A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from NUFC 360, which has relayed quotes made by George Caulkin on the Pod On The Tyne podcast.
Caulkin was actually relaying a quote from the buying side of the proposed takeover, and whoever it was who said this clearly has a lot of affection for Newcastle. (41:44)
They said that ‘NUFC are the last great uncut diamond in the Premier League’ and that ‘nobody has wanted to spend the time, effort and money to show that jewel in the best light. (41:44)
This has drawn a huge reaction from these Toon fans who love these words about their club.
What do you think of these comments?
Truly beautiful
Means nothing if they don't get the takeover done
Quote from the buying side of the takeover:#NUFC “are the last great uncut diamond in the PL. It just needs cutting and polishing. The diamond has been there all along but nobody has wanted to spend the time, effort, money to show that jewel in the best light.” [George Caulkin]

What do we think?
Whoever this came from on the buying side clearly thinks that acquiring Newcastle is a huge opportunity, and the way they talk about the Toon indicates that this could be a long-term project. (41:44)
However, all of this is dependent on the Premier League with the deal agreed with Mike Ashley and a deposit paid as well.
The proposed takeover has faced numerous challenges from the likes of beIN Sports and Amnesty International.
Still, those on the buying side remain ‘overwhelmingly positive’ that the deal will be approved. (19:14)
We will just have to wait and see what the Premier League decides.
