  The Public Investment Fund (PIF), is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. It
is one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, with an estimated net
capital of $382 billion. It was established to invest funds on behalf of the
Government of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is aiming to transfer the PIF from a
mere local authority to the world's largest sovereign fund. Thus, PIF is
working to manage $400 billion worth of assets by 2020. It was with this Public
Investment Fund that Saudi Arabia decided to buy out the football club-
Newcastle United FC- a mid-table club of the premier league. In this paper, we
aim to forecast the investment levels and the subsequent improve in the league
position of Newcastle United FC using the model of another premier league club-
Manchester City as the base. We employ the DiD approach of logistical
regression through Python.
