Just because he has money, it doesn't mean his life wouldn't change with shit loads more. Jordan Henderson, for example will earn £110m over his contract, tax free. Even if it's half of that, I would assume he is doubling his net wealth. That's life changing. How exactly? I’m sure he already has a bloody big house, fancy cars, flies everywhere first class , goes anywhere he feels like for holidays etc so what will change?

Buy a yacht or plane, we'll never relate because we don't have that sort of money. There is always better, bigger stuff to buy and have a better lifestyle. What do billionaires buy with their money? He might be able to buy a better house now. Or more cars, houses etc, keep in a better lifestyle. Otherwise, why are all these "stars" going over to play there? I would only assume it's life changing money. They all can't be greed bastards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t agree. It may improve their house etc but it’s not life changing. That would be an ordinary guy with a flat and a ford fiesta getting tens of millions not the Neymars or Rnldos of the world.

If you’re a current premiership footballer and make the right choices, all the people you listed will already never need to worry about money. I do look on it as just greedy bastards wanting more.

SkylineBlue 23,864 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It was always coming and it was always going to happen. I already don't really give a fuck about football outside Rangers because it doesn't feel relatable at all. I couldn't see me ever regaining interest if this goes ahead.

Somemightsay7 2,464 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Part of me thinks the bigger European teams would be against it and not allow it to go through as it's a threat to their own success, but if they offer something like £1-2b per year then that's a huge amount of extra money for each team.

Worlds_Most_Successful_Team 70 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Banter league. Half of a team is has beens on the decline for obscene money, other half is folk no one ever cared about. Canny imagine Mohammed in the stands being that enthusiastic, no atmosphere at all. Only 'benefit' I see from the Saudi leagues is the money leagues shifting their old talent for multiple times more than they are worth. Who knows maybe we got £10m+ for Sakala, would make more sense than most of these transfers there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
