Richard Masters has been urged to act on Newcastle United supporters' concerns 'as a matter of priority' and Blaydon MP Liz Twist believes fans are being 'reasonable' in 'simply asking for transparency'.
Twist has been contacted by Newcastle supporters in her constituency after The Newcastle Consortium Supporters Limited (NCSL) put together a template of a letter for fans to email to their local MPs.
The letter asks for MPs' support in 'seeking expedition and transparency of Newcastle United's court case with the English Premier League to determine the owner's right to sell his club to a willing buyer'.
Newcastle confirmed last month that they have issued arbitration proceedings against the top-flight after the club's proposed takeover fell through last summer and the Magpies are pressing for a 'fair, full and timely hearing'.
Twist has now written a letter to Masters, the Premier League's chief executive, and the Blaydon MP believes supporters have 'every right to be appalled by the lack of transparency' from the top-flight.
'Further to my previous letter in relation to Newcastle United Football Club (NUFC), I have again received a huge amount of correspondence from fans of the club in my constituency,' Twist wrote.
'Fans are feeling deeply frustrated by the way their team are yet again being treated by the Premier League and I urge you to act on their concerns as a matter of priority.
'As you are aware, NUFC have a strong, loyal and committed fanbase who are extremely disappointed at the lack of courtesy or respect they have been shown throughout this ongoing saga.
'They are simply asking for transparency and in the interest of fair play, I think this is not only reasonable but also right and proper.
'I have attached the letter which I have received from fans and I would request urgent action to ensure a fair and transparent outcome both for the club and for the region, giving Newcastle United fans an opportunity to move on from the state of limbo which they have found themselves in for far too long.'
