Christian Purslow speaks to Sky News' Beth Rigby Interviews programme about Newcastle United's ownership, reports of a Qatari takeover of Manchester United, and charges against Manchester City over alleged breaches of financial rules.
Aston Villa's chief executive has told Sky News he's"profoundly worried" about levels of spending among the Premier League's top clubs, and says the backing of foreign governments represents"a clear and present danger" to the league's future.
"And in 20 years' time we look back and three teams, controlled by nations, are the only three teams winning the Premier League ever again. But he added:"I think that's changing. The Premier League now has, for the first time, four independent professional non-executive directors running the board, and it's no coincidence in the last six, eight weeks, two clubs have been prosecuted for financial rules when nobody had been prosecuted for years. So, I think it's changing. I want it to change.
However, during the takeover of the club, the Premier League said it had received"legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not controlAsked if the Premier League should look again at the takeover, Mr Purslow said:"Yes, I do. And I think they are. And they would. When asked about the takeover at a recent meeting of the DCMS select committee, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said he could not comment.
