The speculation is rife that Mike Ashley will sell Newcastle United before the new season begins.
The Independent claimed yesterday that the £300m takeover of Newcastle United is expected to be fully completed by the end of April.
All the necessary paperwork have been lodged which means that a consortium – backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund – could be in place well before the start of the new season.
Newcastle United fans have desperately wished for a change of ownership all these years. And it seems it is only a matter of time now.
