The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport has asked the Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters about the Newcastle United takeover this morning.
It’s been almost 14 weeks since the EPL legal team started carrying out the Owners’ and Directors’ Test on Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and it doesn’t appear that a verdict will be reached anytime soon.
PIF, alongside PCP Capital Partners and the Reuben Brothers, want to own the St. James’ Park outfit in a £300 million move, but Saudis’ piracy links have prevented the takeover from going through.
