Yup and this will be their main concern.

I'm sure (assuming it goes ahead) that Prem will be rubbing their hands with glee and patting each others back:

- Massive money for TV rights from Saudia's.
- Massive money into another prem club getting even more exposure into Middle East.
- Competitive Newcastle Utd, which benefits them internally and in Europe.
- Politically, they can say to Govt. Look what we've done, getting extra money poured into the North-East.
- World Trade Bodies and the like, they can say they took a strong line and look how it's paid off.

Aye - could be right G75, played a blinder.
