Newcastle United takeover: Lee Ryder comments on Henry Mauriss’ bid

An interesting development took place this morning that adds another twist in the Newcastle United takeover saga.

The World Trade Organisation released a report yesterday that has dampened the spirit of the Newcastle fan base to a large extent.

The 125-page World Trade Organisation (WTO) report states that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was behind beoutQ, and the ruling now raises serious questions over whether the Premier League can approve the £300m takeover bid from the Saudi consortium.

And within the next 24 hours, reports emerged that American businessman Henry Mauriss and his firm have lodged a formal offer to buy Newcastle United.
