Newcastle United will have no issues pushing through a sponsorship deal with Saudi Arabia based company Sela if they agree the £25million a season offer that is on the table.
United have been around the table with a number of worldwide brands after a bidding process got under way earlier this year as firms battle it out to become the new sponsors. The deal will be the biggest in club history with Fun 88 about to end their agreement one year early.
Despite suggestions of scrutiny, one of the country's leading sports lawyers Stephen Taylor Heath, head of sports law at JMW Solicitors, told Chronicle Live: "The first thing to appreciate with regards to Newcastle United’s potential deal with Sela is that this will not receive the same type of scrutiny the current owners of Newcastle United encountered from potentially taking ownership in the first place.
