Buckle up folks. Claims #nufc has been sold to Dubai Sheikh - latest here: https://t.co/yUrH74vczB— The Chronicle (@ChronicleNUFC) May 26, 2019
This looks serious but we've been here before with #NUFCTakeover. Mike Ashley's move is what matters next, @MsiDouglas argues. https://t.co/xllSTV9FPF— The Chronicle (@ChronicleNUFC) May 27, 2019
A bit of a click bait title, but it is indeed The Rumor. If it's true, we would still have to see what kind of an owner, and how well they can manage a club, but it could be otherworldly. I'll be refreshing every 10 minutes for the rest of the weekend.
A pledge to "build" Newcastle United from the Sheikh who is close to buying @NUFC for £300m-plus.https://t.co/ULQvZiG9VJ— Simon Bird (@SimonBird_) May 27, 2019
Bad news: It looks like the Sheikh is full of it. He's the only one claiming it's done. Reports are that a price has been agreed, but the money has not been produced, which is exactly what he did with Liverpool. I can't see what he gains by ruining his reputation in England. Good news: There are other interested parties (multiple?) that are progressing with an attempt to buy the club. Buckle up for some completely uninformed speculation from the press. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...eptical-bid-fromsheikh-khaled-will-lead-sale/
Meh, six of one. I’ll be shocked if this doesn’t complete. Only because Ashley knows he’ll have a revolt on his hands if he doesn’t sell and loses Benitez. Also, the Liverpool price was like 1.8B not 350M. And he was financing with a group. Thx, Jay!
The Bin Zayed Group are now saying their take over won't be completed until Rafa's contract expires. So, it's up to Ashley to re-sign him. Who announces an "agreed" takeover a month before it's complete? Maybe they're trying to jump the queue. I'll be surprised if these guys end up as our new owners. https://thisisfutbol.com/2019/05/blogs/takeover-not-expected-to-be-done-before-benitez-deadline/
