#Newcastle's £300million takeover by a Saudi Arabian consortium has finally been completed, bringing to an end Mike Ashley's controversial 14-year reign. The deal was stopped in its tracks by a piracy dispute between the Gulf state and its Premier #League broadcast partner beIN Sports, but that was settled earlier this week, paving the way for the takeover to be completed. And now the takeover has officially been announced, led by Saudi's Public Investment Fund (PIF), and including Amanda Staveley and the Reuben brothers.
