[Fabio]

Isn't that dude someone on here mentioned for some reason a while ago?

Vaguest post ever...

Jen Chang is the senior editor for soccer at SI.com (the digital arm of the venerable American magazine Sports Illustrated). He heads editorial coverage of the beautiful game and writes regularly for SI.com.

We are not men, we are Binny.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

used to read his tweets when we were getting rid of the last owners, seems to know a fair amount about football/have reliable connections. hang on does 88 mean he's only 23 or was that just some random number?

 

[hmmmmm1]

He tweeted this on 9th May so he could know a thing or 2.....

In other Dutch winger news, Benfica have asked about Ola John. Twente's asking price is supposedly around €12-13M

Good luck to Jen Chang as the new director of communications at Liverpool. Jen is an old colleague from ESPN, and a big Liverpool fan.

[Judge Jules]

So we've just appointed a new Director of Comms.whose name is the same as that of the blueslime's sponsors?

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I sense a strong conflict of interests here......

 

[jexykrodic]

[King Binny]

[Buddha]

He looks the spit of Rafa.

 

[tony]

[Hansern]

He knows his football.

 

[Judge Jules]

So do you, mate, but I wouldn't necessarily want you in the job.

 

[westred]

it is a wind up has to be!

 

[Cerberus]

I've been following his tweets for ages. He talks decent stuff. I'm quite surprised by this all the same.

 

[Hansern]

I'd be great in that job Jules!!

Smells of Moneyball..

Invasion of foreigners at lfc?

 

[Vlads Quiff]

Is he going to be better that Ian Cotton - what did Cotton do for the past 16 years? At least people have heard of Jen Chang already.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

The sense of farce at Anfield deepened as the American owners managed to score another PR own goal over Luis Suarez.
Days after sacking the long-serving director of communications Ian Cotton — clearly a casualty of the Suarez debacle — an American journalist who has worked for Sports Illustrated and ESPN called Jen Chang was appointed in the role.
But on his Twitter account on December 20 Chang responded to the news of Suarez’s eight-match ban by stating that Patrice Evra, the victim of the racist abuse, should have been charged by the FA too.

Chang wrote: ‘Suarez decision aside, why is Patrice Evra not getting charged by FA? Evra admits in evidence he used insulting language towards Suarez.’​

tabloids already having a go already . Only problem here is that Chang was right !​

 

[Richey]

He's been mentioned on here before. Wasn't he the one who thought Aquilani was good and was tweeting about him a while back?

Hopefully he has nothing at all to do with team affairs

 

[Frogfish]

hang on does 88 mean he's only 23 or was that just some random number?

8 is a very lucky number for Chinese so it could be his DoB or it could just be superstition.

 

[rampage]

Crap, I thought it's Jennifer.

88 is double prosperity/wealth.
