Don't imagine a large amount of money into his bank account would have much effect.

Should of gone to Australia ,The World Cup not Beckham.
He's already signed the contract to make a TV documentary riding a camel to each of the World Cup stadiums?

Errrr......why?
If, and only if, I were being offered say £5 million just to say 'I think Qatar could be a great venue' why would I possibly not take it? I might have £300 million but just to say'I think Qatar could be a great venue' is not breaking any rules etc etc, on the other hand maybe he has already had a payday? Obviously that is total speculation on my part.

as far as i can see he didnt say this, its just lazy headline journalism. the BBC article quotes:
so more a neutral, dont want to rock the boat comment, than a specific endorsement.

But of course it's not "bringing football to new countries" really is it as Qataris have very little interest in the sport? The total population of the country is only 1.8 million with only 278,000 of them being Qatari citizens. The next biggest group, Indians (545,000), are hardly known for interest in the beautiful game.
If I had £300M, I don't think Id be too bothered about an extra poxy £5M.

I have always thought that, but then you get these big(ish) movie stars appearing on ads for car insurance and airlines. Didn't Graf & Agassi appear on some too for something, can't be short of a few bob.

Ask Steve foster he knows all about this sort of thing.
I have heard he's loaded but any additional cash is always welcome.

Is the right answer. Hardly going to be a constructive argument given it would only be in words of one syllable.
Brainless fool. And it will NEVER happen. FACT.
Sorry, when I said FACT, I meant BASELESS OPINION

He's looking for some fast cash for his Miami franchise. His time at PSG wasn't all about the football on the pitch.
