I'm disappointed in the lack of jokes about the Saudi's and Steve Bruce's big fat head!
On a serious point, no state should be allowed to purchase a football club, let alone one as backwards as Saudi but football doesn't care. Maybe not to the same extent but there's been countless people and groups that shouldn't be allowed in football that have bought clubs and supporters of that club, on the whole, haven't cared who they are or what they did as long as they spent lots of money. Newcastle fans don't care about Mike Ashley's business practices at SD, why should they care about the Saudi's butchering a journo? And if the Saudi's were taking over another club, it would be the same with that set of fans too.
As I said right from the start, the only thing that was going to block this deal was the bein situation and it's no surprise that as soon as that was resolved the PL spread their legs.
