I don’t think it is comparable as the Chinese spending was driven by companies given permission to do so but under the understanding it drove the domestic game to better heights. Saudi spending is done with much deeper pockets and a broader goal.
And to make what you said explicit…the entity using football in this way is the source of the money. They are perfectly aligned and the spending will only stop when MBS decides its time to stop.

Andrey Santos from Chelsea to Forest on loan.
I know he is part of the crew they brought in with this 800+ million of spending, but I have no idea who this is or what he does
This is the most perfect story - a club who buys players they have no room or use for loans him out to a club who just says “fuck it, we’ll take him” to everyone.
Matthis Abline from Rennes to Nantes on loan.
Angelo Stiller from Hoffenheim to Stuttgart for €5.5m.
Luka Ivanusec from Dinamo Zagreb to Feyenoord for €8.5m.
Omar Richards from Forest to Olympiacos on loan.
Daniel Peretz from Maccabi Tel Aviv to Bayern for €5m.
He played and looked decent in pre-season too but they had no interest in giving him a chance.
Same story with Angelo. 18 years old, already made 100 appearances for Santos playing in big competitions. Signs for Chelsea for £15m and does well in pre-season… he’s been loaned to Strasbourg (who have some sort of ownership link to Chelsea).
Wonder where they are going to loan Deivid Washington to.
Between Angelo, Santos and Washington they’ve spent more than we spent on MacAllister but would anyone be surprised if none of them ever actually play for Chelsea?
