Will we ever find out whether Newcastle United will be purchased by the Saudi Royal Family?

It now appears that this saga has been going on since time began. Every time we appear close to an outcome, a new obstacle comes and stands in the way of an easy resolution – of course, the main issue at the moment is the piracy debacle that has put the prospective buyers under incredible pressure.

It seems that some of those in parliament think it is enough to stop the deal going through altogether. MP Angus MacNeil has written a letter to trade secretary Liz Truss in which he has labelled the actions of the Saudi government as an “insult” to the United Kingdom, and has complained that the British government has not done enough, leaving the decision up to the Premier League.

This has attracted plenty of attention from the Newcastle supporters, as you would imagine, and they are far from happy – obviously, any opposition to the takeover will meet their wrath. They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
