Ceferin compared the Saudi contracts to those in China and that they will inevitably fail, i’m not sure that’s entirely accurate but I guess we’ll just wait and see.

Chinese weren’t getting names like this. And I’m not quite sure they cared about Football as much as the Saudis do.

But Ceferin was right in saying “they should spend that money to build academies and focus on footballers from an early age”..

But I think Saudi is starting to do that too.

Saudi is there for teams to make their money back.

That’s all I’m saying.

(Except for United)

That's true, it's funny United spent all those years renewing players so they can get transfer fees and now they have nothing appealing to sell.

Mexico still don’t understand that managers aren’t their biggest issue.

It’s having 175 million people in a Soccer mad country who don’t produce enough talent.

Bold move with them losing their manager but I guess they kinda have priced him out of a move this summer
