America seems to get blamed for a lot of things, conveniently overlooking how other countries have sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saudis just pump endless money into something but I am scared of the future of football if they are starting to control the clubs plus the TV deals, as you will get these crazy ideas like in Spain, when you have to take a number of their players over.

ScoRoss 800 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 The whole idea behind this was to improve their performance of the national team in the World Cup. Not really about commercialisation. Saudi Arabia, as much news to me, seems to have a very strong domestic setup. Big crowds and big wages for their own players. This was about improving the standard of competition which their best players played against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
