China Watch: Newcastle's Cheick Tiote to China
Long-time Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote is the latest to sign a contract with a Chinese club and he's not even going to the first tier of Chinese football, known as the Chinese Super League. Apparently he'll be playing for Beijing Enterprises Group FC, in Chinese League One, which is technically the second tier.
P.S. Beijing Enterprises Group has to be the world's worst name for a soccer team (the world's best name being BSC Young Boys, from the Swiss Super League). Beijing Enterprises Group sounds like a paper corporation set up to hide the earnings of some wicked, Chinese crime over-lord who has one eye and lives on his own island where he sits petting his white kitty and waiting for Bruce Lee or James Bond to come looking for him. Beijing Enterprises Group?? Really???
