His alleged disappearance prompted speculation the firm was being drawn into Beijing’s corruption crackdown. China Telecom is the biggest fixed-line phone provider and the third-biggest mobile provider in China.

Van Gaal’s saltiness with the media was on exhibit earlier this week, as well, when he walked out of a news conference on Wednesday after complaining of false reports published in England that said he had already been sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho, the recently fired Chelsea manager.

The statement requiring voters to sign in the voting booth simply states, “My signature below indicates that I am a Republican”. Promoters say that it is crucial to ensure that Democratic voters and non-Republicans do not sabotage the GOP primaries.

Asked if he would be in charge for the game, Van Gaal said: “You will have to wait and see”.


Districts’ Opposite Responses to Terrorism Threat
Yesterday, an email containing a terrorist threat prompted the Los Angeles school district to close all of its schools. In LA, the school board member who received the threat immediately contacted school district police, Det.

He put that down to his players’ fear of failure and conceded that United must somehow find the courage to overcome that if they are to arrest their slide.
