Football fans excitedly wait for Vince McMahon to *finally* buy Newcastle United

Newcastle United are for sale again.

It was announced on Monday that, after a decade in charge, owner Mike Ashley is ready to sell up. Of course, it's not the first time Ashley has put the club up for sale. He did the same following fan protests in September 2008, taking it off the market in the December. When Newcastle were relegated from the Premier League at the end of that season, he attempted to sell the club again, abandoning his attempts to sell up for a second time several months later. This time, though, it seems the club really could be about to change hands. Completely ignoring the reports that financier Amanda Staveley is interested in buying them, many football fans reacted to the news by re-circulating rumours of a possible takeover by WWE CEO, VinceMcMahon. https://twitter.com/zsqprfc/status/919957183613325312 McMahon was bizarrely linked with a move to buy Newcastle several years back, although nobody really seems to know where or how the rumour started up. Predictably though, news that Ashley is once again awaiting offers has seen many tweet that McMahon may actually fancy becoming the new owner of the Northeast club. https://twitter.com/NiallAJT/status/919971774976143360 https://twitter.com/TheMasterBucks/status/919970481758810117 https://twitter.com/_MRPT_/status/919968671199629312 https://twitter.com/ReggiePenn/status/919967678508527616 https://twitter.com/gilmxn/status/919966815870210049 https://twitter.com/ThomasJeavons/status/919964370595143682 https://twitter.com/SirKJohno/status/919962251603439616 Hmm, could it actually happen? No. Of course it can't.
