It's quite funny to see clubs, fans and journalists angry that players are chasing money going to Saudi as if they came to England because they like the weather

Saudi money....... on 13:24 - Jul 20 with 2025 views
The big clubs set up the "FFP" scam to protect themselves from lower clubs being able to overtake them. This is why it's going to be hilarious if the Saudi's use that as a means of taking chunks out of their market share and outspending them
The big incumbents can use corruption to manoeuvre regulations that protect them from competition in their home markets but they've left a gap on the global market to be out done. Good luck to the Saudi's. Crony capitalism like in UEFA deserves to fail
People in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. Imagine what the Saudis think of us considering what we've been up to in their region. Was such a surprise that we never found those WMD's that Campbell and Blair used to justify the War that led to millions of civilian deaths
While Assange remains locked up, we have a prime minister that no one voted for and America has a president with Dementia while his son does Coke in the Whitehouse. It’s North Korean levels of censorship imposed to pretend the West isn’t a total sham
“ we have a prime minister that no one voted”
Here we go again. He was voted for as an MP. When was the last time anybody voted for the Prime Minister it is just not how our system works. You can argue we know who the leader is of a particular party at a GE but then it logically follows if you believe that legitimises a PM you have to accept a GE if the PM leaves office for whatever reason. Similarly a by-election should be called when an MP stands down .

Back to the original topic, I’ve heard a few times that Saudis aren’t paying big transfer fees to avoid financially benefiting European clubs to the benefit of domestic and European competitions. But it could be a load of bollox!

On the original topic, I'm pretty sure these stars will all just base themselves in the homes they most likely already have in Dubai and then there will be a row of private jets waiting every morning to take them all to their respective club training grounds.
Also interesting that Newcastle owners also own a club over there, so feasibly, could buy superstars for the Saudi club and loan them to Newcastle for peanuts, to avoid FFP....but I'm sure that hasn't crossed their mind!!

If you gave QPR some Saudi billions this is what we'd get.
The best Premier League XI from, say, 2012. Half a Tony Scully. Relegated. A hefty fine.
Giving us money is like giving money to someone sat on the floor outside Lidl with a sign that says 'Will suck off So Solid Crew for crack rocks."
Mo' money, mo' problems. Translate that into Latin and put it on our club badge.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

Marco Silva is leaving the Fools allegedly with his release clause being paid up. Devastating for them but it's not as though he hasn't got form for it. Straight outta the Mick Beale play book. Sure he only just signed that new contract as well.

No need to say back on topic but you and the rest who were embarrassingly wrong on the infamous Covid thread on this board were all wrong then and you are all wrong again
Bunch of lemmings led to the cliff incapable of applying any critical thinking so just so something like “back to the topic” but cognitive dissonance to say that rather than challenging the point
NorthernR I think deleted the Covid thread out of cognitive dissonance because you were literally all wrong and the people you abused were all right
Shame on the lot of you. You were frightened into the party line and this thread is another very small example of the same instinct of cowardice to follow the herd that predominates

Dare someone to quote some “conspiracy theory” said on the Covid thread about Masks, Vaccines, that it only affected old people that turned out to be old people affected
Which part of that was a “conspiracy theory” and which part wasn’t just a bunch of dribbling bed wetters on here scared into po. oping their pants to “save your granny” with a vacine that didn’t stop you getting or spreading
Absolute embarrassment on that Covid thread in evidence. Bunch of pussys the lot of you
Outside of notable exceptions like Clive Anderson and pugwash

I suppose playing careers are short, especially with the threat of injury never far away. Deep down I think we'd all take the money.
Maybe the Premier League isn't going to be the top dog anymore.
At probably League 1 level and below but just one PL contract (average £55k/week on a 3 year contract) will get you £8.64million. Even if you were to get a career ending injury the first week into your contract.
The "it's a short career" analogy lost weight 20+ years ago.

I must admit I have read some of your previous comments and although I might not have agreed have seen the validity of your arguments or at least a thought process. On this you are coming across as a vile human being so caught up in your own personal views that you don't care about other peoples losses or feelings.

No mate the vile human is you who let the country get bankrupt and excess deaths from non Covid exceed the questionable “Covid related” deaths
Inflation cheers lads
No ability to deal with future and current issues cheers lads
Vile humans… right back at you
Like I say, quote the Covid related statements from back at me… good luck

"NorthernR" again is it? Usually you wait a week or two between feedings. Just plain weird at this stage.
The thread was not deleted.

You can also dodge a question it seems. No comment on if you still want everyone to have a vaccine booster to get in the stadium
Hope you've got your recent booster as it's worn off otherwise and if you haven't you are a granny killer remember and that was just a coincidence when players and fans were keeling over left right and centre after the vaccine roll out
So quick you were to be sure that our Cov away win under Warburton long delayed after the 90 mins was definitely not miocarditis because you read a Twitter account that had not been substantiated but fit your bias :)
No come backs from anyone unlike in 2020 when you all piled on. Because you know now you were wrong if only on a subconscious level. But you were always wrong. Your cowardice comes across now as a group. Anyone who spoke on that Covid thread back then… yes I mean you
Knew i was right and know we all know I was. Cheers

It probably isn't - fair point, he's on his hols - so I'll drop it, bar saying that we have plenty to be ashamed of too and I think we need to be careful about being judgemental. I think we covered all of this during the World Cup, so forgive me for dragging it up again.
I'll forgive you Brian, but only because I'm from the west

Don't they say a stockbroker is simply a bookie in a suit? Under our watch, Tony Blair killed millions of innocent men, women and children, simply to line his own pockets, via Kuwait and a multitude of other deals, irrespective of crimes, sexual preferences et al.
He also put the lives in the "democratic" west at risk as we see today. I'm off to work in Saudi next week and can't wait. Hopefully a few R's over there making the same sacrifices to support their long term family future.

Haha, I didn’t comment on the covid thread you tool!
You’re a very strange individual, who has clearly just learnt the phrase ‘cognitive dissonance’ and thinks it makes you sound really clever and articulate, but sadly not the case.
FYI, that sticker on your bedroom mirror that says ‘notoriety is better than obscurity’, congratulations, you did it!!
