Somert on SKY saying the Saudi league are now going after the best referees in footballs top flights

A positive this for me, gives our lot in particular a chance to reset.

Finally get rid of these refs who have built these characters and brands. Focus on the next lot integrating themselves better with the technology, pay them better but as a way to entice actual former players to the role rather than failed sunday leaguers with a superiority complex.

Made me wonder what they do get paid; this seems to answer it:

The side that Gerrard manages which includes Henderson, Wijnaldhaum, Demari Grey and Moussa Dembele lost at the weekend in front of a whopping 700 crowd 

Aye, saw that.

Previous gates of less than a thousand.

Once the princes have had enough and want a new play thing, it will likely collapse.

Incredible isn't it. Considering we hear that they're supposedly mad keen.

Been having a look 

60,000 turned out to watch Neymars debut for Al Hiall  but they average around 10k 

Ronaldos tram average 20k

Couple of teams with 20k capacity average 2k 

Another game recently pulled in 133

To be fair Gerrard's side were away from home. But his clubs average home gate is only 7k. This Saudi thing will die a death eventually. Can't blame folk for cashing in.
