For those that missed it. SSN has been informed that the Saudi Arabian takeover of Newcastle United is back on. Significant progress has been made in the last few days and its now just a case of an agreement being reached between owner Mike Ashley and the PL - Full story to follow
Agreement with the PL has been reached. Mike Ashley, Lee Charnley and Justin Barnes are in a meeting with the consortium this evening to finalise the sale.
While we bask in our new situation. Barcelona report 409m loss for last season and 1.2b in debt. What a time to be taken over by a 300 billion investment fund. You know what. Good. We have suffered for 14 ****ing years it’s time someone else felt that way.
Lad I know has a pal who knows Keith Downie. Apparently Keith is with Staveley now should have been announced at 6 but will be tomorrow now.
****ing Ashley is turning the screw. He’s a twat. But he is our twat. Ive heard that he is forcing the PL hand and saying it’s time to be sensible. I’ve heard he has laid a deal out to the PL. I am not ****ting you either that’s what I’ve just been told by a legal chap (in London btw). I have no reason to doubt or approve what he’s said. He’s a saints fan aswell so he’s no personal interest in it. Has anyone else heard by the grapevine anything similar! I am told the offer (from MA) was on the table on Sunday evening?
