Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has filed a lawsuit against the Premier League and says it's time for "dark forces to step aside" regarding the club's takeover.
Ashley claims the Premier League blocked the £300m deal last summer and is seeking damages after the Saudi Arabian-backed deal collapsed.
Ashley also claimed the league breached competition law "by excluding new owners and new investment in clubs".
The Premier League has declined to comment.
Ashley is seeking damages for loss of "profit, or alternatively, opportunity" and an injunction for the Premier League to reverse its decision about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia being considered as a director of the club.
