Bit of an aside, but BBC 5 Live have really annoyed me today with regard to Saudi Arabia.
Focusing on the fight between Joshua and Ruiz, they've played a clip a few times now from what sounds like one of their journalists visiting Saudi Arabia. He opines that it could become an excellent tourist destination and says it's amazed so far at the reception he's been given. At the same time, they've quizzed one of the fighters (unsure which) about whether they think Saudi Arabia should be held accountable for their human rights abuses. That for me is completely arse over tit — their journalist should be the guy focusing on geopolitics, not the fecking boxer.
But yeah, it seems like the Saudis are on a charm offensive and are using sports as a vehicle so a purchase of the club, or another big one, wouldn't be a surprise.
