Guess who’s back, back again, Freddy’s back, Newcastle to get f***** again?

The soap opera saga of Newcastle United has taken yet another turn as it has emerged that former Chairman Freddy Shephard has made a £60 million bid to regain control of Newcastle United from Mike Ashley.

Shephard is said to be fronting a consortium to regain control of the club he left two years ago and is trying to negotiate a knockdown price with the now desperate Ashley.
