With every passing week, the delay in the Newcastle United takeover process is creating confusion as more information is coming out in the media.
Earlier today, BBC journalist Ian Dennis reported:
The WTO report says “should the Premier League approve the Newcastle takeover by KSA, it would be acting inconsistently with its own decisions and factual evidence as part of the WTO proceedings”.
The tweet has now been deleted.
Soon after, Tariq Panja of the New York Times has refuted such claims. He claims that the WTO itself has not weighed in on the Newcastle deal specifically.
