Want to Manage China? Here’s Your Three Hour Written Exam. Posted: 26 Feb 2009 06:40 AM PST
Not because of the players - although one goal/no wins at the 2008 Olympics and an already failed World Cup 2010 qualification campaign don’t bode well. It’s more the expectation. The massive massive expectation from the biggest population in the history of planet earth. All of whom your team will eventually disappoint. So if you sign up to be manager of the Chinese national team, you’re basically signing up to get booed by 1.3 billion people. Which might explain why the hiring procedure sounds like a mix of high school and Guantanamo Bay.
The Chinese Football Authority has sent all four men to “a closed training base” for three days, where they’ll apparently be giving 15 minute presentations and sitting a three-hour written test on education, management and sport. And Yin Tiesheng has some typical pre-exam nerves:
I recommend writing a few “reminders” on your palm beforehand, and then trying not to sweat too much in the exam room. That second bit’s important. |

World Cup 2010 Tickets on Sale Tomorrow Morning Posted: 19 Feb 2009 02:03 PM PST You read that right. Tickets for the big show officially go on sale at 11am GMT tomorrow morning (Friday, Feb 20th, 2009). So I guess that means the tickets I bought off that one-eyed-fella in the pub last week are no good. I should have known official FIFA tickets weren’t printed on beermats. Curses. Reuters has all the facts, which we’ve used to answer a few questions:
How many WC2010 tickets are there altogether? Just over 3 million How many will go to sponsorship/hospitality/tv rights holders: 996,000 So a third of WC 2010 tickets are corporate giveaways? Yes Are you surprised? No How many are actually available to the public then? About 1.5 million So only about half? Yes Damn. Exactly How much do tickets cost? Anything from $20 to $900 Aren’t there some free tickets for South Africans? Yes. 120,000 free tickets for people from poor areas. Isn’t that quite generous? Yes. But also no. It’s about 10% the amount of free tickets being given to sponsors. |
