Hypocrisy Rules In Football
Russian-owned Chelsea Football Club restricted because of Russia's inhuman behaviour over the last 14 days.
But Saudi Arabia-owned Newcastle Football Club are OK in spite of Saudi Arabia turning Yemen into a humanitarian disaster area over the last 10 years.
Usual double standards in high places prevailing again.

Arky, the owners of Newcastle United are the PIF (Public Investment Fund), created in 1971 to invest funds on behalf of the Saudi government. And just who is the Chair of the PIF? That's right, Mohammad bin Salman! How this takeover was ever sanctioned is beyond me.
Yes, there may be a hint of sour grapes in my opinion, given Newcastle's ability to buy their way out of trouble. However, i believe my opinion would have been the same even had Burnley not been at the wrong end of the able.

No one stopped Abramovich buying Chelsea either. Now he’s been sanctioned and therefore as Chelsea is is personal property it has to be seized.
If MBS is ever sanctioned the same will happen perhaps although I am not sure that the ownership, just like the war in Yemen, is as clear cut as the case here
Nothing to do with double standards in football anyway, as this is not something controlled by football

///That Newcastle should be seized because Chelsea has been?///
well, why not? I'm not convinced that cutting off the funds of a club owner, while preventing him selling the club, is going to benefit either Ukraine or Chelsea, but if it's thought a proper matter of principle, why doesn't the same apply to Newcastle?

and as some clever legal commentator said
now that it has been seized - he cant sell it!
after seizure he cant sell it - only the commissioner in seizures and convulsions can ( or whomever)
BUT since the humourless faceless commissioner has closed the shop disappointing countless footaballl crazy kids, I might have sold the sports store - last week so it cd continue trading ....
