Saudi Arabia must be the best football league worldwide.
A false equivalency and the cracks are already happening. The LIV golf tour is a perfect example. It won’t be long until it hits all the sports that the Saudi interest’s have invested in.
But FWIW – Per Goggle AI, the average player salary in the EPL is £4.16 million to £4.68 million annually. In the Saudi Pro league the average player salary is around £5 million. Not a big difference and not as much as you might think.
I have more thoughts on British football, at the national level, but I want to stay on topic as much as possible.
