According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle United staff are preparing for a change in ownership despite Mike Ashley’s silence on the latest takeover links.
The Magpies chairman has finally agreed to sell the club, with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund edging closer to completing a £300 million takeover, but he is yet to comment publicly on it.
Nevertheless, the staff, some of which were furloughed at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic are looking forward to his exit, with loan manager Shola Ameobi commenting on the prospective change in ownership last week.
