I meant Assad rather than Sadat which you well know
There is talk of a fit and proper owner test which is gaining traction with the war in Ukraine and the realisation of despots running premiership clubs to cover up their regimes
UAE and saudi have very poor human rights records and the UAE has geopolitical links to Russia and Syria and refused to condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine at the UN.
But it funds good footballers so that’s fine
42 countries refused to condemn Russia and among the biggest democracy on earth, ie, India, mainly for economic/geopolitical reasons, are you saying their assets like Jaguar Land Rover should be frozen? I agree regarding Saudia but not sure about UAE, which poor human rights are you talking about, you may be right?
Would be interesting to see what fit and proper test the FA will put. This is not the work of the FA, I don't think they are equipped for that, it is the government to decide who can and cannot invest in a country based on set criterion
