Good news. Interestingly enough this was only considered after the Arabs entered the scene, such transfers kept happening from long before the Arabs nobody cared.
13-7 is interesting.
We can pretty much assume that City, Chelsea and Newcastle voted against.
Would also assume with United’s incoming owner also having ownership of Nice they probably voted against.
Still leaves 3 “against” clubs who are unknown.
I know FSG have looked at buying other clubs but haven’t as of yet, given the ban was temporary I don’t see any benefit for us to vote against.
Need Newcastle to sign Ronaldo, I believe he is still a great player.

I really hope we don’t go down the road of signing loan players from PIF owned clubs. Feels shady and underhanded and gives everyone who’s been rightfully questioning our owners another stick to beat the club with.
This doesn’t mean they won’t look to put something more permanent in place. A temporary measure was probably not favoured because of how reactionary and targeted it looked, also changing the rules halfway through a season is generally viewed in bad taste.
Premier league should just put it in
What should be done to differentiate between PIF loan deals and more developmental ones is that there should be a cap on the total wages of players loaned in, relative to their total wage package in their contract and the total wage budget of the club seeking the loan. So Newcastle can’t bring in PIF players on 900 grand a week, United can’t get loans from INEOS clubs to get around them being on the limit for FFP such as happened with Amrabat, etc.
Multi club ownership is its own conversation, but when it comes to loans, they need to be regulated with common sense and not just banned out of hand.
Independent regulator please
Might as well forget the restrictions on squad sizes now. Newcastle’s owners also own four clubs in Saudi Arabia so that is potentially 100 players they can call on if needed.
Good news for Newcastle fans
So glad this country keeps not winning shit it’s soo corrupt
Clubs shouldn’t have a vote in this, same with some VAR denials.
Good, this whole thing was ridiculous. I have no idea where this Newcastle loaning saudi players came from, there is zero indication we want to do that. There wouldnt really even be anynone we’d want…..maybe get Maxi back, i’d support that.
And other clubs have been doing it for years.
Can’t wait for glazers to bring in some players from tempa bay to bolster our back four.
