So is the Saudi league actually gonna be fun or will these guys just be forgotten?

Average attendances don't look great from what I can see but I don't know how accurate the figures are.

Seems like they are trying to push for many TV deals as well. Sky sports in the UK and ESPN in the US apparently show the games?

Can't say I'll be watching tbh. Already a challenge to keep up with European leagues and international football never mind anything else.

I doubt anyone is going to be watching tbh

I can only see it as a positive, there's alot of these fans of players in modern football, rather than fans of a club which is just weird, if those people go watch Saudi football the rest of football can start to heal 🤷🏼‍♂️

I can understand the money was impossible to resist, but with a decent champion's league showing Jota clubs have been off to the prem in January and then into the Portugal squad.
