Coach Christian Streich from SC Freiburg has sharply criticized the takeover of the English club Newcastle United by a consortium with Saudi participation.
“There are always things happening in football that have exceeded all limits.
In this case it is unbelievable who is involved in this consortium, ”said the 56-year-old on Thursday.
Freiburg - It is known that there are people in the consortium who are "involved in serious human rights violations," added Streich.
"I have to say that if people have a problem with that, then I can count myself among these people."
The English Premier League had agreed to the takeover because, from their point of view, the club is not under the control of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Arabian public investment fund is said to hold 80 percent of the consortium and is now the majority owner of the association.
In addition, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is accused of serious human rights violations, is the most influential man in the fund.
However, the fund is viewed as “separate from the state”, which means that a takeover was permissible from a league's point of view.

Streich has no understanding for this and instead made a plea for the Bundesliga.
"I think the Bundesliga is still attractive and that we can't go with everything that is done in other leagues, for example in England," he said.
“Anyone who no longer works so well, even though they have a long tradition, is no longer playing the Bundesliga.
For me, that's competition. ”Dpa
