Well I’ve exaggerated
It’s £492m for 2 years
Plus bonuses and a 15% stake in the club
So £488k a day

And that's why we needed PSR.

The Saudis just throw money like confetti, even though they cannot get into UEFA so cannot win the Champions League, so they get the World Club Cup started via FIFA and throw 100's of millions at that instead.

As I said last month once another side is owned by either the UAE or Americans get ready for overseas league games
I’ve been told now by 3 guys I know who have very very close relations to Saudi and they have all said at different times that they will take over football one way or another like boxing and F1. And it won’t be via Saudi Sportswashing Machine because they couldnt do it quickly
Their biggest football stake is actually in Chelsea I believe

That’s insane. Full stop.

 

[Daisuk]

That’s insane. Full stop.

£5,6 a second, £338 a minute, £20333 an hour, 24 hours a day. £20k an hour. 3 hours while he is sleeping and he has made more than I make in a year.

The CB and Kudus. I'd love a Maddison type though.

I know I keep banging on about him but Enzo Millot would be perfect competition for Maddison.

I wouldn't get out of bed for that!

 

[P.D.]

Yep
Footballers earn obscene money
Saudi money is another league
Ronaldo is on a £500k a day … a day

I think there's a big difference going there for that sort of money, not that footballers are poor but 125m tax free for someone like Hernandez is insane. Sets up his whole family for generations to come.

 

[Gazza]

Anywhere now
Basically like Richarlison but possibly not made of cheese

Should have built that cheese room

And in so doing help sustain Chelsea's obscene operating pattern.

Well Chelsea have huge Saudi backing through Clearlake

Linked with Grealish again in - obviously gonads. But how was he so scintillating at villa, and meek at City?

2 of his big 3 seasons with Villa were in the championship remember

Think it’s more the Harry Rednapp observation: once you’re made and have those millions kicking around the bank account, in your 20s, some loose a certain amount of hunger and focus!

Despite not particularly being a fan, the main issue is Pep makes him play the way he does now.

Pep saw him as a big part of the side in 22/23 (50 game splayed) & 23/24, he's clearly fallen off the favorites list at this point.

The only way Grealish goes anywhere (outside of Saudi) is a loan with City eating most of the wages.

He was the main man at Villa and could do whatever he wanted. At City he had a role that he had to stick to and had to change his game.
Was never a £100m player, wasted money when you think they could've got Kane instead for a bit more.

Like Doku, Foden, Ibrahimovic and Haaland, he's been "Pep-ed"...

Interestingly Son would have been an ideal player for Pep, that left side player than could float inside, be provider or scorer. But yes, for 100M-ish, Kane or Son would have been a much better option for City (and Kane would have saved them a ton on Haaland).
