Newcastle United fans have been reacting to the latest news regarding the potential takeover of the club.
It has now been over a year since initial claims about the Saudi Arabian takeover at Newcastle United were first reported, and as anyone who has been following it will tell you, there have been plenty of twists and turns along the way for a deal that may or may not ever happen.
However, a recent report from The Independent, relayed by Lee Ryder at The Chronicle, has claimed that the potential new owners are growing ‘cautiously optimistic’ that the court battles will go in their favour that will allow the club to move on from Mike Ashley and into a new era where they might have someone willing to spend some money in the team.
However, whether it be the fatigue of having more news that isn’t real progress about the takeover, or that they have just given up hope it will ever happen, there didn’t seem to be much optimism from the Newcastle United fans when they responded to Ryder’s tweet about the matter:
“She will own a championship club next season then…”
Do you think relegation will impact the takeover?
Yes, we can't be relegated or it is over
No, they want to buy Newcastle no matter what
And in all honesty, given what’s not happening off the pitch, combined with what’s happening on it recently, you can’t really blame Newcastle fans for not being the happiest bunch right now.
