Neom project cancelled now. Another case of PIF overpromising and underdelivering.

 

Haven't they started some of the work?  So is it fully cancelled or just scaled back significantly.

Maybe they can concentrate some of the funds on a new training ground before the end of the decade.

Did you get that off the same PIF person who categorically stated they wouldn't buy us?

Yup, spent tonnes already. It’ll be scaled back to the point that you can’t call it the same project.

  long memories on here. Nah the company I own is actually working on these projects alongside PIF so not some ITK exclusive; it’s probably already in the papers.

Neom and in particular The Line being a total fugazi was clear from those very first renders. Science fiction nonsense.

[El Prontonise]

Yeah it was just utter ridiculous.  I applaud how ridiculous it was.

 

Basically 100+ megaprojects rolled into one.

Absolutely. Was never going to become a reality! When the big boss says make it happen, lots of folk will tell him it can be done, until it gets to the point it’s actually now obvious that it can’t!.
