Yasir Al-Rumayyan set to become Newcastle chairman as takeover announcement draws closer.
Checks could be completed in line for next week. How can the world be such a mess but after 13 years of absolute misery under Mike Ashley, Newcastle United are on the verge of becoming the richest club in world football.
Finer details are starting to appear. PIF looked at both Chelsea and Manchester United, not getting far with either inquiry. Amanda Staveley contacted them with a proposal of buying Newcastle United instead.
There's fear and speculating an announcement could be delayed to prevent a supporter mass gathering.
