...question that has so far defined my time in China never felt so apt as the morning when, bouncing along in the back seat of an old grey van through the winding dirt roads of Inner Mongolia, I realized that here, among the wide open grasslands and majestic mountains with air blowing through the windows and every bump throwing me up against the roof, I felt at home...

And if a club is unable to attract a prestige investor, it becomes essential to expand revenue - most importantly by increasing stadium capacity. Arsenal two years ago moved from the 38,000-seat Highbury to the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium, which helped the club double its annual revenues to $180 million. The problem, of course, is that building a new stadium takes massive capital investment, and Arsenal recently admitted that the annual interest payment on its new stadium is $48 million - meaning...
