Chapter 2: Acquisitions?

Just when David hadn't fully digested the fact that he had crossed over, an uninvited guest came to the door.

The team's head coach, Jokey Scott, and a strange young man.

Out of politeness, David invited the two of them in and sat on the sofa in the living room, but David looked like he was watching his nose and nose, because he really didn't want to see this mediocre team coach in his heart.

Years of investment have made the team not inferior to any League Two team in terms of squad configuration, but the team's results are still more than the embarrassment of being less than the top, is there no deeper reason?

David had already made up his mind that the first thing he would do when he got used to the environment and take control of the club was to sack the poor manager.

"Mr. President, let me introduce you, this gentleman is Gino Pozzo of the Pozzo family, the head of the Italian Udinese club, he came to visit you, so he asked me to be the introducer, I think you are all young people, you should have a common language." Seemingly unaware of the impatience on David's expression, Scott introduced with a smile.

The Pozzo family?

Is it the legendary family that treats the football industry as a business?

I remember that at the peak of their previous life, the Pozzo family controlled the three major league clubs of Udinese in Italy, Granada in La Liga, and Watford in the English Premier League, and they were shareholders of several well-known clubs, and they were in the limelight for a while.

However, given their strategy of buying players low and then buying players high, David prefers to call them "European black shops", second only to Porto's.

What is this guy doing with himself?

David doesn't know, but it's still a lack of interest.

"Mr. Parves, please forgive me for being direct, the purpose of visiting you today is to buy your Notts County Club, I know that Notts County Club is not in a good position right now, maybe it would be better for you to exchange the club for a sum of cash." Little Pozzo doesn't seem to want to waste time here, and gets straight to the point.

Buying out Notts County?

If David remembers correctly, the Pozzo family only entered English football in 2012 after they bought Watford, who were still in the Championship at the time, how can there be signs of entering England now?

Although I don't know if the Pozzo family will fall in love with Notts County, and I don't know if history has deviated at some point, but no matter what, David will not take action at Notts County Club.

But before David could say no, something happened that made him angry.

Scott, the coach who was sitting on the sofa just now, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, suddenly spoke: "Mr. President, I think Mr. Pozzo's acquisition proposal is a very good solution to the bad situation of the club, you know, the club is struggling right now, only by changing a leader and continuing to invest can it get out of the quagmire, and the Pozzo family controls the Serie A powerhouse Udinese, has a wealth of experience in running a football club, and is the best person to take over Notts County." ”

David never imagined that Scott was actually on the side of the Pozzo family, and if he didn't know what was wrong with this, then he really didn't have any difference from an idiot.

Picking up the goblet and shaking it gently, his eyes were full of chill when he looked at Scott, "I think it's okay, even if the team is not doing well recently, there will always be a day when I will get out of the quagmire, and that will not be a reason for me to sell the club." If you end your purpose today, I'm afraid you're going to disappoint you. ”

He hates traitors the most, and Scott's behavior is undoubtedly provoking his bottom line.

"In fact, it is pointless for you to hold on like this, even the media knows that you have no money, there is no way to continue to invest in the team, if you continue like this, the team will not be able to escape the tragic fate of being held in custody by the bank, don't you think about the club and the fans? You're so selfish like that! Scott's face also became ugly, and although he didn't tear his face directly, his tone had become indifferent.

David sneered and said sarcastically: "Mr. Scott, please don't forget your identity, you are now the manager of Notts County, not the manager of Udinese, I don't think a person who eats inside and outside has any right to stand in front of me and say that I am selfish." ”

David's words mercilessly tore off Scott's hypocritical face, making the old coach angry, Huo Ran got up, and threatened in an unkind tone: "I am the coach of Notts County, I am responsible for the club's results, a chairman like you is not qualified at all, if you still want to continue to go to hell with Notts County, then please sue me not to accompany you, I choose not to renew the contract, and I also want to tell you that the two midfield cores of the team also have no expectations for the future of the club, and they will not renew the contract, if there is no us, Next season Notts County are waiting to be relegated! ”

His expression became hideous, like an angry bull, eager to rush over and tear Scott to pieces, even if reason told him that the other party's behavior of pulling money from the bottom of the kettle would help him build a new team, but it was still difficult to suppress the resentment in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, he said coldly word by word: "That's great, I can open another bottle of red wine to celebrate in the evening, I don't think a garbage coach like you can bring much help to the team, it's better to go!" ”

David and Scott were there to fight each other, while little Pozzo sat on the couch as if watching the dog-eat-dog fight.

"Mr. Parvis, it's a shame if we can't come to an agreement, but I've got a lot of interest in Notts County, don't you think about it anymore? I'm here with sincerity, and maybe you should listen to my offer. Pozzo was actually a little annoyed with Scott's stupidity, which angered David, and God knows if he would rather have nothing at the end than sell Notts County to them.

David glanced at Xiao Bozo coldly, and said calmly: "I don't want to listen to your offer, even if you offer a high price, I won't sell the club!" ”

"£800w, plus we'll take on the club's debt, if you agree, the deal can go through right away!" Xiao Bozo seemed to be sure of David, and said directly.

800w pounds?

David sneered inwardly.

Is this called sincerity?

Although David had already made up his mind not to sell Notts County, he still weighed the value of Notts County in his heart.

Excluding liabilities, the club's market capitalisation is close to £2,000w, after all, the Meadow Lane course is owned by the club, and if you remove the debt, it is definitely more than £1,500w.

Of course, this is measured in terms of value itself, but if you look at the football environment, this figure will shrink significantly, and considering the dilemma of Notts County itself, the price offered by Junior Pozzo is low, but it is still realistic.

The Pozzo family is here to pick up the bargain.

He has roughly understood why the Pozzo family is optimistic about Notts County, because there is no Premier League team in the whole of Nottinghamshire, as long as one team is acquired and surpassed, it is destined to become a standout in Notts County, with a huge impact and attention.

Nottingham Forest is a League One team, the value is higher, even if they can afford it, the Pozzo family is not willing to spend all the cash here, and Notts County is relatively cheaper, not to mention that Notts County also holds the name of the earliest existing professional club in England, with a large number of fans, it is the most suitable choice.

"Maybe Mr. Pozo should go to the doctor, my words are very clear, if you continue to bid, I can only blame the reason for your hearing problems, of course, now that medicine is developed, it is not a big problem, is it?" David said with a sneering face.

The two sides parted unhappily, and when they left, Pozzo, who had always been a gentleman, also spoke ill of each other: "Since you are so stubborn, then wait to go to hell with your Notts County, damn British!" I'll buy a club in Nottingham and I'll be here waiting to see the day when you fall like a dog. ”

David laughed uncontrollably, he really couldn't ask for it.

Buying their own head coach, digging into the corners of the team, coveting their own team but still giving it to themselves, the Pozzo family's approach completely angered David.

It was thought that they would only be able to get revenge on them in English football when they bought Watford ten years later, but now it seems that it will not have to wait that long.

Buying up a club in Nottingham?

Whether it is Nottingham Senli or Mansfield City, they are the sworn enemies of Notts County, and no matter which branch the Pozzo family owns, he will not have any psychological burden to clean up.
