Newcastle fans rally outside the stadium as new owner confirmed
Newcastle, with Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the helm, are daring to dream big. And reports claim they could now raid Manchester United for four of their players now they’re flushed with cash. The Mike Ashley era is no more, with the Toon now one of the richest clubs on the entire planet.
On Thursday, it was confirmed that Newcastle were under new ownership.
A Premier League statement said: "The Premier League, Newcastle United Football Club and St James Holdings Limited have today settled the dispute over the takeover of the club by the consortium of PIF, PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media.
"The legal disputes concerned which entities would own and/or have the ability to control the club following the takeover. All parties have agreed the settlement is necessary to end the long uncertainty for fans over the club's ownership.
"The Premier League has now received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United Football Club.
"All parties are pleased to have concluded this process which gives certainty and clarity to Newcastle United Football Club and their fans."

Newcastle may also go after Eric Bailly to tighten up their defence, with the Ivory Coast international currently down in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pecking order.
Jesse Lingard is named as a potential third target, despite Solskjaer’s determination to keep the England international.
And the publication also suggests Newcastle would be interested in Donny van de Beek, too.
Van de Beek has struggled during his time in England so far, being limited to just four Premier League starts.
