Richard Masters previously admitted that he could not talk about Newcastle United's prospective takeover because there were 'legal requirements in place' - and the Premier League are still refusing to comment after the deal collapsed.
Amanda Staveley, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the Reuben Brothers withdrew their offer to buy the Magpies on Thursday because of the 'prolonged process under the current circumstances coupled with the global uncertainty'.
The buyers made a joint statement on Thursday while Lee Charnley, Newcastle's managing director, issued a comment on Friday but there has been no equivalent address from the Premier League just yet.
What may complicate matters a little is that the Premier League did not pass or reject this takeover and it was the buyers, themselves, who decided to walk away from the deal.
Had the Premier League given the bid the green light, it would have been a surprise if they did not issue a statement, as they did after Southampton's eight-month long saga in 2017 for example, but they have not yet commented on the matter.
Staveley has claimed that the governing body wanted Saudi Arabia, the country itself, to become a director of the club and said 'if the fans want this back on, then they’re going to have to go to the Premier League and say this isn’t fair'.
More than 52,000 people have signed a petition demanding an independent investigation into the Premier League's takeover process while a number of Newcastle supporters have also emailed Masters, the governing body's chief executive, to voice their concern and call for an explanation, as we did in our open letter.
But, despite a number of requests from ChronicleLive in the last few days, the Premier League have refused to comment on the takeover fallout.
While the owners' and directors' test was going on - it lasted four months before the buyers pulled out - Masters had been at pains to say that he could not comment on the matter.
Masters appeared before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee in June and was asked about the lack of communication with Newcastle supporters by Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott.
Although the Premier League's chief executive 'appreciated that uncertainty' for the fans, tellingly, he added 'in a perfect world, takeovers would happen cleanly, clearly and in a timely fashion' but 'sometimes things get complicated'.
"It's difficult to make any comment about something which is confidential," he said.
"We can't provide a running commentary on things and, as I said, I just can't really talk about the specifics of this particular process. There are legal requirements in place which need to be observed."
