"There are worries at other clubs that the Saudis will take the same approach as Manchester City’s Emirati owners and spend freely in an attempt to compete at the top of the league and in Europe but those close to the consortium insist that this will not happen.

But do I blame the Mag fans for dreaming of billions being spent? Not really.

My mates in production at Sky and has just messaged me to say it’s imminent. They’ve had media ready to roll at short notice for ages.
