Steve Howey sparks frenzy with claim Newcastle will announce new ownership this coming Wednesday. This would tie in with claims that Newcastle had indeed filed for a change of ownership pre Christmas.

Simon Jordan of Palace also claims a takeover is close.

Isn't really going to matter if a deal isn't struck whilst the window is still open. The teams capability to stay up is doubtful and its also doubtful there'll be anything left to sell if it doesn't get investment in January.
