Former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is suing the club in a legal battle over £1.533 million worth of next season's kit. Ashley accuses the club of abusing its dominant market position by not allowing Sports Direct to sell the Adidas kit for 2024-25. The row has escalated to regulators and an injunction is being sought. Meanwhile, Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley faces a £3.4 million payment to a Greek shipping tycoon following a court ruling. Staveley intends to appeal the decision before the April 22 deadline.
