Newcastle United potential new owners may have received a major boost in their takeover plans.
According to widespread reports, the PCP Capital Partners are closing in on their £300m purchase of Newcastle United and they’ve already submitted a part payment to Mike Ashley, which is non-refundable.
All the major paperwork have been submitted and it is being currently reviewed by the Premier League. The remaining payment will be made once the Premier League gives the green signal for the takeover to go through.
Amanda Staveley and the Reuben family will each own 10 per cent of the business, with PIF holding the remaining 80 per cent.
