However many famous players they get, surely nobody will ever give a damn about the Saudi league. The Saudis are chucking money around like confetti on a windy day and there's enough sportsmen to pick it up, Fans outside of the Arab world wouldn't give a monkeys...yet!

This may be an explaination, stolen from the comments rather than my own idea "Al Hilal’s owners also own …..Newcastle. Neves wanted to play in Champions League….cheap loan from AH to NUFC to help NUFC get round FFP, with AH paying most of the wages and no loan fee??? Cynical? Me? Suspicious? Me? Damn right!"

Steven Gerrard is clearly going there because of Etrifaq’s illustrious history, huge and passionate fanbase and to challenge in the Champions League. And human rights standard bearer... Flogging and decapitation at half time. That's show biz baby, sponsored by Aramco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that’s the fella, I’m sure his and Wayne’s paths will have crossed more often than not during those days.

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just seen this, thought JL signed for The Treetards instead of West Ham because they were closer to Manchester and “it wasn’t fir the money” honest Gov 🤔😱😂😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big money moves as well, can't blame them I guess, however until Asia can come up with an equivalent to the Champions League, they will find it hard to establish it as a top 5 league...despite what Ronaldo thinks. Just ask the Chinese clubs. Realistically, how long is it before Saudi buy their way into the Champions League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, they’ve already bought FIFA and all their leaders within the organisation. We all know they will get the 2030 World Cup too.

Day Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 UEFA = Union of European Football Associations. Would need a complete rebrand to go down that path, Saudi's will go it their way and create some Middle East trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
