Why don’t we all just go over to Saudi? 11:07 - Jul 21 with 783 views | ghostofescobar | Ready made club for the Saudis then. Take the players, fans, board, backroom staff. Surely we’d all get top dollar as the “Best Fans in the Country - TM”. We could all do a couple of years, earn a bucket load and come back. | |

That’s the thing - it’s all well and good footballers etc going over there as it’s a male dominated society that represses women. For example, it’s not like Stevie Gerrards wife can pop down to the local beach in a bikini. | | | |

My uncle did a few years out there. Lived in a gated concrete jungle, he reckons on the one hand it was 'luxury' with all the on site facilites you could ask for - spa, gym, restaurants etc but rarely left the walls during time off. Got to him after a while and ultimately the money didn't make it worthwhile. Admittedly he wasn't earning £600k a week Henderson money, but still. Moved back after a few years as my Auntie put her foot down. Now back in Scotland earning half as much but twice as happy. | | | |

I wonder to what extent they actually 'move' out there. Like upping sticks, moving children out of school etc. Given he knows he could be out on his ear in a year maybe he's gone out there on his own, private jets back home in his spare time etc. Quite a sacrifice to make really, but money talks. | | | |
