Newcastle United fans hope they will not be affected.
Newcastle United are on the verge of a game changing takeover.
The consortium will potentially make Newcastle the richest team in the Premier League, The Sun report.
The money is being partly funded from the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
So it was slightly disconcerting for some fans to see oil prices crash to record lows this week, with the New York Times reporting US prices of oil even went negative, for the first time ever.
There is no word that this will affect Saudi Arabia, or indeed Newcastle United, but supporters could see the dark humour in it all.
Newcastle hope that the club’s takeover will be done next month, with The Chronicle reporting it could be just three weeks away from completion.
Once it goes through, work can begin on planning for the future, with potentially a new manager, and new additions on the playing side.
Money won’t be limitless, but Newcastle are likely to have more than most teams do right now, for the first time in a long while.
