Ashley indicated several months ago that he would be open to doing a deal if ultra-rich investors emerged to take the Magpies to the next financial level, and the 53-year-old has removed any ambiguity from the situation, effectively planting the For Sale signs on the St James’ Park turf.

Ashley has previously attempted to sell the club but with no success – two famous former players reacted to the news in their own way on social media.
