Ferguson, who was outside the door, was hit head-on by David Gill's words, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old;

The Manchester United players inside the door listened to the voices outside the door without saying a word, and their expressions were full of shock.

They couldn't believe that Alex Ferguson, who had coached Manchester United for so many years, had suddenly been completely abandoned by English football.

Manchester United's Paul Scholes has been with Manchester United since he joined the United Academy in '91 and has a deep relationship with manager Alex Ferguson, who wept silently in the corner when he heard David Gill relay the FA's penalty decision.

Many of the players were also in tears, for whom Ferguson was their mentor, but from this moment on, their mentor would be forced to drop the whip and he would never be able to coach any team again, at least in England.

Before the start of the first ball game of the season, hearing such news was devastating to their morale.

It took Ferguson a long time to come back to his senses, he looked at David Gill in despair and asked, "Is there any chance of redemption?"

"There shouldn't be any. ”

Although David Gill couldn't bear it, he still spoke: "The FA will announce this penalty decision at eight o'clock tonight, and they have not only punished you, but also the club. ”

Ferguson blurted out: "What punishment was given to the club?"

David Gill said: "We have been fined £1 million and we are not allowed to buy or loan any players for the next 25 months, which means we can't buy any players from now until the summer transfer window closes, we can only wait for the transfer window to open in the winter of the following year, and we have to rely on the existing players and our second and youth team members for two years. ”

Irregularities in the transfer process of players occur from time to time in the Premier League, and the FA often issues fines, but most of them are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds, even if the ban on buying players is only in the current transfer season, the reason is that once a club's player introduction channel is closed for a long time, it will have a huge impact on the overall strength of the club.

Sometimes, the FA will restrict teams from buying academy players for a longer period of time, but even then, some probation will be imposed, for example, a club is prohibited from buying academy players in the next 24 months, and then it will be implemented in two phases, the first period will be implemented for 12 months, and the remaining 12 months will be postponed for three years, which is equivalent to three years of probation, as long as there are no more problems in between, it can basically be spent safely.

However, now the ban on Manchester United's ability to buy players in one go, and it is directly 25 months, and the deliberate additional month is enough to see the FA's anger against Manchester United.

There are still a few days left before the transfer window closes, and if the penalty is 24 months, Manchester United will be able to find good players and finalize contracts in advance in the summer of the following year, and after the ban is lifted in the last few days, they can buy all the players they have selected in advance while there are still a few days left in the transfer window.

So the FA also took into account the problem of this small tail, so it simply added another month on the basis of 24 months, so that from now on, until the winter of the next year, Manchester United will not want to buy a single player.

Ferguson felt a panache in his chest, which was too big a blow to the club, and for the next two years or so, the players could only get in and out, and it was likely to drag the team to the brink of death.

Moreover, Manchester United just let go of Beckham and will soon lose Cristiano Ronaldo, which is undoubtedly worse.

"It's too much...... It's too much...... "Ferguson kept muttering to himself, and the whole person was on the verge of collapse.

David Gill patted him lightly on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry too much, everything will pass sooner or later, the club has such a long history, there are countless setbacks in between, these things, I believe we can also carry through these things." ”

After that, David Gill looked at him and sighed: "It's just Sir yourself, I don't know what the plan is? The board of directors of the club has decided to pay you a year's salary as the club's care and compensation, and the money will be credited to your account tomorrow." ”

Ferguson looked up at David Gill and asked, "Can you let me finish this opener?"

David Gill shook his head lightly and said: "Sir, the FA is very angry about this matter, because of our reasons, their reputation has also suffered a huge loss, so the FA is now very retaliatory against us, and they have made it clear that if we violate their punishment, they will continue to impose additional penalties on us, even limited to demoting us." ”

David added, "If you don't want to miss this game, we can watch it in the box together." ”

The tears that had been lingering in Ferguson's eyes for a long time finally slipped down, and he sighed and said dejectedly: "Okay, then I'll go to the box with you later, and now, let me say goodbye to my teammates." ”

David Gill nodded and said, "You can continue to make tactical arrangements for them again, and I am sure that they will play well today and prove their quality to the world." ”

Ferguson pushed the door back to the players' lounge, and all the players stood up one after another, staring at Ferguson with expressions full of reluctance.

Ferguson came to the blackboard and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Everyone, we have been working hard together for a while, some of you have even been with me for several years or even more than ten years, but our cooperation will be completely terminated today, I will accept the FA's punishment to me, leave Manchester United Club, and even leave English football, I hope that in the future, no matter what coach you are, No matter what kind of adversity you are in, you can give your all and win glory for Manchester United Football Club, thank you. ”

With that, Ferguson bowed deeply to all the players, and when he raised his head again, the entire dressing room was already choked with sobs.

Then, Ferguson made up his mind and said to everyone: "Goodbye, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already stepped out.

David Gill patted Ferguson on the arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to the box and wait for the opening." ”

Ferguson nodded, and glanced back at the players' lounge again, in the past ten years, how many home games, he has been here to guide the country, leading his Red Devils to all over England, and even the world's major clubs, but today, it is the last time he enters here.

Ferguson has imagined many times about his departure from Manchester United, and each time the scene is different, but the theme is the same: the four big words of success.

But now, I have gone against these four words and are getting farther and farther away.

……

When Manchester United's players made their home debut, the FA officially announced their penalty decision.

In addition to the overweight penalties imposed on Manchester United and Ferguson, they also imposed the biggest penalty on George Macmillan: a lifetime ban from any football activities in England.

That is to say, George Macmillan was later insulated from football in England.

As soon as the punishment came out, it immediately caused a huge reaction across the country, but fans and ordinary people didn't think that this punishment was serious, after all, what Ferguson did disappointed them so much, and it was right to keep him away from this industry in the face of such a person who challenged the rules, otherwise, he might challenge other rules in this industry in the future.

However, few in the football industry as a whole have come to terms with the FA's punishment of Ferguson.

But even so, no one dared to speak for him, for a time the entire football industry was in turmoil, everyone was in danger, all the club executives were holding an emergency meeting, the core of the meeting was one, a thorough self-examination, to see if there was any illegal operation, if there is, seize the time to solve, if not, we must continue to maintain it in the future.

In addition, what is more worthy of everyone's attention is that the Premier League has a super giant crocodile, from today onwards, don't mess with anyone Manchester City.

When the FA released the information, it was already early in the morning.

After all, Li Mu still lived up to Anne Hathaway's innermost expectations, and he invited Anne to live in his home, which was indeed considerate among friends, and he didn't have any other thoughts.

His room was opposite Anne Hathaway, and after the two said goodnight to each other at the door, until he got up the next day, Li Mu never left his room again, and slept very soundly.

But Anne Hathaway didn't sleep well all night, the first half of the night was worried about what Li Mu would do if he knocked on the door, and in the second half of the night, she began to think about why Li Mu didn't knock on the door, and the quality of sleep was very poor.

What makes Anne Hathaway even more depressed is that although there are a lot of flights from Yanjing to Spring City, because the crew is still hundreds of kilometers away from the airport, Li Ziwei thoughtfully booked a plane for her at 10 am the next day, which means that Anne Hathaway will leave for the airport at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Therefore, the two did not have much intersection the next day, Li Mu got up early to prepare some simple American breakfast, which was nothing more than milk and cereal, and a few slices of toast from the toaster, and the two of them sat facing each other and chatted about some non-nutritious topics, all of which were standard for friends.

After eating, the motorcade of Makino Technology has already arrived at the door of the villa.

Li Mu said to her: "Annie, I won't go to the airport to see you off, and if I have time in a few days, I will go to Spring City to see you." ”

Anne Hathaway nodded slightly, embarrassed and disappointed in her heart.

Li Mu saw off Anne Hathaway, who was a little lost at the door of his villa in Ziyun Villa, and as soon as he turned around, he received a call from Li Ziwei.

Her voice was full of excitement, and she said excitedly: "Mr. Li, the FA has released the punishment results in the early morning!"
