The Turkish supercup was supposed to be tonight but 
wouldn't let the 
come out with Atatürk banners for their centenary. Both clubs then refused to play the game and Saudi police stormed the dressing rooms to confiscate the banners and the game has now been cancelled.

If you need a reference for how fricking broke Turkey is, Apple just announced they are raising the monthly subscription price for Apple Music to like $2 a month from $1 a month and people are freaking out. Per capita GDP is like $10,000 a year.

All the Gulf states are trying to diversify as much as possible and build towards future. Domestic league investment is good for tourism AND to keep local population happy, foreign football investment is great for political capital (so was the WC).
The guy who bought Malaga CF did so to get the contract for rebuilding port in Malaga, when he didn't get it he pulled the plug on investments and the club is now in 3rd division. PSG, Man City, Newcastle etc. are heavily about this as well.

Port. Plus they're already planning to build some real estate there IIRC, maybe
@AverageBen10Enjoyer can confirm.
And it's not like their influence is confined to Newcastle, they'll develop political/business ties across the country, if the club grows they'll sit in their gay little VIP boxes with many gigarich people.
