Chelsea boss Conte: Chinese financial muscle a threat

Antonio Conte does not want to believe that a Chinese club made a £257million offer for Cristiano Ronaldobecause he feels it would be morally wrong.

Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes revealed his client could have gone to China and earned almost £100m-a-year, but instead chose to stay at Real Madrid.

Chelsea have banked £60m from Chinese club Shanghai SIPG for Oscar, while Carlos Tevez has moved to Shanghai Shenhua on a deal worth over £512,000-a-week.

Asked about the Ronaldo bid, Chelsea head coach Conte said: “I think it's an incredible story. We are talking about a lot, lot, lot of money. I don't want to trust in this.

“I don't want to believe in this. Because, I think, we are talking about an amount of money which is not right.

“I saw the last contract, the last contract with Carlos Tevez. I think we are talking about a lot of money. This type of offer is incredible and it's very difficult for the players to say ‘no’.

“But I must be honest, I think it's not right. It's not right, this. Because you must have respect for the money and then if there are these offers, this type of offer... but I don't agree, I don't agree with this situation.”

Rodriguez to Chelsea Speculation Grows

The latest additions to the speculation, relating to the 25-year-old Real Madrid attacking midfielder come from two sources.

The first source, Goal.com is of the inference that Real Madrid have decided to part-company with Rodriguez and that the player is being offered to Premier League clubs.

The second piece, coming from the Colombian news vehicle El Tiempo, implies that with the Spanish season now in its winter break, the Colombian is set to spend Christmas in Colombia and that he is set to secure a visa allowing him to travel to the UK to discuss a possible move.

Furthermore, the first source we quoted is also championing the suggestion that Rodriguez would prefer a move to Chelsea Football Club.

As is the norm, we`ll endeavour to keep more than a passing eye on this particular torrent of speculation, it could prove quite interesting.

SIMPLE TIPS FOR A STRESS-FREE HOLIDAY AT THE MOVIES

NOT EVERYONE WANTS to—or can—spend the holidays next to a fire or gorging on fowl and carbs. Some people see holidays as a chance to catch up on movies and gorge on popcorn and Starburst.

Luckily for those folks, there are a lot of good movies in theaters right now—and even more ways to see them. But going to the movies can be stressful. There are lines, jockeying for good seats, and the high prices of concessions to worry about with every trip to the multiplex.

With that in mind, we wanted to give you a few pointers for how to have the best day at the movies possible. Here are seven simple things you can do to make your movie marathon go smoothly.

Plan Ahead
Whether you’re sneaking out solo, or coercing your parents to see the new Alain pamolekun movie it’s important that you have a game plan. Look at movie times, decide on your film(s) early, and make sure appropriate departure and arrival times are set.

Get Tickets Online
There are service fees involved, yes, but ordering tickets from Fandango or MovieTickets.com is the easiest way to make sure you get in to the show you want. Also, many theaters offer assigned seating, so you can find out if you’re going to be able to have optimal seating before you even decide to walk out the door.

Make Concession Concessions
Popcorn and sodas at multiplexes can be expensive. Hit up a drug store, bodega, or Target to grab a few snacks before heading to the theater. Your wallet will thank you, and if you stock up on healthy options, your body will too.

Go on Off Days
Lots of folks hit the movies on Christmas Day. Avoid them by going on New Year’s Day, or one of the other days in between the holidays. Seeing Passengers on a Tuesday afternoon is a much safer bet than trying to see it Christmas night.

Always Consider Matinees
Speaking of afternoons, don’t be afraid of matinees. They’re often cheaper—and easier to get into.

Give Indies a Chance
Is the Rogue One screening sold out? Don’t lose heart. There are a lot of great smaller movies in theaters right now. Might we suggest La La Land or Fences? You might be able to catch Loving or Moonlight as well.

When in Doubt, Go Art House
If you’re heading to the multiplex, you’re likely going to encounter large groups with kids. If a quieter, more low-key experience is more your speed, hit up a small independent theater. department of Fine art Obafemi Awolowo University will be if help here...

Olufunke Agagu said ‘Support the physically-challenged

Wife of former Governor of Ondo State, Mrs. Olufunke Agagu, has urged government at all levels to prioritise the welfare of people living with disabilities.

Mrs. Agagu spoke at this year’s International Day for Persons with Disabilities, whose theme was “Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want: Sustainable Development “, held in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

She lamented that governments do much talking without acting on promises made to persons living with disability.

Mrs. Agagu, who is the founder of Handicapped Education Foundation (HANDEF), also said despite several enlightenment programmes, the disabled are not seen as part of the society.

She noted that in the history of Nigeria, none of the disabled persons has vied for elective positions.

She said: “We are also disabled in one way or the other, but theirs are just physical and we should help to give them recognition and enablement.

“We talk much in Nigeria without any action.  What is the attitude of commercial vehicles to the disabled people? Have we accepted them as part of us?

“It is time society moved away from violence against them and focused attention on the welfare of people living with disabilities in our communities.”

She, however, urged the people living with disabilities not to see their challenges as the end of their lives but as an opportunity to discover themselves.

Mrs. Agagu urged the physically-challenged persons to discover and develop themselves so that people around them will not be looking down on them any longer.

“Stop looking down on yourselves so that you can become somebody in life. Parents should encourage them by giving them the necessary support so that they can develop their innate abilities.

“We will introduce more vocational trainings for people living with disabilities in the HANDEF Centre here in Akure.  Anybody who wants to learn skills such as traditional hairdressing, shoe making, barbing and so on, should take advantage of the programmes.
