This has the potential to be a massive game changer for the Prem and obviously Newcastle - more money coming into a club
Toon fans up here are going nuts over it, funny, they were moaning about Man City spending too much up until only recently, now they're over the moon they've potentially got a massive war chest

Will be interesting times ahead and I have heard the new owners want Benitez to stay. Trouble is will Ashley accept this time as there have been previous bids on the table only for them to collapse.
Is that the Evening Echo. Echo, Echo, get your Evening EchoEcho echo.......

Previous bidders didn't have the cash. If they couldn't raise the amount then how could they invest in the team afterwards? Presumably money is not an issue this time so no reason for Ashley to pull out, unless he is stupid and tries to jack the price up last minute.https://www.skysports.com/football/...agree-terms-to-buy-newcastle-from-mike-ashley

I saw that. It's a very different amount of money but you are quite right. The guy will have to show his money and pass the fit and proper person test. The Toon fans I know wont believe it until it is signed and sealed and the pictures are taken. Too many false dawns.A few reports suggesting that the person is not who says he is and doesn’t have the “fortune†believed , he didn’t even meet our owners last summer and a journo on Twitter has posted about it all not being all it seems.

Ther is always a takeover bid or supposed war chest around season ticket renewal time 🤔is it just me or does this takeover saga just sound like PR bullshit?
No I think you have a valid point. Funny how these sort of stories come out at the same time each year. I wonder how serious Ashley really is about selling and whether its all PR for him?is it just me or does this takeover saga just sound like PR bullshit?
