Here’s how some supporters reacted to Newcastle’s club statement on social media:
@NUFCR2: What a pleasant surprise on a Thursday afternoon #NUFC
@CharIieBennett: Sums up 2020 perfectly the fact that I’m 100% behind Mike Ashley every step of the way
@NUFC360: Get in. We are coming for you @premierleague
@NUFCWuke: Does this mean I can purchase the cans?

Hide Ad@RBanerjee23: The @premierleague could have avoided all this mess if it had just been honest and fair. No other takeover was handled in the way #NUFC's was. There must be a solution.
@AdamBell1981: This is a very telling statement. Not convinced it will allow a takeover to proceed and it will certainly be a long drawn out procedure, but, this is a massive step in the right direction.
@NUFCNewsroom_: First time the club has commented on the matter, have a read.
@JakeJackmann: Mike Ashley really must hate the Premier League if he is communicating with the fan base…
