Now the money is running out. LIV Golf loses its funding after 2026 . Saudi football clubs are being sold off. Oil prices are falling, cash reserves are at a decade low, and sport has been quietly dropped from the PIF's priority list entirely. How much has the war in the Middle East shaped their decision? Yasir Al-Rumayyan was seen at St James's Park at the weekend... but will they keep their interest in Newcastle ? And what does the future for Saudi's involvment in sport look like? The Athletic's chief sport correspondent Matt Slater joins Gabby & Mark. Plus, the guys debate whether England or Scotland has the most enthralling title run-in and Mark is moved by a particularly heartwarming moment at the World Snooker Championship . 📩 Got a question?
