I've been reluctant in applying for a loan i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got a loan from Progresive Loan INC. & we both confirmed it and i also went ahead to apply, today am a proud owner of my company and making money for my family and a happy mom. Well i'm Annie Joe by name from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. As a single mom with three kids it was hard to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was referred by my co-worker to a godsent lender advertising to give a loan at 2% interest rate. I sent them a mail using their official email address (progresiveloan@yahoo.com) and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved, and I was directed to the Bank site where I withdrawed my loan directly to my account. To cut the story short am proud of my hair stylist company and promise to testify to the world how my life was transformed.. If you are in need of any kind of loan, i advise you contact Progresive Loan INC and be financially lifted Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-59674848672715000872017-06-14T13:02:07.869+08:002017-06-14T13:02:07.869+08:00I like your post comment,

I am a person who is no afraid of authority and will never hold my tongue when the truth needs to reveal. I do know you too Mark. Your principle in life is straight forward - honesty, integrity and justice. I have always admired that. There are too many shallow people on earth. Kitchee is angry, can't you see. They always think they are above other clubs....but little do they realize it is only their own perception. So, when Eastern made it to the top, they were sour grapes. To me, Kitchee absolutely has no sportsmanship and what so ever. NOTE: I wish Kitchee can understand what it means by being a Champ - Able to loose and to win back "IN GLORY". NOTE: The word "In Glory" is in parenthesis. To me, that's the true merit for sports !

It is quite unnecessary.<br />I'm really looking forward to the 'independent' tribunal. I will have lots to say in this forum that I have not wanted to say in public. I am 100% sure that I will be vindicated.

I have always supported all of the teams in Hong Kong and will always do so. <br />As you say, it is in my interest for all of the teams to be successful. <br />My only concern at the original Board meeting was that any decision needed to be justifiable, to take into account the AFC criteria and to be related to sporting merit. Eastern were the Champions and I could see no reason why they shouldn't play. The decision to nominate Kitchee above them made no sense to me then and it still doesn't.<br />Having said that, I still respected the Board's decision and was of course prepared to implement it. CEO's often don't agree with their Boards and vice versa but once the decision is taken, that is it. <br />I only tried to pursued them to change their mind once the AFC made it clear that if Eastern got a club licence and didn't participate, Hong Kong would lose the chance to take part in the group stages. My conscience is clear.<br />Regards<br />Mark<br />Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762658518758223523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-32509836839511234362016-11-28T23:14:01.881+08:002016-11-28T23:14:01.881+08:00correction to the above comment: Kitchee and not &...correction to the above comment: Kitchee and not "Kitchen"chou chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929556671727782544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-85164103622778548082016-11-28T23:08:16.685+08:002016-11-28T23:08:16.685+08:00Mark,

And if there is a problem of any kind, you had suggested, “to sort things out collectively and in private”. For those who do not understand this---how the real world operates, it is time to learn. <br />Instead, Kitchen (Ken Ng) resorted to public forums (i.e. press conference and website) to make his ad hominem remarks and started his blame game; while he deliberately refused to engage in a dialogue (as you indicated, on November 19 phone calls not returned by Ng etc.)<br />I find his behavior unprofessional, and beyond the pale. It is alarming that his unacceptable conduct is taken seriously anywhere. I question the people who would even listen and believe his rhetoric –-I question their integrity and honor.<br />chou chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929556671727782544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-79273750330263770432016-11-28T19:02:14.456+08:002016-11-28T19:02:14.456+08:00Hi Mark,

The above is a detailed piece about the whole situation. I personally think that you have done the best you can. And knowing you, a man with integrity, you would NEVER choose favoritism over which Club to participate in the AFC CL. After all, wouldn't you be happier if ALL can participate. - Only a fool, shallow scumbag will think in terms of favoritism.

I do not attach an...Thanks for your comment Albert.<br />I do not attach any blame whatsoever to the AFC. Their criteria are very clear and their communication is excellent. There is no problem in communication between me and the Secretariat either. I have very effective colleagues who I delegate day to day matters to and I don't see every piece of paper that comes into or goes out from the office. In this case I genuinely didn't know about the deadline. I will accept that there is an argument that I should have known but as I said I had assumed that the Committee would tell us how many places we would have based on our ranking and that we would then be able to nominate teams between that decision and the draw. I think that is a fair assumption but as I said in my blog there are lessons that can be learnt on both sides. <br />It is difficult to change perceptions and although more enlightened observers like you can see the progress that is being made, others either can't or choose not to. I will always defend the difference that I have made and I take your point about improving communication with the locals. The perception that people have about me is not really a priority for me. However, maybe next time I will write a blog about why football is now different here than it used to be.<br />I don't really care what people think about my pay. To come here I gave up another well paid job, my own business as well as making huge personal sacrifices. My friends and more importantly my family are back in the UK. Nobody knows how much I miss them and that I wish I was closer to them everyday. By the way I have personally bought in over HK$600m additional funding to Hong Kong football. What I get paid is very small compared to this. I think the HKFA and HK football has had a pretty good return on the investment they have made in me.<br />Regards<br />Mark Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-46192280543789351272016-11-24T21:01:02.462+08:002016-11-24T21:01:02.462+08:00Hi Mark,

As a football fan in HK, the fact that we may lose our direct spot in the ACL group stage despite having qualified for it is heartbreaking. I hope the Competitions Committee will approve Eastern's application. <br /><br />Given the level of detail you have provided here, I have no doubt about the accuracy of the facts and the sequence of events that you have mentioned. However, one thing that is still a little bothering to me is that you said you only got to know the 14 November deadline in the evening of 13 November. How could this happen? Is there a communication breakdown between AFC and HKFA or between you and the Secretariat? I understand that the domestic seasons of some other participating countries have not yet completed, how could AFC require MAs to submit the applications of participating teams in such an early date?<br /><br />I agree that it is a real achievement in gaining a place in the ACL and so much progress has been made in HK football since you joined the HKFA. However, I don't think the stories you have provided in this blog have got enough coverage in the local media. From what I have read on the internet, local people generally have a perception that you are overpaid and have done little for HK football. I think you may need to find a more effective way to communicate with the locals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513475389055036395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-20497490356945322932016-11-24T12:46:09.523+08:002016-11-24T12:46:09.523+08:00Dear Allan,

I asked for the information to be put in writing and if I had received something official of course it would have been shared. <br />As I say in the blog, I thought I had time to sort this issue out in early December. It only became urgent when I knew we had to submit an application before the committee meeting scheduled for today.<br />There are also other issues at play that I don't want to go into right now.<br />Regards,<br />Mark<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311816601866550472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-42859115859653422782016-11-24T10:44:55.328+08:002016-11-24T10:44:55.328+08:00I can’t act on second hand information that wasn’t...I can’t act on second hand information that wasn’t even sent to me from a person I don’t know.

It is up to them what they want to do but they want to know everything.<br /><br />Regards.<br /><br />AllanAllanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646154376003357875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578658460757089715.post-61109650394566784132016-11-24T10:06:33.607+08:002016-11-24T10:06:33.607+08:00Well said and well done, Mark.
