Amnesty International has spoken about about this and has asked the Premium League to see whether the consortium will meet the owners' and directors' test. Will the PL let it go through now that a high profile organisation is questioning it?

As with most things in football, if youre throwing money at people they don't care where it comes from. The entire sport has absolutely no shame, as they've demonstrated time and time again.
BeIn Sports came out against this as well. But that doesn't have much meaning as their Qatar. This is just wrong. As it would be if it were Qatar buying the club. As it was when Qatar won the WC. But this isnt about Qatar. You cannot allow an owner that is effectively an arm of a massive royal family that partakes in human right violations, terror funding, the minimalization of women and the killing and dismembering of someone who criticizes them. Fuck the Premier League and fuck Mike Ashley for selling to them.
Saudi Arabian Royal Family vs the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund. The winner gets to successfully cover up their crimes abasing humanity! Jumpers for goalposts.
well rupert murdoch killed journalism i general. but I guess he's australian.Well i dont believe an English billionaire ever had a journalist killed and dismembered inside a consulate for criticizing him
It would be if saudi hadn't just sold off the oil company for $1.2trn.
If this goes through the arrogance of the geordies will be over and above anything we have seen before. let us remember that this is a fan-base that already believes they are a big club.
I think they'll even top themCould only be beaten by Spam.

They‘ve already started and the takeover isn’t even complete.
Can’t see how this is in anyway positive for the league. If the owners decide to do a Man City / Chelsea that’s another spot at the top gone. I know Chelsea have spent 1 or 2 seasons out of the top 4, but they’ve been up there more often than not.
In 5 years time you could have, us, Arsenal, Utd, City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle fighting for a Top 4 spot and thats not even counting Leicester who have created a tidy side. I like how the league is competitive but adding another club that are likely to buy titles isn‘t gonna be great to watch, unless you’re a neutral.
Only in 16/17. When they finished 6th and won the CL they finished 3rd the next season.Didn't Chelsea come back and win the league both times?
You could add Everton to the list below, their owners are rich too.
