Interesting read. However you’d imagine players (as humans) would do their research on these things before committing. Probably blinded by the money at first but just shows it’s not everything.
@Barry Lehane: professional footballers live in a bubble, I’m not sure they would do too much research
The Saudi league is turning out to be just like the China League.
Fair play to these footballers for getting to the top of their profession. But it’s hard to listen to a 29 year old professional footballer giving out about his quietly of life when he’s getting well paid. You went there mate. Cry me a fxxking river.
@David Staed: quality
@David Staed: correct
Wonder what he was expecting? Doesn’t strike me as the fizziest drink in the fridge.
So sorry to hear these guys are unhappy crying all the way to the bank
Saudi project will fail.
If you’re only means of attracting players is throwing big money at them you had better make sure you’re actually good for it.
Refusing to honour contracts and stiffing players won’t do your reputation any favours! And what can players do? Sue them? In a Saudi Court?
Back to the civilised democratic world lads.
@Dan P: Good post Dan.
