^Not even Tebow has 1 m followers.
However, Tebow just tweets passage numbers and go Broncos.

That's surprising, I guess it depends how long you've been on twitter and how active you are. Jack was pretty active over the past year or so and surpassed 1-million, but Van Persie really only tweets here and there and has just finally passed 800k.

Mario being Mario
| Quote: | Mario Balotelli 'buys entire pub a drink before £200 midnight mass donation'
Controversial Manchester City star Mario Balotelli enjoyed another late night before a big game - but this time it was at midnight mass, after enjoying a booze-free trip to a local pub and treating everyone to a round of drinks.

He may be a bit mad, but seems he has a good heart.

Goofy article, but apparently Mario is a smoker, according to Mancini.
I don't feel so bad about being one anymore ! (jk of course)
Mancini advises Balotelli over smoking

Roberto Mancini deserves to be sacked.

That is a bit harsh. If they collapse I think he will be though. I know they have a very busy schedule coming up but I think it was a mistake to sit Silva and Aguero today. They had a fantastic opportunity to put some distance between themselves and United today and failing to get anything out of that could end up being all the difference.

If he continues to spend wildly and irresponsibly, my opinion of him will sour. Leaving Micah Richards out of the CL was another headscratcher. He makes very awkward decisions, but he's done alot in his tenure here so I see no need to sack him.

This is only an acceptable post because if you're scrolling down the thread and you read it right after Wyzz's "Mancini advises Mario over smoking" post, it's hysterical. |

Here is a list of reasons why Mario is the ultimate Boss. Some of my favourites:
| Quote: | | Italy had just brought out a brand new home kit, at the start of the second half for their first match wearing the new kit, Balotelli came out in the old kit, claiming he didn’t like the new one. Nobody else had changed. |
| Quote: | | Was stopped by police going around his hometown of Hulme with £ 25,000 cash in the passenger seat. When asked why he replied “ because I’m rich” |
| Quote: | | Sent to the shops by his mother to buy essentials for the house, came back with a giant trampoline and a Vespa and a Scalectrix. |
| Quote: | | Had his friend approach girls in a nightclub and say “Balotelli will see you now” |
| Quote: | | Car has been impounded 27 times. |
| Quote: | | Whilst playing for Italy under 21’s, he is fouled, he sits on the pitch for 3-4 minutes ignoring the opposition, his team mates and the referee. |

Manchester is about to hire some current Barcelona executives and former technical secretary as they try to replicate Barcelona model of success.
This is all a Goal.com "exclusive"
| Quote: | Manchester City are considering appointing a Barcelona executive dream team in a move that would send shockwaves through European football, Goal.com can reveal.
Former Barcelona vice-president and general manager Ferran Soriano has emerged as the favourite to become the club's new chief executive, with Txiki Begiristain, the former Nou Camp dealmaker, working alongside him as director of football.
City’s Abu Dhabi owners have not yet made their final decision on the make-up of the club’s new high command but are close to authorising the most radical shake-up ever to how a leading Premier League outfit is run.
Soriano, who was on the Barcelona board between 2003 and 2008 as the club grew rapidly to become the second highest earning in the world, is the City board's chosen candidate to become the new CEO following a four-month search to find a successor to Garry Cook.
Goal.com understands that the 44-year-old was not on the original five-man shortlist drawn up by headhunters Odgers but he quickly emerged as a leading candidate when the club’s Abu Dhabi owners widened the search for a figure with a significant football background and made the final shortlist when it was narrowed down to two people.
City have also met with Begiristain, 47, the former Barcelona technical secretary, as they consider emulating the European champions’ model of success.
Soriano’s contacts, wide experience of football’s corridors of power and his role played in the spectacular growth of Barcelona’s fan base and worldwide appeal have impressed City’s top brass.
The lifelong Barca fan and chairman of Spanish airline Spainair since 2009 also speaks English and is well known at European football’s top table. At Barcelona he had a spell as general manager and was a member of the executive committee of the now disbanded G14.
It is believed that City want Begiristain, who spent seven years at Barcelona before leaving in 2010 when his ally Joan Laporta was replaced as the club’s president, to work alongside Soriano and take charge of the club’s recruitment policy.
At the Nou Camp, Begiristain oversaw a talent drive that brought the likes of Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o and Dani Alves to the club.
It would be regarded as a huge statement by City if Abu Dhabi give the green light to the former Barcelona pair as a leading Premier League club has never before been run by executives with impeccable European credentials.
“Soriano is well suited to the post,” a source told Goal.com. “He is a football person who knows his way around European football politics and has experience of running arguably the biggest club in the world.
"He is also a smooth operator, very well known among the big clubs, has commercial expertise and speaks very good English.” |
Manchester City close in on ground-breaking appointment of Barcelona executive dream team
