Reports emerging in Russian Press hint at a possible £400m takeover at Newcastle United...

The source, "Коммерсант" (well, thats the best I can do!) which you can think of as the version of The Times, reported that the group that were going to take over AS Roma have now switched there attention to the Toon and are putting together a package.

The group (Russian billionaires, rumoured to have a grudge against Abramovich), were rumoured to be willing to put £400 million into Roma, but withdrew when the finacial police started taking an interest in the Italian club.

The story has only recently broke and I am waiting on the updates, but as I say, the source is often reliable. 

Anything we hear, will be reported!  Be patient!
