‘The Saudis’ haven’t taken over any clubs as a government - the money is coming into the PL (has been coming) from private Saudi businesses - however the PIF is a conglomerate of private businesses albeit chaired by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammad bin Salman Al-Saud that also help prop up the Saudi Government with their public investments so their claim of independence of any interference from the Saudi Government is highly questionable and the funding from PIF is clearly State backed - Any take over of Liverpool or ManU with Saudi funds would likely come from similar financial set ups (although obviously not PIF) and not from any State backed quarters for the reason you say.I know rules don’t really matter anymore
But I didn’t think Saudis could take over anymore clubs?
