We had the debate around Abramovich yesterday so I'm not going to dig that one up again but on the Saudi side of football investment, you can kiss goodbye to regulation that stops that. Under normal circumstances, Newcastle's ownership, and any subsequent ownership of a PL team by a Saudi group, you'd think we'd turn them away in light of recent events. The truth is that there has been a political and geographical shift in where we now source our oil from. We've ceased trading with Russia and Saudi Arabia are next in line. I think Boris is negotiating as we speak.
With that in mind, you haven't got a hope in hell of seeing Saudi owners disappear from the Prem. If anything, this increases the chances of more involvement. Given the sale of Chelsea is now effectively in the government's hands and they're also negotiating for oil, I really wouldn't be surprised to see the Saudi Group interested in Chelsea suddenly stealing a march and winning the bid. There would be uproar, but I can see it happening.

Dont confuse the Government and the Premier League.
The horse may have bolted already with NUFC, but if the fit and proper test included a human rights element to it then that could exclude such future owners and while the Govt may not like it they could be seen to be pushing the PL into accepting owners who hold poor human rights records.

The PL is almost financially irrelevant compared to the economic power of oil contracts. There may well be new rules put in place but the PL will come under direct pressure from the government to allow certain deals through, maybe be guiding the interested party through certain loopholes that can be used to circumvent the rules.
The Government are every bit as corrupt as Abramovich. They were happy to take Russian money, and they are happily doing deals with the murderous Saudi Regime. They are about as hypocritical as they come. They have no morals.

Hopefully Russia will invade Ukraine, and the West will then seize all the assets of all the Russian Billionaires laundering their money through Football clubs, that would put paid to Abramovich and could bankrupt Chelsea.
