Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has refused to comment on whether there is a current investigation into the structure of Newcastle United’s ownership.
Appearing in front of a select committee at Westminster and in response to a question from Labour MP Clive Efford, Masters said he was unable to go into “regulatory issues” or “investigatory process.”
The query, during a two-part panel discussion on the governance of football, follows a recent court submission in the United States that casts doubt over the Toon owners’ links to the Saudi Arabian state.
