Malaysians in £80m bid for Newcastle United
A MYSTERY Malaysian consortium is understood to have stolen a march in the race to become new owners of crisis club Newcastle United.
The Chronicle understands that a bid in excess of £80m has been made by the group, who were given a full tour of St James's Park, the city and the training ground yesterday by managing director Derek Llambias. Mike Ashley was not present.
In a dramatic turn of events the group, who even dropped in to Shearer's Bar, made their way from the city to the training complex and then from Whitley Road to Benton Road to check out the club's Academy.
