Or maybe not…
Wang Jian has passed away after a fall in France.

Or it maybe another Wang Jian…
Whatever.
In that case bad news for Golf as they (HNA) were big sponsors

I am told it is that Wang. Yet some of the facts like age etc don’t tally between the Reuters report & Wiki fr example.
While there ā€œmay wellā€ have been games being played behind the scenes by him and NC, the rumours are that Gao is still not meeting his obligations and we are running from cash flow.
Might even have implications for FIFA IF it is the same Jian as Wanda are now one of their main sponsors.

Only rumours and not substantiated at the moment

If I was on fiverweb, I could start a real rant.

Spurs have installed Dyson Airblades in their toilets at their new Stadium

And as for their catering…

Any news on the upgrade of the SMS facilities that Gao was paying for this summer?
Apart from removing the (only 2 years old) LED Floodlights?

Jeez we’ve seen what decadent pampered players produce on-field…WTF are pampered decadent fans going to produce? :lou_facepalm_2:

Southampton

Spot-on Saints

Despite battling relegation for most of the previous campaign, the struggling south coast club actually only conceded one goal from a penalty during the whole season - the joint fewest number in the entire top flight.

There were very few positives that I noticed during the season and I was looking carefully.

That’s because our shite defenders can’t get close enough to the opposition’s strikers to foul them

In a team that will supply the ball to him early he’ll get goals.
That’s not to say we don’t need a more physical type of striker…still hoping.

Yoshida, JWP and Austin staying then?

Yeah. Also it looks like they just washed the home shirt with a red woolly jumper.

That’s a good summary of things. They’re being optimistic with 12th though. I’ll go 14th or 15th.

We got Brighton in the League cup. Away. 27th August.
