    Apparently MA is being advised by Dentons in relation to this sale. Pinsent Mason have had previous dealings with MA though as I think they advised him when he purchased NUFC.

    It means that Ashley is on the verge of doing one.

    A lot further forward. In 2007 when Ashley took over, St James Holdings was set up on the 21st....takeover completed on the 23rd.

    Is the Sports Direct signage actually being removed from St James Park today?

    Apparently. People have said it was for cleaning, but with this afternoons developments, who knows? Also, seats are being replaced in the directors box.

    I dont pretend to understand these things but could this not be a business opened that is basically his attempt at taking over rather than a business that has opened as a result of any takeover?

    These types of company are normally set up to facilitate a takeover. It is similar to St James Holdings which was set up in 2007 when Ashley bought us.

    Interestingly, Pinsent Mason have offices in Dubai and they were Ashley's lawyers when he bought us.

    It would be a business opened to act as a vehicle to facilitate the takeover. They are positioning themselves to aquire the shares to own NUFC. If genuine.

    If it's anything like property purchase you are NOT allowed to use the same firm as the other as its a conflict of interest so I'd see this as a good sign, they are using one of Ashley's preferred lawyers.

    The other name that appears on the document is Mihat Kidwai of the Bin Zayed Group, who issued statements to the wider media last week
