With every passing week, the delay in the Newcastle United takeover process is creating confusion as more information is coming out in the media.
Despite agreeing a £300m deal back in April with Mike Ashley, the potential new owners are yet to get the green signal from the Premier League.
The would-be new owners are pretty relaxed about the situation, but even they didn’t imagine that it would still be an ongoing process while the Premier League is set for a restart.
The potential new owners – the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Reuben Brothers and PCP Capital Partners – have already paid a part-payment in the region of £17m which is non-refundable.
