18 months ago the Saudis were refused permission to buy Newcastle. The Premier League thought they were the top dog and could do what ever they wanted. They thought the Saudis would go away, they wouldn't and they didn't.
Clearly the PL realised that if the matter went to court as it was destined to, some very dirty stuff would come out into the open. They could not let that happen and so caved in. Yes we will hear how it has all changed but has it fuck. Its the same Saudis as before fronted by Stavely so nothing is different.
The question is what dirty secrets did they want desperately to keep from us ?
