Report: Newcastle United suitors BNG exposed for doctoring photos of Barack Obama in marketing materials used for publicity

The Singaporean consortium attempting to buy Newcastle United has been exposed by Reuters for plenty of deceits. Bellagraph Nova Group have been linked with a Newcastle takeover, with reports claiming they have tabled a £280 million bid, provided a Letter of Intent and a Proof of Funds. BN Group moved in to buy the Magpies after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled out of a £300 million bid last month, but the club’s latest suitors have fooled everyone by claiming to know former former U.S. President Barack Obama. A picture of the website of Bellagraph Nova Group, showed owners Terence, Nelson Loh and Evangeline Shen sitting next to Obama, but it has emerged that it was doctored.
