British businesswoman Amanda Staveley on Friday denied that a Saudi-backed takeover of Premier League club Newcastle United was designed to 'sportswash' Saudi Arabia's human rights record, saying the deal would rebuild the club into a winning team.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and human rights groups, such as Amnesty UK, have accused the oil-rich nation of "sportwashing their appalling human rights record with the glamour of top-flight football". "We are buying a club that could be relegated next week," she told Reuters in a telephone interview. "If we were thinking about this as being some type of sportswashing exercise we would have made different choices."
She'll start by seeking to move Shearer's statue to its "rightful place" inside the St James' Park grounds, she said. It currently stands outside of the stadium.
