"The Saudis bought a stake in Millwall? In other words, Millwall is about to change bosses? Is there any specific news? ”

When fans saw the media breaking the news, they immediately couldn't wait to know the specific news, the acquisition of a Premier League club is definitely big news, not only Millwall fans are concerned, other fans are also very concerned.

If the average team is better, Millwall is different, because their results are so good that they have caught the attention of the whole of English football.

England has an open football environment, and it is not surprising that foreign capital is moving in.

The takeover of Chelsea three years ago has become a typical example, and the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's big money shocked the world, and also made many small club fans expect foreign capital to buy the club, so that the club can get a lot of money.

Of course, there are also negative teaching materials.

Like, Manchester United.

The Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United met with strong resistance from Manchester United fans, and the result was as imagined, the power of the fans seemed to be very strong, but under the international capital, it still couldn't make a little wave.

In the end, the Glazer family completed the acquisition of Manchester United in the form of a large loan, and at the same time, Manchester United was saddled with high debts, and most of Manchester United's operations so far are trying to pay off debts, in other words, after Manchester United was bought, the club became poor.

There are two examples of acquisitions, and when it comes to acquisitions, fans will also be divided into two factions: one group supports the acquisition of Millwall FC, and they believe that international capital may bring a good economic environment for Millwall; On the other hand, they oppose takeovers, arguing that 'there is no international capital and Millwall is doing well'.

The latter won quite a bit of support.

If it weren't for the development of the club, that is, the results could be better, the English would still boycott foreign capital, in the eyes of many people on other continents, Europeans are very open, and the European market is also very open, but England is definitely a special country, the laws of British business are very open, and the football business atmosphere is the best in the world, but the traditional English people are very conservative.

The English were reluctant to accept change.

When the news of Millwall's acquisition came out, many fans wanted to get specific information, and at the same time, they also protested in front of the gate of Millwall club.

"We are against takeovers!"

"Grigory's chairman is very good! We want the club to function properly. ”

"Boycott the Saudis!"

"Saudis! Get out of Millwall! ”

“……”

The crowds grew more and more that day, and by the afternoon there were almost 1,000 people, and the nearby police station had to send more personnel to maintain order and urge Millwall FC to come forward and 'clarify' the news.

But what is there to clarify in the news?

Gregory has already sold his shares to the Saudis, he is not in the club at all in order to 'avoid suspicion', and it is uncertain whether he will be the chairman until the end of the tournament, most of the club's shares already belong to foreign Saudi capital, things have already happened, and it is too late to say anything.

At this time, Ebenezer stepped up, and he took several club officials to persuade the fans to leave, giving the explanation, "We can't stop the change at the top, the club will continue to grow and operate, don't worry about that." ”

Then Zhang Yang also had to stand up, he was actually reluctant to come forward, the change of shares in the top management has nothing to do with him, and the fans want to gather to demonstrate, which is also what the club's senior management should be worried about.

But the gathering of fans affected the training of the first team.

When the team is training normally, there is always a group of fans protesting outside, which will definitely affect the training state, Zhang Yang stressed to the players, "Don't be affected by the outside news, there will be no changes in our team, just normal training and games, our goals will not change because of club changes!" ”

Then Zhang Yang appeared in front of the club.

When Ebenezer and others came forward, the fans didn't pay attention to it at all, and continued to shout and protest, but when they saw Zhang Yang appear, the fans in front of the club consciously quieted down.

That's the influence of flamboyance.

After leading the team for more than a year, Zhang Yang proved his ability with results, almost all Millwall fans, will absolutely support Zhang Yang, even the famous 'football hooligans' among the fans, and even racist people, will be very satisfied with Zhang Yang's coaching, their statement is, "We oppose the Chinese coaching Millwall, but we are not against Zhang Yang's coaching, because Zhang Yang is different, he can bring unimaginable good results to the team!" ”

That's unimaginable!

Dating back more than a year ago, when Dennis Wise was the player and manager, Millwall was still struggling with relegation, and fans felt that it was already great to be able to succeed in relegation, and as a result, Millwall made a strong effort in the second half of the schedule and won the Championship title with continuous winning streaks.

At the beginning of the season, many media questioned Zhang Yang's ability to coach the team to the Premier League.

The Premier League and the Championship are different, half a season's good results do not mean that they have the ability to serve as the head coach, Millwall fans feel that Millwall can be relegated in the Premier League, which is already quite remarkable, after all, the public's comments are, "Millwall locked the relegation place in advance." ”

The result?

Now Millwall is top of the league!

Such a miracle manager is something that any fan loves.

Zhang Yang also established his prestige among the fans, no fans would openly oppose him, and almost all Millwall gave him absolute support.

When Zhang Yang appeared in front of the fans, there were still many people who planned to go over to ask for autographs, but fortunately, the police and security guards did a good job, they stopped the fanatical fans, so that Zhang Yang was not embarrassed to be surrounded by fans.

Zhang Yang shouted the microphone and said to the fans, "I know why you are here, and I understand your thoughts, but many things cannot be controlled. ”

"I can't comment on whether the change in ownership of the club is good or bad, but no matter what happens, I am still the manager of the team and as long as I am the manager, I will ensure the stability of the team, make sure that our game is not affected by other news!"

"So, rest assured, the team will not be affected, we are still chasing the goal!"

The flamboyant shouting made the fans quiet down a lot, and they even forgot the original intention of coming, and some fans immediately shouted and asked, "Zhang! Can you tell us what the team's goals are? ”

Old question!

If a group of reporters came to ask, Zhang Yang would definitely say that it was the 'top six', and the relegation could not be continued, but the top six could still be had.

But the fan base is different.

Zhang Yang groaned for a while, he didn't answer directly, but said with a smile, "Target? Just like you think! ”

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he left on the grounds of 'sorry, the team still has to train', but the fans present were in no mood to protest, and they talked about the last sentence-

"Like we thought? What is that? ”

"Is it a champion?"

"It's a champion for sure! Zhang Yang said, as we think, what I want is the champion! We're number one in the league! ”

"yes, it's definitely a champion!"

"It's amazing! I'm sure Zhang can do it, he's been creating miracles! ”

“……”

The fans talked enthusiastically, and then under the persuasion of the police, security guards, and club officials, they gradually dispersed and left.

————

All the fans left, and things didn't really pass.

A lot of people are concerned about the specific news of Millwall's high-level changes, and what the fans care about will become the media's inquiry, and the ubiquitous reporters will soon get the specific news.

The first is the issue of changes in the club's shares.

Glick and Grigory sold their shares, and the Saudis bought some sporadic shares, which they hold 59 percent, and they are still negotiating with Kurdish Matt to buy Matt's shares.

Kurd Matt was just an average fan, but he inherited his father's stake in Millwall, having previously held the most of Millwall's shares.

If Kurd-Maat does not sell his stake, the Saudis will not be able to take full control of Millwall FC, no matter what they do.

Quite a few people persuaded Kurdish-Matt not to sell his shares.

Kurdish Matt is also under consideration, and it is conceivable that this deal will not be possible to complete in a short period of time.

"But Kurdish Matt will sell at least part of it, because his father's assets are almost squandered by him." This is the conclusion reached by the Times reporter after an interview.

Kurd Matt is a 'rich second generation', which is the same as many people's views on the 'rich second generation', his 'second generation' is very standard, the only thing is that his parents are gone early, and he is the only one left to pit.

Five years ago, Kurd Matt and his wife divorced, and until now he has been single, his biggest hobbies are football and alcoholism, his child is only nine years old, and the department in charge of children's affairs thinks that Kurd-Matt is not a qualified father, and his child is placed in a nursery and has a special person to take care of him, and Kurd also pays high fees for this.

Over the course of a few years, Kurd-Matt squandered his family fortune, and now Millwall's stake has become his largest property.

"Perhaps he should have been glad that he hadn't sold Millwall's stake sooner, and that the asset had appreciated at least tenfold and would have squandered it for a few more years." The Times reviews were mean, but many fans were a little envious.

Kurdish Matt is a loser enough!

But the rapid appreciation of the Millwall club has earned back all his 'lost wealth', and there is still a lot of surplus.

"Kurdish Matt must be very happy that he has a lot of money to continue to squander."

The article says.

After analysing the form of Millwall's shares, The Times also affirmed that "the Saudis already control more than half of the shares of Millwall Club, and they have enough rights to manage the club." ”

After that, The Times dug up the news of the Saudis.

The so-called 'Saudi' who has been reported is a Saudi prince whose name is 'Abdullah bin Mossad bin Abdullah Al Shad', a complex Arabic name, which is really dazzling, and then simply referred to it as 'Prince Abdullah', the Saudi royal family has more than 5,000 princes, Abdullah is only one of them, but he is the nephew of the current king, and he can be regarded as the prince's 'blood' is relatively pure.

Prince Abdullah is only forty years old, he lives in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, he also has a house in London, and it is worth mentioning that three years ago he was the chairman of the most successful team in Saudi Arabia - Al Hilal.

In other words, Prince Abdullah is no stranger to football.

According to Forbes magazine, Prince Abdullah owns many mansions and a large paper company, the largest in the Middle East, and his personal fortune last year was worth $248 million.

The Times commented on Prince Abdullah's acquisition of Millwall, "Backed by the $10 trillion Saudi royal family and owning the largest paper mill in the Middle East, Prince Abdullah does not have any financial pressure." ”

The report of "The Times" has reassured many fans, at least the new Saudi owner is very rich, the club may get some investment in the future, and it will also make fans have a sense of expectation for the future, but there are still many fans who do not want to see the club being acquired, if it was placed two years ago, fans would like to see the club being acquired, but now Millwall is in a good situation, and it is possible to win the league championship this season, and some reasonable fans are also worried about the changes in the club's management, which will affect the team's results.

Regardless of who the acquirer is, the news of the acquisition will definitely be negative news during the season sprint.

After the "Times" revealed the news, many media also joined in to analyze the impact of the acquisition on Millwall, and most of the comments began to be 'worried' --

"He spent two seasons shaping Millwall into a championship team, and all of a sudden this happened!"

"That must have been a huge blow!"

"I don't know what Prince Abdullah thinks, but Zhang Yang may leave Millwall......"

'In two seasons, Millwall became a strong team. Glick and Grigory were smart enough to sell their shares, and all the directors were vested interests......"

"In terms of creating profits, Zhang Yang has proved himself, he doesn't have to worry about finding another job, and if he wants to come to many small clubs, he will want him to coach."

“……”

The constant reports from the outside world are a little dazzling.

Zhang Yang reminded the players not to care about what the media said, but the players still discussed it privately, and even several members of the coaching staff, Wise, Aldous, and Frederick, also continued to discuss related issues, and they were more enthusiastic than the players, it was not simple gossip, but personal interests.

Changes at the top of the club will hardly affect the players, but they may affect their work.

For example, a good player, like Darren Bent, with his performance, the club has changed rich owners, but he can't leave again because he is so good, the team needs a good striker.

The same goes for the other players.

Those who behave very averagely, even if they don't change their bosses, they will leave.

The coaches are a little different.

With a new owner, there may be changes in the coaching staff, such as bringing in some excellent coaches and eliminating coaches with average ability......
