To be honest, Liu Si likes football, especially when he entered middle age in his last life, he loves it very much, perhaps it is the lifeless and unchanging life of middle age that prompts him to find some fierce youth wind to blow his old heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are not many people who love the game of football in the country, but it is certain that he is the leader of the first sport in the field of sports. Even basketball has to take a back seat.

Considered one of the best leagues in the world since its inception on February 20, 1992, the Premier League is fast-paced, competitive and has become the most popular sporting event in the world and the highest-paid football league.

Since his rebirth, Liu Si has watched Serie A whenever he has time (Serie A in the 90s was indeed very exciting), but in the habit he developed in his previous life, he paid more attention to the Premier League. Serie A is currently very hot, unlike a future Serie A match, the stadium is not full, every game in Serie A in the 90s was full, and the football atmosphere was at the forefront.

But speaking of which, the Premier League still has more potential to become the first league. Why? Although Serie A allows foreign investment to enter, the investment atmosphere is not good, the Italian government stipulates that football clubs cannot have their own stadiums, must rent stadiums from the government, and the price is to death.

There are not many restrictions in La Liga, the only restriction is that La Liga's broadcast revenue share is not very friendly to teams other than Real Madrid and Barcelona, and at the same time, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a huge influence on the Spanish Football Association, and it is difficult for small clubs (not to mention foreign capital) to survive in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona will definitely not accept foreign investment, and other teams have no investment meaning.

In the Bundesliga, the 50+1 rule restricts gold dollar football in Germany at least to a considerable extent. At least for a big boss who wants to play football, no amount of money can be used in the company alone, which in itself will make the vast majority of such people unhappy.

As for Ligue 1, it is the competitiveness factor of the league as a whole, especially after the Boseman Act, the competitiveness of Ligue 1 has plummeted. Because the tax rate on the rich is as high as 75% in France, compared to 50% in the UK, 48% in Italy, 50% in Germany and 35% in Spain, the superstars of Ligue 1 after the Boseman Act will even stay away from Ligue 1 if it is even a little possible. So much so that in the 21st century, people are often only willing to say that the four major leagues, the level of football competition in Ligue 1 is worse than La Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League, and Serie A, and it is certainly not worth investing.

The Premier League is the most ideal league to invest in a football team, and it may be perfect if there is no labor certification system. The truth is not so good, there is a little flaw, after comparison, Liu Si decided to invest in the Premier League.

Very early, a few years ago, Liu Si wanted to buy a Premier League team, but unfortunately he had no spare money so he had to let go of this idea. Now, after nearly a month of hedging the September forward contracts of Thai baht, ringgit, peso, and Indonesiar, Liu Shengqiang has finally closed the remaining $56.31 billion of the $73.13 billion September forward contract. After all, the Thai baht, ringgit, peso, and rupiah are still in the process of falling, and it is still easy to close the position naturally, and the September forward contracts of 56.315 billion baht, ringgit, peso, and rupiah have fallen again recently, with a total profit of 26.1783 billion US dollars.

The profit of $26.1783 billion Liu Si allowed Liu Shengqiang to leave $5 billion to continue selling forward contracts in yen, South Korean won, New Taiwan dollar and Singapore dollar, and continue to short, with a leverage of 10 times. In other words, Liu Si is ready to short the yen, South Korean won, New Taiwan dollar and Singapore dollar totaling $100 billion. Among them, the South Korean won has the largest short-selling quota of 40 billion US dollars, followed by the Japanese yen with 35 billion US dollars, and the short quota of Xinjiapo Yuan and New Taiwan Dollar is only 25 billion US dollars.

The remaining $21,178.3 billion was transferred out of Xinjiapo's securities account. Through Liu Si's account at Citibank, Liu Si directly left $5 billion and injected another $1 billion into the Russian Foreign Trade Bank to prepare for speculation on Russia's monetary reform.

The remaining $15,178.3 billion will be transferred to the United States through underground banks or various ways and means to absorb network technology stocks and some blue-chip stocks in the securities market. These include Cisco, Sun, Compaq, Yahoo, Amazon, Pfizer, American Cable, Intel, Walmart, General Motors, Lucent, Citigroup, ExxonMobil Corporation, AIG, Green Mountain Coffee, ............

Liu Si couldn't bear to miss the Internet bubble feast in 2000, the only regret was that because the funds were transferred to the United States, coupled with the hegemony of the Yankees, Liu Si did not dare to invest his funds in index futures, which were easier to make money.

After the Boseman Act, the former protagonists in the transfer market have changed from clubs to players, and after the only obstacle to their transfer was abolished, Europe immediately plunged into a crazy era! The first is the Premier League, where there are many big foreign owners, and the £15 million transfer fee set by Shearer when he joined Newcastle from Blackburn Rovers in 1996 was quickly broken.

In addition to revolutionizing the transfer market, the Boseman Act was also a milestone moment in the use of foreign aid. At that time, the European Union stipulated that all leagues implemented a "3+2 policy", that is, a team could have 5 non-EU players, and the starting lineup for a game could have a maximum of 3 foreign players! This change immediately led to a flood of foreign aid in Europe. On 26 December 1999, Chelsea started the Premier League for the first time with an all-out foreign player. The impact of foreign aid is all-encompassing, as small and medium-sized teams are also willing to bring in cheap foreign aid in order to save money, and with the pace of the EU's eastward expansion, the influx of Eastern European players is also easier. In 1994, the proportion of foreign aid in the Bundesliga was only 21%, and 10 years later it was close to 60%

Of course, Liu Si is also very glad about the Bosman Act, because of this bill, as long as it is acquired, it can immediately invest money to buy players, so that it will not be immediately relegated to a Championship team because of the strength of a Premier League team just acquired. Premier League clubs that are not going to spend a lot of money to buy will immediately depreciate and be relegated to the Championship.

While most of the reason for investing in the Premier League is interest, as a businessman or entrepreneur, the first thing to consider is to make a profit. For a soccer team, in order to be profitable, the population and economic situation of the city where the team is located are the first things to consider.

The first thing Britain needs to consider is, of course, London. Under Moy's introduction, Liu Si knows that there are a total of 13 football clubs in London, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Leyton East, Millwall, Charlton Athletic, Barnett, Brentford, and Dagenham.

In the 1997-1998 Premier League season, London teams included Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Crystal Palace. Among the five, only Crystal Palace Liu Si is the most satisfied, after Baidu Encyclopedia, it was found that the owner of Crystal Palace, Ron North, intends to sell Crystal Palace Football Club, and the current record of Crystal Palace is not good, playing 6 rounds, the winning rate is 0%, that is to say, after playing 5 rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace has not won a game at present. The most important thing is that Crystal Palace have not drawn in five Premier League games, and now they are at the bottom of the table with only zero points.

Ron Knott is not a big boss and is worth no more than £30 million, of which Crystal Palace has to hold at least £25 million in assets. Ron Nooz now understands that Crystal Palace has no way out under him, and in his 17 years at the helm, more than £5 million a year has been invested in the transfer market, which is a pitiful amount.

He is interested in selling Crystal Palace as soon as they are promoted to the Premier League this year, and he is already in tentative price talks with Goldberg.

Goldberg's first pot of gold came from the football field, which means that he was also a football player. He was called up by head coach Al Albert at the College of William & Mary. From 1982 to 1983, he also played football in the United States for two seasons.

Goldberg's purchase of Crystal Palace was financed by his first investment as a player in an internet job board, but in the 2000 dot-com bubble, the dot-com company he invested in declared bankruptcy.

Even so, in the toughest of times, Crystal Palace was not sold. At present, Liu Si's opponent is Goldberg, but as long as Liu Si confirms that Ron Noz is willing to sell Crystal Palace, then he will definitely be able to buy Crystal Palace.

In the 1980~1981 season, Crystal Palace, which had just been promoted to League One a year ago, was relegated at the bottom of the league rankings. For small teams, especially those that do not have the support of the big boss behind them, it is very difficult to be promoted after relegation. Other reasons aside, the relegated team will not even earn 30% of League One after reaching League Two. There is a big gap between the ticket revenue of League B, the broadcast income of League B and League A, and the commercial sponsorship income, etc., and the ticket revenue of League B will only be half of that of League A, and the gap between the broadcast income of League B and League A is generally 2 times or more, and the gap between commercial sponsorship is 5 times or even more than 10 times. Generally speaking, professional sports clubs need to pursue profits like commercial companies, and the current three mainstream sources of income include: game ticket revenue, TV rights income and commercial operation income, and economists' analysis is a ratio of 4:4:2. It was in the midst of this crisis that Ron Knoz took over the Crystal Palace team.

The difficulty of relegated teams in relegating to retain League One players is the most important reason why relegated teams are difficult to promote. In addition to their own financial difficulties, it is difficult to pay a high League One level salary, and there is also a League One level player who is not willing to play in League One.

In the 1980~1981 season, Ron Nooz took over the Crystal Palace team and still couldn't stop the fact that Crystal Palace was relegated, and even in the next 3 years, Crystal Palace was relegated to the League C. In 1984, Ron Knorz hired 28-year-old Steve Coppell as head coach and signed a seven-year contract, hoping that Steve Coppel would rebuild the team into England's best team in the next seven years. The close collaboration between the two made this possible, and in 1988/89 Crystal Palace were once again in the First Division after beating Blackburn Rovers at home in the promotion play-offs.

In the 1989-90 season, Crystal Palace set a number of club records. The team first suffered a heavy 0-9 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, setting the record for the biggest defeat. However, they then beat Liverpool 4-3 in the FA Cup semi-finals to avenge their first FA Cup final. Despite losing to Manchester United in the final, Ian Wright's two goals in the game still caught the hearts of fans as the team established itself in the English league this season.

The 1990/91 season was one of the most successful in the club's history, as they finished third in the First Division and lifted the trophy by beating Everton in the final of the ZDS Cup at Wembley.

In the 1992-93 season, in the final round of the league, Crystal Palace were unfortunately relegated after losing away to Arsenal. Ian Wright, who played for Crystal Palace, scored a goal for Arsenal. It was also Steve Koper's last game in charge, with his assistant subsequently taking over as head coach. In the two seasons that followed, Crystal Palace completed another cycle of promotion and relegation.

Dave Bassett was appointed head coach in January 1996 and led the team to the final of the promotion play-offs in his first season in charge, but lost to Leicester in the final minute and missed out on qualification. But history is always strikingly similar, and 12 months later, Crystal Palace were once again in the promotion play-off final and managed to progress to the Premier League with a last-minute goal that beat Sheffield United 1-0. But by the time Dave Bassett had gone to coach Nottingham Forest, Steve Koper was back in charge.
