18 weeks ago Mike Ashley agreed a deal to sell Newcastle United to the Saudi Public Investment Fund. That deal is now seemingly off...
Did the Premier League bottle making the final decision by staying silent or were the new owners always likely to fail the Fit & Proper Person's Test anyway?
We look at the backstory of the potential new owners and why so many had reservations, Mike Ashley's tenure as Newcastle owner and why Geordies everywhere have been left feeling empty.

The quiz is 20 questions as usual broken down into two parts, the first 10 questions are on the whole season and the second 10 questions are all on what happened since the restart in GW30.

Very best of luck, let us know your scores, no spoilers please!

We look at the demise of Deportivo La Coruna, relegated to Spain's third tier and reminisce about a club that came from nowhere to threaten and often beat the established elite in Spain and gave us some wonderful Champions League memories.
How did the brand of 'Super Depor' come about and how did success come the way? And is there any chance the good times could return?

St Totteringham's Day is cancelled for the fourth year in a row. Does James feel like celebrating...? This Podcast centres around fan emotion and how fans feel about the status of their own clubs, this branches out from a debate of who is North London's biggest and why debating if one's club is bigger than the other is always something leads to denial within every football fan.
