The era of Mike Ashley at Newcastle United is officially over after his exit was authorised on Companies House.
The takeover of the Magpies was completed and announced last month but the documents have now all been formally completed on Companies House to mark the end of his 14-year reign at St. James’ Park.
A Saudi Arabian based consortium consisting of the Public Investment Fund, Amanda Staveley and the Reuben brothers are the group who have ended Newcastle fans’ nightmare after a long 18-month period of talks.
