Newcastle United fans are sceptical about a reported takeover by a Chinese consortium
Sky Sports claim a Chinese consortium and a number of international parties are all considering takeover bids following Newcastle’s promotion to the Premier League.
Current owner Mike Ashley has never been popular at St James’ Park but a season of stability under Rafael Benitez has increased his stock with supporters, creating uncertainty over any potential change of regime.
The report claims the 52-year-old is open to the idea of selling the club after previously trying to offload it twice, but fans are not convinced a takeover would be in the best interests of the north east outfit.
