Nice one.
Mark Clattenburg, who refereed the biggest finals in soccer in 2016, would consider a transfer from the English Premier League to the wealthy and ambitious Chinese Super League.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent by Chinese clubs on high-profile talent, including Argentina striker Carlos Tevez this week, in a bid to become a soccer superpower.
"China are certainly looking to develop their football, looking at their signings and their recruitment," Clattenburg told The Associated Press. "If an opportunity came along — I am contracted to the Premier League — but I have to look at my long-term strategy of my career. How long can I last as a referee? I have been in the Premier League 12 years. It's been a wonderful 12 years.
"There is no offer on the table but if they made an offer it would be under consideration. But at the moment I still enjoy working for the Premier League and UEFA.".
Cunt.
He's a cunt but... It's not hard to understand why he would go to China.
I'm not sure why they would though, but I can only assume they have been talking a bit with him, since he is talking about it.

By Elchele Go To Postyou can't sign referees from other confederations… can you?
Why wouldn't they?
Whenever his contract is up, he is surely free to move wherever he wants and ref there.
By Plasma Go To PostHope he takes Mike Dean with him.If they are the best the Prem and federation can offer you don't want the officials waiting in the wings. Ask NFL fans
I can see the motive for going to China: money. That's about it. He can probably afford a man servant there too.

is it true?

what a woman
So that's why Mendes announced the China offer, so Spanish outlets could write hilariously fawning pieces like this.

I think Levy is about to reward him with an improved contract

Stunning bollocks.
You might not have seen the current Star Wars movie. In which case I won’t ruin it by revealing any top-secret plot twists, like the imperial weapon‑shield with one small fatal flaw; the return of a bullish, roided-up Darth Vader; or the usual mawkish family stuff that can only be resolved by the violent death of a male parent.
Aside from that you’ll find all the usual things. Infomercial-level acting that doesn’t matter because there are some excellent “fffft” and “zzzzz” weapon noises going on in the background. Good bits where stormtroopers make crackly 1950s‑style small talk just before being killed. And above all the familiar organic landscape of junk, robot-men and animated machines that is the real star of these films and the most obvious reason for their staggering success.
This interaction between machine world and human world is what Star Wars is really all about. Everywhere organic details intrude. The shiny new space station already has a worm in its garbage compactor. The Imperial AT-AT walkers imitate the movements of half‑speed camels and end up being capsized by a few bears with bits of string. The entire opening trilogy rests on whether Darth Vader really is more machine than man or man than machine.
The obvious comparison is with Charles Dickens, franchise juggernaut of a previous age. Dickens’ novels were also full of schmaltz and sentiment. They were also redeemed by this same astonishing imaginative landscape where buildings come alive, people turn into machines, the industrial world intrudes into the world of people, and where the real question in every story is whether the people can both survive and remain recognisably themselves.
All of which is quite a roundabout way of getting on to the glorious return of Yaya Touré.
Stunning bollocks.

enjoy the template uniforms.
at least the other gear in the line will be dope :(
The club's five-year deal with Under Amour, worth £50 million total, ends at the end of this season and the sources said the deal with Nike is worth roughly three times that.
Spurs will join rivals Chelsea in wearing Nike shirts from the start of the 2017-18 season but the deal is still someway short of the Blues' record-breaking 15-year contract with the U.S. sportswear giant, worth £60m annually.
The deal will bring Spurs in line with rivals Arsenal, who earn £30m a year from Puma, but they are also behind Manchester United, who have a deal with Adidas said to be worth £75m per year. Manchester City reportedly earn around £12m annually from Nike although that deal is up for renewal in 2019.

By domino Go To Posthttp://www.espnfc.com/tottenham-hotspur/story/3028528/tottenham-seal-deal-to-switch-kit-from-under-amour-to-nike-sourcesSo true. Adidas is winning right now IMO
