Newcastle United co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi has made a U-turn on comments he made recently.
Ghodoussi, who is a front for the Saudi Public Investment Fund's ownership of Newcastle, backtracked on claims that the club's supporters were not loud enough.
Many Magpies were furious to read comments he made criticizing the atmosphere at St. James' Park for some games.
Often, our intentions and words don't align perfectly," he wrote on X.
I believe most of you know how deeply I'm committed to this club; my heart beats in black and white and my love for the club and all of you is unwavering.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for tonight, we stand united. Here's to us and our journey together. Howay the lads."
