The mere fact that journalists are even talking about potential times for when the takeover could go through should excite loads of members of the Toon faithful, especially as there have been some suggestions that it could go through as early as this week.

If the deal does happen, then it would end Mike Ashley’s reign of 13 years in the North East, as the new owners, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and spearheaded by businesswoman Amanda Staveley, would take over at the Magpies.
