Thomas Tuchel insists Chelsea must 'trust the process of the league to control who owns a club', as the fallout from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's sanctions continues... and Newcastle boss Eddie Howe REFUSES to answer questions on Saudi execution

Thomas Tuchel wants the Premier League to clarify their owners and directors test as the Chelsea boss continues to face difficult questions regarding owner Roman Abramovich’s Stamford Bridge regime.

The build-up to the Blues’ victory over Newcastle yesterday was dominated by negativity surrounding the owners of both clubs.

Chelsea’s soon-to-be-disposed owner Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK Government last week due to his connections with Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Likewise, the controversy over Newcastle’s Saudi takeover were inflamed over the weekend as news emerged that 81 men were executed in the Islamic state under terrorism and murder offences.
