Newcastle United Supporters Trust declare support from PM for Prem takeover statement | OneFootball

The Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) has declared British Prime Minister Boris Johnson supports their calls for the Premier League to provide a statement on the club's collapsed takeover.

Saudi Arabia's public investment fund (PIF) and a consortium of businessmen pulled out of a protracted £300million takeover at the end of last month, leaving the club's fans furious.

The PIF criticised the 'prolonged process' for their decision to walk away and the Premier League have refused to comment on the matter.

The NUST said on Twitter: "The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has today supported calls by the Independent Football Ombudsman asking the Premier League to make a statement regarding the takeover of Newcastle United.

"The PM stated, in an email of our members that ..'agree with their conclusion that the Premier League should make a statement on this case. I am pleased that the Ombudsman has committed to advising the Premier League to provide a statement"
