Premier League clubs to boycott Newcastle United’s interest in their players
Clubs playing in the Premier League are expected to refuse to do business with the wealthy Newcastle United because of concerns and unpleasant things that have surfaced about the club’s new owners.
Saudi Arabia has come in for huge criticism over allegations of human rights abuses. The allegations have included the new owners of Newcastle United. The Premier League clubs held an emergency meeting where they had to approve the takeover of the team by an investment fund.
It looks like Newcastle United is cleared of the charges. However, some concerns remain. As a result, many, if not all, of the top English league clubs do not want to do business with Newcastle United.
Newcastle United’s new coach Eddie Howe will be given a large amount of money to save his team in the Premier League. However, the question is whether he will find the right players when English clubs refuse to negotiate with Newcastle.
Aside from ethical concerns, Premier League clubs are also worried about Newcastle United’s great financial strength, which could be a problem in the future. Therefore, they will try to boycott their interest in their players so that the Magpies are relegated and not a threat in the top flight.
Newcastle United had Chelsea’s Barkley, Tottenham’s Winks, Manchester United’s Lingard and Burnley’s Tarkowski on their list of signings. If teams from England refuse to do business with Newcastle, they must look to Europe.
