Where Robbie goes I will follow

The world is pivoting as Paul Rouse would say.

Time will tell, but the century of America and the West seems to be drawing to a close. Where the needle lands is up for debate.

The Saudi league surely offers a chance for Frank Lampard to hone his managerial skills ahead of his next spell as interim Chelsea manager.

Will you head across mate?

You’ll see just how effective sports washing is when the Sauds are cheered on by 50k topless Geordies.

Luckily that’s just the men. Otherwise it might have caused an international issue

Fabrizo is getting by paid by Saudi to promote the league?

It would appear so…

Supposedly there’s a fund set up for Saudi players who transfer out of the Saudi Pro League. Saud Abdelhamid would be an example.

If he was getting 5 million a year in Saudi and now 1 million in Roma. He would get paid the 4 million of a difference out of this fund.

What’s the logic here? Do they want Saudi lads getting european exposure

Roma are sponsored by Riyadh Season and as part of the agreement they must have one Saudi player in the side is the rumour.

Seems like a sensible way to run a football team
