It would be a laugh just to see the rest of the league raging, and it would open up a load of financial gain for us. Just think it would disrupt the good team spirit we seem to have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Saudis haven’t invested billions in building their league to just send loads of players back to England on loan. Can’t see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as much as I'm sure they want us to do well, their primary purpose is going to be build their own league asap, and they aren't going to undermine it by loaning out their best players to other leagues.

GeordieDazzler Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Honestly feels like Ashworth was just fucking with them in that interview. I don’t think we’ll get anyone from the pro league.

Much rather do things all 100% above board and stick two fingers up at them when their attempts failed.

The rules are in place, if we are working within their rules I have no issue with that. Probably/hopefully won’t need it, but good in a crisis. One that should be short lived.
