There are no elite athletes in China?

Speaking on the Rush Hour, he was wondering which team will be willing to apparently give up a home game to play against Port.
"Keith Thomas, their CEO, has said 'don't worry, we're gonna be the away team', but very quickly added 'but we'll retain all the rights of a home team,'" JB said.
"So in other words, you're asking a club to forfeit a home team but get no rights once there."
JB also wanted to know how long single clubs had been allowed to sell their own media rights for.
"As single-entity football clubs we're allowed to sell our content are we?" he asked.
"Because I might just get on the phone to Star TV, get our names written on the back and sell it to India and make an absolute fortune.
"Haven't been able to do that to date, but clearly that's changed has it?"
JB was also interested to find out how Port managed to get the deal through after a "very, very, very powerful club" had a similar attempt knocked back in the past.
"[They] went down the path of trying to sell content overseas, had a buyer, had a deal pretty much ready to go, and were told they couldn't do it."

McLachlan said there's more than one willing opponent and there's been an understanding that one club is "all in" for some time.
JB can go munch another cock.

The man involved actually tried to purchase the biggest cattle farm in Australia and the federal government didn't allow it upon review by the foreign investment committee.

Correct. Was turned down on the grounds of national security. Is obviously trying anything possible to be successful this time.
