Interesting, it's announced a week after #SundayTimes named the owner of #DAZN as the richest man in the UK (again)!
That rich list is an good starting point to explore

Excited to hear what @nufctrust, @IanMearnsMP, @mercan_resifi (Hatice Cengiz), @GhanemAlmasarir, Jameela Khan from @AmnestyUK, @stevewraith, Steve Hastie and many @NUFC fans have to say
Newcastle United is the beating heart of our city. It is part of our heritage,our culture, our economy, our future. You shouldn’t have to be a billionaire to have your say in the future of the club @ChiOnwurah said kicking it off
