Newcastle United's takeover is still yet to be given the green light by the Premier League, but could this be the week it finally gets announced?The Telegraph's Luke Edwards delivered a cryptic five-word message to fans on Twitter this morning that hints that it could indeed be happening, he said:

It is now the seventh week since reports first emerged claiming that current Magpies owner Mike Ashley was prepared to sell the club for £300m to PCP Partners' Amanda Staveley and her Saudi-backed consortium.

The Middle East country's public investment fund is set to claim 80% of the ownership with the remaining 20% being split equally between Staveley and the Reuben brothers.

Spot the fact from the fib: Are these Premier League records true or false?

 

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

Arguably, United is one of the few remaining sleeping giants in English football given their history and now they are set for a very wealthy new era that'll finally bring joy to many in the northeast.
