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.
