Saudi Pro League

It’s funny.

Fair fuck’s to them. PL clubs have bullied clubs the world over to buy players and managers.

TV Sport 5 in Portugal show it for obvious reasons, but that's the only channel in Europe I think that actually bothers.

It's like Channel 4 originally showing Serie A games just because of Gazza going to Lazio.

Al Ahli’s front 3 is looking like being Saint-Maximin on the left, Mahrez on the right and Firmino down the middle. Probably two-thirds of the PL would be happy with that!

It will take them many years to catch up, even with some average European leagues. Celta Vigo almost got relegated, and Benfica is a selling club.

It’ll be just like America. Teams full of local nobodies with the odd semi retired crocked European thrown in for marketing purposes.

You couldn't make this up

Fabinho's move is at risk of collapse as the Brazil midfielder, 29, wants clarity on whether he can take his two French bulldogs into Saudi Arabia

Absolutely zero chance.

This.

The franchise owners will blow the league up before ever agreeing to promotion/relegation.

There is a reason the American owners in the PL are desperate to scrap it: they want an MLS style structure with guaranteed participation (read revenue) and massive buy-in payments for any newcomers.

Hence the Super League.
