Premier League clubs will write to the league to voice their frustrations after a US court document described Newcastle chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan as "a sitting minister of the Saudi government"
As per, The Guardian, English top-flight clubs have been left concerned by the revelation, keen to discuss the matter during the next shareholders’ meeting, which is due to take place at the end of the month. The document brings up further queries as to the true gulf in separation between the Saudi state and the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
PIF, which is governed by Rumayyan, bought an 80% stake in the Magpies back in October 2021 after Mike Ashley finally decided to sell following a turbulent 14 years in Tyneside. When the deal to buy Newcastle had gone through, the 19 other Premier League clubs requested an emergency meeting in an attempt to understand the reasons that it had been approved.
