Shes currently playing in the battle of the brits at roehampton. Another tournament being staged behind closed doors.

Lets return to our top story this evening, the collapse of the deal to buy newcastle united. Our Sports CorrespondentKatie Gornall is outside St James Park for us. And katie, at the heart of this are the fans, and they are going to be hugely frustrated once again this evening . You are right holly it is a hammer blow for the fans dreaming not just of the end of mike ashleys 3o 13 year reign but also the opportunity to be one of the richest clubs in the world, they allow themselves to think about some of the worlds best players and competed with the top clu bs players and competed with the top clubs in europe. If you live around here as i do it is all newcastle fa ns here as i do it is all newcastle fans have spoken about for the past four months. They have had the champagne on ice, beers in the fridge ready to celebrate and i think the longer that this dragged
on, the more the premier league scrutinise that deal, the more fears grew that this potential could happen but it has certainly been an emotionally draining p for newcastle fa ns emotionally draining p for newcastle fans and we spoke to a few of them. Been expecting it but it is been dragging on for so long. Nothing is a given at newcastle, and expect the worst and hope for the best. In the back of my mind, i wasnt going to. With mike ashley things always fall through. My dad and boyfriend wa nted fall through. My dad and boyfriend wanted it to happen, they secretly do you think the saudis would be a negative influence and it is not great for the game overall. I think some of those newcastle fans not looking forward to the new season not looking forward to the new season in the way that they might have been really facet there is potentially some hope in the form of a potential american takeover that i mentioned earlier but in terms of what next . For steve bruce he has to focus on the transfer window and who
knows what funds will be available to him given the hit that mike Ashley Posner business has taken as a result of covid and the pandemic. He does at least have clarity, the fa ns he does at least have clarity, the fans have clarity although it is certainly not the answer they wouldve wanted holly. Frustrating for everyone. Thank you katie. Theres more reaction to that story on the bbc website. But for now thats all from sportsday. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Goodnight.
