This whole thing feels like that year or two when Chinese teams were splashing money. I wonder if the Saudis keep it up year after year. If they do, the face of club soccer is about to change forever.

They'll probably do it until they host the world cup. Maybe it's extreme now because they want to make a big splash, but I think they're gonna spend a lot of money for players, stadiums, bribes, etc to be able to host in 2034.
Thing is... 2034 is a long way away still. If they keep spending like this they'll be the worlds top league by then. At the moment people brush off the saudi league by saying things like "you're only going their for the money, there is no real competition there"....but what happens when that's not the case any more?
It's not something I want, but people are really sticking their heads in the sand trying to hide from that very real possibility.
