    Simon is in his element here and really knows his stuff, it reminds me of why I started liking his content in the first place. When he talks about transfers, referees and other matters it often feels like he's just being a clickbait merchant and spouting off about rubbish but when he talks about stuff like this he's so much more in the know than anyone else in football journalism.

      As a Saudi person and trust me we keep in touch with almost everything that happens in the US! I don't know why everything in there gotta be hard and complicated and just "tiring"
      everything gotta be politically right and almost a woke debate or just a debate based on the emotions or playing with facts or just for the sake of arguing and raising an issue nothing more
      what happened to the America we knew back then I lived in the times of 80s and 90s when America knew what to debate about and didn't put fear or obstacles on every relation they have with the rest of the world
      it's just an exhausting/energy draining loop that they keep the normal everyday American citizens caught up in it and it never stops it's always a new issue if not with other countries it's something internal
      I really miss the old America and as a Saudi who comes from the city of oil and used to live around Americans and other foreign people who live in here and have their babies in here and live a life time..
      I just miss the simple honest relationship we have and how we grow up studying with their kids and learning from each other not being too worried of how "different" we're!
      I was a Muslim like some of our Saudi friends we go to pray at pray time and they were Christians who go to the local church in here when it's Sunday. What I'm trying to say that I feel
      the western media lately and the whole political agenda is pushing us to be far rather than learn and meet in the middle nowadays anything "Saudi" is a shady topic and gotta be pushed toward "woke" or labral agenda
      even internal issues inside America not only with other countries who always been an allies and friends to it always seems to go toward making people fight or afraid of each other and just a tiring cycle of debates and conflict
      I really miss the America of the 80s and 90s I really do even though it had it's flaws it was a great time and more chill mostly and not too caught up in this political/media agenda

    The Saudi’s Qataris and Abu Dhabi’s have funded the premier league for years. Making it the richest league in the world. Now all Saudi wants to do is use their own money for their own league as oppose to splurging it everywhere else. There ain’t a problem with that. It’s hypocritical from people like Gary to want to block Saudi Arabia from splurging the cash on all these players when its exactly what the prem has been doing for the last decade 😂

      If the players want to go to Saudi, let them.

      This is exactly what the Saudi's are after, everyday Joe backing and supporting them because they throw a few bob(billions) into their favoured club rather than criticising their human rights

    People are missing SJ’s point. It’s not hypocritical, it’s that he fears for the game becoming over inflated. This will leave a handful of clubs and players, and so it’s EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE principles…. 🦆

    The sheer audacity for British pundits complaining that another country is buying up their talent when they did the exact same. Thing is disgusting

    i think the question he is asking is - where is the money coming from and is it sustainable - we know where it comes from in europe and the UK - but are they blood washing money etc.

    I'm not worried at all about our game. I think football will always be biggest in the UK, that's where the fans are. If big players go to the Saudi league, no one will care. Like Jordan said this is about gaining an invisible power called influence. Influence is only given if you let it be given. If no one watches the Saudi league then it gives 0 influence. Same as the Chinese league.

      I agree to a point, but the concern is how that money affects the football pyramid as a whole.

      Thirty years ago England were way behind Italy because they had the cash. Then it was Spain. Ultimately it's down to commerce.
