The Newcastle United takeover is turning out to be one hell of a saga where nobody knows what the outcome will be.
George Caulkin of The Athletic (and other reliable journalists) has been telling us for the past couple of months that both the buyer and the seller are confident that the deal will go through.
A deal in the region of £300 million has already been agreed between Mike Ashley and the Newcastle potential owners. The potential new owners have signed a contract and a part payment, that is non-negotiable, has been paid to Ashley as well.
