Ulio posted:Saudi's aren't the smartest businessmen, they have been just lucky to have one of the most important commodities in the history of humanity since last century. This is clearly dumb as poo poo but probably true. MBS is treating this like a Football Manager save with cheat engine on. [Edit] see also the PIF investments in Nintendo and ownership of SNK, you can tell MBS was the rich kid with all the video games growing up. I also tend to buy the logic that it’s bread and circuses for the (very young, male) Saudi population to keep them occupied there (and arguing on Twitter with anyone who calls it a poo poo league) instead of productive things like separating heads from necks and wondering about changing their nation.

I keep imagining how they formulated this plan and all I can imagine is some Prince’s aide presenting their plan to sportswash Europe and the presentation is just the aide pulling a piece of cloth off an easel to reveal a piece of poster board plastered with the faces of all the best players and a caption that just says “BUY ALL THE BEST FOOTBALLERS.”

mbappe is arbitrarily rich anyway, it's possible that he just genuinely wants to play football in europe and not have to move to saudi arabia even though that would make him oligarch-rich instead of just "i can make it so nobody i know ever has to work for a living again"-rich

Mbappe is already getting paid an obscene amount of money in lieu of properly competitive football and as compensation for the lack of relevancy his football club can offer to him. He might as well go to Saudi Arabia and do the same thing for even more money. Imagine being Neymar, looking back on your waste of a career while you dredge out some pristine Amazonian wilderness.
