“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Abdulbasit Hindi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

175% of the income goes out in wages at Al-Ettifaq

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Mohammed Al-Essa signs on for more
