The Saudi Media group have reportedly been interested, with Goal running a story yesterday claiming that they were going, to make an offer as well as detailed plans about what they would want to do at the club, including a stadium rebuild and contract extension
According to UK Sports Minister Nigel Huddlestone:
“ Saudi Arabia is an important partner of the UK in investment, intelligence and culture. We welcome Saudi Arabian investment. Many, many jobs in the UK are dependent on our relationship with the Saudis “
Saudi media may have been offered tactic encouragement by this comment. ( guardian_sport )
