Fans react as Barry Hearn emerges as a key figure in Newcastle takeover

There have been a lot of talks regarding a potential takeover at Newcastle United, but apart from crazy speculations, there hasn’t been anything concrete to get the fans excited.

Earlier this week, Shield Gazette reported that Amanda Staveley’s consortium, backed by the Saudi Arabian crown sovereign wealth fund, in conjunction with property magnates Simon and David Reuben, are still keen on getting a deal for Newcastle United.

Newcastle United fans have grown tired of Mike Ashley’s management, and majority of them wants to see a change in ownership.

According to latest reports from the Daily Mail, Barry Hearn has emerged as a key figure in the takeover process.
