Good night to you sir, and your dreams of a world where Chinese business-men are some distant alien threat, sleep well, in the 1970s, and when you awake, just remember that when you see someone who doesn't look like you, or is as narrow mined as you, just remember they might support the villa and not be full of prejudice.

Go on then, give us a case study of a Chinese business person who you have respect for...

Sucker please.

OK - I am off Bruce too, but it aint binary - why are Bruce's enemies now our friends? They aint.

Oh hello! Here is the issue. You have just said that you are basing Tony on your experience of Chinese business people. You may as well have said they are all the same. Here's an idea, maybe all brummie business people are all the same, all landlocked and away from the seaside, and negative and generalising. I'd hate to assume that.

Have you considered the point of posting something along the lines of "Wow"? Anyway, Ross out.

I'd be careful about using the term 'we'.

OR - observing Ross Mcoremack's fall from grace and his inability to display any professionalism. But for sure he can be redeemed, just cos Bruce hasn't a clue and Ross really could open his gate and Bruce made it all up. For sure.

TERRIFIC! Inshallah we are blessed that Sir Ross of Mcoremack's gate was in such good working order that his desire to attend a FOOTBALL match for his EMPLOYER was able to be fulfilled.

Quite agreed, signing Gallagher clearly equals Bruce out.

What? He attended something he was contractually obliged to attend, for a change?

Twas all that was ever needed saying. FWIW I'm also Bruce Out, regrettably.

Same reason they might be with us.

Agreed, worst he can do is "stop that, pet!".

I'm sure there's a big gaping hole for someone of that calibre, just a pity he couldn't climb over his gate and catch a cab. Not sure what job you or I could hold on to with these sorts of excuses.
