Newcastle United fans on Twitter have been speculating on when the announcement for their much-anticipated club takeover will be revealed.
This comes after Will Shearer, the son of Alan, shared a post on his Twitter page hoping that the takeover will “surely” happen this week.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Newcastle fans who were equally anxious over the announcement.
Here’s a sample of Newcastle fans responding to the post:

The longer it goes on the more doubt will creep in amongst fans hope this is the endgame now

Will the takeover be announced this week?
Yes
No
Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-based consortium recently paid a deposit and exchanged contracts with club owner Mike Ashley. The Premier League is now completing the required checks for the takeover to be officially granted (per Sky Sports). Now that Shearer has shared his hopes for the takeover to be announced this week, this sparked a big reaction on Twitter with many Magpies fans replying with their thoughts on the situation.
Hope so ????

It seems that from these replies, this bunch of Newcastle fans are keeping their fingers crossed that the takeover will happen as soon as possible.
