Kieran Maguire reveals Newcastle United view on blocking future Saudi takeovers
Newcastle United are more worried about Financial Fair Play than they are about restrictions to nation-states owning clubs.that it would actually be in the interest of Newcastle for the Premier League to introduce restrictions to sovereign wealth funds., leading Premier League clubs have asked the government to block nation-states from owning English football teams.
The UK government recently confirmed the imminent arrival of an independent football regulator, and clubs are pushing for nation-state regulation to be included. Newcastle United are owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, which shares strong ties with the Saudi government despite the Magpies insisting they are entirely separate.
Maguire explained that government intervention is unlikely and FFP regulations pose a bigger threat to Newcastle’s ownership than any possible nation-state restrictions.The PIF will be relaxed when it comes to any pressure being put on the Premier League to restrict sovereign wealth funds from acquiring Premier League clubs in futureIt could be argued that such restrictions would actually be in Newcastle’s interest as it increases the scarcity factor of investment by Saudi Arabia and PIF.
