[OFF THE POST] Newcastle United has denied reports that the Saudi Binladen Group (SBG), a multinational construction conglomerate whose chief executive is
Osama Bin Laden's half-brother
Bakr Bin Laden, has made a $600 million bid for the English Premier League team.
"It is absolute nonsense," a Newcastle spokesman told the Times of London.
After news of the possible deal surfaced, SBG reiterated that it has severed all ties with the FBI's most wanted terrorist.
The Al-Qaeda leader is widely rumored to be an Arsenal supporter.
