Nothing will be done. I suspect the Premier League knew exactly who'll own that club since day one, and that's the Saudi state. The PIF is a just a front, nothing more. The PL's only concern was to stop the illegal broadcasts of Premier League football in Saudi, not human rights concerns, not state ownership, just stop the piracy. The PL got the one thing they wanted and signed off on the deal.

Money talks. Our only hope is Steve Gibson and Ryan Reynolds.

Yep, of course they knew. Any notion that they weren't part of the Saudi state was laughable
