Newcastle United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from Labour MP Kate Osborne.
This comes after Osborne shared a post on her official Twitter page that contained an article from the Daily Mirror revealing how Osborne has sent a letter that contained an ultimatum to the Premier League for them to make a decision on the proposed £300 million takeover of the club.
In her post, Osborne wrote in the caption that many of her constituents have contacted her regarding the takeover.
She said that “dedicated fans have been put through an unnecessary rollercoaster which is causing mental anguish” to some people in communities that she represents.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Newcastle fans who were quick to share their responses to this post from the politician.
Here’s a sample of Newcastle fans responding to the post:
Many constituents have contacted me concerning the #NUFCtakeover.
Dedicated fans have been put through an unnecessary rollercoaster which is causing mental anguish to some in communities I represent.
I urge @premierleague to at least publish a timescale.https://t.co/PHZK1QW235

Back in April, it was reported that the takeover is “nearing completion after the Saudi-backed consortium paid a deposit and exchanged contracts with club owner Mike Ashley” with the Premier League’s Owners’ and Directors’ test all that stood in the way (per Sky Sports).
As I have long suspected, the interest of fans comes a long way down the list of @premierleague priorities.

It is an absolute disgrace, we have been in limbo for months and months, this is not good enough – it is awful for players, staff and fans. Clarity and decisions ASAP please.

Are you confident the Premier League will approve the takeover?
Yes
No
You know it’s bad the PL when football fans have had to resort to asking an mp to help us out. Thank you for asking them because it’s getting beyond a joke now #NUFC

Now that Osborne has shared this post on her Twitter page urging the Premier League to share some sort of time indication as to when they will come to a decision on the takeover, this has sparked a big reaction on Twitter with many Toon fans sharing their messages to the politician.
Thanks Kate it is getting ridiculous.. I’ve never heard a process that has no timelines to complete.. a simple it’s at this stage and we expect a decision by when would be appreciated

It’s good that Osborne has written a letter to the Premier League so that they may be able to shed some light on how long it will take until a decision is made regarding the takeover.
Unfortunately for these Newcastle fans, until there is any sort of announcement from the Premier League, they will need to continue waiting until that happens.
