Reply to comment by MauricioPochettino in Breaking: Premier League clubs agree new rules that can see owners/directors disqualified for “human rights abuses, based on Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020” by dragon8811

Our owners don't qualify as human rights abusers according to the new law.

I mean obviously they are. But the Saudis are allies so the UK govt have no interest in sanctioning them.

It looks like nothing will happen there.

Out of curiosity why did you kot say Man City?

My thing with City is the shell corporations etc. that are on the books. Might be tougher to prove.

I'm sure Newcastle have done similar, but the publicity surrounding the sale, coupled with Kashoggi incident being so prevalent in western media makes me think they're an easy target.

If we're being honest, all of them will get off with a slap on the wrist anyway.
