Amanda was a very good face for the club and the fans liked her - she had the likeability factor didn’t she. According to sky the PIF are buying the extra 6% of shares which could be worth £50m which is a nice return for Amanda and her husband. Looks to me like the club is in good hands with a good structure and they’ve left it in a good place to move forward.

[@Bigman.59]

😢gonna miss both of them they have both brought the club and fans together again ❤

[@davidknight2104]

Might be due to Amandas health, it is a stressful job but either way they go with all our love and respect ❤

[@NovakG]

I’m only a very recent fan of football in general. After watching the series on Prime, Amanda was the reason I started following NUFC. Just seeing how MUCH she cared about the club, the boys and the fans really made me feel that this is a community, more than a football club. It’s something that you rarely see from owners of any company. I’m sure this is one of her toughest decisions she’s ever made, but we’re so much better for just having Amanda standing and fighting for NUFC.

[@Bigman.59]

I hope they both turn up occasionally at St James to watch the TOON, Thanks 🎉 Amanda ❤

[@hazbohogg2234]

It’s sad to see her go as she gived us our club back but I wish her all the best from the bottom of my heart good work TTR keep up the good work

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

Amanda is a deal maker, she did the impossible then built a full board operating structure who can run the club. What she did for us was very special, we will never forget that and now the right time for Amanda for her next step and the Club ours.

[@David-vx4mx]

I'm gutted too,Paul. I can't imagine the problems she faced with Ashley on the takeover, but was elated she succeeded. I also read she generously helped to donate money to fix up the Tyne Bridge. I wish them both well.

[@footballmadness4690]

I'm sad to see Amanda & Merhdad go but its onwards and upwards our chairman will turn our dreams into reality we on the right track. #NUFC

[@davidhoward5392]

Thank you Amanda, you and your Husband saved the club..

[@Riptorn73]

Stevie Wonder said it best.. 🎵Isn’t she lovely… isn’t she wonderful!!🎵 Mehrdad.. You’re an absolute belter too!! Thank you both for everything 🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@jamiecummings9666]

It's obvious that Darren eals will be the one to take her role and talk to the fans and that. He was so loved by atalanta fans.

[@simonkerry3793]

When the takeover happened Amanda and con took on directorships of all Newcastle boards and subsidiary companies they have now got an executive team in place so they are withdrawing from the subsidiaries but will remain on the main board

[@johngreen8996]

Thank you both for all you have done to give us our club. Without you Amanda and Mehrdad we would still be in the dark days. Absolutely gutted that you have both left but please know that you will both loved here and welcome to visit us anytime you like. Thanks for everything. Paul. At a guess I think they were here to stabilise the club and set up a plan to run the club from there. We have made progress a lot quicker than expected. Amanda and her husband have other interests that may be suffering from the amount. There is also another possible reason that you will understand better than me as although Parkinson's and Huntington's are different diseasesthey are similar in that they are progressive and are incurable. Nine years ago, Amanda was diagnosed with a genetic disease Huntington's which is a progressive breakdown of brain cells. I am certain that they have put in place during their time here to keep the club on its current upward course. Darren Eales as CEO would be hard to better likes to communicate with the fans just like Amanda. She has also brought top men in their different fields to support him and I think the final piece of the jigsaw was Paul Mitchell. I sincerely hope they are invited to the first game of the season and that Wor flags puts on a special farewell for them. I am sorry I missed the live show but when I saw the news on the Chronicle I looked for TTR straight away. Daily nominations filled and sent as normal.

[@richardgilfedder2807]

Amanda needs a statue outside the stadium!

[@andybell4361]

Untold thanks due to the both of them for rescuing wor club, and never forget the determination and perseverance they had to show to overcome the obstacles put up by the elite cartel clubs and the feet-dragging reluctance of the Premier League to eventually sanction the takeover.

[@chrisdava1209]

Paul, all fans will be gutted that they are leaving but on a positive note we have got world class operators in senior positions ( Eales, Silverstone, Mitchell etc ) to run our club, they are experts in their relative fields who will do things right, to put things into perspective, think back to the muppets Ashley and Charnley running the club,

[@wackyangler2]

Someone needs to e mail them or club and make sure they are there for 1st home game so fans can show their appreciation won't be a dry eye in the place

[@shanesmith1792]

This is an absolute great shout Wacky 👏

[@Robbeer]

Amanda has Huntingtons disease its horrific lost alot of family to this disease this could well have a part in it . Irs a killer she will get very unwell and sign may have started and once it does it wont get better . Least stress as possible helps to prolong so guess running nufc is a no no to me . I thank her fir what she has done n one day she may have a statue.

[@davidwebster5946]

The only surprise for me is she lasted 3 years. She was nearly declared bankrupt a few months the ago over an outstanding £3.8m she owed so how did anyone expect her to continue paying 6% of what the ownership are continuing to put into the club? She did well and probably will walk away with a big profit on her initial 10%

[@MichaelBurge-pj9kn]

What fucking next, Billy Bob to join Ratcliffe at manure?

[@billytray]

Ferk that

[@jacquelinehood5488]

I am absolutely gutted. I truly thought they would stay.

[@chriskemp301]

Our fans need to get with reality if we want to be a big club then you have to make big decisions we cant keep being a sentimental club anymore thats one thing the big boys of world football do not do

[@NUFC82]

I don't think they had the money to put into newcastle, and maybe that was part of the reason.

[@chrisyboy666]

This is exactly the reason

[@davisinho94]

:(

[@NUFC82]

@@davisinho94 Cheer up, we'll be absolutely fine! 😉

[@JacquelineEblet-of2mx]

Mehrdad n amanda thankyou for all you have done you will be legends forever with all newcastle fans good luck

[@jsmart1856]

I think people are looking at it too negatively. Maybe they had both agreed to leave the club when it met the right criteria. This all could be because they’ve excelled so much that they have reached that criteria a lot sooner than expected. Could be a positive

[@JohnEgizii]

You and the team don’t get thanked enough for the work you do getting the news out basically 24/7. Truly appreciate it ⚪️⚫️🙌🏼

[@neilellison4280]

Wor Amanda will always be our Angel of the North. I'm sure she will be looking to see how the toon does wearing her Newcastle scarf. All the best Amanda & Mehrdad ❤❤

[@steveanderson1089]

⚒️ fan but enjoy watching your shows, do you think the 2 leaving has anything to do with Paul Mitchell coming in, I know it's been reported his come in as DOF but he did at one time run all of Red Bull's global football network so could he be taking on a bigger rule in the day to day running of the club, probably qualified enough to.

[@AllanM2e0]

I don’t think it has anything to do with Paul Mitchell’s impending arrival, in fact if we are honest we kind have known it was on the cards especially when we saw they’d sold some of their shares to Jamie Reuben around this time last year.

[@shanesmith1792]

Fair play Steve. I couldn't watch a channel of another club but respect you for your reasons. You can just change and support us now mate 👍 😉

[@steveanderson1089]

@@shanesmith1792 Couldn't be doing that 600 mile round trip every other week, fair do's to you lads travelling width & breadth of the country, think I'll just stick to watching TTR thanks 👍

[@jabsosteeler]

Personally, I worry that the fans will suffer a bit from what I perceive to be a bit too much silence from the rest of the club's management, and that's WITH her in place. Without her the club has some PR work to pick up I think.

[@grahamritchie7755]

Thank you both for everything you have done for the club and the fans we will miss you

[@SUM1SLY83]

Feel like Amanda and Merhdad was just a face to show it wasn’t purchased by a state. Interesting to see where this goes. Gutted that Amanda is going from the face of the club don’t want it to go to a faceless club.

[@michaelparsons3221]

Thank you Amanda for saving this great club but now we have to move on to bigger and better …#NUFC4LIFE

[@philipkeersnufc4160]

They have done Awesome at our club I wish them both the very best ⚫⚪

[@wackyangler2]

You need an Amanda Staveley stand in the ground now👍

[@seancoulson7584]

ts are i hope Amanda is ok with her health issues but then i 'm thinking how do we hope and expect current players and new players to buy into the vision for Toon when 2 of the main figureheads have decided to leave part way thru the project??? sad, very sad and kinda worrying tbh

[@Flynn410]

Great show Paul 👍

[@davidhughes4489]

Very sorry to see them go indeed,,but it is with gratitude I wave them off.

[@waynepatten6973]

she will always be held at the highest to the Geordies.But 1 shes not well and 2 they cant afford to put in there % towards transfers and transfer prices are going crazy i thought she was going to stay on with a job in the company at the club .

[@RobDP1981]

Some very rough maths here but if the acquisition was 300m and Amanda had 6% that's 18m. If PIF now reckon the club is worth 1bn then 6% of that is 60m. Pretty much what we were reported to be willing to pay for olise. Coincidence?

[@wackyangler2]

Thankyou to merdhad and Amanda for showing the whole Premier league how a club should be run in the right way. I wish them luck in future endeavours. The question I have will there be an objection from prem league as Amanda and merdhad had to make guarantees that the club wouldn't be owned outright by pif which was a reason the deal took longer to get over the line I'm not sure what pifs percentage is now and will be after aswell as Ruben's stake. Maybe it was done so those shares could be sold to generate more money for psr ffp for the club. I'll miss seeing her smiling face And being front and foremost for nufc

[@markwagstaff7209]

Gutted I hope we still see them at the games ❤

[@martinsouter407]

Absolutely gutted they took us off the life support machine we were on let us breathe. Let us strive and made us grow, and we will always be thankful ,reason's behind this are their bissness they have done what they came to do made us a functioning club again that will challenge just like the time when I fell in love with the great entertainers #THANKYOUAMANDA&MEHRDAD

[@stuanderson808]

Mehrdad and Amanda have performed their roles absolutely brilliantly but now it’s time to move on to stage 2. They will go with everyone’s best wishes, that’s for sure.

[@peteeccles3302]

Absolutely gutted..Amanda and Merhdad have been the faces that I associate the club with. They have both put so many hard hours into resurrecting NUFC and putting it on the map in a much bigger way than it ever was😢😢

After the new sporting director came.. it is normal that she may leave.. her role is done.. Thanks Amanda 🌹

[@CCkhT21o681]

Concerned that the club did not bring in someone else to be the public front of the club before slowly phasing out Amanda. Feels rather abrupt this change.

[@MagpieQueenofheart]

Amanda thank you for what you have done for the magpies we wish you well ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@colinstuart3138]

Oh no

[@user-uc6wx8ui7r]

At the beginning of the season we all need to sing out her name in the ground to show our appreciation. She’s been fantastic

[@dneshkp8631]

They had the vision to break free from Ashley, it would have been nice to see the first trophy at least. What’s next, the Reuben Bros sell up and “For Sale” goes up and another Ashley type consortium takeover? Thank you for everything to date.

[@petermaylia454]

Without a statement from the club we don’t know What the way forward will be.

Until you can tell us otherwise we have to maintain the view she has done a lot during and after the take over 🤔

the transfer show has been deleted????

[@nolslifegren]

Toys , pram . You get the picture

[@peterrobb8106]

Looking at her business background, she has made her name and money through investing in businesses and then sell her shares to make aprofit, so not supprised that she is leaving but agree it was sooner than expected but was always going to happen

[@jeffdbaker71]

So sad to see her go.

[@alien4422]

The one concern that I've had for some time is that the Saudis could sell the club and buy one of the big club brands who have money coming in which would allow the Saudis to spend big. FFP has put back their plans. I really hope that I am wrong about this. I could not stand having an Ashley mk 2.

[@petercobb1009]

They come in full of bollocks a fanfare, and go when they have made enough. The fans remain….

[@centurion8446]

Disappointed as she was a good local face to counterbalance the nonsense and seeked in touch. Sounds like it was a struggle after the loan from Ashley went sour?

[@tonyfraser6930]

❤❤❤

[@ralphpurves]

Gutted but not unexpected. They have been fantastic since they came. I'm sure I heard Amanda has a health condition so possibly leaving due to that. 😪

[@janlievens6964]

The only way is Up

[@drewsharratt564]

I'm guessing that the club will be aware that this news will be a downer for a lot of fans. So, maybe expect a big signing announcement sooner than later!? 🤞🤞🤞

⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️🔥

[@andrewford119]

Loads of blinded Toon fans will resent this but they’re wrong and misinformed. Hearts rule heads but she had to go… Her business conduct would’ve been a big turn off for the PIF who would have viewed her as a risk. Yes she’s a great salesperson and undoubtedly had a positive impact of this clubs future. But she was a facilitator and will move on to her next project. I wish her all the best but I honestly think the club is better off without her…..

[@bensouthwell1339]

The story started with the Athletic. Has anything actually been confirmed or is it more shite stirring?

[@kevinm7670]

Didn't she have ti step sown as she was declaring bankrupt, save her paying a stupid amount to somebody else, away from football issues.

[@avinaturkish]

Amanda is a deal broker. She will have made a tidy profit as a result of her time and financial investment. Very well done to her but she was always likely to take her remaining profit(she's already liquidated part of her Newcastle holdings) and use it for other deals. I'm very grateful for all she has done for the club and wish her all the best for the future. I'm curious how long the Reubens wait to follow. In my experience the Saudis don't share if they can avoid it

[@spikemilligan8655]

They will be a lose to the club, so much done by them. They will be a great miss

[@bobmens7448]

Dane ashworth knew something we didn't Amanda would not just go like that Eddie how will be next Definitely something big going on

[@michaeloneill8025]

There’s something bigger coming down the line! Poor financial planning led to the sale of two very good young players in Anderson and Minteh , why was that allowed to happen? That wasn’t good business; it was pure financial panic ! I wonder how Eddie Howe felt about that?Apparently she wasn’t happy with the Mitchell appointment. The position of Eddie Howe looks a little tenuous as Amanda was always his champion- England could come calling very soon. I believe PIF will look at bigger fish, in the near future to invest in so they can see a bigger return for their money . Unfortunately we’ll do well to hang onto top level players while we’re playing financial catch up with the “cartel clubs” and are out of Europe! Yes I’m sounding pessimistic but I’m also a realist who has supported this club for 60 plus years. We need to wake up and smell the coffee.

[@harry4323]

She has been a great ambasador for the club and fans, its stange how as Dan Ashworth has gone now she has gone stability seems to be lost. Lets hope They do not come in for Howe for England manager.
