Red Rebels

552 Declaration of war

Manchester United, Fulham, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester City, plus West Ham United, which was acquired by an Icelandic rich man after the World Cup, before you know it, there are already 6 teams in the Premier League controlled by foreign capital, in addition to Private teams like Liverpool, Red Rebels, Droylsden etc.

If the collective listing of Premier League teams was hailed as a benchmark, then many football economists have suggested that centralization has become synonymous with today's football.

Why do you say that?

This started with the case that broke out in the Premier League at the end of 2006, when the head coach accepted kickbacks during the player transfer process. All famous Premier League coaches, including Allardyce, were involved in this incident, which also caused many football players to The team began to reflect on whether the head coach's power was too great.

The Red Rebels are hailed as a representative example of today's football management, but Mourinho does not have the power of life and death in the Red Rebels club. He can choose the players he likes, but he is not qualified to intervene in negotiations. , all player transfer negotiations are handled by professionals from the Ministry of Commerce.

Have the Red Rebels taken too much of Mourinho's power?

Obviously not. The Portuguese has all the power at the Newton Heath training base. He can even refuse any commercial behavior with reasonable reasons, even if the other party is Adidas, the club's largest sponsor.

Mourinho once said that the decentralized structure of the Red Rebels allows him not to worry about things outside the stadium, because he knows that these things will be taken care of by professionals. If he needs to buy a player, he only needs a phone call. It can be done.

"I don't know if there is anything more convenient in the world than this!" Mourinho once said with a smile.

In addition to Mourinho, coaches such as Ferguson, Ancelotti, and Van Gaal do not have much power in the club. This has also made many people begin to wonder whether Xiao Yu, Abramovich, Al Fasim, etc. have great power in other fields. Outstanding people who have all achieved success don't understand the rules of football?

If you say Alfasim, some people will believe it, but if you say that Xiao Yu doesn’t understand the rules of football, it will just make everyone laugh, because he is known as an outstanding football figure who single-handedly created the Red Rebel Empire .

If not, then the only explanation is that they have seen a problem with the traditional English football club structure, which is that the head coach has too much power, or that the club management has decentralized power.

The most obvious one is Arsenal. David Dunn has said many times that the power struggle on the board of directors has become a stumbling block to Arsenal's development. Otherwise, the Emirates Stadium would not need to be built for so long.

In addition, similar to the internal strife of member-based clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the internal strife of listed Premier League football clubs is also very frequent. However, Real Madrid and Barcelona are member-based and relatively open. However, these listed clubs hold meetings behind closed doors and commit evil behind the scenes. , coupled with the fact that it is not as well-known as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so it is not well known.

The reason why so many rich people are rushing to the Premier League is not only because they value the appreciation potential of the Premier League, but also because of the business atmosphere.

It can be said that with the improvement of the Football Association and the Premier League in recent years, foreign capital acquisition of the Premier League is no longer a scourge. In terms of how to attract foreign capital, with the incident of the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United, the Premier League has once again made considerable efforts. With so many regulations and regulations, the Glazer family is currently even facing the problem of separating debts from Manchester United.

In the past, the purpose of going public was to raise funds, but these Premier League clubs have discovered that although funds have been raised, they also bring in more big men to help make ideas.

Many of them didn't even understand the most basic football rules and would only get in the way, so they began to think about finding some wealthy sponsors who also loved watching football games.

Each of these investors has their own purposes. For example, Abramovich bought Chelsea because he wanted to buy a talisman, Randy Lerner valued the appreciation potential of the Premier League, Al Fasim wanted to increase his popularity and influence, etc. foot.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they don’t hesitate to spend a lot of money!

With the development of professional football to this day, this is enough.

So when the Dubai DIC consortium proposed to acquire Tottenham, the 71-year-old Lewis was tempted. He had long wanted to take a back seat, so he started negotiating with the other party. Although he was unable to reach an agreement during the summer transfer period, progress was made. good.

But now, with Tottenham's performance declining, Lewis is extremely angry. He even feels that Joel is weakening his bargaining chip, so the unlucky Dutchman is dismissed.

The Dubai DIC consortium originally wanted to acquire Liverpool, but after Liverpool's local tycoon Morgan took over, Liverpool won the first Premier League championship in the club's history, and it was no longer possible to acquire the Red Army.

The Red Rebels, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams are also difficult to acquire. Arsenal's asking price is too high. The Dubai DIC consortium finally chose Tottenham, a London team. After all, London is a famous financial center in the world. The teams here have a unique natural advantage.

Lewis's initial asking price was 400 million pounds. After all, there is still a White Hart Lane stadium. However, although the people of Dubai have a lot of money, it does not mean that they are fools. They rejected Lewis, but the two parties negotiated closely.

Tottenham's performance has been poor recently. The people in Dubai were only willing to pay up to 250 million pounds, but Lewis asked for 300 million pounds. Finally, after Joel left class, the two sides held the last negotiation and finally settled on 280 million pounds. The Dubai DIC consortium entered Tottenham Hotspur, and this news was immediately disclosed by the media.

.

"We are well aware of the difficulties Tottenham are currently facing. We also know that the competition in the Premier League has been very fierce in recent years. This is a good thing. This proves that the influence of the Premier League is growing. We are happy to see this situation and are very willing to Accept this challenge.”

"We will not immediately make waves in the transfer market like other consortiums that have just taken over the Premier League team. What we want is long-term operation, so the top priority is to find a suitable and capable head coach for Tottenham as soon as possible. , and then we will operate Tottenham based on the principles of healthy management!"

Watching what the spokesperson of the Dubai DIC Consortium said in an interview with the media on TV, Xiao Yu felt an unprecedented excitement in his heart.

"This Premier League is becoming more and more interesting!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, but Mark David was a little disappointed.

"Their management has no special features. They are expanding the White Hart Lane stadium, buying powerful stars, looking for an outstanding head coach, etc. There is nothing new!"

Xiao Yu burst out laughing. In fact, it is difficult to create new ideas in the football field. After all, everything remains the same. Almost all of these roads have been taken by the Red Rebels, and every team that acquires a Premier League club will take advantage of it. Come out and bask in the sun.

Regarding this point, as the founder of the Red Rebel business empire, Mark David is naturally qualified to comment on these juniors.

"With 280 million pounds, the people of Dubai have taken a big advantage. If Tottenham hadn't had such a bad performance this season, they wouldn't have had such a small amount of money. But now it depends on what the people of Dubai will do. If they do If it is inappropriate and Tottenham is relegated, then the deal will definitely be a loss." Gardner commented from the perspective of an operator.

"People in Dubai will lose, but Tottenham will not lose!" Walsh said confidently.

After the Premier League launched a series of policies to protect clubs, Premier League teams will not suffer losses in acquisitions, but there may be some impact on competitive performance.

"I heard that the managers they contacted include Eriksen, Redknapp, Hiddink, Vicente del Bosque and others. I just don't know who will take over Tottenham!"

"It's not just Tottenham!" Gardner followed David's words, "We have received reliable information that Arsenal is also in contact with consortiums from the United States and Russia. Among them, the Russian side is an old friend of Abramovich and is worth more than 100 years. The billion-pound Usmanov, and the American tycoon Stan Kroenke, if the contact is effective, Arsenal is likely to bottom out!"

In the past two seasons, with the emergence of powerful players in the Premier League, Arsenal's situation in the Premier League has become increasingly difficult. This season, they can't even get tickets for the Champions League and are forced to play in the UEFA Cup. This is Arsenal's board of directors had to learn from the experience.

David Dunn firmly advocates the introduction of foreign investment. To this end, it is said that he has reached an agreement with Usmanov. Once the Russian oligarch successfully takes over Arsenal, David Dunn will become the "Chairman" of Arsenal. However, many members of the board of directors are in a dilemma and don't know how to make a decision.

It can be said that when teams such as Manchester City and Chelsea were rising rapidly, they coveted their opponents' inexhaustible pounds and were eager to use more transfer fees to buy superstars and enhance the team's strength. But on the other hand, On the other hand, they are worried that the introduction of foreign investment will cause Arsenal to fall.

Is it tradition or does it require reform?

This is a big problem facing Arsenal's board of directors!

But surprisingly, this is also a big problem for UEFA!

At the same time that the new round of European Cup qualifiers started, French Football Federation "President" Escalette officially submitted a nomination to UEFA, nominating legendary superstar Platini as the next UEFA "President" candidate.

Who is Platini?

One of the most famous stars in the history of French football, he has held important positions in the French Football Federation for many years. Currently, he sees that UEFA "President" Johansson has no successor, so he stepped forward and hoped to participate in the UEFA "Presidency" campaign.

At this point, Beckenbauer from Bayern is somewhat modest. He said that he will not compete with Johansson before Johansson leaves because he and Johansson have a deep friendship. However, this also caused Platini to He has an advantage in the competition for the next UEFA "President".

And this time, Platini’s slogan is, reform!

"I still remember that when I was a player, I once went to Malta to play. The local fans were like celebrating a festival. From their faces, I saw the purest joy of football! What I want to say Yes, the UEFA Champions League should become such a platform that provides fans with happiness!"

"Since Malta can meet the England national team in the European Cup qualifiers, why can't Maltese clubs meet the Red Rebels? Maltese fans can't see Beckham and Kaká at their home stadium Woolen cloth?"

"I regret the Champions League in recent years. One country even has 4 teams participating in the Champions Cup. This season, the number of teams participating in the Champions League in the Premier League has reached 5. It is too much. I think it is necessary now What must be done is to reduce the number of teams participating in the Champions League in top leagues and increase the number of teams in lower leagues.”

At the press conference announcing his candidacy, Platini faced reporters and passionately analyzed his governing philosophy.

"I heard that another team in the Premier League has recently been acquired by a large consortium. They are becoming more and more commercialized rather than football itself. I think this is a step backwards for football. If I take office as UEFA's 'President' If so, I will prohibit this kind of thing from happening. I hope that all teams can compete in a fair environment, instead of relying on financial resources to acquire and hoard stars to enhance the team's competitiveness in a short period of time. It’s unfair to other teams!”

Not only the reporters at the press conference were in an uproar, but even Xiao Yu was surprised when he saw this news broadcast on the sports news. He really didn't expect that Platini would be so interested in the Premier League model. Hated.

"Many people say that the Red Rebels are the most successful club in today's football, but I want to say that they represent the regression of football. They play a kind of nouveau riche football. Don't believe it? Let's take a look at them this season. Of the 26 first-team players who signed up, only 6 are local players from England, and the remaining 20 players come from 13 countries."

"I must admire Mourinho, because he can actually take charge of such an international column to fight. How many languages ​​does he need to know so that everyone can understand his tactical intentions? In addition, look at the Red Rebel Youth Team In the training camp, those players who are proud of themselves, I am very surprised, how did the 14-year-old genius Neymar, known as the new Pele, come to Manchester? Doesn’t the Brazilian Football Association stipulate that players under the age of 18 are prohibited from transferring? Study abroad?"

"In addition, geniuses like Fabregas, Aguero, John Obi Mikel and other talents, how did they switch to the Red Rebels at a young age? Is this the so-called success of the Red Rebels' youth training camp? ? If so, then they can only be regarded as traffickers in football. Letting such a team win the Champions League is a regression for football. Winning the Champions League consecutively is a tragedy for football. If they are allowed to win three times in a row, or more If a team like the Red Rebels wins the Champions League or the league title, it would be a disaster for football!"

"If I take office, I hope to completely change this situation and make all clubs equal. Whether they have money or not, whether they are big clubs or small clubs, they can compete on the same starting line. At the same time, I We also hope that more teams from Eastern European leagues can participate in the Champions League.”

There is no doubt that as soon as Platini appeared, he clearly expressed his philosophy of governing, declared war on all forces he wanted to challenge, and issued a letter of war to all his future opponents!
