Thomas Cook by all accounts. Why are we still tied up with a dying company on it's last legs, who can't seem to organise a piss-up in a brewery or, in this case, a flight to China

Not a great start now is it.
I absolutely hate these preseason tours. I know why they are done but from a football perspective they are a pile of shite. It would be much better done at or closer to home than flying around the world.
Do we really need to do this every year now...

In fact this preseason touring bollocks is worse than international football bollocks.

Have to generate your own income, fair play and all that :D

Heaven forbid an owner should invest in his business

Indeed it is. From a football perspective these tournaments are awful.The commercial aspect is another matter.
