China’s two adults, Guangdong and Fujian, which combine supply at normal trading hours, over a quarter of Macau’s gaming gross revenue (GGR), appear to be recovering fastest from COVID-19 lockdowns, a report by brokers Sanford C. Bernstein and Co LLC said on Wednesday.
The report cites two GGR contributions based on casino operator information, Nielsen’s investigation, and the brokerage’s monopoly analysis and estimates.
The data showed that economic activity in mainland China’s “Fujian, particularly the southern cities of Xiamen and Guangdong (China’s most populous provinces of 114 million),” is recovering the fastest.
Many brokers have speculated over the past few months that Macau tourism could begin in phases, starting with visits to the mainland, due to numerous travel restrictions across China and the Asia-Pacific to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Next to Macau on Hengchin Island (file photo) – a section of mainland territory touted by mainland authorities as a non-game tourist hub to complement Macau – The Chimelong International Marine Resort will reopen on Thursday (April 30) to coincide with China’s Labor Day holiday. The Chinese State Council has designated May 1-5 as this year’s vacation period.
According to reports, the relaunch of Kimmelon will be based on limited capacity rather than the usual 30 percent or more. Indoor attractions will remain closed, and some performances at the theme park will also not be seen.
Mainland residents who want to visit Chimelong, which is still subject to a 14-day quarantine, will need to register online in advance and book an online entry ticket online. Upon entering Chimelong, visitors must declare their health and undergo a temperature check.
Kangwon Land Inc., the resort’s promoter, submitted to the Korea Exchange on Tuesday, showed that the maximum daily opening hours and maximum number of mass table games at Kangwon Land (pictured), the country’s only casino allowed for domestic service, have recovered to March 2018 levels.
The company said on the same day it was notified by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of a change in conditions for its casino business. The company said it was informed of a change in conditions for its casino business under the “permission” process referred to by the company.
Under the changes, the casino can operate for 20 hours a day, instead of the 18 that were allowed. The number of tables for table games can be increased from 160 to 180.
The new maximum reflects what was allowed until early 2018. The company announced in December 2017 that the Korean government had ordered casinos to be opened less.
Kangwon Land posted a deficit of 156.1 billion won in the first quarter of 2020, with a profit of 102.4 billion won in the same period last year.
Casino sales fell 39.2% to 200 billion won in the January-March period from 329 billion won a year earlier.
The group did not comment on the reasons for the drop in casino sales. However, casinos at the resort were temporarily closed locally on Feb. 23 as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19 infections. Due to repeated extended shutdown periods, casinos did not reopen, albeit partially, until May 8.
In a filing announcing the permission to reopen on May 7, the company said it expects casino loss sales calculated from the start of casino shuttering on February 23 to reach KRW 267.8 billion.
JP Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Ltd said in a note on Tuesday that the new opening times and table numbers for properties at Kangwon Land came after the relevant ministries “renewed their casino licenses for three years.”
Analysts DS Kim, Derek Choi, and Jeremy An wrote, “With prior license renewals in 2017, the Department of Education abruptly reduced its volume table capacity (from up to 180 tables to 160 tables) and operating hours (from 20 hours to 18 hours per day), which has now been reversed.”
However, the securities firm added, “Details such as the schedule (including when large floors can reopen) and implementation (actual number of floor tables, social distancing rules, etc.) need to be discussed further with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.”
Nevertheless, the agency said it was “a sign that the regulatory environment in Gangwon is turning more friendly,” but added that it was “not entirely surprising given the unprecedented downturn caused by COVID-19.”
“Our understanding is that increased capacity and operating hours will last through the licensing period until the end of 2023, which will be an advantage for this (serious) limited-capacity casino over the next few years,” the analysts added.
Son Ah-seop (36, NC Dinos) and Yang Hyun-jong (36, KIA Tigers), who are looking to become the No. 1 player in KBO League hits and strikeouts this season, are moving forward.
Son has been showing off his formidable batting performance lately. In the three games from the match against the LG Twins in Changwon on Tuesday, he had 10 hits in 15 times at bat (0.667 batting average). His batting cycle seems to be on the rise in May, although his batting average was slightly poor at 0.271 (30 games, 35 hits in 129 times at bat) between March and April.
Son is also good at hitting once his batting performance increases. In 2017, when Son had the most 193 hits in a single season, he had 39 hits in 27 games in August. Last year, he became the first batting king of his career, showing off his strong batting performance. “When I become the batting king, I become more motivated (to achieve the record),” Son said at the time.
Attention is also focusing on Son’s ability to become the No. 1 hit in the KBO League. Son has added 10 hits in the recent three games to post 2,461 hits in total. He is only 43 hits shy of Park Yong-taek’s (2,504 hits), the No. 1 player in this category. He is highly likely to achieve it in the first half of this season, and it is worth aiming at achieving it as early as early as early June.
Yang is poised to break the overall strikeout record in the KBO League within this season. He started seven games this season and struck out 33 in 44.2 innings. Since the game against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on April 13, he has recorded quality start (QS, pitching six innings or more and three earned runs or less) in four consecutive games, including one complete game, and during this period he tied for fourth with Kim Kwang-hyun (SSG Landers) in the strikeout category with 25. Yang, who currently has 1980 strikeouts in his personal total, is now 68 points closer to Song Jin-woo (2048), the top player in this category. As he often strikes out three-digit strikeouts every season, he is highly likely to achieve it within this season.
Prior to these two, Kang Min-ho (2,238 games, 2,269 games now) broke the KBO League record by playing against the LG Twins in Jamsil on March 28, shortly after the opening of this season. Kang also surpassed Park Yong-taek, who had previously held the record. After Kang Min-ho, Choi Jung (SSG) surpassed Lee Seung-yeop (current manager of Doosan Bears, 467 home runs), who was the previous No. 1 player in the KBO League home run category, against the Lotte Giants in Sajik on the 24th of last month.
Muncy made four hits (three homers) and four RBIs from five times at bat in a game against the Atlanta Braves in the “2024 Major League” held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on Saturday. Muncy led the team’s great victory by hitting three home runs (in the second inning) to gain the upper hand of the game, home runs (in the seventh inning) to win the game away from Atlanta’s pursuit, and home runs (in the eighth inning) to celebrate his team’s great victory.
Muncy is a hitter who has recorded 188 home runs in the Major League so far. He is now in the top 10 in Dodgers franchise history. Since moving to Dodgers in 2018, he has recorded 35 home runs all of a sudden, with 35 home runs in 2019, 36 in 2021, and 36 last year, making four seasons with more than 30 home runs. He is considered one of the most popular OPS-type hitters in the league. However, Muncy has never had three home runs in a game.
Even in the long history of the Dodgers, it is not easy to find “three homers in a game.” He was recorded as the 19th player in the history of the Dodgers to hit more than three homers in a game. Choi Hee-sup, who we are glad to see, was summoned to the club. Choi is also a member of the club.
After dropping out of college, Choi tried to challenge for i Major League, and made his debut in the Major League with the Chicago Cubs in 2002, and after going through a trade, he joined the LA Dodgers in 2004. In 2005, he posted a batting average of 0.253, 15 homers, 42 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.789 in 133 games, displaying stellar performance in his performance. 2005 was Choi’s last season in the Major League.
In his career, Choi has recorded a total of four multi-homer games and only three homers in a game. It was a game against Minnesota at the Dodger Stadium, which was held on June 13, 2005. At the time, Choi left a strong impression on his fans by hitting one homerun each in the first, fourth and sixth innings. All three of his home runs flew over the right fence. It was Choi’s life-long game.
Choi’s record at the time was the eighth “three homers in a game” in Dodgers’ history. Prior to that, Mike Piazza (1996) and Sean Green (2001-2002) had recorded it. After Choi, this record was not released for a while, but Andre Idea achieved it in 2009, and Juan Uribe (2013), Yasmani Grandal (2016), Adrian González (2015-2016), Corey Seager (2016-2017), Yasiel Puig (2018), Justin Turner (2019), A.J. Pollock (2019), Mookie Betts (2020), and Trace Thompson (2023).
In any case, it is welcome news to hear Muncy’s batting performance improve. Muncy had some difficulties as his batting average declined over the past two years. He had a batting average of 0.196 in 2022 and a batting average of only 0.212, respectively in 2023. However, no matter how OPS-type batters are, their batting average has fallen too low, which has led to a prolonged slump. However, this year, he recovered his level when he was in good spirits with a batting average of 0.262 and an on-base percentage of 0.369 in the first 31 games. He also boasts an excellent OPS of 0.921. The Dodgers was already on fire until Muncy.
Today (Friday, June 11), a foreigner-only casino newly located in Jeju Dream Tower, a new resort located in the capital of the Korean resort island of Jeju, will open.
Lawrence Teo, chief operating officer and vice president of Lotte Tour Development Inc., the resort’s promoter, confirmed by email to GGRA on Wednesday, the opening day of casinos on Friday (pictured).
On Thursday, an official from Jeju’s local government confirmed to GGRAsia that Lotte-branded casinos had passed authorities’ inspections of “casino tools” and security cameras on Wednesday.
The casino license for the Jeju Dream Tower site technically refers to the transfer of the casino license that was applied to Lotte Hotel Jeju on Jeju’s southern coast. Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong signed the license transfer on Apr. 8. The casino in Lotte Hotel Jeju closed on Apr. 9.
According to a Monday press release from Lotte Tourism Development, the casino at Jeju Dream Tower is larger than the facilities that were in other locations. For the new site, the local government has approved a 5,367-square-meter gaming site, offering 141 tables through five types of table games and 78 electronic table games (ETGs), including 190 slot machines and seven live dealer runs, and so-called ETG master tables.
In the old place, the casino had a 1,176 sq m gaming floor with 27 tables and 51 gaming machines through five types of table games.
According to integrated industry data from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism released in early May, casinos in Lotte Hotel Jeju recorded sales of 1.346 billion won ($1.21 million) in 2020, receiving 1,601 unique customers.
Before the Jeju Dream Tower Casino was launched, only two of the seven foreigner-only casinos in Jeju were currently operating. It is a landing casino at the Jeju Grand operated by Paradise, which is based in Korea, and the landing casino at the Jeju Shinhwa World Resort promoted by Hong Kong-listed Landing International Development.
Grand Korea Leisure Inc., which operates foreigner-only casinos in South Korea, said Monday that its casino sales in June reached 14.82 billion won, up 45.6 percent from the previous month. The sales were up 18.7 percent year-on-year, the company said.
Grand Korea Leisure’s table game sales reached nearly W13.28 billion in June this year, up 60.6 percent from May. Compared to the same period last year, the figure was up 27.0 percent.
For the month, machine game sales fell 19.3% sequentially to 1.54 billion won, and decreased 24.0% year-on-year.
Grand Korea Leisure, listed on the Korea Exchange, is a subsidiary of the Korea Tourism Organization and is affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Korea.
The casino operator operates three foreigner-only casinos in Korea under the Seven Luck brand. There are two in the capital city of Seoul and one in the southern port city of Busan.
In the first half of 2021, Grand Korea Leisure’s casino sales fell 69.7% year-on-year to just under 40.29 billion won.
The total sales of table games during the period were 34.21 billion won, down 71.0% from the same period last year.
In the first six months of this year, machine game sales were KRW 6.08 billion, down 59.3% year-over-year.
NC and Samsung won all three consecutive games held from the 26th to the 28th, continuing their winning streak.
NC won all of the ‘Nakdong River Derby’ against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park, and Samsung won all three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes.
Thanks to the consecutive wins, NC had 4 wins and 2 losses and Samsung had 5 wins and 1 loss in 6 games last week.
KIA slowed down to one win and two losses in three consecutive games against the LG Twins over the weekend, narrowing its gap with second-ranked NC and third-ranked Samsung. KIA is leading the league with 21 wins and nine losses, while NC, which has 19 wins and 11 losses, is in second place by two games. Samsung, which has 18 wins, one draw and 12 losses, is closely trailing NC by one game.
Samsung, which fell to the bottom after losing eight straight games in the early days of the season, rebounded by winning five consecutive games after ending its eight-game losing streak against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju on the 6th of this month.
Recently, Samsung has displayed impressive combination of pitching and hitting. In six games last week, the team ranked second with a 2.89 ERA, third with 38 RBIs, and fourth with a team OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.783 ERA.
Won Tae-in (6 scoreless innings), Connor Seabold (5 scoreless innings), and Denny Reyes (two runs lost in 6 innings), who started the three consecutive games against Kiwoom last weekend, all pitched well and took the lead in the victory.
Samsung’s batting lineup showed off its hot firepower last weekend, scoring a total of 25 points in three games. Koo Ja-wook was 6 for 13 in three games, and Kim Sung-yoon was 5 for 13 in three games, boasting a good batting feeling.
What led NC to its upturn was its solid mound. In six games last week, NC ranked first with a 2.60 ERA.
In the game on the 26th, Kyle Hart showed a powerful pitch with four hits and 10 strikeouts in seven innings, and Kim Si-hoon, who started on the 28th, also pitched well with six hits, four strikeouts and four walks in five ⅔.
In the match against Lotte on the 28th, starter Shin Min-hyuk allowed three runs in three innings and went down the mound early, but five bullpen pitchers pitched a series of scoreless pitches, laying the groundwork for a comeback victory.
Samsung has good luck in its showdown this week. It will face the Doosan Bears from May 30 to May 2, and then meet the Lotte Giants over the weekend. This season, Samsung has won all three games against Doosan and three games against Lotte.
NC will face LG and SSG Landers in turn. NC lost one game and lost two games against LG, but managed to sweep the first three consecutive games against SSG.
KIA is also determined to maintain its lead position.
KIA’s Na Sung-beom, who had been out due to a right hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) injury ahead of the opening of the regular season, returned on the 28th.
KIA, which has a strong support, will meet KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles, who are ahead of each other in their opponents this week.
At Sajik Stadium in Busan, there will be a match between teams that have lost consecutive games. Kiwoom, which has lost seven games in a row, and Lotte, which has lost three games in a row, will face off.
Kiwoom, which had been a sensation with 12 wins and 2 losses in 14 games from the LG Twins match on March 30 to the KT match on the 16th of this month, lost seven games from the Doosan match on the 21st to the Samsung match on the 28th.
Lotte fell to the bottom around the middle of this month, and failed to escape the last place as it gave up all three consecutive games against NC last weekend.
Kiwoom won all of the matches between Lotte and Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome from the 12th to the 14th of this month.
The match between Doosan and LG in Jamsil, which will take place from the 3rd to the 5th of next month, is also a match that draws attention.
The Jamsil Rivalry, which takes place on Children’s Day, has been a tradition since 1996. Since 1996, Doosan and LG have been holding matches on Children’s Day on May 5 with the exception of 1997 and 2002.
Doosan has an advantage with 15 wins and 11 losses against the Children’s Day series.
However, Doosan and LG have been at odds with two wins and two losses in four matches in the past five years.
In 2019, Doosan won a landslide victory, 11-2, and LG won, 8-2, in 2020. In 2021, LG won 7-4, while in 2022, Doosan won 9-4. Last year’s match against Jamsil Rivalry on Children’s Day was canceled due to rain.
“After scoring a goal against Suwon Samsung yesterday, I heard that the ball that I kicked flew to the stands and suffered damage,” Lee said on his social media on Monday. “I deeply apologize for not properly considering the damage caused by the action. I sincerely apologize to the spectators who suffered damage.”
After scoring the first goal in the 10th minute of the second half in the match between Suwon and Gyeongnam FC on the 28th, Lee Joon-jae kicked the ball from the net toward the stands. The news that the ball hit the stadium spread through the Internet community, raising controversy over Lee Joon-jae’s actions.
In particular, Suwon fans were more upset. Suwon fans were affected by a similar incident at home to the Jeonnam Dragons on the 10th. They wanted a quick apology for the incident and a responsible response because the same thing happened twice in April alone.
According to an official from Gyeongnam Province, Lee wanted to make a public apology immediately after he became aware of the fact. The club judged that making an apology without finding the victimized crowd could cause misunderstanding of the authenticity, and made efforts to find the victimized crowd first in cooperation with the Suwon club.
On the day after the game, the team instructed the entire team not to let unfavorable events such as the incident happen again. After noon, the team posted an apology on the team’s official account and Lee Joon-jae’s on the player’s SNS as it had difficulty finding the missing spectators despite Suwon’s cooperation. The team shared an apology on Suwon’s official account, making all-out efforts to find the missing spectators.
“We are cooperating with the Gyeongnam club to find the affected spectators, and we will take additional measures with the Gyeongnam club as soon as we contact the affected spectators. We will also find ways to prevent this from happening again,” a Suwon official said.
[Lee Junjae apologizes]
Hello, I’m Lee Jun-jae from Gyeongnam FC.
After scoring a goal against Suwon Samsung yesterday, I heard that the ball I kicked flew to the stands and suffered damage.
I didn’t realize it during the game, and I found out on the bus coming down after the game.
I deeply apologize for not properly considering the action of kicking the ball into the stands in the process after scoring, and most of all, the damage caused by that action.
If I had known about it at the stadium, I would have visited him in person and apologized immediately, but I belatedly found out. I sincerely apologize to the spectators who suffered damage.
It has made me realize the importance of the fans, including the spectators, who came to the stadium to cheer for me even in the hot weather. I regret that I have not been as serious as a professional player in the stadium.
Taking this opportunity, as a professional player, I will take responsibility and respect my fans. I will take this as a great lesson for my future career, and I will be careful in every action so that I can become a responsible player.
Once again, I sincerely apologize to Suwon fans and everyone who must have felt offended by my actions.
Hwang In-Beom has a chance to join the big leagues in Europe.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers, the club of his best friend Hwang Hee-chan, are one of the teams interested.
Serbian media outlet Meridiansport reported on Nov. 27 (KST) that Hwang In-beom has received interest from two Premier League teams.
The report said, “Hwang In-beom is attracting interest from two Premier League teams. “Scouts from both clubs attended the derby match between Zvezda and Partizan, and he played a great game, leading his team to victory and a place in the final of the cup competition,” the report said.
Hwang In-Beom’s club Tsrvena Zvezda defeated rivals Partizan 2-0 in the Serbian Cup semifinals at the Raiko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia, on Friday to advance to the final. Hwang In-Beom, who started the match, gave his team the lead in the 28th minute of the first half when he set up an own goal.
Hwang picked up the ball on the right flank, folded once, and perfectly evaded a defender who attempted to tackle him.
He then sent a left-footed cross towards Munjeon near the penalty line, where teammate Peter Olanika’s header rattled off a defender’s leg and into the net. Olanika completed the 2-0 victory two minutes later when he scored himself with his left foot in the box.
On the other side of the ball is Ko Young-joon. Hwang In-beom helped his team reach the final of their cup competition by forcing an own goal from the opposing defense in the ‘Korean Derby’ in Eastern Europe.
Zvezda also leads the Serbian regular season with 80 points. The Serbian Cup semifinal win paved the way for Hwang to win two titles in his first year with his new team.
He also showed that he is more than capable of competing in the big leagues.
There were local reports of Premier League scouts at the game, which turned out to be Wolverhampton and Palace scouts.
“Premier League scouts are coming to ‘Maracana’ to watch the Serbian Cup semifinals,” Serbian media outlet ‘Informer’ reported on March 23, “and the reason they are coming is because of Hwang In-beom.”
“Hwang In-beom has been in the spotlight since he moved to Zvezda from Olympiakos in Greece for €5.5 million last summer,” the media outlet said, adding, “He hasn’t defined his performance with assists or goals, but he has been the best in the team on many occasions, and his play is highly appreciated in modern football.”
“He is not afraid to fight, pass between opponents and deliver precise passes to his teammates, which always creates good scoring chances.” “According to our sources, a Premier League club is interested in him.”
“Garry O’Neill could have a top player in Hwang Hee-chan in Wolverhampton,” said the English 스포츠토토 Football Fancast on Feb. 26, adding that the club has sent scouts to watch Hwang play this week.
The reason why Wolverhampton would want to sign Hwang is simple. It’s a resource that would be a great addition to their injury-riddled squad.
“Wolverhampton suffered another defeat in the Premier League in midweek. It”s a huge blow to their chances of reaching higher positions. O’Neill’s debut season has been largely positive, but progress has been slowed by an injury crisis over the past few weeks, with Pedro Neto, Hwang Hee-chan, Mateusz Cunha, Craig Dawson and others who have been at the top of their game all season all suffering injuries.”
“O’Neill is running out of squad options. He’s hoping to bring in a few players this summer, and with the need to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, there could be some player sales.” ‘One of the potential signings is Hwang In-Bum, another South Korean player who knows Hwang Hee-Chan well,’ he added.
“Central midfield is definitely a position that needs to be strengthened ahead of next season,” said Football Fancast. Hwang In-bum joined Zvezda from Olympiakos in Greece last summer. He has only been with the club for a year but his performances in recent months have attracted attention and Wolverhampton are said to be interested in him.”
Talking Wolves also reported that “several Premier League clubs have sent scouts to the Serbian Cup semifinal between Zvezda and Partizan, with Wolverhampton among those interested in 27-year-old midfielder Hwang In-beom.”
If Hwang In-Bum joins Hwang Hee-Chan, who already plays for Wolverhampton, it would be a huge deal for South Korean fans. The only other time two players have played for the same Premier League club was the Ji Dong-won-Ki Sung-yong duo at Sunderland in the 2013-2014 season.
Former Manchester United soccer player Dwight Yorke has some advice for Chelsea’s new ace, Cole Palmer. He told him to stay at Chelsea instead of going to their rivals Arsenal. His reasoning was that Arsenal doesn’t win trophies either.
“According to former Manchester United striker Yorke, Palmer will not win trophies if he moves from Chelsea to Arsenal,” the British media outlet Metro reported on July 27 (KST), “Yorke believes Palmer should not leave Chelsea after just one season and is not guaranteed trophies anywhere else.”
“Palmer should stay at Chelsea and be the best for the club and be the one who builds the reputation and takes the club forward,” Yorke advised, “Sometimes players can move to bigger, more successful clubs, but players can be the ones who take a club (like Chelsea) to the next level.” He went on to say that Palmer should stay at Chelsea because “if he goes to Liverpool, he’s not going to become a bigger player than Mohamed Salah or Virgil Pandey.”
Palmer moved to Chelsea this season and became the Blues’ ace in his first season. The former Manchester City youth product made his debut for the Blues, but when he didn’t get a chance to play, he decided to make the move to Chelsea.
With Chelsea languishing in ninth place in the league and missing out on the chance to lift the English FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, Palmer has been the boy wonder of the season. He’s even been called the best player of the season despite his team’s poor form.
Palmer’s record this season has been stellar, with 20 goals and nine assists in 23 league appearances. Nine of his goals have come from the penalty spot for Chelsea, but his record is still one of the best in the league. He’s tied with Man City striker Elling Holland for the league lead in goals. With one more assist, he could reach the ’20-10′ mark.
Palmer, who made his professional debut in the 2020-2021 season, has only played 41 games for City in four seasons, but he has established himself as a regular in Chelsea’s starting lineup with 39 appearances this season alone.
City had no intention of letting him go. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the English FA Cup semifinal between Chelsea and City on May 21, City manager Pep Guardiola said he didn’t want to let him go, but Palmer had been begging him to let him go for two seasons, so he had no choice. Guardiola said he still loves Palmer despite his move to Chelsea.
There’s a reason Yorke linked Palmer to Arsenal. It’s because Arsenal beat Chelsea in a big way. Chelsea lost 0-5 to Arsenal in the 29th round of the Premier League on April 24th. 사설토토 Palmer, Chelsea’s ace, was sidelined with an injury, and Chelsea felt his absence acutely and suffered from a lack of goals. Palmer had to watch his team lose.
Arsenal moved into first place in the league with the win over Chelsea. Second-place Man City has played one game less and has a one-point advantage over the Gunners, but the Gunners are competitive enough to compete for the title.
Mikel Arteta took over as Arsenal’s manager in October 2019 and has been building a solid foundation for the club since last season, after a lackluster first three seasons. The Gunners finished second last season and are in contention for the title again this season. However, Yorke didn’t see Arsenal’s chances of winning the title as high.
He was concerned that Palmer would want to go to Arsenal after seeing the Gunners’ big win over Chelsea. “This is his first full season and we’ll see how many years he has left,” York said, adding that he is excited for the future.
