Ever since Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi were pushed out of Newcastle United last year, there have been plenty of rumours that their journey in the world of Football is far from over.
At one point last season, there were some strong rumours that Amanda Staveley was raising funds to buy into Tottenham Hotspur, and there was a lot of evidence to back this up, with the financier having been spotted in meetings with Spurs club officials.
Now, after executive chairman Daniel Levy's shock resignation last week, there's a power vacuum to be filled at the London club, and obviously, Staveley's name has come up in the conversation.
It now looks as though the former Newcastle United co-owner is set to release a statement today addressing the rumours.

Amanda Staveley is not launching a bid for Tottenham
The BBC have already reported that Spurs insist the club is not for sale amid reports of bids having already been made, with Spurs putting out a statement on Sunday night.
"The Board of the Club and ENIC confirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC has no intention to accept any such offer to acquire its interest in the Club,"
Now, Amanda Staveley is expected to follow that up with a statement of her own stating that she has no interest in buying Tottenham, according to Sky Sports.

We're glad there's no truth to the rumours of a Staveley-led bid for Tottenham
A lot of Newcastle fans didn't want to see Amanda Staveley leave the club in the first place, and there has been a notable downturn in trust in the club since her departure.
It would be painful to watch Staveley take over another club, especially one in the Premier League and seeing another fanbase benefit from her hands-on approach.
The financier and her husband were the link between the fans and the club, a public face who always seemed to have time for the fans. After being ousted, the communication between the club and the fans became practically non-existent beyond the Premier League-led Fan Advisory Board engagement. Now that David Hopkinson has taken over as CEO, we hope that these communication lines are opened again, but we won't hold our breath.
