Newcastle United's proposed takeover appears to be back on the table. Talks initially broke down after a Peter Kenyon led consortium failed to find £300m, however the ex-Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive has sent a letter to owner Mike Ashley assuring him of his desire to resume proceedings.
This will be music to the ears of Newcastle fans, who are desperate for Ashley to sell on if he refuses to invest more money in the club. Ashley has owned the club since 2007, but tensions between him and the club's fans have been high for a number of years.
