There are very few 'other Clubs' in similar situations.

I think what devo is getting at is that Newcastle is owned by a Saudi Consortium, they're screwing the books, to make up for it the 'owner' (for lack of a better term) sells one of his guys to his brother who sells him to his cousin and voila! Everyone's books look clean! Fair Play all around!
