The more organisations that deem it morally acceptable to work with them, the more other organisations are prepared to say ‘Well, why shouldn’t we? Everyone else does”. Eventually, it’s just seen as normal to treat their record for human rights and chopping up journalists as an irrelevance.

My already high estimation of Messi, has grown given his decision to swerve the Saudi retirement gravy train league.
Obviously two years working with that lot and the way he was used at the World Cup left him questioning moralities. Well that’s my hope anyway!

Possibly young enough for it not to wreck his entire career but, really, what's the point? Other than money, obviously, of which there is plenty in Europe already. Certainly wouldn't help his international chances. It takes a certain type of character to think that becoming that rich is worth more than achieving something of substance as a footballer. Waste of talent unless you've already won the meaningful medals.

Part of me thinks this is a good thing. All the mercenaries in the game go to Saudi, and those with any real ambition will stay in Europe.

1 year after signing for Chelsea and being forced there by The Todd's paymasters?
They loves themselves a bit of Indentured servitude, proper love it, those Saudis.

The brainless pundits are overreacting for the sake of their own profile. Football fans generally follow their clubs, not the players. Saudi can buy all the talent they want, they will never have the heritage or fans that any European club has. They may get some floating casuals to watch but that won't make them a success nor will it make any meaningful impact on our football. Let them throw cash at mercenaries like the Chinese were, you can't buy class or heritage nor the prestige that naturally follow.
That's not quite true. Might be for you and me, but many many football fans around the world are fans of individual players and follow them not the clubs (eg Mitoma, Ronaldo etc). These teams will gain followers whilst their favourite is playing there.

Half the fun of going to matches, or indeed playing in them, is what happens on the terraces. I'll safely guess that Saudi terraces are naff

I think the plan is to hold matches in the stadiums right after the public executions to ensure good attendances, if you try and leave thats fine just deposit one of your hands at the turnstiles.

Saudi Arabia is quite warm, right? Will they play some of their games, or parts of the season, abroad? As in Europe and big cities around the globe?
Is this the start of a new super league?
