Is Rihanna really planning to take a football club in England?

Anything to get Vincent Tan or Massimo Cellino out of football is fine by us.

Anything to get Vincent Tan or Massimo Cellino out of football is fine by us.

If the idea of Rihanna donning a sheepskin coat and getting stuck into the transfer market appeals to your kind of sensibility, you could be in luck.

The 26-year-old singer was so caught up in football fever with this summer’s World Cup that she is planning on setting up an academy in her native Barbados and ultimately buying a club in the UK.

According to Gulf News, a source said: “At first we thought Rihanna’s desire to be involved with soccer on a business level would soon blow over. We figured she was still on a high from the World Cup. But now it’s becoming clear she really is serious.

“She’s talking about setting up a football academy in her native Barbados. Then her big dream is to be involved with a UK club.”

Please, PLEASE let this happen. We’d give anything to hear Rihanna go toe-to-toe with Jim White and Bryan Swanson on Sky Sports News.

Beats the English county cricket updates any day.
