Abdulrahman bin Musa'ad - one of the richest men in Saudi Arabia and a member of the all-powerful royal family has cut many of his ties to Al-Hilal and is rumoured to be looking at investing in a HAL club.

Source?

Al-Ahli Brisbane Roar FC

yay. more money from slave owning royal families that exploit people and oil.

there should be a character test for owners.

:lol: Just like when Sheik Mohammed Hussein Ali Al Amoudi—the 77th richest man in the world with a net worth of $13.7 billion was going to invest invest in Tasmania United.

Apparently their worth has dropped dramatically recently.

You would have to wonder why an A League club though wouldn't you, with all that money and all?

And the last foreign billionaires that invested (Roar) didn't turn out so well ... although City are doing much better out of their deal.

Don't leave me hanging...

he probably wants info in how our country works as a football nation so he can give the saudis that info

in any case, i wonder who the lucky club might be

Its a rumour ](*,)

Yes, and unless Mr Jennings made up this rumour himself, I would like to know where he heard it from. This provides context.

Twitter? A general rumour.

A 'well-connected friend'? Could be more...

We don't need this kind of investment. Bad enough with CFG.

How has city buying out heart been anything but Positive for the league?? Seriously as long as they pay their players I'm happy, look at what's happening at the roar?

What club are they looking at??

Even if he made it up it's juicy enough to be interesting.

Very interested to see if this goes anywhere.

Robert Kraft is looking to invest in another sport due to the recent falling out between him and the NFL over deflate-gate. Kraft is looking at other potential sporting teams, in the US and overseas, to invest in. He also owns MLS team New England Revolution, so buying a HAL team makes sense.

No source, just a rumour Im trying to spread.

Would be a welcome surprise to see a human rights organisation invest in a HAL team. Await the day.

You're an idiot ](*,)

I can't be the only one who got this :lol:

+1000

Cool retort brah.

Thanks

I would say a well-connected acquaintance - not friend - but he has a decent track record for being right. He told me that Australia was being accepted into the AFC a couple of weeks before it happened with no media mentioning that it was even being discussed after the previous abortive attempt. No mention was made of the club but I would think that Brisbane are the prime candidate. I checked that and he has indeed stepped down as president of the club.

That said - it is a rumour - I wouldn't be banking the house on it.

Check out the cleaners pay slip at your local Westfield

Smell the Fear, MV not going to be the biggest fish much longer ?

Unrealistic to think that dumping money on any HAL team enmasse will have them overtake Victory.

Thanks bud.

True, apart from last Season you didn't even have to dump money
