Last updated : 22 July 2007 By Editor

"We consider ourselves a major global brand.

"The club is prepared to travel anywhere to promote its image and the game.

"Even North Korea would not be a problem for us, should the right conditions apply.

"I understand from a survey that was carried out recently that we have an enormous number of fans in Vietnam, so maybe that is somewhere that we might look to visit in the future.

"It just seems like the whole of the Far East has a lot of respect and affection for our club and we have to serve that as best we can."
