Newcastle United’s takeover has had an air of uncertainty hanging over its head this week.
Firstly there were reports suggesting that there was fresh evidence submitted to the Premier League that raised question marks over their prospective Saudi owners and then secondly, an audacious claim was made that ten top-flight teams could group together to put a stop to the deal.
However, ChronicleLive’s chief writer Lee Ryder has provided the most encouraging update yet by pouring cold water on both those reports.
He wrote:
“There were understood to be no red flags raised when beIN Sport raised their concerns to the Premier League recently and the final stages of the test are now being processed.
“We understand the views of other clubs can’t influence the tests, especially at the process started over a month ago.”

The Magpies reporter suggests that they are now in the final stages of seeing the takeover being processed whilst also stating that clubs can’t object at this stage and that there have been “no red flags”.
