  1. Saudi signing wave: What are the implications? Is it weakening the Premier League?

    I’m Saudi and I thought my perspective may be relevant to the discussion. First of all, I’m part of a very small minority here who only follow European football (only United matches really, don’t have much time for anything else) but I think I can speak about football community in Saudi...
  2. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)
