Newcastle United takeover?

Because the "Middle East Backers" actively allow and encourage the theft of Premiership TV rights.

That's true but you can guarantee that had a Saudi consortium tried to pay MUFC or LFC they would have been waved through. What evidence do the PL have to block this takeover? Is it like the evidence they "don't" have to pursue their witchunt against City which dates back to a period before FFP was even implemented. Personally I think the TV rights issue is a smokescreen for the PL.

That's what Newcastle are asking too it seems.

Premier league want a global product, the Rags and Dippers boast about their worldwide fan base and then they all get pissed off when people overseas think they would like a slice of the pie, obviously not Americans but if the owner is a shade too dark then it's a big no-no.

And to think they bang the drum about racism

Yet they're not on the Premier league watch list for pirated TV.

Looking at the squad PSG has put together, it's probably for the best this got stopped. The Saudis make them look poor!

Perhaps Newcastle could instead get taken over by the Mexican Cartel as their crime families also have penchant for body parts and binbags. Fuck 'em.
