BREAKING: Amanda Staveley makes her move to complete NUFC takeover - confirmed by club sources
Some breaking news in the last few moments with Sky Sports and club sources at NUFC confirming that Amanda Staveley and PCP Partners HAVE now launched a £300m bid to buy Newcastle United football club from Mike Ashley.
This comes as HUGE news for the club, breaking the unbearable silence after we've waited several weeks for Staveley and co. to lauch an official bid following the due-diligence phase of the takeover.

Before we get too excited, we must remember that Mike Ashley must still accept this bid, but it is a massive boost to see Staveley and PCP Partners finally lodge an official offer after weeks of speculation and hope.
Interestingly, Sky News report that Staveley and PCP Partners now hope to get 'exclusivity on talks this week' in an attempt to get the takeover wrapped up before Christmas.
While we await Ashley's response, here's some reasons why he might just accept the offer:
