episode summary
Surprise new Chinese signing Zhao Qiang joins the squad after Dream inc decide to increase their sponsorship in Harchester and in doing so, pay for Zhao's transfer fee and wages. Although unknown to manager, Stuart, part of Zhao's contract stipulates that he must play at least 45 minutes of every game in order to ensure that Chinese fans will watch the matches. Zhao is immediately nicknamed Bruce by Ryan which seems to stick. With the arrival of Bruce also comes with a new Harchester strip for the club. Stuart is furious with Pilar that she went ahead and made such a deal behind his back, and to make matters worse, Bruce has big problems adapting to the English game, but the sponsors are adamant that he is to play. The wannabe owners, Matt Webster, Clyde and the Boyles have a meeting with Pilar and they threaten to pull together to freeze the clubs assets. The players go on strike, and the sponsors tell Pilar that she must sort the mess out. She manages to win over Clyde and the Boyles by offering to 'favour' each candidate to the ownership of the club, and she lets the Boyles move into the Barons. Before Harchester's next game, Marcel comes up with a plan to buy Harchester some time. During the match Bruce fakes a wrist injury to his hand, giving him time so that he can adapt to the English game before being forced to play again.
