Members of the Wests Group have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposed takeover of the Newcastle Knights.
More than 13-and-a-half thousand members voted last week, with 93 per cent endorsing the outright ownership of the embattled NRL club.
Wests will now enter into an interim partnership with the NRL to undertake due diligence and finalise the board structure before taking the reigns of the club from November 1.
CEO, Phil Gardiner has described the outcome as a great vote of confidence in the Wests Group and a determination by members to make the Knights a successful brand once again.
