Newcastle United: Fans welcoming Saudis 'a sickness' MP says
Newcastle United fans welcoming the Saudi-led takeover of The Club shows the " sickness at The Heart of football" according to an MP.
The Magpies were sold to a consortium on 7 October, leading to wild celebrations on Tyneside.
The Deal has been heavily criticised by groups such as Amnesty International .
SNP MP John Nicolson , who sits on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, said he felt for The Widow of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi .
He Said during a hearing: " I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to be Jamal Khashoggi 's widow, when Her Husband has been chopped up and murdered. . and she sees numpties dancing around in cod-Arabic dresses outside Newcastle United. That must be heart-rending.
" It made me, as an outsider watching it, think there was nobody who could have taken over That Club - no matter The Level of evil of the person who took over - That would have resulted in anything other than celebration for large numbers of Newcastle supporters.
" That 's a kind of sickness at The Heart of football, isn't it? "
Newcastle are now owned by a group led by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (Pif ).
A US intelligence report published in February concluded That Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman - The Chair of the Pif - had likely approved The Killing or capture of Mr Khashoggi at the country's consulate in Turkey in October 2018.
However, the Pif has given " legally binding" assurances, which have been accepted by the Premier League , That the Saudi state will have no control over The Club .
The Newcastle United Supporters' Trust has been contacted for comment.
Following the takeover, Amanda Staveley , who led the consortium and is now a Newcastle United director, told The Bbc her firm PCP Capital took concerns over Saudi Arabia 's Human Rights record " very seriously" but reiterated their partner was " not That Saudi state, it's Pif ".
When asked if This Was a case of " sportswashing" by Saudi Arabia , She Said : " No, not at all, this is very much about the Pif 's investment into a fantastic football team and we look forward to growing The Club . "
