Mike Ashley has continued to leave Newcastle United’s fate in the hands of the Premier League, according to the Chronicle.
Newcastle have been waiting for approval on their potential takeover for some time now, with the lack of clarity causing concern with supporters around Tyneside.
Recent reports have suggested that Newcastle’s takeover could be delayed further, after even more new information was passed to the Premier League.
But Ashley has remained in the background over the deal, and isn’t pushing for a decision.
Newcastle’s current owner is said to be leaving everything to the Premier League, as he waits to see if his time on Tyneside is coming to an end.
Newcastle fans are largely hoping that Ashley won’t be in charge for too much longer.
Ashley has come in for fierce criticism during his time at St. James’ Park, and there is hope that under new owners Newcastle could become a force in the Premier League again.
