    'HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN SAUDI ARABIA IS DIRE'

    Amnesty UK chief executive Sacha Deshmukh went on to say: "Under Mohammed Bin Salman, the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia remains dire - with government critics, women's rights campaigners, Shia activists and human defenders still being harassed and jailed, often after blatantly unfair trials.

    Human rights only now become an issue but not when the Middle East is getting the s**t bombed out of it and refugees being left to drown on boats.

    It's a death blow to them in the long-term. It will be very interesting to see how the football establishment reacts to this. I suspect CL will be expanded to top 6 teams in the eventuality United or Liverpool drop out of the top 4.

    Preservation of status quo. City's takeover was somewhat welcomed because it was an opportunity to take the Manchester Derby (a derby that nobody outside of Greater Manchester cared about) and grow it into one of the biggest fixtures in world sport.

    Newcastle takeover creates a massive problem for Sky and broadcasters because of all the top 4 teams - the position of their biggest cash cows (United and Liverpool) are the most vulnerable. City and Chelsea have better and more reliable ownership, once Klopp goes Liverpool won't be seeing top 4 with or without Newcastle. United are weaker than City even if Pep goes.

    100%. As usual it'll be changing to whatever suits them. There was no concept of "big 6" until Leicester won the league and they both dropped out the top 4 in 2015/16.
