It's not terrible but it's not like the Chinese food you get in you local takeaway either. It's not exactly a reason why a footballer would not play there. I'm sure they can afford to go to proper restaurants rather than go to a stall in the street 😂 Edited June 18, 2023 by will-i-am-a-jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naisys Tackle Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Needless to say he wont be here: Preston North End have had two bids rejected by Rangers for winger Scott Wright - with a deal now in the balance for the Scotsman. Wright was only a bit-part player under Michael Beale last season after the Englishman joined from QPR in the World Cup break, and failed to cement his place in a side that featured competition such as Todd Cantwell, Fashion Sakala, Ianis Hagi and Rabbi Matondo all ahead of him in the pecking order. That has left Wright's future in the lurch, with Ryan Lowe willing to take him to Lancashire as they aim to push for the play-off spots. But it now appears that the Deepdale side will move onto new targets as a deal looks unlikely - despite Wright not having a future at Ibrox - according to LancsLive.

They will make profit but it’s never enough for them. kind of my thoughts, although I do take on board other replies . Sometimes clubs just have to take what they can get for a player.

It's multi factorial, but part of it is the Chinese government no longer seeing football as a useful political lever. IIRC, the Chinese government had some big plans of having a top international team and competing for World Cups by 2030? This was about 2015/16, they started investing so heavily in their game, and at that point 2030 seemed like so long away. Now it's only the World Cup after next, and China's fortunes are no better whatsoever. Currently ranked 81st in the World rankings. It is quite astonishing in some ways when you think of a nation like China and the fact they've only qualified for 1 World Cup (arguably aided by the fact that Japan and South Korea automatically qualified) and have never won the Asian Nations Cup. Also, has there ever been a truly World class Chinese player? All this from a nation of 1 billion people. You compare them with nearby countries like the aforementioned Japan and South Korea, who while still largely populated countries, are merely a fraction of China's population, yet have gained a reputation in World football for being reasonable footballing nations.
