Newcastle United fans have been warned not to get too excited about the rumoured 350million takeover from Dubai-based billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed.Late on Sunday it was claimed Khaleds Bin Zayed Group had agreed terms with Mike Ashley to end the Magpies owners turbulent 12 year spell in charge on Tyneside.
3However, there has been a growing sense of cynicism about the reports in the 24 hours since they first emerged.On Tuesday it was claimed the deal is not as close as originally reported and that Sheikh Khaled has not provided proof of funds for his proposed takeover.The Sheikh has previously failed in an attempt to buy Liverpool for 2billion, where he also failed to provide proof of funds.After four unsuccessful takeover bids in 11 years, Newcastle supporters are harbouring huge hopes that the time has finally come for Mike Ashley to leave their beloved club.But Craig Hope, North East football correspondentfor the Daily Mail, has told talkSPORT there is a huge amount of scepticism about whether the deal will happen.And there are even suggestions that Sheikh Khaled is not related to Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour, as he claims. Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White, Hope said: Whats that truth in this? As of yet, we dont know.Lets use the word caution or, if you want to be stronger, scepticism.When the story broke on Sunday night I thought, if a takeover was going to happen, this is how it should happen bang, overnight, papers in and the first we know about it is when its all-but done.So that had a very definite ring of truth around it.But we made various calls on Monday morning to check out the authenticity of it, and thats when one of two doubts began to emerge. Sources I trust who are close to the station started expressing extreme caution.We were told by sources around Manchester City that in fact there was no relation between Sheikh Khaled and Sheikh Mansour.
