Us papers reveal Newcastles owners are a state


Oh dear <laugh>
Like we werent 99% positive that was the case anyway.
The Saudi government own Newcastle FC in all but name.
All of the consortium members are royal advisors or "ministers" and the money they used to buy the club was appropriated from some poor schmucks by the Saudi state and given to the consortium.

Yeah......US court papers trying to defend a US company against a Saudi company.......Shock, horror.

FWIW the only issue at the time regarding weather it was a state or not had more to do with the piracy issue of BeIN than anything else. That was dealt with and they now own a massive part of BeIN.

The US court threw that excuse out the window cos the PIF governor isn't a minister at all. They just are saying he is in court

It makes no ****ing difference really. I dont know what the fuss is about.
Ok the Saudi government own Newcastle, what are they gonna do? Start spreading anti-humane propaganda and take over Newcastle under a fascist regime?
