‘Rightly so, well done Jamaal’ – Some NUFC fans react to what club skipper has told Ashley
According to the Mirror, Newcastle United skipper Jamaal Lascelles has spoken to club owner and chairman Mike Ashley on behalf of the other players asking for clarity over the club’s stalled takeover. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund wants to buy the St. James’ Park outfit in a £300 million deal that involves PCP Capital Partners owner Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers. However, the Magpies would-be owners are still waiting for the green light from the Premier League after almost 15 weeks of scrutiny by their legal team. Newcastle boss Steve Bruce and the players want clarity over the club’s ownership status, but Ashley hasn’t spoken with him about it and has also blocked PIF and co. from reaching out to him. Lascelles’ decision to reach out to the Sports Direct owner has p...

‘This week’ – Mick Quinn expecting ‘some good news’ about the Newcastle takeover
Newcastle United were dumped out of the F.A Cup by Manchester City yesterday, with goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling handing the Magpies a 2-0 defeat in the quarterfinals. Steve Bruce’s men had a chance to draw level while they were still a goal down, but Dwight Gayle couldn’t convert a fine chance, and they were punished almost immediately at the other end. The gulf in quality between Newcastle and Man. City was glaring yesterday, but both teams could be challenging for the Premier League title in a couple of years if Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund completes a £300 million takeover of the St. James’ Park outfit.

10 goals this season: Everton and Newcastle make enquiries for 24-yr-old attacker
Newcastle and Everton are thought to be looking at the AS Roma striker Patrik Schick this summer. The 24-year-old has had an impressive loan spell in Germany with RB Leipzig and he has scored 10 goals for them despite not starting too often. Roma are keen to cash in on the player and the two Premier League clubs have now made enquiries to sign him according to Il Messaggero. It will be interesting to see if they follow that up with an offer now. Schick could prove to be a very useful option for both teams. Everton need more depth in their attack and the 24-year-old could be the ideal partner for Calvert-Lewin. As for Newcastle, they are in desperate need of a reliable goalscorer. Joelinton has had a poor season and the Magpies cannot afford to go into another season with him as their first...
‘There’s not much we can do’ – Steve Bruce provides an update on Newcastle ace’s future

However, the player has not signed an extension yet. Manager Steve Bruce has now confirmed that Longstaff’s future is in his own hands now. Bruce claims that the club has made him a ‘wonderful’ offer and the player has reportedly turned it down. He said to Sky Sports: “The ball is in Matty’s hands. I’ve gone public with it; I think we’ve made him a wonderful offer and for me, it should be his way forward in his career. Being a Newcastle lad and having the season he’s just had, it’s his way forward. Of course, we would all love him to stay but, as young as he is, it’s his prerogative. If players want t...
Bruce says it ‘would be terrific’ to have a player like 28-yr-old who has 11 goals & 18 assists
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has heaped praise on Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. He also joked that it would be terrific to have a player like that in his team one day. Bruce said (quotes via Chronicle): “Let’s hope he gets fed up with Man City and comes and gives us a hand! That would be terrific one day to have that sort of quality. He is a wonderful, wonderful player who has that bit of humility about him as well.” De Bruyne has been one of the best players in the world ever since his move to Manchester City. He has been in sublime form this season as well. The Belgian has produced 11 goals and 18 assists in all competitions so far. Newcastle take on Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final this weekend and Bruce hailed De Bruyne’s quality during his pre-ma...
‘Direct dealings with the sellers’: George Caulkin provides latest update on Newcastle takeover

To what effect is ‘the club’ involved in the dealing process as some journalists like Duncan Castles has claimed that Newcastle, the club, are not confident of it going through.

Newcastle United host Manchester City tomorrow in the F.A Cup quarter-finals and both teams will be looking to book a place in the semi-finals. The Magpies boss Steve Bruce hopes to lead his side to silverware, and this could be his only chance to do so with his future at St. James’ Park uncertain due to a possible £300 million takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Pep Guardiola’s side remain favourites ahead of the clash, but former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch is hoping that Newcastle can cause an upset.

George Caulkin: NUFC prospective new owners kept tabs on 6ft 4in goalie
According to The Athletic’s George Caulkin, Newcastle United’s prospective new owners kept tabs on Dan Rose before he joined Schalke 04 from Everton. The 16-year-old goalkeeper rejected the Toffees’ three-year professional contract to sign with the German outfit as a free agent. The Magpies and Barcelona were also keen on Rose, but he only wanted to move to Schalke as he believes the club can help him become the best goalkeeper on the planet. Rose will become the first non-German youth goalkeeper at Schalke and their first-ever English/Irish youth player. The teenager was with Everton U18s last term but wasn’t able to make any appearance as he was behind Jack Barrett, Jack McIntyre and Zan-Luk Leban in the pecking order. The would-be Newcastle owners wouldn’t be gutted to have missed out o...
