Hello and welcome to this Sky Sports Football podcast, where we will be examining the proposed takeover of Newcastle United and what that means for the future of the club.

We'll also be looking back at the story of the Mike Ashley era and why he proved to be such a divisive figure in the North East.

I'm Peter Smith, the Sky Sports Football Features editor, and I'm joined by a Sky Sports News reporter who always has his ear close to the ground at St James's Park. It's Keith Downey. Keith, how are you?

Yeah, not bad, thank you. My ear isn't very close to the ground these days because I'm a

few miles away from the stadium. It can't get anywhere close to it. But yeah, it's been an interesting lockdown so

far. It certainly kept us busy away from, without any football to focus on. We've obviously

had a fairly big story in these parts. So yeah, nice to be here. Great. And we've also got

former Newcastle centre back. Steve, how are you on the line?

Steve, how are you feeling?

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

Very good, Peter.

Looking forward to this.

Hopefully we can discuss a few things.
