According to The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, American businessman Henry Mauriss is indeed interested in buying Newcastle United and already has a team in place to get the deal done should Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s £300 million takeover collapse.
The project has been dubbed “serious and credible”, and Edwards took to Twitter to react to his reports thus:
The Premier League is yet to make a decision on PIF’s bid, with its Owners’ and Directors’ Test already entering into the third month, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be.
