    Other than rare cases such as Kane, Saudi are the only league putting money back in to the Premier League. Otherwise the Prem teams are spending huge sums and giving it to Portugal, Spain, Holland etc.
    So Saudi has been very beneficial for the Premier League clubs, without Saudi Wolves would probably have only got about 20m for Neves.

      The fact that the media did not mention is the tax deduction of 40%, 10% for the English Federation, and 10-15% for the European Union. 25% is the repayment of debts. This means that if you calculate it in the Salah deal, the club will only have 20-30 million left.

    And still less than the Prem, who have been outspending the other leagues in transfer fees and wages for 30+ years?
    Gotcha.
    Simon is completely correct. Let them buy the best players for double what they’re worth. You can’t buy team rivalry, atmosphere and passion.
    They wont over take the prem, ever. And so what if they do?!
    In the 80s Liverpool completely dominant Ed this league like city are doing now and United did the 90s and early 00s. But even with that, the Italian league was the best in the world. Now it’s not. Sport evolves.

    Funny how the st maximum deal was so heavily watched to make sure it was fair market value and we wouldn't be manipulating the market.
