The Newcastle United takeover saga has been ongoing since 2020. It is now in arbitration and the case has been adjourned until 2022. Ben Jacobs, who is based in the middle east, tries to clear up the who, what, when, where and why of this mess involving BEIN, piracy, the Saudi blockade of Qatar, who ultimately would control NUFC, and any other obstacles in the way of this sale.
