THE sale of Newcastle could have moved a step closer last night after a group of Asian businessmen were shown around the club.
Press Association Sport understands the potential buyers, thought to be from Malaysia, were given a tour of the club's facilities yesterday and have since returned to London to continue discussions.
There was no official confirmation of the story last night, but with all interested parties having signed non-disclosure agreements, that came as no surprise.
But sources close to the club were not denying it either, and there is a growing feeling an end to a saga which has rumbled on for more than a month could be in sight.
The identity of the group remains unknown, as do those of most of the consortia who have expressed a serious interest in buying the club.
