It seems that the EPL will turn to GPL in the next couple of years.
The deal will be announced after the Liverpool - Hull match i heard.
It is rumored also that the prince will buy his way to full stakes of the club within the next few years. With DIC and Shiek Kharafi from Kuwait showing interest in the PL it wouldn't be far fetched to see 5 PL clubs owned by the gulf rich/royalty within the next few years.
here is a link to the prince interview on ART sports:
