A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a post from NUFC Gallowgate that includes two images of Amanda Staveley arriving for her court battle with Barclays Bank.

Nice easy one to start off with, which club did Newcastle United sign Shearer from in 1996?

Staveley is currently in the middle of suing Barclays for £1.5bn over claims that they misled her in 2008.

As well as this, she is also waiting to hear if the Premier League has approved her bid for Newcastle.

These images drew the attention of these Toon fans.

Are you happy to see Staveley?

Staveley, her Saudi Arabian backers and the Reuben brothers have had a deal agreed with Mike Ashley for the purchase of Newcastle United since April, and have paid him a deposit.

The only thing remaining for the deal to be completed is the Premier League’s approval.

And, if Craig Hope is to be believed, that is edging closer, with a decision from the Premier League regarding the deal expected in the coming days, with Hope stating that it should be positive for the takeover.

However, for now, these Toon fans continued to just react to these images of Staveley.

This takeover process has been long, and the issue of piracy looked to have represented a real threat to it going through.

Suggestions were made that Saudi Arabia might have to make some concessions like unblocking beIN Sports and cracking down on piracy.

It looks as if have both happened in the past week with some Saudi cafes now showing beIN Sports, and the government announced a crackdown on piracy.

There have also been suggestions that the UK government have put some slight pressure on the PL to pass this takeover.

So, it finally looks as if this saga could be coming to an end.
