(1940-2025)
"The Final Harvest"
Agricultural economics and marketing have lost one of their sharpest minds with the passing of Dr. Richard Murray Alwyn "Al" Loyns at the age of 84. A PhD graduate of Berkeley and a gold medalist at the University of Manitoba, Al knew the value of a well-structured economic model—but never let one get in the way of a good debate. Al has undoubtedly arrived in the afterlife with a clipboard full of questions. Wherever he is, one can be sure he's already deep in discussion, trying to negotiate better terms. Please join us in celebrating and honouring the bountiful harvest of Al's remarkable life — a life well-lived and rooted in love, hard work, and community on May 24 at 3:30 p.m. at Thomson 'In the Park' Funeral Home.

FIFA signs another Saudi deal with sovereign wealth fund PIF backing Club World Cup
GENEVA (AP) — FIFA took another Saudi Arabian investment Thursday for the U.S.-hosted Club World Cup, announcing a top-tier commercial deal with the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, which holds majority ownership of one of the 32 teams playing. The Saudi state's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is the 75% owner of Riyadh club Al-Hilal, one of four teams in the national league it has controlled since 2023. PIF also created the LIV Golf project. FIFA said PIF was an official partner of the June 14-July 13 tournament being played in 11 American cities, though the value of the deal was not stated. Saudi state money also is effectively funding the Club World Cup broadcasting deal that has largely backed the $1 billion tournament prize fund being shared among the 32 teams, including Al-Hilal, which will get an entry payment of $9.55 million. FIFA announced a global broadcast deal for the Club World Cup with streaming service DAZN in December, two days before confirming Saudi Arabia as host of the men's 2034 World Cup. A widely speculated Saudi investment in DAZN, reported to be around $1 billion, was confirmed several weeks later. FIFA also signed Saudi state oil company Aramco to a World Cup sponsor this year. The U.S. is hosting the first 32-team Club World Cup which will played every four years by teams that won an edition of a continental club championship, or ranked highly by results over the four-year qualifying period. Inter Miami, with star player Lionel Messi, was invited by FIFA to represent the host nation. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Al-Hilal won the Asian Champions League in 2021 and was drawn by FIFA in a group with Real Madrid, Pachuca and Salzburg. The Club World Cup has become a personal project of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who has built close ties since 2018 to Saudi Arabia and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the chairman of PIF. The gold Club World Cup trophy has spent much of this year at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump, who is scheduled to present it to the winning team at the final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Trump also has worked closely with the LIV Golf tour. ___ AP soccer:

Simone Inzaghi resigns as coach of Inter Milan amid Saudi interest
MILAN (AP) — The 5-0 rout by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final was Simone Inzaghi's final match in charge of Inter Milan. 'The time has come for me to say goodbye to this club after a run of four years during which I gave everything,' Inzaghi wrote in a letter to Inter fans on the club website Tuesday. The loss to PSG on Saturday marked the most lopsided defeat in the 70-year history of major European finals. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is reportedly trying to lure Inzaghi with an offer of more than 20 million euros ($23 million) per season. Inzaghi coached Inter to the Serie A title last year, and was also in charge when the Nerazzurri lost the 2023 Champions League title to Manchester City. He was at Inter for exactly four years and had one more season remaining on his contract. It's unclear now who will coach Inter at the Club World Cup in the United States starting June 14. Inter opens against Monterrey on June 17 — a day before Al-Hilal opens against Real Madrid. There has been speculation that Inter would go after Cesc Fabregas, who coached Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A. Inter finished second in the Italian league last month, one point behind champion Napoli. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Inter was in the running for a treble until it lost to city rival AC Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals in April. Having also been beaten by Milan in the Italian Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia in January, the Nerazzurri didn't win a trophy this season. The coaching change at Inter is just one of many managerial moves among the top Italian teams this offseason, with Milan, Roma, Atalanta and others making changes. ___ AP soccer:
