That depends how much of their own wealth your respective sugar daddy is willing to write off in pursuit of a greater design.Absolutely, but that's nothing that can't also be said for plenty of other leagues around the world. The Saudi league has one team that averages over 40k fans. The second highest in 17k and the third is 13k. And what are the ticket prices? Are they charge 50 quid a ticket? A quick Google search suggests that they are starting at around 5 quid.
The point is that if you're going to pay out salaries that are double the top leagues in Europe, and have it be sustainable, you don't just have to start earning a bit more, you have to be bringing in double the income of the top leagues in Europe. I'm sure there will be increased interest in their league and they'll get increased TV deals out of it and sponsorship, but it'll be absolutely nowhere near that of the Premier League et al, so they will inevitably be bankrolling it for years. And as I said, when something is being politically bankrolled, it only takes a change in the political situation for everything to change. A single economic crisis is all it takes for people to start wondering why so much money is going to such vanity projects and it becomes an easy political win to get rid of them.
What you have said was literally wrong. Claiming that the US are almost 100% a population of high-income individuals is just mental, in whatever terms you look at it. Of course, the US is a world superpower if that's what you wanted to say.In worldwide terms, they absolutely are.
Well it's a good job I didn't say that then, isn't it? I mean yeah, if you want to get extremely facetious about it, then the fact that children are part of that 300 million proves me wrong. Brilliant. Well done. You've won the debate. But obviously what I actually said was that Americans are 'largely' high-income individuals in worldwide terms. Which is absolutely true.What you have said was literally wrong. Claiming that the US are almost 100% a population of high-income individuals is just mental.
I'm sure the filthy wealth of those billionaires is included in computing that average. With rent or mortgage, a household of 4 members would barely make it to the end of the month with an annual gross income of $70k. It becomes a financial crisis if someone finds a cavity in their mouth or the car doesn't start in the morning.The median household income in the US is nearly $70k. If you earned half that in the UK, you'd be doing alright, never mind most of the world.
It's the median, so no, it's not skewed by billionaires. The cost of living is kind of the point. It's an expensive country to live in, which means when you're advertising to people, you're advertising something that costs more and makes you more money. Sure, there are parts of America where a $70k household income wouldn't go very far (although I notice you don't mention the exceptionally low taxes they have compared to other high income countries), but they're also the parts of the country where the average household income is significantly higher. In San Francisco and New York, the median is $127k. We can argue anecdotes all we want, but the facts are the in terms of disposable income, the USA is number 2 in the world after Luxembourg.I'm sure the filthy wealth of those billionaires is included in computing that average.

evangelistss..... what i can i sayAmerican evangelicals, their very own Taliban, get a hardon thinking about how Saudis deal with people who call their religion horseshit. Both a shower of dangerous, medieval, theocratic, horrible bastards. Of all the countries invaded by the west, Saudi is where they should have started if any of the utter bollocks given for war were real.
so saudi arabia is ok for location. but an australion team.... it is impossible to be in champs league. it is not like eurovision,once in a year....but who knows.... uefa is a bastard... they can do anything for monry.ok,here is one another issue about saudi or other asian teams invloving in uefa competitions.(by the way i am favor of them,the market will be bigger. think about gala playing a saudi team in champs league... big cash inflow.... all the european clubs will benefit)
but here is the issue,
for example if saudi clubs wanna invlolve in uefa club competitions, they should be a member of uefa.and saudi national team should compete in uefa groups, like turkey, like georgia, like israeil, like even russia etc...
so it will be hard for saudi national.team to go yo world cup.am i wrong... there is no free lunch.....
cheers
