Adrian Chiles the latest to have his say on Saudi Arabia involvement at NUFC NUFC
Adrian Chiles, the celebrity West Brom fan, has been writing about Newcastle United.
He then went on to criticise the Saudi Arabian football league and its purchasing power via the PIF, then using the sportswashing term and referring to human rights and our awareness, or lack of awareness of it. I was not one hundred percent comfortable when the Saudi Arabia PIF takeover was first mooted, because of the human rights issues, but having enough personal knowledge of the history of the Middle East I felt I could handle criticism of us being majority owned by the Saudis. When issues of human rights and the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi were brought up by friends of mine, and then the term “Blood Money” thrown at us, well you need to know your stuff.
