"If it isn't confirmed today, don't be a bunch of stupid t***s and attack. It'd be no one's fault but your own."
And a further fan said: "Olivier Bernard confirming the takeover would be peak Newcastle United."
However, some supporters are hoping the Frenchman has the inside scoop.
"Please announce the Newcastle takeover today #NUFC #NUFCTakeover," one person wrote.

Bernard sparked the excitement when he spoke to Football Matters.
"The takeover is dragging far too long even though today [Monday] I heard it was happening tomorrow, but I hope it's happening tomorrow," he said.
"I've had enough of it. It starts to build and then always they put it back, put it back, put it back but hopefully tomorrow it will be official.
"I think it will be announced tomorrow [Tuesday] sometime.
"I believe it's been going on for far too long and day by day, you've got Sunderland fans being happier by the day so we need to make sure we take the smile away from their faces."
