Sam Allardyces Newcastle future will be thrown into doubt once
again in the New Year amid a £200millon takeover battle for the
club.
A mystery Singapore consortium is on the verge of launching a
megabucks bid to buy out the Magpies current owner, Mike
Ashley.
And if the deal goes ahead, manager Allardyce will be facing
another uncertain time under his third set of owners since arriving
at St James Park.
Though Ashley insists he has no plans to sell the Premier League
strugglers just six months after buying it for £170m, the signs are
he is ready to listen to serious offers.
And, after such a torrid start to his reign, the loaded retail
sports magnate, worth £1.9billion, may well find the interest from
Singapore too tempting.
