Newcastle United goes up for sale: The best memes

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.

He seemed happy with the news.

The news seems to have reached Ant and Dec too.

This neighbourhood policing team saw a reason to celebrate.

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.

A football supporter thinks Newcastle is worth just few quid.

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

Some fans certainly can't wait for Christmas.

A fan website shows Father Christmas in Newcastle colours.

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?

Could Vince McMahon make the move from wrestling to football?

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

No word from the wrestling world yet.
