Sounds like a good deal for Europeans and a terrible for Qataris. Europeans get the oil, Qataris get to brand football stars and make decisions at some clubs.

A lot of what Qatar does is a branding exercise, though. They are awash with cash and are trying to improve their image on the world stage through whatever means possible to them. They bought Harrod's for the lulz basically. I doubt you would find a single native Qatari that would complain, though.
