Is it possible that Staveley is using her links with the Saudis to garner fan support for a takeover? It's also reported that she has the backing of two billionaires who the press refer to as the 'Ruben brothers'They've got their little shell companies set up with Staveley and co already, I would bet everything is already pretty much agreed for the purchase of Newcastle but the Saudis only want it to be announced after the season concludes.
The Saudis don't need Staveley to buy Newcastle for £340m. Something doesn't add up.
