Green Life

In the beginning of 2007, there was no big movement in Liverpool. Liverpool’s summer supplements have become bloated, and it is impossible to make big moves in winter. It is reasonable to say that Liverpool played well this season. The league and the Champions League go hand in hand, but they still lack dominance. Many things are in Bennett Si seems to have achieved the ultimate, but the difference in player ability may mean one point or three points. The league is not more like cup games, and there is not so much luck. It is more about long-term stability.

The stubborn problem is still on the two wings and forwards. Riise's ability is more suitable for running in behind rather than breaking through. Pennant on the right is too deadly, and he will make a pass from the bottom. You are not Beckham... …, Bellamy and Dirk Dirk sometimes played as right wingers, but the effect was mediocre, Kraqi and Cisse were still the same, and the only reliable one was Gerrard.

Benitez had a headache. He couldn't admit that he failed to see people, or was the tactic not suitable for the players? That was something that couldn't possibly exist in his head.

He also wants Ruben, Henry, and Ronaldo. Unfortunately, his vision is indeed a level behind. The players introduced are mixed. There are Alonso who has become the core, and there are more players who cannot be played. bench man.

The comprehensive quality requirements of a famous coach are extremely high. If the vision is not good, it will not bring long-term stability and progress, or even a breakthrough. But not everyone has the fate of Mourinho and Guardiola. They spend a lot of money in any club, only buy famous ones, not half-finished products. You must know that Manchester United Ferguson, which is the most profitable every year. Most of the time, I also buy semi-finished products for training.

Benitez has more and more desire to spend money, semi-finished products must be cautious, otherwise everything he has worked hard for will be ruined, and it will also cause conflicts in the locker room, so in December last year, Dubai International contacted him privately. It hit it off, what Benitez needs is a boss with good money, not these small shrimps who are slowly operating. The revival of a club is fundamentally the revival of the economy. With money, sooner or later it will achieve results and win fans. , Become a giant, such as Chelsea.

Dubai International and Liverpool’s board of directors have been in touch since December last year. It was a meeting between the golden wind and the jade dew, and the money was exchanged secretly. Dubai International Capital proposed to acquire Liverpool Club with 155 million pounds, and used 80 million pounds to repay the club’s debts. In addition, they promised to spend 200 million pounds to build a stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people in the 2009 season. At the same time, they also promised to give Liverpool more transfer funds. This offer obviously moved David Moores, the largest shareholder. , and with the support of Benitez, the negotiations went smoothly, and the final conclusion will be made only after the approval of the board of directors.

But the paper can't contain the fire. The news that Liverpool will be sold caused an uproar. For a while, the media flocked to Melwood, and there were even local diehard Liverpool fans who gathered in front of the club to protest. Fans are simple, they feel that capital is here to make money, they won't really love the Liverpool club, and they will ruin Liverpool.

"Refused to sell the club!\

,""Middle Eastern pigs go back!\

,""Liverpool is Liverpool for Liverpool people!\

,"The entrance of Melwood was extremely crowded today, and it was difficult to move an inch. The fans blocked the entrance with banners, and even the normal training was affected. The players are also a little overwhelmed, is the club going to be sold?

Behind the glass window of the conference room, David Moores, general manager Parry, Benitez, commercial director Al and board members sat at the conference table, all frowning and looking out the window. David Moores took a puff of cigarette a little irritably, and said angrily, "Who leaked the news?"

Al lowered his glasses and said: "It doesn't matter who leaked it. This kind of thing can't be hidden from the media in the end. The most urgent thing is how to reduce the impact as soon as possible to prevent the fans' aggressive behavior from affecting the transaction."

Parry also said: "It is best to contact the person in charge of the fanatic group,

Explain the whole process of the transaction to the fans, the fans in England have always been xenophobic, and if we want to proceed smoothly, we need to work hard to eliminate the uncooperative attitude of the fans.”

David Moores frowned and thought about it, and said to other members of the board of directors: "What do you think? Do you have any objections to Dubai International's plan?"

One of the minority shareholder representatives sat forward for a while and said: "Dubai International's offer is indeed very sincere, but now Liverpool has gradually recovered under the leadership of Benitez and has attracted the attention of top sponsors again. We I just re-negotiated the cooperation with Adidas, and I think Liverpool should get a better premium for its development.”

The remaining shareholder representatives also nodded in approval. To put it bluntly, they want to cash out more because Liverpool is worth a lot. Dubai’s main funds are mainly used to repay loans and build a new stadium. Only 230 million, including current value and debt.

David Moores squinted his eyes. Everything today seems to be someone behind the scenes to create obstacles for the transaction. David Moores has been in charge of Liverpool for many years and has a deep affection for Liverpool. Although he is currently lacking in ability and energy, But he wants to hand over Liverpool to a reassuring capital party. He also wants Liverpool to achieve a revival like Chelsea, but he does not have an absolute advantage in the board of directors. The minds of these small shareholders...

Thinking about it, he turned to Benitez and asked, "Rafa, what's the situation with the players?"

Benitez raised his head and replied: "Parry and I have discussed this matter with the team captains yesterday, and explained the situation to them in general, and they will appease the other players." The table continued: "However, the team's situation in the league and the Champions League this year are very good. The second half is especially critical for us. It is best to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so as not to affect the team's performance."

Benitez is also a little helpless. He has led the team to win several championships in the past two years, especially the Champions League, which has increased the potential value of Liverpool. Now these small shareholders obviously have a greater appetite. I don’t know if he moved it by himself. Stones on their own feet.

At this time, a small shareholder representative ran out and said: "Now that the matter has been exposed, I suggest we wait and see. There may be other potential buyers with alternative plans. I believe Dubai International will not be so tough. Only by lowering the price can we take the initiative back..."

David Moores glanced up, drooped his eyebrows again, tapped his index finger on the desk, and said softly: "Now, let's settle the matter in front of us first, Parry, you should contact the familiar media and fan organizations as soon as possible to appease you. Fans, let the media guide you; Al, step up communication with Dubai International; Rafa, the team’s affairs are entrusted to you, and the impact should be minimized as soon as possible.”

David Moores is sensitively aware that there must be something tricky, he has to wait and see, wait for these ghosts to jump out on their own initiative, and then make a decision.

As soon as Parry stepped out of the gate, he was submerged in a sea of ​​microphones.

"Parry, I'm from Sky Sports, may I ask if the club is conducting acquisitions?"

"Paripari, this is the Les Echos. Who is the potential buyer?"

"I'm from The Sun. I heard that the buyer is a rich man from the Middle East. Can you confirm the news?"

...

It took a lot of effort for Mark Qin to squeeze out from the door. Looking at the media like bloody mosquitoes and excited fans, he thought that those two Yankees probably made a move. He knew Dubai International from his memory. I started contacting Liverpool at the end of last year. I have been very strict before, and the media did not reveal any news. The sudden exposure at this time is not good for Dubai Capital and Liverpool. Confused, it's so fishy in troubled waters, it seems that I have to go to see how the harvest is.

Let us go back to three months ago, in a down-and-out private detective firm, John was living in his small desk, his body was dirty, and the room was full of the smell of bad coffee. When the door was about to close, he suddenly received a call. On the other side of the phone, a defective voice changer was used to convert it into an electronic voice. John was not surprised. There are all kinds of customers, except that the other party's words are a bit direct.

"Listen, John, now you've got a big deal coming, if you're willing to do it," said an electronic voice on the other side of the phone.

"Let's talk, there is nothing John dares to do, as long as he can afford it," John said in a smoky voice.

"You go to the United States to investigate two people, and I will send the specific requirements to your email. If you do it, you will get 10,000 pounds, and the travel expenses can be reimbursed."

Big business, John suddenly became excited, and said flatteringly: "No problem, valued customer, you are absolutely satisfied, you see..."

The voice on the phone interrupted him and continued: "I will send 2,000 pounds to your account first, and the rest will be paid in batches according to the authenticity and detail of the information you provide. You send it to the mailbox of xxx, and I will You will be paid according to the proportion of the information you provide each time, and you can do it or not!"

"Beep beep..."

John stared at the phone in a daze, wasn't it a prank? , suddenly the phone rang, he opened it and saw that 2,000 pounds had arrived, he hurriedly turned on the computer, logged into his public mailbox, and immediately saw a new email...

In London, there were three detective agencies that received such calls at the same time. Mark Qin was going to use his wages in the past few years and all his savings from gambling in the last European Cup to do this, because no one could tell, Mark Qin could only rely on This way of casting a wide net to solve the problem, although it will definitely cost a lot of money, as long as it succeeds, I will be able to earn it back in Liverpool sooner or later.

When Ma Keqin got home, he quickly went into his room and turned on his computer. He looked at a few new emails in his mailbox, opened them, and revealed a trace of ridicule while reading, "Hey, I'm almost bankrupt. Glove white wolf, you are so clever~", together with the previous emails, I went to Peter's study below to print out a few copies of the materials and bound them.

After weighing the information in his hand, Ma Keqin smiled and said, "I spent more than 20,000 pounds, I hope you can play a role!"

At the same time, not long after David Moores returned home at night, the nanny came to him and said, "Sir, there is an American who calls himself George Gillett and wants to visit you. He asked me to convey that he is your old friend." , can solve your immediate problems"...

In a luxury hotel far away in London, Tom Hicks raised his glass and proposed: "Everyone, I believe that our cooperation can be a win-win situation. We are an investment group with excellent experience and strength, and we will definitely be able to meet your demands to the greatest extent"... …

"Liverpool acquisition ushered in variables! The owner of the US ice hockey team spent 500 million! "-- The Sun

Liverpool's largest shareholder and Gillett reach private agreement - Sky Sports

...

If you don’t come, you will be free. If you come, it’s a combination of punches. Gillette and Hicks have mastered this set of acquisitions. Their offer is 70 million pounds more than that of Dubai International. These shareholders can’t help but be unmoved. This is the heart of the people. of greed.

"Sorry, I think the board needs time to consider the offer from American capital, and we have to postpone the negotiation," Al said on the phone.

"Shit", the person in charge of Dubai International dropped the phone all of a sudden.

Just when the two Yankees were triumphant and thought they were sure of winning, they didn't know that a small report from a small child might make them fall short...
