Image for Newcastle United: Fans rave over Nick De Marco’s post

A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a tweet that has been posted by leading sports lawyer Nick De Marco QC which featured a picture of Miles Davis’ 1960 album Sketches of Spain. 

De Marco is acting on behalf of Newcastle United in their dispute with the Premier League over their alleged rejection of a Toon takeover bid from a consortium consisting of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), PCP Capital Partners and the Reuben brothers. 

This tweet featuring the Sketches of Spain album was posted shortly after it emerged that ex-Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has left his post as manager of Chinese Super League club Dalian Professional.

So, how have these Newcastle United fans been reacting to De Marco’s tweet? 

Many of the Toon supporters who replied to De Marco’s post took this tweet as a hint that Benitez may be on his way back to St. James’ Park.
