Staveley hopes to return to football

Amanda Staveley says she hopes to be back involved with Premier League football soon, amid recent links with Tottenham.

Staveley, who helped broker the Saudi-led takeover of Newcastle along with her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi, was reportedly in talks over taking a stake in Spurs earlier this year.

Speaking at Bloomberg's 'Women, Money & Power' event in central London, she was asked about her feelings for Newcastle and those links with Tottenham.

"First of all, I think all we can do is thank the amazing Newcastle community and the founders for all the support that we had and and continue to get," said Staveley.

"It's so hard to move on from a club that's amazing. We could never move on from Newcastle and we never will. But yes, we're looking at a number of investment operations.

"We can't say too much at the moment because of you know, rules around it. But we will be able to talk about it, hopefully in the not too distant future."

Staveley and Ghodoussi sold their remaining shares in Newcastle in July to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the Reuben family.
