Amanda Staveley’s husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi insists he isn’t trying to string Newcastle fans along

Amanda Staveley’s husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi has congratulated Saudi Arabia and Qatar for the easing of a feud which could have ramifications for Newcastle United’s proposed takeover. Ghodoussi and Staveley have twice attempted to buy a stake in the Magpies, and agreed a deal in principle last year along with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and the Reuben brothers. However, the consortium walked away from the deal in the summer due to complications with the Premier League’s owner’s and director’s test.
