Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has taken aim at Newcastle United's ownership by claiming his Reds side cannot compete with the likes of the Magpies, Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain.
It is no secret that the three clubs Klopp mentions are all gulf state owned. Newcastle are Saudi Arabian owned, while City and PSG are backed by the United Arab Emirates and Qatar respectively.
The resources available to these three clubs pale in comparison to the rest of Europe. When Newcastle were bought by PIF this time last year, it moved the club into a different stratosphere with regard to their finances.
