The Straight Shootin' View Episode 155 - Saudi pro league, MLS on steroids or potential threat?

Is the Saudi Pro League a potential threat to the top European leagues due to their spending power, or are they just a jacked up MLS? On this episode of The Straight Shootin' View our co-host SSLJA discusses the potential of the Saudi Pro League being a football superpower on the level of the Premier League (and what they'd need to do to try and get there), after some of their teams have signed some top players coming into the twilight of their careers such as Karim Benzema & Cristiano Ronaldo, but also players in their primes such as Wolves Captain Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea. SSLJA discusses whether or not money is the only thing luring players over to Saudi Arabia, or if players are looking at an untapped social media market and he also looks at players using their obscene wages and contracts, to fund other projects, such as Ngolo Kante investing in a lower league french side, along with Chelsea being helped out of a financial black hole by offloading a number of their players to the Saudi Pro League sides.
