Newcastle United co-owner delivers reassuring message fans will love amid Chelsea sale reports

Ghodoussi and Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners own a 10% stake of Newcastle, as does Reuben through RB Sports & Media.

Reuben was this week linked with a move for Chelsea, which was put up for sale by Roman Abramovich last week.

According to Bloomberg, the Newcastle co-owner had been “exploring a bid” for Chelsea. Due to the Premier League’s rules on dual ownership, any potential move to purchase a stake in a rival Premier League club would have implications for Newcastle.

But the Gazette understands that Reuben remains committed to the long-term project at Newcastle.

And ahead of Thursday night’s match at Southampton, Ghodoussi joked on Twitter: “Jamie Reuben⁩ you’ll never leave me #nufc #howaythelads.”

The tweet was accompanied by an image of Ghodoussi, Reuben and Staveley on the train to Southampton to watch Eddie Howe’s side in action.
