With FFP beginning to be felt by clubs in Europe, I have a plan to massively improve the financial conditions in the middle east (saudi, bahrain, jordan, uae and qatari) leagues. This will create an interesting split as the traditional talent production centers fight with the new Arab money. It would also add another high quality area of football outside of Europe.

Would there be any interest in this before I set off on the mammoth task of setting it up? If anyone wants to help that would be much appreciated.

So I got creative, and thinking about FFP and Xavi's proposed move to Qatar and their bid for the world cup and I tried to imagine what would happen if the Arabs made a play for world football in a big way by bankrolling their clubs and competitions.
Throught the magic of Football Manager Editor I've made an Arab money set of files; essentially over the first few years of your game the clubs from Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Oman and Bahrain will accumulate wealth very quickly and begin making bids for European players, youth prospects etc. Their leagues are also playable in this update, and have high reps, because I was bored of playing entirely in Europe where every league is more or less the same. Would anyone be interested in trying this out? It's still a work in progress. I've holidayed 3 years in and things do get quite interesting as the European clubs attempt to reinvest the money the Arabs pay for their talent.
