You do realise the the Premier League tried to stop the Saudis taking over at Newcastle? Delayed it all out, did what they could… Until the government stepped in and pushed it through? It’s fucked mate, utter fucked, it’s much more deeply fucked than we’d like to admit. Who is going to come skipping along and save football and these clubs from despotic regimes? Certainly not the UK government, as we have seen, so who? FIFA? One of the most corrupt sporting organisations on the planet? Absolutely no chance, they’re too busy awarding world cups to these places…
