One by one they leave their conscience behind and head to the place no one in their right mind would want to work or live.

Saudi Arabia.

Land of the super rich – and much more besides. Like terrorism, beheadings, human rights abuses, murder, censorship and persecution.

The State with the longest crime sheet in the history of humanity is now home to some of the biggest footballers on the planet.

Superstar names who have moved there in return for mind-blowing amounts of dollars.

Blood money, from people now in the middle of a full-scale sportwashing drive of shameless but also epic proportions. The idea is simple.

Do you think Saudi Arabia should host the World Cup? Let us know in the comments section.

    The rulers of Saudi don’t like people discussing things like war, or murders like the assassination of investigative journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    Remember him?

    Thankfully, unlike in Saudi, free speech has not been banned in England.

    So it’s still safe to talk and write about how the Saudis getting their blood-soaked claws into football and other sports, like F1 and golf, has come at quite a cost.

    The Saudi-backed LIV Golf series created a civil war in the sport – and now has the keys to the front door of it after the PGA Tour and DP World Tour rolled over and had their tummies tickled.

    Indeed, the capitulation has been so fast and farcical that just last week R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers admitted his organisation would now take Saudi investment by way of sponsorship.

    And now the Saudis are taking a stranglehold on the most popular sport of the lot.

    So much so that the Premier League is starting to resemble a feeder one for the Saudi Pro-League, instead of being the biggest and best in the world.

    Three stars from Liverpool alone have traded Anfield for Arabia.

    Saudi’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is said to be worth $620 billion – and all these gazillions help make that nation look better and pretend heinous crimes don’t happen there.

    This is what some of our finest footballers are now choosing to do.

    IF FIFA president Gianni Infantino grants the Saudis their greatest wish of all, it will perhaps become the worst sporting crime known to man.
