Stillearly Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 A Newcastle United takeover has moved into its final stages after an investor group fronted by British businesswoman Amanda Staveley and led by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund reached a £300m agreement with Mike Ashley. If the takeover is approved by the Premier League, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund [PIF], which is directly controlled by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is expected to acquire an 80 per cent stake in the club. Staveley’s company, PCP Capital Partners, will take a 10 per cent shareholding. The remaining 10 per cent will be bought by the Reuben brothers, Simon and David, UK property developers and two of the richest men in the world with a net worth of around £18bn. A 31-page charge agreement lodged at Companies House on Tuesday lays the legal groundwork for the potential deal to be completed. The documents also suggest that Ashley will be loaning PCP Capital Partners £150m in an attempt to get an agreement over the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not surprise me in the slightest if we spent 200 million and still got relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fifa's chief doctor has warned against restarting the interrupted 2019-20 campaign and suggested governing bodies prepare for action next season instead. Michel d'Hooghe said "as a doctor" he would be "sceptical" about continuing leagues amid the coronavirus pandemic.
