Golac's Cunning Stunts

He is 36

Just hope we don't get Big Fat Sam as part of this package.

Found a good interview with Mr Jianlin http://www.tomspender.com/stories/interview-with-dalian-wandas-wang-jianlin/ And Wang, an avid football fan, was really in the spotlight in July when he provided US$95 million to sponsor the Chinese Super League. Wanda sponsored a Dalian football team in the early 1990s but Wang later withdrew after becoming disillusioned with corruption and match-fixing. But he says he has been encouraged by signs that the Chinese Football Association is cleaning up its act and wants to help Chinese football flourish. Wang also bristles at suggestions that his involvement in football makes him ‘China’s Roman Abramovich’, referring to the Russian billionaire who owns London’s Chelsea football club. “There is no disrespect intended, I just mean to say that there are different paths for making a fortune,” he says. “Most Russian billionaires just grabbed a share of state-owned assets and became rich overnight. Chinese businessmen started from scratch and developed step by step.” In any case, he says, the sponsorship’s aim is to develop young Chinese footballers through its ‘Chinese Football Star of Hope’, in which gifted young Chinese players will be sent to train with Atletico Madrid, Villareal and Valencia in Spain.

Wang is 57 years old, lives in Beijing, is married with one son. ENDS

This thread has rapidly gone south...as expected... How long before Barry Beardall gets a mention? oops...

The truth lies somewhere in between this drivel and the Daily Mail Love in of recent months

How would I know if they are personal? They obviously are personal though unless you know better which I seriously doubt

Cortese wasn't just any old chairman. He sold the club and his vision to many, including the manager and playing staff. The vision didn't come from Ms Liebherr that's for sure. What annoys me is that this decision has been made because of personal reasons, not for the good of the club. Getting rid of Cortese now is the equivalent of performing a lobotomy - no brain is now in control, no brain is now guiding the strategy.

Happy Birthday Mickey. You made many a childhood Saturday at the Dell so memorable. Top player top man.

Congrats on your one year anniversary here Bazza. That's quite some going 5k posts in 1 year, nearly 14 posts a day.

Even Man City have an ongoing commentary about us these days http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=258733&hilit=southampton

The guy with Zabaleta is almost as big a footballing genius as CMFG

Boning the boss's daughter in all fairness will always be a career limiting move.

Not to mention 3 x (the equivalent of) Champions League winner. No, definitely not pivotal....

This is the exact opposite of what I have been told. Also, why on Earth do you think the clubs would already have agreed a fee?

This from Liverpool forum: "Kudos to Southampton, they were everything we were not. They won every 1 v 1 duel. They were quicker to every ball. Their pressing from the front was sublime. It looked like we were playing a man down." This from Scouser Robbie Fowler: no-one really played well but Southampton produced a good workman-like team performance.

That is a top read Bearsy. I like the way you have gone for a serious slant but your obvious comedic powers have still been allowed full reign. Good facts about wolf's penises that I wasn't aware of too.

What's with all the bitterness? A manager who won us promotion twice. You should be ashamed.

OK Bearsy, stop pretending to be Dalek now. I can see right through it. Dalek would never say he doesn't know about something

Don't do sarcasm then?

Neil Lennon is a good man and a good manager. He certainly isn't a "little numpty" as you describe. He has developed the player from a nobody to a £12.5 mill star. Not sure what your beef is.

We get a lot of mentions on this thread http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=287084

WTF? Now that is surreal.

Can't remember, but who were the c-o-c-k-s on here who were adamant that Forren was being trained up for next season? I remember trying to debate this with them at the time and getting shouted down as not knowing anything.

What, as opposed to making up cr@p for some computer game :-)

Why? It is substandard and boring.
