This was in response to an article from ChronicleLive, which relayed comments made by Given on the proposed takeover in the North East.
As per Sky Sports (via ChronicleLive), the ex-Irish international said that it would be great for the Premier League if the deal were to go through, adding that if they have a strong team on the pitch in their home ground, it would be a very tough afternoon or night for the opposition.
Given also claimed that Magpies have had enough of Mike Ashley and admitted that it is exciting times for NUFC supporters.
