Mike Ashley has put Newcastle United up for sale (again), and the internet hasn't disappointed with its meme-themed responses to the news.

The Sports Direct boss says he wants a deal done by Christmas, ending his complicated relationship with the club.

His 10-year stint has seen them get relegated twice from the Premier League, and many have protested over the way he ran things.

We'll let club legend Alan Shearer kick things off.

Newcastle have finished in the top half of the Premier League in only two seasons since Mike Ashley bought the club.

One football fan is convinced he can get a bargain.

They may have to fork out a little bit more though, especially given that Mike Ashley coughed up 拢134.4m in July 2007.

Some fans certainly can't wait for Christmas.

One supporter is already thinking of who could be next and whether WWE boss Vince McMahon might make a bid.

He was linked to buying the club a few years ago. Maybe it's finally his time?

Businesswoman Amanda Staveley is reportedly the favourite. She has connections with investors in Middle East.
