Luke Edwards says WTO report condemns Saudi Arabia in the strongest possible terms over piracy, doesn’t think it bodes well for the Newcastle United takeover

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers could soon learn about the fate of their bid to buy Newcastle United with the World Trade Organization expected to release their report on beoutQ today. It could have huge repercussions for the proposed £300 million Magpies takeover, and the Daily Telegraph’s Newcastle United correspondent Luke Edwards has shared what he has heard about the report on Twitter, claiming it doesn’t bode well:

A verdict from the Premier League is expected afterwards, and it’s safe to say that they have found themselves in a huge dilemma given that they frown against broadcast piracy.
