To kick things off, which season is this kit from?

The Athletic reporter has claimed that the Premier League will give their approval to the deal ‘very soon’ and from there, the only thing that would need to happen is for the money to appear in Mike Ashley’s bank account.

In his recent tweet, the reporter states that this will likely take a ‘few days.’

This update from Caulkin has gone down very well with these Toon fans who seem delighted.

Does this news from Caulkin get you excited?

Yes, it is getting closer

No, I am still not convinced

What do we think?

The deal for Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium to acquire Newcastle is currently with the Premier League going through the owners and directors test after a deposit was paid to Mike Ashley.

If Caulkin’s post is to be believed, then it looks like the league will allow this deal to go through, at which point the money will then be transferred to Ashley.

Once that is done, Newcastle United will have new owners. Judging by Caulkin’s tweet, an official announcement confirming this takeover may not be far away.
