# Newcastle Fans React To Departing QPR Board Member

Newcastle United fans have [appeared in their numbers](https://twitter.com/jamiereuben/status/1319989269293838336) on the goodbye message from a departing QPR board member as Jamie Reuben parted ways with the Lonon club.

Reuben, who was replying to his departure announcement from QPR’s own [Twitter](https://twitter.com/QPR/status/1319964353148428289) has been [linked with a role on the board](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jamie-reuben-quits-qpr-what-19158075)of the Magpies, should the club complete the takeover that was seemingly [close to completion](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-takeover-news-live-claims-18463281) during the summer before [collapsing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53784557).

Now, with the current owner, Mike Ashley [reportedly](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mike-ashley-newcastle-takeover-lawyers-18929585) still keen on selling the club to the Saudi consortium and attempting to revive the deal, Reuben’s split from his former employers has certainly got Toon fans dreaming once more.

### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

After seeming dead in the water at one stage the potential £300m takeover rumbles on and as such Newcastle hopes can remain.

Judging by the reaction to even this small glimmer, most fans are willing to jump on anything as a positive sign the deal could well be back on the table.
