Newcastle fans rage at PiF as Aston Villa deal agreed
Newcastle United fans have been left raging at their owners after Al Ittihad agreed a deal to sign Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa.
Al Ittihad are also owned by PiF, leading fans to question why they are agreeing deals which will benefit Newcastle’s rivals in the Premier League.
This comes while the Magpies continue to struggle with squad depth issues, as fans call for new signings to be made immediately.
The deal to sign Diaby from Villa is the latest in a line of high-profile players moving to Saudi Arabia for big money – something Toon fans insist is having a negative effect on the club.
Villa are seen as a direct rival to Newcastle in the battle for Champions League football, and a big cash injection will only help their chances of winning that battle.
