Yes, your right, I've had a drink. But can you not see the point of signing the contract outside of Saudi? He has the power now. The cards are in his hands, the hands of a none Saudi. The Saudi's have gone to him, not himselft to the Saudi's. Yes, all that matters is results, but when ending in failure, what is said? What is said is the Saudis hired a guy who was bothered. And when you say Johor is a really good coach, then you must wonder why a really good Saudi coach doesn't get the job full time.
This isn't the first time the Saudi FA have signed a contract outside the Kingdom. I think you're looking too deeply into it. 3 years goes all the way to the World cup but I don't see any major tournaments till then...
Frank Rijkaard looks serious in this photo ... he has some moto in mind ... The prince is not even aware of this guy's mentality ... I hope it's good for Saudi Football ...
Yeah even I when looked at this photo tought he might not be interested in coaching Saudi.But after some time heard that he is high tempered coach and very strict that is why he looks so serious. The FA will take care of him like they are taking care of a costliest glassware.Any insult or blindly sacking him for small reasons will cost FA.He is big name coach and the world is talking about hiring him.If he gets any negative approach from the FA or anyone else he will bring down Saudi football from no where..
the man is looking for a challenge , he always dose that but i am disappointed i thought they will elect the new FA in this summer i guess it wont happen :/
Well, I heard the election was supposed to happen in July and we just entered July so it remains to be seen. I have a feeling Nawaf will be "elected" .
According the "Al Nadi" Newspaper, if Wehda fails to convince the CAS of their cause, the FA will fine Wehda 40 million Euros and prevent it from participating for three years in Saudi football. In essence, they will completely destroy the club. http://www.al-nadi.com.sa/node/4443 Am I worried? No.
^ punishing the club is a big mistake ... they should punish the people who made the mistakes i mean the people who cheated
Seriously though. Why such a random number like 40 million euros? Why not just say "The club will be closed" ?
Mohammed Shalhoub, Nayef Hazazi and Mukhtar Fallatah have withdrawn from the NT's training camp after sustaining some injuries. Al Nasr's Zila3y has been called up to replace Shalhoub, I don't know who they're gonna call up to replace Hazazi and Fallatah.

yes ! its only a rumour and also ahmedov to ittihad and djiparov to shabab just rumours nothing is sure yet
I haven't been able to find anything on Azizbek but Al Ittihad are in negotiations to sign Odil Ahmedov from FC Anzhi Makhachkal
They're both on goal.com Dejaprov is confirmed for Shabab it's not a rumour. ALSO: By Royal Decree, Saudi Sport will have exclusive access to all Saudi local tournaments. Hopefully, they up their production values.
http://www.aleqt.com/2011/07/11/article_557899.html Saudi Sport channel will own the rights for 3 years. Whether it's right or wrong, it's late decision. As mentioned in the article, SSC will have only 2 months to prepare for SPL coverage. Currently there are only 2 channels and it's impossible to broadcast all 182 matches of the league, so probably they will sell some matches to Line Sport. I won't mind AbuDhabi getting in the business too, the more options we have the better quality the networks will offer.
I wonder how this will effect TV revenues for the clubs. I mean...Saudi Sport just got it for free right?
^ yes , and alarabiya has calculated the value of the league and they said the league's value is 20 million riyals or something . anyway they will sell it and the wooden channel will get extra millions for free , the FA and the clubs will get nothing .
WTF? dont they even think about it revenue wise? This is goig to affect clubs negatively..Strong Retard
