A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a tweet from Luke Edwards that includes a link to a post from The Chronicle, which includes a live blog with quotes from football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
Maguire claims that he doesn’t think there is anything to concern Newcastle fans with the proposed takeover – except for any links with piracy.
There was fresh evidence submitted to the Premier League earlier this week that was supposedly to do with Saudi Arabia’s links to football piracy.
This could be a problem because the Saudis are backing Amanda Staveley’s takeover of the Toon.
Therefore, Edwards believes that there are reasons to be worried and that everyone is worried except the buyers – but that is because they are still waiting.
However, this tweet has not gone down well with these Toon fans, who appear to be sick of the negativity surrounding the proposed takeover.
Does Edwards' tweet worry you?
Yes
No
And given this is what the fresh evidence supposedly referred to, there are reasons to be worried. Everyone is worried, we are all worried, the only people saying they aren’t worried are the buyers. They don’t know whether to be worried or not because they are still waiting too https://t.co/Q4rLoMP9nf

Happy Friday to you too, Luke. Nothing like starting the day with a bit of negativity?

Literally garbage. It’s delayed because these things take time, it’s happening during a pandemic (people WFH), they are sorting out the return of football which has ££££ implications. They will not fail the Directors test…

Do us all a favour Luke and take a break from the #NufcTakeover until you have some concrete proof and facts as it’s driving all the fans insane with all the negativity

What do we think?
A decision on the takeover from the Premier League was expected this week, but due to the submission of new evidence, this could now be delayed.
Either way, though, it appears that this post from Edwards has not helped anyone, and many Toon fans have let him know what they think of this post.
