This was pointed out the other day PIF share holding in Disney, Facebook etc, is miniscule, less than 1% in most cases. & I'd be very surprised if US law would prohibit them from owning shares.
The other positive comment I heard was PIF are in this to make money so its an investment company, and that its likely the the priority will be return on investment and dividends, they won't be a magic money tree. We'll see I guess

It would be interesting to know how much free cash or cash equivalents there are in PIF at any time, given current interest rates.

:lol: you think that the fans went quiet after the equaliser? You were watching a different game to me then. I heard the fans support for the team dwindle as Spurs slowly put their boot on our neck and we meekly surrendered. As we have done throughout Bruce's tenure.

We played well for 10-15, then we became more passive with a disorganised high line, Spurs capitalised with balls over the top. We never got a foothold in the midfield, couldn't find an outlet, our attackers were coming deep just to get a touch. In other words, the team lost because they lack leadership, organisation and confidence.

1. I've no idea if a comparatively small number or people wearing Arab dress would be received well or not. I assume that tens of thousands cheering his arrival will be received well.
2. I don't accept the premise of this question.

I know you are not an unintelligent man, therefore
1- You have a very good idea of whether that would have been insulting, but will not admit it, and
2- You don't want to, or can't answer this question and still be credible.

There must be easier ways to making money than buying a football club surely. Although the mags are already a profitable club thanks to Ashley I guess.

They’ve got buckets of cash in Saudi Aramco, and it’s the 2nd most valuable company in the world after Apple. I’m not saying that’s readily transferable to PIF but it’s effectively the same ownership.

Not at all - anyone can buy anything once it is in the public domain. The investments are sizeable but less than 5% - the biggest US one is 3.5bn in Uber. They have been in Uver since the beginning,
