    Sky saying PIF buying Amanda’s 6% shareholding. Their shareholding could be worth around £50m which is a nice exit figure. They’ve left the club in a very good position with all the key people in place and the makings of a top 6/4 team. All that in 3 years is quite an achievement.

    1) They never actually had that big a share, and it was reduced recently anyway.
    2) She has a degenerative neurological condition. It's possible she may want to do something less intensive and time consuming.
    3) She has been embroiled in a legal battle with Victor Restis over money.
    Lots of reasons she may have decided to do this that don't mean the sky is falling in.

    I think we should all have known this wouldn't be long-term for Amanda... she was diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease in 2013... of which there is a prognosis of around 15 to 20 years of quality of life, before she'll no doubt need some form of care, eventually full-time care...
    I'm sure her demise health wise was never planned to be in the spot light as it happens, so I'm sure both her and Mehdad will be looking at the next chapter of their lives, without the Media glare...

    This was always going to happen. She was only ever the deal broker and it was clear from a number of structural decisions since the take over that she wasn’t seen as part of the management long term. They’ve made a fantastic contribution to the Club - especially Amanda who “got the Toon” from the minute she first came to SJP and, of course, she was responsible for bringing in Eddie. Without her we would probably be in the Championship now. She will leave a big gap, which I don’t think Eales will fill.

    OK so SA used her to buy the club. She has done a great job but lets face it, when have we seen an Arab company run or had a woman in charge of anything. If she goes to any club she will do well.
    Amanda....Go buy Blackpool (My Second club) I know they will accept you and you can do it all again.

    I feel like our club will be taken away now no middle man just ballers in Saudi making decisions . Why Dan ashworth go summer fishy going on. She was the bridge to the Saudis now I think they’ll just do what they want and shit on our traditions. This is awful news for the club lads lasses teams gutted.
