Newcastle United supporters celebrated one year since the club’s takeover with a Wor Flags display ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Brentford at St James’s Park.
On October 7, 2021, Newcastle was sold by Mike Ashley to a consortium consisting of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media.
To celebrate the anniversary, the Wor Flags display mimmicked a Sky Sports News broadcast in the Gallowgate Stand.
The display also included a jibe at talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan, who was quoted as saying the takeover was ‘deader than a dead thing from dead land’ shortly before it was approved last year.
