The sheer hypocrisy of insisting that EPL players “take the knee” to end racism seems a tad rich given the fact they have allowed, Saudi Arabia’s powerful and precocious Crown Prince to become the de facto owner of Newcastle United Football Club.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in his former role of Saudi Arabia’s defence minister initiated what has since become a six year long bombing campaign to halt the progress of Yemen’s Shia Houthi militias. Now globally regarded for what it is, a merciless pushback against the Shia via an inhumane war in Yemen, it is difficult to comprehend how the EPL hierarchy have allowed such a takeover to happen. .............................................
I think that the word you are looking for as far as the PL hierarchy is concerned, BT, is -----------MONEY!
We can only surmise what has transpired since this takeover was first mooted.
