Thomas Tuchel has questioned the Premier League over owners ‘ethics and morals’ amid the proposed Saudi Media’s Chelsea takeover latest which indicates that something could be in the pipeline.
Thomas Tuchel said: “At some point we have to trust the process, the process of the league to control who owns a club. We are famous employees because we speak into a camera and on TV, but in general we are only employees and need to trust the process. Like you need to trust the process when you work for a company doing ethically and morally wrong things. Sometimes we need to ask questions of the process, how this goes. It’s maybe an ongoing process and it will never end, and just reminds us to be aware and conscious about it and not look away.”
The Chelsea manager then added in his post-match press conference regarded the statistic in question
Thomas Tuchel added: “Wow, that is a big one. Unfortunately, the situation is like this also for the owners of Newcastle and that effects, yes. What can I say? I don’t want to point the finger because comparing yourself or blaming others does not make the situation for us a different situation. The statement, that we condemn war and the actions from Russia towards Ukraine, there is no doubt. But we’re facing the consequences actually at the moment and this is where the focus is. I hope you can understand.”
Despite no powerful people being involved in Saudi Media’s bid for the club unlike Newcastle whose PIF takeover included Mohammed bin Salman as the chairman of the company, billionaire’s coming into the country associated with these human rights exploits could be a move that goes against what Tuchel accepts and believes in ‘morally and ethically.’
