In other news, Newcastle owners look like they have dropped themselves in it and lied to the Premier league about their structure in a court case. Premier league have a rule saying a foreign state cant own or control a football club. A quote from the Times article about it The league allowed the 2021 takeover by the Saudi public investment fund (PIF) on the basis that it had received “legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle”. But documents submitted to a US court on behalf of the PIF earlier this month say that it should be regarded as “a foreign state”, and that it and Newcastle’s chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan — who also runs LIV — “are not ordinary third parties . . . they are a sovereign instrumentality of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a sitting minister of the Saudi government”. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/premier-league-chief-richard-masters-refuses-to-answer-newcastle-questions-jd62wws2g[/URL] Thats some hard evidence the Premier league are going to struggle to ignore. They clearly arent structured the way they said they were. Premier league really dont have a choice but to remove them. Probably will depend on how many brown paper bags end up at PL headquarters.
