The new Brazilian defender that Hilal signed looks promising but as usual you can't draw too many conclusions based on one game, but his partnership with Kwak might be the one which Hilal settles for until the end of this season.
Ibrahim Balawi to be the new Ittihad president. @Aimar21 - After a long time , I will be witnessing 2 foreign CBs in a team. Dont know why did they not keep Marshadi as a back up.
What do you think of Balawi? Regarding the CB, I think Sultan Alduayee should get the playing time instead of Marshadi, and the back up is better for his career at the moment. What is strange is Alhafeth's situation, I don't think I've seen him play any minutes this season.
I dont mind anyone leading the club as long as they bring in cash to the team and dont let the players go away . I think he might get a good support of his brother . Hope the board members support the new president. Abdullah Hafeth has been ruined after bringing him back to KSA, same case with Abdullah Otayf and Saleh Sehri . Stupid clubs have no reason for them to get signed and ruins the career of the young prospects.
Well that's it for Ittihad. Blowi family suck the club dry giving out commissions to family members, leave when the money runs out, attack their successors who clean up the debts in the press, come back and repeat the cycle. Watch Hamed al-Blowi will magically forebear the "debt" the club "owes" him for the duration of Ibrahim's presidency. There's no escape from the clutches of this mafia. Not while they wield the rabble rousing power of the media.
What they will suck now ?? The club has no cash left . They need to bring in cash and suck it back again . But atleast under the presidency the club used to run good and bring titles. If the other people like you dont like him then why so much crowd outside the stadium to support the new president ??

The club was not well run under Mansour Blouwi. Where do you think all the debts came from? Let's not talk about the big name fake signings like Figo or Eto'o . Or him using the club for real estate speculation (boundouqia islands), or those fantastic players agent Hamed brought us at great cost that turn out can't kick a ball and we send them away after 1 match. I could go on. It was a circus, funded on other backers' money (mainly Abdelmohsen al-Sheikh), and when funds dried the party was over.
I don't know about you guys but Ahli's coach Periera made the club and himself looks totally pathetic, the whining about the officials almost every game doesn't convince other people (beside your fans) of you work. That mentality seem to be taken up by his players and hence the yellow, red cards and negative comments about the referees are shown after every other game.
Its not only Ahli, its all the clubs I think soon we will be having foriegn referees for all the matches..
Then we will see a lot of them complaining about "this particular referee", then they will criticize referees "from this particular country", then they will complain about "referees who don't give their all". It's going to be an endless cycle. There is not a single person at the head of the big clubs who is reasonable enough to give the Saudi Football a hope for a better environment and an example to follow. Abdulrahman Bin Musaad showed a bit of signs to be this guy earlier in his tenure but now he joined them too.

Just to bring to light. Almost all teams are fighting relegation now, as the points difference btw Orubah and Shoalah is only 4 which are 13th and 6th place respectively....

Yeah, there was a slight hope of "let's win our games and see what happen in theirs", but it's extremely unlikely for this Nassr to lose at least 3 games of the remaining ones. Did they just won their 12th game in a row? We got to give them credit for it, Hilal isn't at the same level with Nassr this season.

With Ittihad winning back 2 back 2 matches, and Nasser meeting Hilal and Itti next it will be interesting time to watch the matches. If Hilal pulls back an uncertain win against Nasser and playing Itti next will be exciting especially when Nasser know Ittihad will be more stronger opponent than Nasser. And the gap reduces if Ittihad wins...And next Shabab in hand..Good Luck Nasrawi...
hmm... even though Hilal won against Nassar (4-3) but Ittihad lost 2-1 Can't see Ittihad beating Nassar...
Well, even if Ittihad wins against Nassar and for the sake of discussion; Nassar loses both its matches i.e., against Ittihad and Shabab while Hilal wins all its 2 matches out of remaining 3... then still Nassar will win the league because the Goal Difference Between Nassar and Hilal as of now is +10 for Nassar.
