A group of Newcastle United fans have been discussing @NUFC360‘s tweet, which shares an image of a document naming Bander Mogren as the director of NCUK Investment Limited – a shell company set up by Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the director of PiF.
The company will be used to transfer shares from Mike Ashley when the takeover is complete, and it’s now understood that the deal is in the hands of the Premier League (via Chronicle Live), with the supporters eagerly awaiting an announcement in the near future. Here is how some of them have responded to this latest update.
It’s Mbappening ?#NUFC

That’s cans then to be fair. That’s the official announcement as far as I’m concerned and I’m happy it came from 360

What do we think?
Judging by the above responses, these fans feel as though the completion of the takeover is edging closer – and hopefully for them, the end of Ashley’s reign. The general consensus appears to be that it’s just a matter of time. According to the Chronicle, this is another sign that all the involved parties are beginning to get their ‘ducks in a row’.
