Two of the English giants, Manchester City and Newcastle United are owned by owners from UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Will Qatar takeover Liverpool?

“What I know about is that they set aside $8bn for this project. That money is there and ready to go. It will be burning a hole in their pocket.

What better way to respond than go to United’s biggest rivals down the road and throw all the money you were going to put into United into making them pay for that decision not to sell to you.”

However, whether the Merseysiders will be ready to accept the nation who have been violating human rights as their owners still remains a question.

An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
