I don't dare say the same thing as you said, especially since we don't really know what they are really planning. what is certain is that this is related to business, politics and matters related to it, one of the underlying reasons is Ronaldo who was named as the ambassador for the 2030 Saudi Arabian World Cup. Apart from that, PIF was involved in acquiring 4 clubs at once with a very fantastic investment. Apart from being one of Newcastle's largest shareholders, PIF is also trying to develop football in Saudi. plus, they have big plans in their projects apart from football. Moreover, it is not only football that is under the auspices of PIF, several other types of sports are also sponsored by this investment company owned by the Saudi Kingdom. Apart from that, Saudi is starting to move in other businesses if I refer to my reading. one of them, they started through football.

For the other points you said, so far I am no longer up-to-date regarding information regarding what you said on several points. My focus at the moment is nothing more than football and the development of this competition. Well, we'll see what happens next. Can what you say be proven, or is it just rumors and ordinary news? because, there is no link that you shared in this post.

The SPL spending crazily on European players is one big and crazy reason that if we keep dwelling on we may probably keep arguing forever on what they feel is benefiting them. Yes them spending heavily on old cargo Europe is of huge benefits to the clubs in the SPL as there’s a benefit of experience and leadership, as these players bring lot of leadership experience and qualities to the team and that’s important to mentor young players. There’s also a benefit of marketability, fan engagement as and immediate impact as compared to how young players make take a while to be able to adapt and develop.

Though there are still some drawbacks such as shorter play time, impact on team dynamics as these could probably draw back the club’s performance. But when you compare the benefits and the drawbacks, you know that the club goes for players whom they can have more of the benefits than the drawbacks and this is what’s essential for the SPL continuity and growth

The thoughts of the Nation’s government to stop this signing from Europe can be well understood as the government might be watching on the financial implications signing of European players have on the Spl clubs. Also the government want the domestic players to be improved and when the influx of European players is limited, then local talent is developed for the future.

Though to an extent it’s seen as political and I feel they shouldn’t enforce it hard on the clubs because most of the clubs always try to get a balance for their local players and European players. ⁠Ronaldo been named as ambassador could be one of the reasons for the government’s action on European players but I feel the government should let the clubs do what they want as long as they’ll be able to bear the cost.
