Just been taken over by... the Chinese with mega money.

There's no "just been" there. They were taken over by a Chinese consortium who assumed -- and did not expunge -- a large amount of debt a year ago. They followed through on their promise of spending a lot of money, but went backwards, and there are serious questions about whether see they this as a long term investment.

Chelsea had better lock Conte in a very secure gaol as I think someone like Barcelona are sniffing around. I'm sure that is why Chelsea were keen for him to sign a new and better contract. Maybe he will stay if they could sign Messi. Would be funny if Suarez ended up at the Bridge!!
Article in the Mail yesterday suggested that he wants a big pay rise to stay. Don't know where they get this stuff , but I like the idea that even Chelsea can get treated like this. He is bound to get a bonus and pay rise....just depends if another club will top it. He's got the EPL title....he might feel the only way is down now.

The deal was only completed about 2-3 months ago.
 
By the way, anyone noticed none of the 3pm games are listed on SportsMania?

I think the pressure on ?legal streams is increasing, far less options these days.

is supposed to show the Saints game but my experience on that site is it's fairly average flash quality.

P.S. do not access this site from a NHS computer :)

From BBC Text:
The game is still going on, I assure you, but there is absolutely nothing happening of any note. Swansea are holding a beaten, heartless Sunderland at arm length with a just a little finger on the forehead.
