It's been well documented recently the even the UK Government put pressure on the PL to approve the Newcastle takeover because the Saudi's threatened to hold back £30bn worth of investment into the UK if they didn't. When you read stuff like that, you realise it's much bigger than football.
I'm resigned to it, just hope regulations are tight enough to stop them from outright cheating. The outcome of the City charges will define how things move forward.
