I will be very glad to be wrong
I think the problem they were always likely to have is how to enforce sanctions to stop the Sheikh from investing without closing down most other clubs avenues of investment or leaving themselves open to all manner of legal challenges that they're acting unfairly towards us & in the interests of others etc. Scudamore & Khaldoon made comments early on about it being impossible to enforce & it may well be that having spoken to people who actually know what they're talking about as opposed to Platini, the lawmakers in UEFA have written off the idea.
Tbh I don't think they could even enforce this rule either but it may be something we're happy to go along with.
