Interesting news also from Sky Sports’ North-East correspondent Keith Downie, who explains (as stated above) that Stavelely has compromised on the clauses that were present in her initial offer, also revealing that the two parties will come together to ensure money is available for Benitez to spend in the January window – with it likely to take time before new owners are in place due to Premier League regulations having to ratify the deal.
