Gateshead has a new ownership group after Flacks Group, a US-based private investment firm, finalized its takeover of the National League club, according to Yahoo Sports. The deal brings fresh financial backing to a side that had been described as troubled before the change in ownership.

The takeover marks the latest example of American capital moving into English football beyond the Premier League and Championship, reaching deeper into the non-league pyramid. Details on the size of the investment or the club's prior financial struggles were not disclosed in the report.

For Gateshead supporters, the completed deal offers reassurance that the club will continue operating after a period of uncertainty, though specifics about future plans for the team were not included in the available reporting.
