This change of ownership first had to be approved by the Premier League after several negotiations, in which the English football entity "received guarantees that legally prohibit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from controlling the Newcastle United club." Once it was made official, the fans of the Urracas came out to celebrate the new fortune of the institution.

And the match against Tottenham -beat 3- 2- was also the moment chosen by many fans, who arrived at the stadium dressed as Arab sheikhs, wearing turbans in the colors of the institution. But despite the party and the color in the stands, there was also a request for justice for a serious crime related to the Arab government.

A truck drove around Saint James Park with a sign bearing the name of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist murdered at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Turkey in October 2018. In addition to having the causes and date of death, the banner also had the hashtag #JusticeForJamal. 

While the Premier League did not approve the purchase of the club in order to comply with FIFA's demands until it could be sure that there would be no political involvement of the Saudi Arabian government in Newcastle, the links are undeniable. It is the Public Investment Fund, so it is difficult to believe that the circle close to the Prince is not aware of the institution.
