Can the WWE boss afford to buy Newcastle?

McMahon was linked to a big-money takeover of the Toon in 2017.

If Newcastle are worth the £300m fee being mooted for their takeover then the WWE tsar can easily afford to snap buy the club.

McMahon is a fierce negotiator and will no doubt be battling to get the figure down with every trick in the business handbook.

What sort of a boss is Vince McMahon?

McMahon has made a long and fruitful career out of controlling some of the biggest and volatile men in wrestling history.

This year alone he had his forehead split open during a fight with WWE star Kevin Owen, so he still does whatever is best for business.

McMahon has laid waste to all of his rivals or simply bought them out and he would bring fireworks to any Premier League directors’ box.
