For Jing Jian, football is not even a hobby. In my previous life, when I first had TV, I was really fascinated for a while, and then I was disgusted by the amazing Chinese football.

Over time, it has become that I never watch Chinese football, but sometimes watch a few high-level games such as the World Cup, the European Cup, the Champions Cup, and the top European leagues. It's the kind of level that is willing to watch the replay and basically won't stay up late to watch the live broadcast. As for the understanding of football, after graduating from the literacy class, I basically know a few strong teams, have heard a few famous stars, and understand the rules.

Therefore, Jing Jian will not buy any football club at all, but it does not prevent him from blowing in front of Auston. Anyway, flickering around, making that sperm worm doubt life, this kind of thing, Jing Jian is very good at. In a few days, pat my ass and leave Europe, what can I do?

But at this moment, an old white man on the side approached quickly, his face excited: "Excuse me, may I ask if you are Mr. Bramble?"

"Huh?" Jing Jian wondered in his heart, it seemed that the rumors were wrong, didn't it mean that the British were very polite and gentlemanly? Why did they meet uninvited guests one after another today? He smiled a little: "I am." Excuse me?"

"It's an honor to meet you, I'm Jim Gregory. ”

"I am also honored, Mr. Grigory. ”

"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, I just seemed to hear that you are interested in the club?"

“......”

That's what the legend says - pretending to be a pen. Auston sneered, and Lumina and Mai Ting hugged each other with the same schadenfreude expression. Jing Jian's heart was on fire, where did this little old man jump out? If he had a mace in his hand, he would immediately knock him into a concussion.

Stiff-headed, Jing Jian smiled and nodded: "It's true, but you also need a suitable person." ”

"And what do you want from the club?" said Gregory, who was in high spirits, and he took it seriously.

Glancing at Auston, "Of course it's the championship team request." The league winners, the FA Cup, the Champions Cup, must be strong contenders. ”

"Huh?" Grigory was stunned.

And Auston seemed to be unable to listen: "Excuse me, Mr. Bramble, do you know football?"

Jing Jian has never even played football manager, he knows a fart. But at this time, you must not show timidity: "I am the boss, not the head coach. ”

"Then you should always have a team philosophy, right? It's hard for me to imagine a layman like you...... I'm so sorry. ”

"My philosophy, the team gets the title, the club gets the honour, the coach and the players get the money and the fans get the satisfaction. And myself, if I come up with enough money, just to be happy!" Jing Jian replied.

Auston was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it with contempt: "It's hard for me to imagine that you can hear such unreasonable words, and you actually treat the club as a toy? Forgive my bluntness, English football does not welcome the nouveau riche. ”

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Mr. Auston, I also have a piece of advice, poverty limits your imagination. "It's a joke, other Jing Jian may not know, but in the future, those super league teams in England have already become the eight-nation alliance and become the rich field for those foreign riches. And those other clubs, begging grandpa to sue grandma, want to find a foreign rich man to support but can't.

Mai Ting and Lumina on the side finally couldn't help it, and smiled "poof", beautiful and picturesque. In front of Auston, he scolded him as a "poor ghost", and this slap in the face was ruthless enough. and embarrassed in front of the beauty, so that Auston could not keep it, said "unaccompanied", and left in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, Gregory's eyes were already shining with excitement: "Mr. Bramble, I think we can talk." ”

......

In the cigar room, Jing Jian tasted his cigar and had been listening quietly for more than half an hour. He's finally figured out some basic concepts now, the Premier League hasn't existed at all, and the current top flight is English First Division. The Champions League, which is also nowhere to be seen, is now its predecessor, the UEFA Club Champions Cup. In England, each club can only have three foreign players. The Boseman Act has never appeared at all, and the transfer market is still in a "very primitive" state.

The reason why Jing Jianhui knew about the relatively unpopular Boseman Act was not for football, but because of his understanding of European labor law in his previous life, which was just a very famous labor case.

Therefore, the youth training camps of major clubs are still quite important, and many small leagues and small clubs are still prosperous, and they are not just rich to play. But on the other hand, the income of European players now can be described in only one word - miserable!

As for the club introduced by Gregory, Portsmouth, Jing Jian had never heard of it at all. All he knows is Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool...... As for those little clubs, the concubines are lonely and unheard!

This Portsmouth club, like many English clubs, has a long history and a long history. However, after being relegated to the second division in 1959, he has been fighting in the lower leagues for nearly 30 years, and finally opened his eyes and was promoted to the top first division in the 86/87 season. Unexpectedly, this was just a flash in the pan, and in just one season, Portsmouth played back to its original form and was relegated to the second division again.

"Huh, are you recommending the second division?" Jing Jian was surprised by Gregory's audacity. Although I don't have the idea of buying a club, such a team is not even interested in listening?

Grigory quickly smiled and explained: "The Portsmouth team has a lot of background, a large number of loyal fans. And the club is in a hurry to transfer, and the price is not high. There are no obstacles. ”

"The price is not high?" Jing Jian was a little curious, "How much?"

Gregory hesitated: "Nine hundred thousand pounds." However, there are conditions to take on the club's debts and also need to inject capital...... Not less than five million pounds. ”

"How much?" Jing Jian was surprised. In the future era of the "Colosseum", it is embarrassing not to throw out hundreds of millions of euros to rebuild the team, and even the initiator - Abu, has invested a total of three billion euros before and after. Although part of this is the cost of building a new stadium, it is evident that it is a lot of money. As for those princes of the Middle East, not to mention.

After thinking about it again, Jing Jian asked, "Did you just say that there are still debts? If it is convenient, can you give an accurate number?"

Gregory seemed a little embarrassed, and he slurred: "The debt is more than eight hundred and twenty thousand pounds. These debts will mature before the start of the new season. ”

"......" is just 800,000 people, and Jing Jian is already speechless.
