I thought they were way over the limit, fair play to them if they weren't. I'm not sure I'd call it interesting. Although it might just be the 'NSC fans' rather than the proper ones.

:lol: Thanks for the reply. Clever? You're saying that the FL and UEFA will allow BS like that? So every club can do it, and ignore FFP? Impressive. And Rhodes? When in 2016?

I'm not convinced Xi Jinping knows what he's doing.

It's surprising China aren't better at football, seeing as they did invent the sport :whistle:

I hope he doesn't mention Palace, even as a small club, unless it's at the end of a list including the likes of Yeovil and Grimsby.

The deal isn't done yet. #holdthenerve
