Amanda Staveley has confirmed she remains interested in buying Newcastle United - one year on from her previous attempt.
Staveley witnessed three bids rejected for the Magpies in November 2017 before Mike Ashley abruptly called off negotiations. Here, in timeline style, we remind ourselves just how Staveley's previous attempt to buy the club panned out as talk of another Staveley saga threatens.
Amanda Staveley has confirmed she remains interested in buying Newcastle United - 14-month on from her previous attempt.
Her interest wasnt confirmed at the time, but Staveleys appearance in the directors box to watch Newcastles 1-1 draw with Liverpool fuelled speculation that she about to open talks with Mike Ashley.
Less than 24 hours later, The Telegraph reported Staveley held talks with Justin Barnes, the man appointed to help find a buyer, stating her intentions hold further talks across the coming days.
With 15 days of speculation surrounding Staveleys St Jamess Park appearance, St James' Holdings Ltd, on behalf of Ashley, announced the club up was up for sale.
Reports suggested Staveley was weeks away from submitting a formal offer as she turned PCP Capital Partners in order to help her secure the suitable funds.
Talks were progressing quickly with Staveley reportedly keen on breaking a deal before Christmas. She signed signed confidentiality agreement and entered a due diligence period. Ashley reported asking price? 350m.
