Staveley will step down from her role at St James' Park, almost three years after leading a Saudi-led takeover.
A heartbroken Amanda Staveley has opened up on her "devastating" exit from Newcastle United , as well as living with Huntington's disease, in a candid wide-ranging interview.
"And I would wish to be there every day, but it’s also not fair. The club’s management team need to have the chance to deliver their business plan. We did a great job and it’s been a privilege to be part of it, but they need to be left to do their jobs, too. When asked why she doesn't just sit on her investment and 'enjoy the ride' from the directors’ box with less stress, Staveley candidly opened up about her current situation.“I couldn’t do that,” she said. “And, I’ll be honest, I have a degenerative disease in Huntington’s and I need to work.
“I’m a mum. I want to be around to see my grandkids. My mum died when she was 63. I’m 51 and you just never know. I’ve adapted my lifestyle. I don’t smoke any more, I barely drink, I look after myself. But only by challenging myself through work can I be that version of myself. I can’t take a step back.
