I've been there (my ex sister in law lives there...ghastly woman, but that's bye the bye). Bloody awful, shallow, crashingly dull pimple on Saudi's shit-tagged arsehole.

Sunday league football at Prem wages with **** all tax…what’s the attraction?. Another sport that the Saudis are trying to buy. Its like the Chinese league of a few years ago, only the clubs and owners actually do have the cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Good piece by Ewan Murray.

They've turned their attention to snooker now, a tournament with an extra "golden ball" that will be worth 20 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on circa £12k per month incl accommodation etc and all tax free. Received a further £1800 per month in cash (paid in Riyals) as pocket money.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 The big gamechanger would be if we they seemed to be going for a little while ago, Saudi Arabia got a CL place, maybe a Europa League place and perhaps a Confrfrncr League place or 2. UEFA obviously sensibly must not entertain such a prospect. Without it you're at least partially off the radar, money yes but what about meaningful competition in the top 5 to 8 divisions here and Europe (I know they're flawed) and the CL in particular but the other 2 Competitions can contain some big to decent sized clubs and indeed a pathway to the next tournament up if you win it. The lifestyle choice will be a big change but all the money, well for a while maybe but more competitive football while still being well rewarded. Another to add to the list, Milinkovic-Savic would like to return to Lazio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Well. The Saudi Pro League is all kinds of normal tonight. Presenting the trophy to the winner of Al Nassr vs Al Hilal is…. (Incidentally with his skin tone I hope he’s packed some good spf over there) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
