Are you sure? I thought so as well but then I scrolled down a bit and realised it just kept going....
Well this in fun a whole thread about the Newcastle takeover and zero comments on the possible outcome of the legal action on the club if any.
NSC at its best.
I fully expect this to be settled before it reaches court and see it as just an opportunity to get more money for the former in owner.

It looks like Saudi lied about state ownership, so what will the Premier League do next?

What about the Daily Sport when it was around? At least the views were balanced - both from the left and the right, although I don’t think they had anything to do with politics.
If the EPL had done their due dilligence properly and the "fit and proper persons" test had been taken seriously, they could have found this out themselves and blocked the takeover by such a homophobic, misogynstic, corrupt and brutal regime.
That's his job! He just owns Newcastle in his spare time. They are completely separate.
Nothing. How can they do anything, there’s nothing in any law or legislation and now it’s done, it’s done.
The premier league were scared if it was blocked they’d have run off to Spain or France to spend that money instead
I wouldn't hold our breath waiting for anything the happen. The PL will love it for the "brand".

I can confirm that left and right in the Daily Sport were almost exactly the same sizeWhat about the Daily Sport when it was around? At least the views were balanced - both from the left and the right, although I don’t think they had anything to do with politics.

Umm ... let's think good and hard about this ........ nothing, maybe?
I would gladly have done a summary if the link had worked!
Could charge him for bringing the game into disrepute and impose a 40 pt penalty to each of the next 3 seasons.
That would be nice.
I wouldn't mind betting the EPL were coerced into accepting the Saudis and in return Boris would brush the independent report under the carpet thus avoiding an independent football regulator being appointed.
If so, that worked well!!

You have to remember, the Premier League is made up of 20 members, and 19 of those members did not want the Newcastle takeover to go through.
The Premier League actually tried quite hard to stop the takeover, including going to court.

The PL needs balls, big balls.
The clubs don’t get involved with takeovers. Richard Masters at the time signed it off.
