Although in 1997, the wealthy Egyptian businessman Fayyad bought Fulham, but Fulham was only a League Two club at that time, on the other hand, Fayyad lived in London all the year round, and his Harrods department store was already accepted by the British, so his acquisition of Fulham did not cause any shock.

And Shakloo is different, the British don't know him at all, and the arrogant and seriously xenophobic British don't believe that the Indians from the football desert can lead a Premier League team, the only one who has confidence in Shakloo is the British Willian company, because they are too aware of Shaklowe's predictive ability in this regard, so after learning that Coventry changed hands to him, he immediately reduced the odds of Coventry's relegation next season by three percentage points.

Shaklough was not paying attention to all the disturbances from the outside world, and at the moment he was talking to the team's head coach, Gordon Strachan, and it was interesting to say that the manager who won the England Young Coach of the Year was quite interesting, having been an assistant coach until November 1996, when he was responsible for the financial crisis at Ron Atkinson (Coventry, who spent 50 million pounds in office). It didn't come of much either) was sacked and took on an interim role as head coach, although he beat Tottenham Hotspur in the final round to avoid relegation.

In the season just ended, he led the team to successfully win the relegation battle, so now his prestige in the team is very high, and he is a very good tinker, very good at using the existing cards in his hand to win, but the record of successful transfer is very small, which is complementary to the direction that Shakru is good at, so Shaklowe's first step is to keep him.

Originally, Shaklu thought that it would be very troublesome to keep him, but he didn't expect that just by raising his salary and confirming that the next position as head coach would still be his, Strachan agreed to stay at Coventry City.

Afterwards, Shaklu learned that it was not that Strachan did not want to go, but that no team wanted him, to be precise, no other Premier League team wanted him, because although he won the best young coach of the year in England this year, his qualifications were too shallow after all, and he only had relegation experience, so no Premier League team extended an olive branch to him.

There are several teams in League One who are interested in him, but he doesn't want to go, the Premier League coach and the League One coach are completely two grades. Another reason is that Strachan feels that although the club has a new owner, the main lineup has hardly moved, so this season's relegation should still be no problem, anyway, the task given by the new owner is relegation.

The new owner of the team, the most common way to please the home team fans is to buy strong players, increase the strength of the team to give fans the hope of the team's performance this season, after the new owner of Shaklu took office, although he also bought a few players, but his shot made many people feel puzzled, and even felt too stingy, because none of the players he bought were big-name players, they were all youngsters and abandoned players of other teams.

The first thing Shakru needs to enhance is the team's attacking power, although now the veteran Gary McAllister in the team is playing quite stable, but after all, he is already a veteran who is more than 35 years old, and his physical strength cannot be maintained for a season, and his technical characteristics are too simple, Shakloo needs a strong striker with comprehensive skills, in fact, Vieri is the most in line with Shaklu's expectations, but the problem is that he can't afford it, So he retreated and set his sights on Australian striker Mark Viduka, who is currently very unsatisfactory at the Celtic giants of the Soviet Super League.

The Australian striker's quality is quite well-rounded, and at 1.8 meters tall, he can not only use his body and height to steal points, but also have a strong air advantage. What's more valuable is that his foot skills are not bad, and he also has a strong ability to protect the ball and create opportunities for his teammates. In his previous three years with Croatian powerhouse Zagreb (now Dinamo Zagreb), he scored more than 50 goals in the league and helped Dinamo Zagreb win three domestic league and cup titles, as well as excelling in European competitions.

However, because the introduction of Viduka was the personal idea of Croatian President Tudjman, the head coach was not consulted. When Viduka is out of form, fans will pull him by the dreadlocks of his associates, and sometimes he has even become the target of political battles. And life in Croatia, which had not yet fully emerged from the shadow of war at that time, also made Viduka often worried. The attacks from the fans and the psychological pressure made it difficult for Viduka to go out to eat at one point. Even after he transferred to the Soviet Super League giants Celtic, he was once plagued by psychological problems, and he ran away from the club without playing a game and never returned.

Coupled with the presence of Sweden's top scorer Henrik Larsson, it is easy to imagine how Viduka was doing with Celtic, but in fact, after Larsson was seriously injured and broke his leg in the new season, Viduka was forced to pick up the offensive burden of the whole team, and he recovered his form, scoring 27 league goals in one season and being crowned the top scorer in the Soviet Super League.

Therefore, Shaklough feels that this is the best opportunity to buy Viduka, Celtic does not pay attention to him, has no chance to play, and he himself is not happy in the team, although Coventry is not as famous as Celtic, but after all, it is a Premier League team, and it is a grade higher than the Soviet Super League, so in the end, Shakloo easily bought him for a transfer fee of 2.8 million pounds, you must know that Celtic spent 6 million pounds to take him away from Croatia.

Solving the problem of the striker, the next step is the midfield, in this position Xacrowe needs a commander role, this time his choice is even bolder, directly to the famous Barcelona to buy the young Mikel Arteta, who has just entered the Barcelona B team.

Arteta is an interesting player, he is a product of Barcelona's academy, but his style of play is not suitable for La Liga at all, but he is like a fish in water in the rough Premier League, which can be seen from his performances in Real Sociedad and Everton.
