Premier League clubs want to hold an extraordinary meeting
Doubts about the changes at Newcastle United also affected 19 other clubs Premier League. She told the Guardian that they want to hold an extraordinary meeting next week. The meeting will not be aimed at blocking the deal, because it is too late for this, but to get answers to the main questions that have not been forgotten.

Communication is also a problem, or rather the lack of it when completing a transaction. Management league Richard Masters and Gary Hoffman have received complaints from Premier League clubs that they have no idea a Newcastle United sale is underway. Although the club’s premiere took place in March 2020, it was withdrawn four months later due to doubts about the league and its clubs. And it seemed that the topic would not return, especially since it did not appear at the league’s shareholders meeting two weeks ago. Clubs learned of the deal on Wednesday from the media, and the league only confirmed the information in an official email Thursday after 5 p.m.
The acquisition of the club also sparked debate in the British Parliament. The opposition Labor Party criticized the deal over an ambiguous opinion about the new owners of Newcastle United. On the other hand, the government insists that since Britain is trading with Saudi Arabia, blocking the deal would be an anomaly.
