The Club-Estate controversy is still a thing in the UK government. 

Since the arrival of arab investors that have purchased traditional english clubs like Manchester City, owned by Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment, and NewCastle purchased by the Saudi Arabia's Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, has been a controversy topic for the last few months because of the whereabouts of the financial incomes of each team.

Many other club owners and leagues from other countries, like La Liga, had protested against this Estate-Clubs like Manchester City, NewCastle, PSG, Paris FC.

Their main concern is the whereabouts of the financial incomes of these clubs and the lack of a salary cap, investing millions and millions of euros on Top A players, leading to dismissal of fair play with all the other associated clubs.

The Premier League has already put a stop to Manchester City due to their numerous financial infractions on the economical politics of the English league. Among these infractions are  the unknown whereabouts of the monetary incomes of the club and have not declared the whole salary of the players and technical staff of the team.

How will they fix it?

Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, has been one of the top detractors of the denominated Estate-Clubs, arguing several times that, “The Premier League hasn't acted as it should have for the past several years in the economical topic”.

Tebas has also said that this type of conduct deteriorates the player market and that the English tournament isn´t economically sustainable, “The Estate-Clubs are as dangerous as the Superleague for European football”, exclaimed Javier Tebas, president of La Liga.

The Club-Estate controversy is still on everyone's mind and it has even reached the UK government. The Premier League has been the first to act on this topic, by restricting the arrival of new investors, putting a special emphasis on Arab investors.

Last march 30, according to The Mirror, a reunion was celebrated with all Premier Leagues investors and English club owners, setting a new law that prevents and restricts the arrival of new investors that come from countries that had contributed to crimes against humanity.

This “law” also prevents the entry to the Premier League to societies that have been involved in fraud, corruption, tax evasion and hate crimes. Nevertheless, Manchester City and NewCastle owners won't be affected because they have not been sanctioned by the UK government.
