No different to how the big European leagues take players from South American football or Africa, smaller European leagues etc..
plenty of mercenaries plying their trade in the EPL...Saudis not doing anything wrong really whatever your view on it's worth. |

The game changer will be when the stadiums are air conditioned.

Stadium air conditioned? Like in a glass/gold fish bowl? What about security? The entire stadium could be gassed, if so.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all. For one thing the ticket prices will be significantly cheaper given players remaining will be paid significantly less. Another positive is local lads will have a greater chance of playing too.

The Saudi's end game is a top class league, a place in the Champions League and hosting the World Cup.

I think this just pushes the super league back to the forefront. The super league would be a means to compete with the Saudi money and ensure European football remains at the top. It should be noted the Saudis cant really sustain this and just maybe they would be banking on a super league. Just like they did with the golf they would become major investors in the super league. That would be a good investment. Who knows, but money talks!!!

Why would the Saudi's 'end game' be the CL when they can just be in a breakaway Super League and not subject to UEFA or their FFP rules, which they will never be able to comply with? They are never going to have a 'top class league' either. There are 5 clubs out of 18 doing all the big spending and the living and playing conditions are unattractive.

Joining a super league or accepting a place in the Champions League would mean complying with some form of FFP.
The Saudi's are not going to agree to that until they have the players and infrastructure to compete. At the moment with the heat and humidity the SPL is a retirement home. If they want a competitive league attracting younger players they need air conditioned stadia. Don't laugh it can be down. It's just a matter of cost and the Saudis literally have money to burn. Only when they have a couple of clubs able to compete with City, Real, Barca etc will they join a super league or enter the Champions League. They ain't into weekly humiliation. |

LOL. If the Saudis are ever short of cash they can just stand on the oil supply hosepipe until the price of oil goes up by a couple of billions a week. |
