A season before, or after and they would have been fucked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4868 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 To be fair to chelsea the players they have sold players that will puts bums on seats in Saudi league (unlike Jordan Henderson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14600 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If NUFC want to emphasise separation from KSA I’d have thought letting their team play at SJP wouldn’t be a great PR move tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership aside Saudi has a young football crazy 36 million population. It makes total sense to me to position the club to make us the team of choice for that audience. Saudi isn't just about MBS as revolting as he is, I'd much rather be associating us with the gen pop Lfc and man ufc have benefited hugely from getting to the asian market first, SA is a huge marketplace we would be mugs to ignore 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the motivation for it is. From the football clubs point of view it raises their profile in the middle east Asia and south America. Its all about being a global brand. It's pointless ignoring the fact we're owned by PIF , that's not going away, but this is more about marketing the club than "sportswashing". It seems to be sportswashing is exaggerated as a motive the the Saudi rulers. They don't give much of a toss what the West thinks, they've got oil so they've got money so they've got power. This is all about consolidating their money and power, that's what motivates them, not what football fans think of their politics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I can't really understand why people think this raises any further questions of whether we're owned by the Saudi state. Being owned by PIF is more than enough reason on it's own to expect something like this from day one. I can also see why this is beneficial to the club in terms bringing in further revenue from the middle east. What concerns me is that I can't see them being well attended and I worry that people that do go will behave like morons and make the rest of us look like what the mackems try to claim we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
