Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund bought a majority stake in Newcastle United in 2021
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) set out to disrupt, but the fund has sent tremors through the world of sport in a very different way this week.
On Wednesday, Yasir Al-Rumayyan - the fund's governor and chairman of Newcastle United - confirmed PIF were reviewing "some deals and investments".
"Whether due to the war or reasons related to economic feasibility, we continuously reassess our priorities," he told the state-owned Al Arabiya news channel.
Those words were uttered in a week PIF sold a 70% share in Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal for £276m.
