SPM 175: The (still prospective) Newcastle United Takeover Set Piece Menu Football Podcast

    • Sport

The football: We discuss the what, who and why now of the potential takeover of Newcastle United in large part by the Saudi Arabian royal family's sovereign investment fund. With all football, never mind the Premier League, in a state of some financial uncertainty, is this proof that money remains king, regardless of those who might be concerned that the deal represents another example of 'sportswashing'.

The food: A banana and pecan cake, baked by Hugh, and because of the lockdown, entirely eaten by Hugh.
