On Saudi investment and which sports might be next (tennis?), I was reflecting on PIF vs PE investment strategy in sports and whether or not they are the same? Assuming PE invests where there is value creation opportunity. F1 good example of where this was identified and so far well executed. But whether PIF just buys the existing value in properties or more likely a combination of both.
The to the question of top 10 investable sports or properties worldwide what would be 1 to 10, depending on your view of the above?
I would have professional rugby union near the top. Will wait for my next long train journey to think on the other 9! Interested in your take
Hi Hugo! Great challenge - I'll turn my mind to it and see whether I can make my answer part of next week's Sport inc. Let me know what your train journey thinking time throws up...
Thanks Ed - an especially good one!
Cheers David!
V thought provoking as always.

Always a great read but the piece on the sovereign wealth issues and potential direction for global sport was just superb. Thanks Ed.
Cheers Anthony - much appreciated!
