I’m no longer reading them. It’ll either happen or it won’t. There will be an announcement eventually.

Most are doing more damage than good. One min the take over is in serious doubt, then the next we are in talks with Barcelona for players.

What do we think?
According to recent reports by Sean Ingle in The Guardian, the Saudi Arabia-funded takeover of Newcastle United could be in serious doubt, after the World Trade Organization ruled that the country is behind a pirate satellite TV and streaming service that offers illegal access to sporting events, including Premier League matches.
However, with no official statement from either the club or the Premier League, it appears as if the deal is still very much up in the air, meaning that, unfortunately for Newcastle fans, there is nothing else to do but wait and see.
