George Caulkin delivers latest update on Newcastle United takeover

George Caulkin of the Athletic has delivered a fresh new update on the Newcastle United takeover saga.

Earlier today, BBC journalist Ian Dennis reported:

The WTO report says “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”.

The tweet was later deleted.

Tariq Panja of the New York Times has claimed that the WTO itself has not weighed in on the Newcastle deal specifically.

The Guardian has further added today that the controversial £300m Saudi Arabia-funded takeover of Newcastle United now appears to be in serious doubt.
