Chapter 623: Acquisition and Baggio
On the day of the game, the whole Notts County team flew back to England, but David did not leave with the team, as the negotiations between his investment team and Brescia had already made substantial progress. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Brescia president Coglioni's final offer is 130 million euros, and from the current situation, it is probably impossible to go any lower, unless Brescia is actually relegated from Serie A at the end of the season.
However, Corioni made it clear that if Brescia is relegated, then he will not sell the club, but will choose to bring the club back to life, although there may be an increase in the price factor, but David is really afraid that he has such a choice, after all, in his previous life, Corioni has been sitting in the chairmanship of Brescia.
Well, suffering is a blessing, maybe now it seems that David has to pay tens of millions of euros more, but for David, money is just a number for him, he doesn't care about how much money he has in his pocket, how can he care about these tens of millions of euros!
When the contract was signed, David was not present, but gave full authority to the investment team to complete it, and the media only knew that this was a capital from the United States, and it was not possible to find out more for the time being.
Of course, David just felt that he had to be a little monotonous in the final rush stage of Notts County, not that he wanted to hide the fact that he was the boss of Brescia, after all, the investigation of the Italian Football Association was not a decoration, and he could not hide it for the rest of his life.
This club acquisition case is the first time that foreign capital has settled in Italian football, but it has set off a lot of waves in Italian football, many bigwigs openly opposed, and many radical nationalists protested, but this did not have a practical impact, because the buyer and seller have reached an agreement, and the Italian Football Federation does not explicitly prohibit foreign investment in Italian clubs.
In fact, the reason why the Italian Football Federation did not openly oppose and intentionally or unintentionally created conditions for the acquisition, although it seems that Italian football is glamorous, and the top teams are relatively stable in European competitions, but the real situation is that as the Italian economic environment continues to decline, the operation of Serie A clubs is becoming increasingly difficult, the financial situation is worrying, and the traditional family business philosophy is still seriously restricting the development of Italian football.
This acquisition can be said to be an attempt by the Italian Football Federation, compared to Italian capital, foreign capital is obviously more dynamic and operational, if it can create a better development model, then the Italian Football Federation does not mind following suit.
In Brescia, fans don't have much resistance to the club's acquisition by foreign capital, after all, the team's relegation situation is difficult, it is difficult to say that it will be able to stay in Serie A next season, since it is already rotten to the end, so why not come to a break and stand up!
Since Baggio's retirement, Brescia has seen that they are going back to the old road in history, you know, in history, they are just a small club that is not in the stream, there is no champion, they don't have so many giants, and they don't have so many giants.
If this capital from the United States can really lead the club to glory, then why don't they open their arms to it!
Although Italians have the worst xenophobia in all of Europe, that doesn't mean they're old and stubborn.
Look at Chelsea in the Premier League, after being bought by the Russian oligarch Abu, it has become a top powerhouse, and it is also a little short of the giants, which team dares to say that it will be able to win in the face of Chelsea?
If they can also become the Chelsea of Italian football, it doesn't matter who the owner is! Anyway, the happiest worry must be their fans!
In this way, in the midst of the disturbances, the dust has settled on the acquisition of Brescia by foreign capital, and Italian football is about to open a new chapter.
After the acquisition, David still did not leave, and he still needs to direct the operation of the club after the acquisition.
Because the league is not over yet, all clubs from top to bottom, David has not laid off a single person, the club is still operating step by step, he needs a few high-level executives to stabilize his morale, of course, if the team can really be relegated, it will be the most perfect.
After that, he has to think about next season, first of all, he wants to find the most suitable general manager for Brescia.
David did not hesitate to call Baggio from the club, who was doing charity work in Haiti with the Food Organization of the United Nations.
"Hello Mr. Baggio, I'm David Parvis, chairman of Premier League club Notts County!" After the phone was connected, David introduced himself very formally!
Baggio on the other end of the phone subconsciously replied, "Hello! But he was a little stunned, he didn't understand why the president of the Notts County club called him, although he was no longer engaged in football-related work after retiring, it does not mean that he completely left football, for Notts County, the most popular club in Europe, he is still like thunder, you know, when he retired last season, Notts County just won the Premier League.
"I wonder what Mr. Parvez called me about?" Baggio asked politely, but he wondered in his heart, was he planning to invite himself back to play in Notts County?
Baggio's brain hole can still stand, Notts County's results are strong and stable, but if you want to be promoted to a giant, stable results are not enough, you also need a wider influence, and you have a former world's top player to join, which will undoubtedly make Notts County pay a lot of attention and help Notts County improve the level.
Obviously, though, David couldn't have really invited him to play in Notts County.
"That's right, Mr. Baggio, maybe you don't know the news, I have bought the Brescia club, and now I solemnly invite you to be the general manager of the Brescia club, I don't know what you think?" David didn't go around in circles with Baggio because he knew that Baggio was a simple and pure person.
"What? You acquired Brescia? Baggio was taken aback, although he knew that Brescia's old club was bought by foreign capital, he never thought that the person who bought it was David, a big man in English football.
"Yes, from now on, Brescia is mine, but my focus will definitely be in England, so I need someone with an unrivalled influence at the club to manage the club, and you are the best choice!" David spoke matter-of-factly. (To be continued.) )
