An update from The Evening Chronicle’s Mark Douglas has Newcastle fans worried that the potential takeover of the club is in jeopardy.

Since The Sun claimed Newcastle had been officially sold to Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan, there have been hundreds of conflicting reports and rumours regarding a takeover bid.

The Sun seem to have massively jumped the gun by saying the sale was all but done, but a statement released by the Bin Zayed group this week suggests the wheels are in motion.

And reports out of the Middle East had fans excited during the week, claiming that Friday would bring big news to Tyneside.

Douglas though, who is the publishing editor for The Chronicle, has quashed the reports of a big breakthrough on Friday with one simple tweet.

Fans are now fretting over the validity of the reports on the takeover in general, especially due to the fact that the entire ordeal is wasting the final days of Rafael Benitez’s contract with the club.
