PL clubs have voted to temporarily block teams agreeing lucrative sponsorship deals linked to a club's owners after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover of Newcastle.
18 clubs voted in favour of the ban at an emergency meeting on Monday.
Newcastle voted against and Manchester City abstained, with both questioning the legality of the move.
It means a temporary one-month ban on deals linked to club owners while the issue is debated further.
That prevents Newcastle signing sponsorship deals with companies linked to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns 80% of the club.

Suspect if they were safely in the Top 6 this would not be an issue but the bottom half clubs want them in the relegation scrap and the top half don’t want them challenging.

Think we are safe with MB.
the one factor that I don't think the new owners will concede to is total control of the on field team to MB. People with billions of dollars normally have egos to match the money. it would be one short coaching stint if MB relented and went with them.

Don’t think he will go there for two main reasons.
1. He hasn’t finished what he wants to do here and seems to have an uncommon sense of loyalty to the players and their progress.
2. He only joins clubs where he is happy that he will fit in - he turned down West Ham when they were in the Prem and did a lot of background due diligence on us before joining us.
He could leave at any time but not for that reason. Would be hilarious if Klopp jumped ship for the £££&£
