English Premier League clubs are in turmoil after a Saudi Arabia-led consortium took over Newcastle United, ending the previous owner Mike Ashley's 14-year-old ownership of the club. The clubs are angry that the Premier League, which had told them a few weeks back that the matter -- stuck in a legal battle for months --will be settled in January, easily agreed to the takeover of Newcastle by a consortium with close links to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), without consulting them.
