McMahon’s Toon swoop
STEVE MCMAHON insists Mike Ashley’s days at St James’ Park are numbered with Singapore-based consortium Profitable Group hoping to take over Newcastle United next week.
Former Liverpool and England midfielder McMahon says his group have offered just short of Ashley’s £100 million asking price.
McMahon said: “We’ve made a realistic offer. The money’s in place and we are for real. We’re just waiting to hear. We want to get things done and dusted as quickly as possible.”
McMahon’s group want Alan Shearer to return as manager with £15m available for transfers.
