They want it for the 2024-25 season. Can be certain it will happen, if not next year, in the near future.

Can't wait to see one of the Al-Hilal players spit at Haaland when they get battered 5-0.

apparently they all take private jet every day from Dubai to training/games as the lifestyle is more western there... jesus what a life.

Might as well have just have a training centre in the Maldives and fly in just for the game

Ronaldo holidays in Kalamata every year and a cousin tells me that both he and Firminho have been rumoured to be living in one of these villas....  

Four hour flight time, probably less on a private jet....... Stunning part of the world and my families holiday house is 5 mins away if they ever want to pop over for a frape and some bbq  :)

This has the potential to have the opposite effect and make people dislike SA more. What an obscene waste the money is. 

Hilarious that people in the Middle East are so supportive of the SA knuckle draggers. For a region anchored in poverty and class division, they could've ended all that with the money they've spent on this league - surely that's a better PR story - SAUDIS END POVERTY ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST

but then again - if the citizens are not kept poor they won't sink their faith in the sky fairy etc which ultimately keeps the people at the top in power and the minions subservient.

The point is

What is to stop Newcastle  being 99%  based in Saudi Arabia

or Al-Hilal being based 99% in the French Rivera

and just flying in for the game itself



Celtic would be a bigger club if their potential players and their families didn't have to live in Glasgow, and put up with the shit weather and strange language

unlike us Australians most of the rest of the world considers 4-5 hours a 'long flight' 

i do agree it is possible but it is two hours from London to Liverpool and the british media call that a 'long travel' for the away team

Did your London to Liverpool flight fly around in circles for an hour and a half ? It is only 45-50 minutes to Glasgow from London.

A lot of their players do not live in Glasgow, and they are still shite.

May be an image of 1 person, playing football, playing American football and text that says "B SPORT UNDATION CELTICFC 58.9% Celtic have lost 58.9% of their Champions League games (43/73), the highest ratio of any side with at least 50 games in the competition."

After 2 years they probably signed the London contract for him.
