He also claims that sources suggest this new information is “critical” to the owners and directors test and will subsequently cause a delay to the whole process.
Hope tweeted the following:
On Monday afternoon, the top-flight met to discuss ‘Project Restart’ which is another reason why the Magpies’ takeover was taking so long and now these fresh claims will only increase doubt amongst the fanbase.
It remains to be seen whether the evidence will bolster the prospective owners’ case or not, but if true, supporters at St James’ Park will need to wait a little while longer to witness the dawn of a new era.
