elite. Fans will always be grateful to them.
I watched that video and there was nowt wrong with it! People just don't like hearing the truth, especially when you're fond of that person and what she did for the club
Ya right Amanda and Mehrdad were the driving force pushing us forward and since her departure things have stalled… I’m confident this is short term. Up the mags
Honestly, iIcouldn't care less about all of this, she was the face of our club for a while, she was super positive and she helped get us to where we are now.
Cheers Eddy, thank you for keeping us updated. All very interesting. Amanda did breathe life back into our club. It’s a shame her financial status wasn’t all it seemed to be. From a pr standpoint she was brilliant
Yet another superb video Eddy. Regardless of anything else that's happened we fans owe this lady a lot for her sheer doggedness in overseeing the sale of the club, I would like to thank her for her work and for her passion in breathing life back into the Toon. We're where we are now in large part down to her and Mehrdad. I don't doubt she is heartbroken, and I wish them all the best in the future. Onwards and upwards as they say.
Great video again Eddy, this is where I get the real stories. I've wondered about lots of this, and you got slated for a previous video which I thought was bang on the money. This sheds so much light on everything. Cheers Eddy, love your channel.
I'd have Amanda back in a heartbeat, its not the same without her and no communication with the fans anymore. I get bad vibes from slippery Eales and Mitchell.
Excellent piece of work - the angle of the content you provide for people using this medium you take is unique and much appreciated. It was good to meet you, a year ago now, in Milan
Great video Eddie as always, love listening to them, I rarely believe anything that’s in the press, but your videos are truthful & as you said you deliver info after doing research, it’s nice to have someone down to earth who explains things simply & straightforward 👍
Eddie, this was a real passionate piece of journalism. Amanda Staveley did have a massive role in getting the PIF deal over the line and for that she will be remembered favourably. But there is a massive examination of Football club finances these days and any impropriety such as failing to repay loans was always going to be dealt with severley by a court. I dare say AS had to sell her remaining shares to either pay off her debts or to voluntarily distance herself from the club so as not to bring it into disrepute. Hopefully, the club will move on and concentrate on its objectives of regular top 4 finishes with European Champs league football. Keep up the good work on all things Tyneside.
I really like how Eddie is a proper journalist. It's all clickbait and speculation these days. Nice nice to see someone still doing things right by sticking to facts, giving minimal opinion and verifying information. Fair play Eddie
Thanks Eddie, this is a great video and it clearly took a lot of time and effort to put it together. I watched your original "Costa" video quite shortly after you released it and I do not understand the negative feedback. Having said that there are so many keyboard warriors online, I am afraid that it is no surprise. Please ignore them and keep up the great work.
watch all your videos, great content and im not a Newcastle fan but have a soft spot for Newcastle because although my first time there we lost badly, the Newcastle fans were absolute class with away fans, friendly passonate fans who love their club, great to see, look forward to coming back soon
Great video Eddie Everyone knows you love Newcastle Utd and only want the best for the club please keep doing your videos there always interesting and entertaining well done.
Cheers Eddie, an honest journalist is few an far between now and especially with a subject like this, it's a shame it couldn't be sorted quietly behind the walls of St James Park, but once it hits the high court it's public, I just feel Ashley would be loving this, like he's some kind of personal vendetta against the club, even though it made him a lot of money, hopefully we can move on without anymore issues, get back on track.
I always felt there was something going on as she had gone very quiet. It's very sad, but those are very serious sums of money. I can see her coming back in some shape of form in the future.. But not until she has her ducks in a row
Not sure why people are having a go at you mate I found this and last video very informative and stuff I had no clue about, thanks for clearing things up ❤
Mike Ashley loaned Staverely money, she didn’t pay it back, he took her to court, won and had to pay the loan back and interest and somehow that’s all Mike Ashley’s fault? 😂😂
Great explanation Eddie. I never believed the reason the club gave and was convinced it was because of the impending liquidation possibility. She will be sorely missed.
Debacle being spending big to urgently save us from relegation and then having to sell a couple of fringe / youth players for huge profits to keep our prized assets once no one activated Bruno’s (strategically drafted) release clause? Ok brains.
@@iainchiz17 Yes "brains", buying loads of really good players was fit for purpose when staring down relegation. You have might noticed that two seasons have passed since then, we are at a point of being financially stressed due to these nonsense PSR rules and must adapt accordingly or the prized assets will still be sold off.
@@thezyg6311 u do realise the FFP is based on a 3year rolling accounting period. Hence our high spend in first two windows were what caused the deficit? Brains.
@@iainchiz17 Yes, simple moving averages are not a problem. Still not sure why you are defending what was an absolute debacle, Gordon could have quite easily been sold, as could have Isak or Bruno, as someone had to go. This is not a sustainable position to be in, if Staveley was still here who knows how she would have reacted this Summer window.
Amanda is being linked with investment in Spurs. She has been in talks for a couple of weeks. If what you say is true then how is she in a position to be investing elsewhere with liquidation pending?
I haven’t expressed an opinion bud. Her financial collapse and liquidation of her company has been reported in the Financial Times and is on public record now. I put a copy up in the video. The liquidation isn’t pending, it’s happening. I suspect you’re reading rumours unless you can provide a verifiable reference to the Spurs discussions?
I suggested it was about her financial position when you released the original video Eddie you disagreed and said that’s not the case. Keep up the good work love the content
Erm, 🫤 😅 the video was literally about her leaving because of her impending financial difficulties. I even have two follow up posts on my channel community page going into more detail about her impending bankruptcy. They’re still there 👍🏻
Always speak your mind Eddie. You usually hit the nail on the head. As for Amanda, I too wish her the best for the future and already miss her morale boosting presence.
God she must of been so stressed but yet she never ever showed it. I miss her presence, she brought so much happiness to the club and seeing her watching the lads was just amazing. She is missed
A couple of points over the years I have learned in my Business life . 1) Follow the money: A lot of 'wealth' is built on debt and when that debt fails, it collapses like a house of cards. So while your analysis is disappointing, I am not surprised. 2) Ego frequently powers the Boardroom. Expect continuing 'stories' of Directors' fall outs, usually spread by the loser in these battles.
Totally agree with this. Countless examples in recent years, many of them driven by Private Equity money, but a good example would be the sad demise of Eddie Stobart Transport and its offshoots whose boardroom wrangles have made countless lawyers very rich over the last decade or more.
I’d seriously dispute we’re worth anything near £1bn and if after paying back Jamie Reuben for the loan, it’s clear she didn’t have enough funds to go past £1.6m in order to save her company from liquidation. She’s skint mate
@@TynesideLife That's football in general. There are a lot of people with some very murky financial histories and those who don't have the money they appear to.
Amanda left and now the team is in shambles, we just lost 3-1 to fullham, gordon uninterested, midfield lazy, isak not as prolific as last season. Everyone just lost heart and passion
It wasn't a great result but it hasn't affected the team. This was the same team that beat psg (bar a couple) We're just not firing on all cylinders atm but it will come
Very weird you defend her so much. She consistently borrows money, she consistently doesn’t pay it back, she consistently loses court cases as a result. She’s best off out of Newcastle United. You seem to have a short term memory of how well the Ashley era started and him sitting with fans and being hailed as the messiah. They’re more alike than you realise and Newcastle is better off without her
Those who follow my channel understand my stance on this. You’ve obviously just landed here and it’s quite clear you’re unaware of what she has and hasn’t done in terms of loans. I’ll come back to this. AS clearly deserves the accolades for ‘saving’ our club and breathing life into it. She’s gave us hope and put the soul back into it. I’ll forever be grateful for this due to her clear emotional investment in the club. On the other hand, I’ve voiced a few times her cavalier style in business terms. I see her as an opportunist, a risk taker and a hustler. In this very video I outlined her propensity to get into business difficulties and I level criticism for this. It’s this side of her that has cost her position with the club, which has temporarily destabilised it. Did you skip past this part? In regards her loans, you claim she ‘consistently’ doesn’t pay back business loans and ‘consistently’ loses court cases because of this. This is factually incorrect. It is only her latest case with Victor Restis that she hasn’t paid back a loan, but she disputed the terms of that loan with Restis, but of course she lost. Mike Ashley took her to court due to her breaching the terms and conditions, not because she wasn’t paying it back. There is no pattern, as you claim. I have a short memory over nothing Jim, but I do know I know far more and have a better understanding on this matter than yourself, based on your comment.
Best Newcastle RUclips journalist out there Eddie mate far better then all these wannabees that put out nothing but speculation click bait rubbish love your content number one for the north east and anything Newcastle 👊
No one, but no one invest money in a big cash cow like NUFC because they 'love' the club. They invest money to make more money and we are irrelevant. Once you accept this simple truth, everything else falls into place.
Just a quick question from a fellow RUclipsr (and Geordie) - Do you do these videos with an autocue to help? You seem to be able to speak incredibly well to the camera.
Hi mate, thank you and thanks for the question. No I don’t use an autocue. I find with my autism that I can’t just talk off the top of my head for minutes on end, my brain freezes quite quickly and I have to take a moment to reset it. I do plan and structure my videos and break them up into smaller component parts. I can then (roughly) rehearse the bit I want to say in smaller chunks. Sometimes I make bullet points on my phone, or take a minute between each segment to think about my next part. So, almost everything I say has been carefully considered and nuanced to make sure I articulate the point I want to make in as balanced way as I can. Hope that makes sense 👍🏻
All I can say is wow! From experience, having a few practice runs certainly helps, but even so, just wow. I do my videos in German, but even in English I still think I would struggle to keep a flow beyond a couple of sentences.
Yes, that account looks pretty convincing I have to say. In which case my respect and gratitude to Amanda Staveley is if anything increased. She took what steps she could to avoid dragging Newcastle's name through the mud. (It also avoided dragging PIF into it, too, of course, and she needs to maintain those relationships, but whatever the mix of motivations I wish her well; I hope she moves on from this and thrives (but preferably not with another Premier League club!)
Regarding Amanda Staveley, this reminds me of a comment made by a Newcastle fan a few years ago about Joey Barton. He can't be guilty of anything, he's playing so well.
From what I can remember Newcastle West collapsed financially, East bought them (including St James's, Wests land and their staff). Was a number of club names thought about like City and Rangers as far as I can remember reading, but they just happened to decide on United. As a matter of fact Wests colours have been used as an away kits colours many times (was the 1st kit I owned of the club as well, got both the home and away full kits, the away kits colours I am talking about (Wests) was dark/navy blue and kind of a deep darkened red).
Partially right Jeremy (Source: Paul Joannou - club historian). West End did financially collapse and East End moved to St James’ Park when they vacated in mid 1892. This land belongs to the Freemen of Newcastle and NCC(previously Newcastle Corporation) and still does today. East End salvaged some of their staff (about 5). East End already had away colours and that’s the first I’ve read about using West End kit? East End eventually decided to change name to United in Dec 1892 in an attempt to appease the West End population of Newcastle. The name wasn’t officially established by the league until 1895. So, Newcastle United were formed in 1881 as Stanley FC, who changed their name to Newcastle East End, who then moved to St James Park and then changed their name to United. 1882 is not the clubs foundation year. It’s the year of a name change and second ground change. I’ve done a dedicated video about the foundation story and you can find it on my channel 👍🏻
One more comment from me: It’s ironic that a fall out with Darren Eales was one of the reasons Amanda parted ways, especially since herself and Mehrdad were pivotal in getting him to the club in the first place? (I’m guessing they played a major role anyway)?
to me one of the disturbing things I got out this video, Amanda borrowed monies to invest in Newcastle. If you don't have the capital to begin with, maybe find another venture. Everyones sentiments about her love of the club is spot on, especially for the women club.
Cheers for all that information eddy, you can maybe put that video back up now because there was nothing wrong with it just a raw response which happened to be true great vids mate keep it up 👍
I seen her st the newcastle womens final match of the season. Shes a lush lass and even went around for photos with the fans. She was a spark for everyone and definitely cleared the skies of the ashley reign. We would all welcome her back eith open arms.
Yup, i said from the start that the driving factor behind Staveley leaving was gonna be her financial problems and the court case with Restis. The idea it was anything to do with personal clashes with the board or PSR spending was utterly mental to me.
I’ve got no doubt there have been clashes and she took the blame for the Anderson debacle, but that’s not a reason to leave. They’re just company glitches that get ironed out. Definitely her company collapsing caused her to leave 👍🏻
Please forgive my error in the video. I referred to Mehrdad Ghoodussi but meant Yasir Al Rumayyan🤪😬

Amanda left and now the team is in shambles, we just lost 3-1 to fullham, gordon uninterested, midfield lazy, isak not as prolific as last season. Everyone just lost heart and passion
It wasn't a great result but it hasn't affected the team. This was the same team that beat psg (bar a couple)
We're just not firing on all cylinders atm but it will come
Rome wasn't built in a day !!! Stay calm everything will be cushty soon
Very weird you defend her so much. She consistently borrows money, she consistently doesn’t pay it back, she consistently loses court cases as a result.
She’s best off out of Newcastle United.
You seem to have a short term memory of how well the Ashley era started and him sitting with fans and being hailed as the messiah. They’re more alike than you realise and Newcastle is better off without her
Those who follow my channel understand my stance on this. You’ve obviously just landed here and it’s quite clear you’re unaware of what she has and hasn’t done in terms of loans. I’ll come back to this.
AS clearly deserves the accolades for ‘saving’ our club and breathing life into it. She’s gave us hope and put the soul back into it. I’ll forever be grateful for this due to her clear emotional investment in the club.
On the other hand, I’ve voiced a few times her cavalier style in business terms. I see her as an opportunist, a risk taker and a hustler. In this very video I outlined her propensity to get into business difficulties and I level criticism for this. It’s this side of her that has cost her position with the club, which has temporarily destabilised it. Did you skip past this part?
In regards her loans, you claim she ‘consistently’ doesn’t pay back business loans and ‘consistently’ loses court cases because of this. This is factually incorrect.
It is only her latest case with Victor Restis that she hasn’t paid back a loan, but she disputed the terms of that loan with Restis, but of course she lost.
Mike Ashley took her to court due to her breaching the terms and conditions, not because she wasn’t paying it back. There is no pattern, as you claim.
I have a short memory over nothing Jim, but I do know I know far more and have a better understanding on this matter than yourself, based on your comment.
Best Newcastle RUclips journalist out there Eddie mate far better then all these wannabees that put out nothing but speculation click bait rubbish love your content number one for the north east and anything Newcastle 👊
Sh3 should have been on atleast 5 million for doing what she did bless her she was Newcastle United
Another great vid Eddie!
No one, but no one invest money in a big cash cow like NUFC because they 'love' the club. They invest money to make more money and we are irrelevant. Once you accept this simple truth, everything else falls into place.
She didn’t invest any money in the club. Once you understand this simple truth, everything else falls into place
If fans don't draw the line now, they will betray us again
Just a quick question from a fellow RUclipsr (and Geordie) - Do you do these videos with an autocue to help? You seem to be able to speak incredibly well to the camera.
Hi mate, thank you and thanks for the question. No I don’t use an autocue.
I find with my autism that I can’t just talk off the top of my head for minutes on end, my brain freezes quite quickly and I have to take a moment to reset it.
I do plan and structure my videos and break them up into smaller component parts. I can then (roughly) rehearse the bit I want to say in smaller chunks. Sometimes I make bullet points on my phone, or take a minute between each segment to think about my next part.
So, almost everything I say has been carefully considered and nuanced to make sure I articulate the point I want to make in as balanced way as I can.
Hope that makes sense 👍🏻
All I can say is wow! From experience, having a few practice runs certainly helps, but even so, just wow. I do my videos in German, but even in English I still think I would struggle to keep a flow beyond a couple of sentences.

This Amanda person is not the brightest by what you said 😂
I don't even support Newcastle but find your reporting amazing 😅
☝️👊🏻
Yes, that account looks pretty convincing I have to say. In which case my respect and gratitude to Amanda Staveley is if anything increased. She took what steps she could to avoid dragging Newcastle's name through the mud. (It also avoided dragging PIF into it, too, of course, and she needs to maintain those relationships, but whatever the mix of motivations I wish her well; I hope she moves on from this and thrives (but preferably not with another Premier League club!)
I always knew it was financial after the greek shipping magnate Victor "Tommy Devito" Restis story came out...
Loved Amanda so much passion for newcastle ithink it's such a waste of a fine lady
Yes I agree. She made us all feel better. Out on the pitch cheering the fans. The exact opposite to Ashley
Regarding Amanda Staveley, this reminds me of a comment made by a Newcastle fan a few years ago about Joey Barton.
He can't be guilty of anything, he's playing so well.
From what I can remember Newcastle West collapsed financially, East bought them (including St James's, Wests land and their staff). Was a number of club names thought about like City and Rangers as far as I can remember reading, but they just happened to decide on United. As a matter of fact Wests colours have been used as an away kits colours many times (was the 1st kit I owned of the club as well, got both the home and away full kits, the away kits colours I am talking about (Wests) was dark/navy blue and kind of a deep darkened red).
Partially right Jeremy (Source: Paul Joannou - club historian).
West End did financially collapse and East End moved to St James’ Park when they vacated in mid 1892. This land belongs to the Freemen of Newcastle and NCC(previously Newcastle Corporation) and still does today.
East End salvaged some of their staff (about 5). East End already had away colours and that’s the first I’ve read about using West End kit?
East End eventually decided to change name to United in Dec 1892 in an attempt to appease the West End population of Newcastle. The name wasn’t officially established by the league until 1895.
So, Newcastle United were formed in 1881 as Stanley FC, who changed their name to Newcastle East End, who then moved to St James Park and then changed their name to United. 1882 is not the clubs foundation year. It’s the year of a name change and second ground change.
I’ve done a dedicated video about the foundation story and you can find it on my channel 👍🏻
Very well said it’s nice to have proper info
One more comment from me:
It’s ironic that a fall out with Darren Eales was one of the reasons Amanda parted ways, especially since herself and Mehrdad were pivotal in getting him to the club in the first place?
(I’m guessing they played a major role anyway)?
to me one of the disturbing things I got out this video, Amanda borrowed monies to invest in Newcastle. If you don't have the capital to begin with, maybe find another venture. Everyones sentiments about her love of the club is spot on, especially for the women club.
Cheers for all that information eddy, you can maybe put that video back up now because there was nothing wrong with it just a raw response which happened to be true great vids mate keep it up 👍
"The stain of speculation" is a good way to put what's gone on at the Toon this season/summer
Great analysis as always. Don't let the bastards grind you down. Keep up the good work. God Bless Amanda.
I hooked in too. I was in I was invested. Sad for Amanda Stavely. I hope our club moves on to more happy days.
She gave us back ambition is a shame what’s gone on regarding stavley
If anyone has watched Ted Lasso, I liked to see the the comparisons of Amanda with Rebecca in the show
I seen her st the newcastle womens final match of the season. Shes a lush lass and even went around for photos with the fans. She was a spark for everyone and definitely cleared the skies of the ashley reign. We would all welcome her back eith open arms.
Yup, i said from the start that the driving factor behind Staveley leaving was gonna be her financial problems and the court case with Restis. The idea it was anything to do with personal clashes with the board or PSR spending was utterly mental to me.
I’ve got no doubt there have been clashes and she took the blame for the Anderson debacle, but that’s not a reason to leave. They’re just company glitches that get ironed out.
Definitely her company collapsing caused her to leave 👍🏻
