The Daily Mirror's Simon Bird has covered Newcastle United since the earlier 2000s for the national newspaper, and spoke to host Andrew Musgrove about the imminent NUFC takeover.

While excited for the footballing future of the club under the ownership of Amanda Staveley, the Public Investment Fund and the Reuben Brothers, Bird doesn't want people to shy away from the well documented issues raised about Saudi Arabia.

This interview was recorded on Monday, 20th April.
