Volume 1 Chapter 28 The Dust Has Settled
The time entered the end of the month, and the Champions League was about to restart, and Julie lit a fire in Liverpool, completely turning this drama that lasted for nearly four months into a farce......
In the Melwood conference room, David Moores slammed the echo newspaper in his hand on his desk and yelled, "What's going on, can anyone tell me what's going on?" ”。
Everyone frowned, and Al had one in his hand.
"The Echo is our own newspaper, and we don't take it seriously, I just want to know if it's true! Shit! David Moores was a little hysterical.
Parry looked through it, and the more he looked at it, the more his brow furrowed, and finally he gasped.
"I just want to know, what the hell is ...... ...... above this Finally...... Is it true? David Moores spat out dirty words, unable to vent his anger, a feeling of being played and a moment of fear.
Gillette, a son of a bitch, was rejected last Christmas when she asked for a price, but I didn't expect such a big set this time!
Al stood up and said, "I'll investigate right away and suspend all negotiations first."
"F**K", Moores swept the data all over the floor.
Before Al walked out of the office building, he was surrounded by a large number of media outlets, and Al cursed F**K in his heart.
Outside the gates, crowds of fans waved banners in an angry protest, "American crooks get out of Liverpool!" "Middle Eastern pigs get back, too!".
Julie is an instant hit!
"Liverpool's acquisition has encountered twists and turns again, and it is suspected of encountering an American scam!" 》
"Gillette is on the verge of bankruptcy!" White Wolf with Empty Gloves
"Crackling......", "Shit, F**K, who the fuck did this?" Gillett and Hicks smashed all their glasses in a fit of rage.
Benitez is in the office, and after reading it, he is also a little scared, most of the investments in Gillette listed above are in a state of loss, the capital chain is on the verge of breaking, and the debt level is very dangerous.
The most important thing is that at the end of this information, there is a loan certificate that Gillette has just obtained from the bank to buy Liverpool as collateral for the VAM agreement, this guy is a complete liar!
Once Liverpool was bought by such a person, Benitez didn't dare to think about it......
He opened the door of the locker room, looked at his players, and felt a pang of distress in his heart, alas, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but his face remained silent.
He clapped his hands and said: "Guys, things are a bit chaotic at the club right now, but I believe it will be resolved soon, everyone must not be affected, play our game with peace of mind, and in addition, please keep silent with the media and do not give interviews on this topic." ”
David Moores was sitting on the couch at home, he had been on fire for the past few days, and Al was reporting on the results of the investigation in the past few days.
He said while checking the information: "According to my investigation in the past few days, the content of the report ...... It's basically true", he said, looking up at Moore.
Murse was even more irritable when he heard this, and slapped the armrest hard, "This son of a bitch Yankee, whew~."
Al continued, "Although the Echo reported that this information was sent to them anonymously, and I don't know who it was, it did help us a lot, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Moores nodded, "Those squirting fellows have been ...... by this liar's empty promise," he forgetting that he had been fooled in the first place.
Al added: "Dubai International has also received the news that they ...... drove the price down by 30 million ......".
Moores sighed, lying on the sofa with his head back, a little tired, "They are taking the opportunity to lower the price and rob while the fire is hot."
"Do we want to ...... then," Al asked hesitantly.
Murse waved his hand, "Let me think about it for a few days, you go back first".
……
Dinner time.
Ma Qin's family is eating, Chen Zixuan has been pregnant for a few months and is beginning to show her pregnancy, Peter is waiting carefully, their family is definitely late marriage and late childbirth, and there are also reasons for high pressure, and they dare to put it on the agenda only after they have some savings in the past two years.
Ai Ming asked while eating: "Brother, your club has been very lively recently, it is a fraud and an acquisition, what's going on?"
Makqin said: "You don't usually pay attention to the news in this area, how did you change sex?"
"Aren't you there, you're going to play there, I have to care about it."
Peter interjected: "I contacted the old Hyway two days ago, and they don't know much about it, just let me tell you not to be affected, and train with peace of mind." ”
"Well, I know, don't worry", Makqin nodded.
Peter sandwiched Chen Zixuan's meal, and said, "I'll go to Melwood in two days to inquire, as your agent, I still have the right to ask." ”
"No need Peter, I think it will settle down soon, and now the club has issued an order to ban interviews, and you probably won't be able to ask if you go," he said, shaking his head.
"By the way, Peter, you can help me find a small pool suitable for training, I need to work on my balance"
"The coach said that training in the water is more effective with less effort, but Melwood's swimming pool is for the wounded, and we can't make it our turn, so we have to trouble you," Mackin said to Peter.
Peter said: "It's easy to do, the fitness center we work with has a swimming pool, I can find a suitable long-term rental, anyway, you are not afraid to spend this kind of money." ”
More than a month later.
Liverpool eliminated defending champions Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16 knockout round and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, with Benitez's right-sided pair successfully beating Ronaldinho with Steven Gerrard, who switched to the right.
The atmosphere at Melwood has also calmed down, with the board's proposal for a takeover on hold and the media and fans awaiting the club's final decision.
Today, David Moores convened the board of directors, and he dressed very spiritually, deliberately groomed, and looked a little more energetic.
On the main seat, as soon as he sat down, Moores said straight to the point: "What do you know today, we have to make a decision today, about the acquisition, I think the time is not ripe at the moment, and the decision is to be put on hold indefinitely"
He looked around and said, "I have a few more years to do and I believe Liverpool will get better and better, and we are on the right path to recovery." If you disagree, we will vote by show of hands. ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all raised their hands helplessly, there is really no better choice now, Dubai's price reduction is too ruthless.
"Okay, in that case, Parry, you draft an open letter to the media and fans right now to put an end to this farce!" After saying that, Moores got up and left.
The next day, Liverpool's official website released Liverpool's official letter of explanation to fans about the acquisition.
In the hall, Parry stood behind the podium, facing the crowd, and said: "Friends from the media, welcome to Liverpool's press conference today, and we will make a special statement on the recent acquisition." ”
“…… The Board of Directors conducted in-depth investigation and patient negotiations with the capital parties with acquisition intentions"
“…… The board of directors has always been in the interests of the Liverpool team, and the previous introduction of capital is also for the better development of the club, and we hope to introduce a strong and passionate capital party that can provide support for the long-term development of the club."
“…… Liverpool are on the path to a great revival, the board loves Liverpool and we will not do anything to the detriment of Liverpool's interests......"
"So in the end, after all considerations, the board of directors has decided to terminate all acquisition negotiations and will not restart the acquisition in the short term, and this is the end of the press conference, thank you!" Parry turned around and left after saying that, without giving the media time to ask questions, and he still had a lot of aftermath to deal with.
"Rafa, you know, I'm not going to explain nonsense," Parry said, sitting down on the couch and facing Benitez.
"Well, you know, the board decided to terminate the takeover, so ......," Benitez got up from his desk and poured Parry a cup of coffee.
Parry took the coffee and said, "Thank you", "So Rafa, I'm sure you're prepared, our transfer money will be tight next season, and the Champions League income this season is also very important to us", Parry took a sip of coffee and said to Benitez.
"I know, I'm mentally prepared, but fortunately we played well in the Champions League this year, and the opponents in the quarter-finals are also in our favor", said Benitez scratching his hair, "but we need to bring in quality stars to achieve a breakthrough in results, otherwise the situation will get worse and worse"
"I understand that, but ......"
Benitez stretched out his hand to stop Parry's words and continued: "Parry, listen to me, I'm not asking the club for money, I'm saying that if we can reach the final of the Champions League this year, then our economy won't be too bad this year"
He made up his mind again and continued: "In the summer I will be dealing with some players who are not very helpful in the team, and I hope to be able to handle this amount of money freely, and I promise to make sure that I try to make ends meet, but we can't make a profit by selling players, that is self-defeating. ”
"OK, Liverpool is not a short-sighted club, the board will not dig its own grave, and the board has long agreed on the income from the sale of players, allowing you to spend freely." , Parry assured.
Benitez was instructed by the board to be stable, otherwise Liverpool would be really in chaos.
"Then I'll be OK here, I'll try to break even, but then our bench strength will be weakened, and it will be very difficult to play on multiple fronts this season." , Benitez sighed in his heart, thinking that this is really a somewhat down-and-out giant.
"The board will understand that, it won't put too much pressure on you in this regard, but for the sake of financial income, we have to make sure that we get into the Champions League every year"
He patted Benitez and said, "As long as we survive these two years, I believe it will be fine, and now Liverpool are recovering strongly under your leadership, we are again attractive to top sponsors, and the club's debt is in the ...... healthy range".
"I'll do my job~", Benitez held out his hand.
"Good work, Rafa", Parry shook Benitez's hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'm going to appease the fans".
Benitez scratched his head again, sat down and sighed, let's play the rest of the game first.
