A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a tweet from Luke Edwards, who claims he has heard news of a second deal verbally agreed regarding the ownership of the Toon.

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

Edwards claimed at the weekend that he was ‘very confused‘ by this and told people to ignore it.

Later, in reply to one fan, the Daily Telegraph reporter claimed that he had chased it up and was deciding to ignore it as it made little sense to him.

Do you believe there is a second bid on the table for Newcastle?

Yes, going to ruin the takeover

No, don't think there is anything in it

However, his original tweet had caused panic amongst some Newcastle fans.

Other Toon supporters, though, are remaining calm and feel that news of a second bid is rubbish.

What do we think?

The deal for Newcastle to be sold to Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium is currently with the Premier League going through all of the required checks, while a deposit has been paid to Mike Ashley.

Therefore, news of a second bid does seem to be very odd as this current one only has the owners’ and directors’ test to pass before it is a done deal.

We therefore agree with Edwards and recommend Newcastle fans to ignore this supposed second bid.
