John Terry has agreed to become head coach at Al-Shabab FC

[newyddion]

Who will be next? Frank Lampard? Wayne Rooney? Gary Neville? Phil Neville?

Just when you thought Saudi Arabia couldn't get more loathsome.

Would Gareth fancy it ???

Everton sold Demarai Gray to Al-Ettifaq on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.. (Steven Gerrard's team)

I honestly don't see how all this is going to work tbh.. I get the players and 'managers' moving over there for huge wads of cash.. but what's the point?

What is the punishment in that country for

Assault and affray
P*ssing into a pint glass in a nightclub
Car sex, or nearly car sex
Parking in a disabled bay
Sleeping with a colleagues wife
Racist abuse

Just wondering, like.

from his reaction to Henderson I suspect he's already been tapped up

Yes I wasn’t joking btw as he’s confirmed he’s quitting England after the euros next year so I’d imagine he’ll be high up on their hit list.

Wow, would never have seen that coming. JT, that morally upstanding bastion of all that's right in the world?

Think I'm going to be a while getting over this revelation.

Payrise

 

[coluka]

Wilders agent will be in touch soon, if he hasn’t already, once they see that CV he’ll be sought after more than Daniel Khalife

 

[uncle_rico]

Payrise

and the equivalent of a knighthood.

A death sentence. For the female victim.

 

[Cat’s Lives]

This is a suitable role for John Terry. John Terry is a suitable employee of Saudi.

 

[newyddion]

It just feels to me like this big Super League thing wont go away.. I can't the Saudi Pro league taking off.. but isn't it just three or four teams in there anyway?

Newcastle United are Saudi owned.. sounds like the Saudis are after Manchester United.. hmm sportwashing? or investment fund..

It really feels like it's just another way to move towards the Super League.. whatever form that might take.

What is 'car sex, or nearly car sex'?!?!

It’s not this

I think that is a great fit.

 

[Steer]

Don't know. Ask JT.

 

[Chutney]

Rules are rules, so I'm obligated to point out - and I don't think this can be emphasised enough - John Terry is an absolute çùnt.

Yep i don't get it either. People are interested in the clubs they follow, and also the fortunes of established big clubs, no matter how many big names go to Saudi i dont see people taking any interest, or certainly not people outside of that region.
From a sportswashing point of view i dont think it works either really. Buying premier league clubs does certainly. Maybe the big plan is to sell the worlds best players to Newcastle, on the cheap...
