It seems the Premier League are set to announce their decision on the Newcastle United takeover in the next few days.
According to reports from Louise Taylor of The Guardian, the verdict will go in the potential Newcastle owner’s favour. The Premier League has taken 11 weeks to give approval to the contentious £300m Saudi-led takeover which will free Newcastle fans from the misery of Mike Ashley’s 13-year ownership and make their club England’s richest.
Taylor writes that sources close to the deal believe that ‘it is finally near to being sanctioned’.
