Newcastle United takeover timeline: Everything that has happened so far

Saudi crown prince asked Boris Johnson to intervene in Newcastle United bid

Last modified on Thu 15 Apr 2021 14.47 EDT The Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, warned Boris Johnson in a text message that UK-Saudi Arabian relations would be damaged if the British government failed to intervene to “correct” the Premier League’s “wrong” decision not to allow a £300m takeover of Newcastle United last year. Johnson asked Edward Lister, his special envoy for the Gulf, to take up the issue, and Lord Lister reportedly told the prime minister: “I’m on the case.

Boris Johnson insists he did not intervene in NUFC takeover bid - but asked top aide to take a look

Boris Johnson lobbied by Saudi prince

Boris Johnson intervened in a Saudi bid to buy a top English football club after he was personally lobbied by its crown prince. Mohammed Bin Salman urged him to 'correct and reconsider' a 'wrong' decision by the Premier League, which was accused of blocking a £300million takeover of Newcastle United, it emerged last night.  The angry crown prince warned the Prime Minister last year that Anglo-Saudi relations would be damaged unless it was reversed. Mr Johnson asked senior No10 aide Lord Eddie Lister, a Middle East expert, to take up the complaint. Lord Lister said he would 'investigate'. The Saudis withdrew from the Newcastle deal last July – blaming the Premier League – to the fury of fans convinced the wealthy Middle Eastern state's investment could bring them new success.
