Tariq Panja delivers latest update on Newcastle United takeover

This is turning out to be one hell of a takeover saga, with twists and turns in every corner as the delay goes on.

According to Ian Dennis of BBC, the World Trade Organization report ruling that Saudi Arabia is behind pirate satellite station beoutQ says that “should the Premier League approve the Newcastle takeover by KSA, it would be acting inconsistently with its own decisions and factual evidence as part of the WTO proceedings”.

It caused huge unrest among the Newcastle fan base.

The report could land a huge blow on the Public Investment Fund’s chances of owning Newcastle United, as the Premier League are scrutinising details of piracy.
