Manchester United sale would accelerate review of Uefa's dual-ownership rules

The Telegraph  

Discussions about potential changes to Uefa's rules governing dual ownership are likely to accelerate should Sheikh Jassim’s Qatari bid or Sir Jim Ratcliffe successfully buy Manchester United, Telegraph Sport understands. If Uefa’s executive committee voted to implement changes to the existing rules for next season, they would need to happen before qualifying for next season’s Champions League gets underway in late June. We shouldn’t just say no for the investments for multi-club ownership, but we have to see what kind of rules we set in that case, because the rules have to be strict.” Sources close to Sheikh Jassim have dismissed suggestions his bid is effectively a state project ultimately funded by the Qatar Investment Authority, the gulf nation’s sovereign wealth fund estimated to have more than £370 billion of assets. He said this month that European football’s governing body was considering a rule change that would allow clubs with the same owner to play in the Champions League simultaneously.
