What do we think?
Considering that the club’s current owner Mike Ashley has been an unpopular man with Toon fans throughout his tenure as owner of Newcastle United, it may not come as a surprise that many Newcastle fans are waiting with anticipation for the announcement confirming that his sale of the club has been completed.
Furthermore, Newcastle’s prospective new owners would be the wealthiest in the Premier League if this takeover goes through, as per the Daily Mail. With that in mind, it may be understandable why these fans are hoping that this takeover gets completed soon.
