Chapter 206 Obstruction to the acquisition of Manchester United

???? Sure enough, not Zu Ke's expectations.

???? The next day, media and newspapers all over the UK published articles about Zucker's threat to buy the Manchester United club, all of which were front-page headlines.

???? Especially in the morning that day, Zucker personally met with the chairman of the Manchester United club, which made countless media burst into excitement.

???? "Toutiao! If this is not a headline, then what else is a headline!" Mitchell, an external reporter from The Sun, jumped up and down excitedly after taking the photo.

???? At this juncture, whoever snaps the photo first will win the sales!

???? Reporter Mitchell was of course very excited. After he took the photo, he immediately called a person in charge of The Sun.

???? "Eddie, I'm Mitchell!"

???? "News, of course, big news! American entertainment tycoon Zucker has an appointment with the chairman of Manchester United. Is this big news? Yes, right in front of my eyes."

???? "Photos? Of course I have!"

???? "But how much can you give me? Dude, although I'm just an outside reporter, I have a bottom line. £1,000 can't buy me and tarnish my work ethic!"

???? "No no no, I think £3,000 fits my price."

???? "If you don't like it, I'll get in touch with Old Holdford in Mirror now, or Piero in Edinburgh... Hahaha, you're smart, Eddie. But big news!"

????

???? After half an hour.

???? Zucker ended the conversation with the chairman of the Manchester United club. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he boarded the car and quickly left the place.

???? "Alexander, you will meet with Mr. Thurman of the FA in my name later to test the attitude of the FA." Zucker said in the car.

???? "Okay, boss." Alexander responded.

???? If you want to acquire a Premier League team, or even a Championship or League One team, the FA is absolutely inescapable.

???? For example, when buying an NBA team, the official NBA league has the right to suspend the trading operation at any time.

???? Therefore, if Zucker wants to acquire Manchester United, he must first find out the attitude of the FA. Otherwise, even if Zucker and Manchester United shareholders reach a deal, once the FA objects, the deal will be declared invalid.

???? In 2003, the Russian tycoon Abramovich bought Chelsea, the reason why it was delayed for 3 years, there are opposition factors from the fan community, but the procrastination of the FA is also the key point.

???? "I don't want the deal to fail because of the FA's problems!"

???? After returning to the hotel, Zhu Ke's acquisition team fully introduced the acquisition plan and details to Zu Ke.

???? Money is definitely the most important thing!

???? "Bo...  

oss, in the 9798 season, Arsenal won the Premier League championship, but even so, Manchester United's market value is the highest among the Premier League clubs. "The lawyer Zhang Wei said.

???? Zhu Ke waved his hand: "How much money do you need?"

???? "£4.6 billion!"

???? Hearing that, Rao is that Zhu Ke had already predicted it, and he couldn't help but be speechless at this moment.

???? "It's quite a lot!"

???? You must know that except for Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other Premier League giants, the market value of ordinary Premier League teams in 1998 was around 100 million pounds.

???? In 2003, Abramovich bought Chelsea at a cost of 230 million pounds, of which 80 million pounds were used to repay the team's debt, that is to say, the real cost of buying Chelsea, which was 150 million pounds.

???? Teams at the bottom of the Premier League like Coventry and Southampton have less market value,

If you die, it's 70 million pounds.

???? Manchester United's price tag is much higher than the average Premier League team.

???? "Boss, our cash reserves are not that much, but we can use the means of financing and leveraged buyout to complete the acquisition of Manchester United Club." Zhang Wei suggested.

???? Zucker nodded, expressing his understanding.

???? In fact, in 2007, the Glazer family in the United States used 100 million US dollars of funds to leverage the financial market and reached the acquisition of Manchester United through financing and leveraged buyouts.

???? Of course, there are pros and cons to this financial approach!

The advantage is that it consumes less capital in the early stage;

???? The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, huge debts have to be repaid every year;

???? In 2007, after the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, Manchester United's annual transfer fee decreased year by year, resulting in the attraction of big-name stars, far behind the two giants of La Liga. Moreover, this also directly affected Ronaldo's departure later.

???? To put it bluntly, it's all about money!

???? Is Zucker rich?

???? Of course very rich!

???? But it is impossible for Zucker to use all the liquidity and personal deposits of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group to buy Manchester United Club, which will have a great and vicious impact on the operation of the group in the next few years.

????--LBO!

???? Zucker also does not rule out using this method!

???? After all, this is only a financial means, and does not violate the law and morals.

????

???? In the following days, Zucker met with the executives of the FA several times, and talked with them about the development plan of the Manchester United club after the acquisition of Manchester United.

???? However, the result is less than ideal!

???? The top of the FA, at least 60% of the people, hold clear objections.

???? FA...  

Secretary-General Dottie Angel: "I don't deny that Zucker Wald is very good. He has achieved such an amazing net worth in just over two years. No one can say that he can't, but football is football after all. At this point I can't believe him."

???? Tomy Lewanski, vice-president of the FA's executive committee, also objected.

???? "Zuke Wald is too young, and his past resume cannot prove that he will definitely be a qualified club president."

???? Well, most of the higher-ups are against it.

???? Even the representatives of the British royal family in the FA are strongly opposed!

???? "Manchester United is the most valuable team in the Premier League and the most famous football club in the whole world. It is a symbol and pride of our English football. I can't believe that when it is handed over to a young man, it will be What a bad situation!"

???? "Of course, it may be more brilliant, but there is a high probability that it will go to a trough and even die!"

???? "Friends, we can't afford this gamble!"

???? In this way, the FA's first voting meeting on Zucker's acquisition of Manchester United ended with 72% of the disapproval votes.

???? In private, some high-level officials of the FA even scoffed at Zucker, calling Zucker a "hairy boy".

???? "Damn!"

???? Zucker is a little indignant!

???? I was humiliated!

???? The FA is notoriously inefficient when looking at Europe, and a vote often lasts a long time, even up to two years, but when it was Zucker's turn, the vote ended in just a few days. !

???? Clean and neat at a rare occasion.

???? what is this for? !

???? "Too deceiving!" Zu Ke was really angry.

???? "" the fourth more sent.
