Supposedly the Saudis think they can make a killing off it and are willing to pay £2bn a tournament in return for being able to sell the TV rights, choose hosts and sponsors etc themselves.Can't really see it happening to be honest. It doesn't really benefit the big european clubs at all so you'd have to pay them silly money to take part to make it worth their while and no matter what they call it no proper fans are going to give any more of a shit about it than they do the likes of the ICC and other pre-season friendly tournaments so I don't really see how they'll make money from it.

Building to a world where Harry Kane gets literally three days off a year..
Yeah but the key thing is that if they're wrong and it doesn't sell it'd be the Saudis who miss out, not the the clubs.Yeah but the Saudis etc. will only be able to sell the TV rights for a profit if all the big clubs are in it and all the big clubs take it seriously, which they won't. It'll basically be just like the ICC nonsense at the moment. I just cna't see the big clubs agreeing to it
