Newcastle United fans will undoubtedly be over the moon to hear recent reports relating to their club’s proposed takeover.
Despite seeing multiple takeover attempts fall through, fans of the Magpies, who are desperate to see their side under new ownership, will be delighted to hear that the latest Saudi-led takeover appears to be close to being finalised.
That’s according to a recent report from the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope, who has recently claimed that sources within the club are confident of seeing the takeover go through.
Sources indicate NUFC takeover is expected to go through after settlement of piracy issues between Saudi/beIN. I’m told arbitration may not be needed now piracy is resolved. Alleged state piracy was the issue, hence the need to prove separation. Full story to follow @MailSport
