3. Top 10 Richest Football Club Owners Revealed Following R6.54 Trillion Takeover of Newcastle United

Following the stunning takeover of Newcastle United by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund for £320bn, the Premier League side is now the richest football club – by far.

There had been a long-standing feud between the club owners and fans as regards lack of funding as well as the club ambition and fans urged Mike Ashley to sell the club.

The takeover returned to the table after Saudi Arabia agreed to lift its four-year ban on beIN Sports to allow the Premier League to be broadcast legally in the Middle Eastern country once again.

UK outlet SunSport have now compared the new Newcastle United owners against the richest football club owners across the globe.

4. Dr Irvin Khoza Gives a Final Warning to Orlando Pirates Players for Behaviour

Dr Irvin Khoza, who is the chairman of Orlando Pirates, hasn't been impressed with the behaviour of some of the players off the pitch. Some Orlando Pirates players have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons and it seems like Khoza has had enough.

It's not easy for the management of a football club to police what their players are doing outside of working hours but they still need to keep a good image.

5. Pitso Mosimane Faces Possible Exit From Al Ahly After Contract Negotiations

Pitso Mosimane could be leaving Al Ahly by the end of this week if his contract demands are not met. Mosimane is asking for a "protection clause" and the club seems reluctant to add it onto his contract.

The South African coach is nearing the end of his initial contract with the club and renewal was on the cards. Now it is being reported that Mosimane is going to leave the club if he doesn't get what he's asking for.
