English Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters comments on Newcastle United takeover

English Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters has been asked about the Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund plans to complete a £300 million takeover of Newcastle United again, and he has hinted that there shouldn’t be a time limit to how long the Directors’ and Owners’ test should take.

Mail Sport’s David Coverdale shared his latest comments on the Magpies takeover on Twitter:

It has been almost two months since PIF made it very clear that were keen to own the St. James’ Park outfit, and current owner Mike Ashley has agreed to part ways with the club, with a nonrefundable £17 million already deposited with the Premier League.
