Volume VII Chapter 1 Preparation
"Squeak......
In front of a luxurious suburban villa, Peter, whose hairline was getting more and more nervous, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and the door shaft immediately sounded a dry friction sound, although he usually hired a housekeeper to come over every half a month to clean it, and the yard and appearance were still neat, but the whole house still inevitably revealed the condition that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
"This door has to be repaired ......", Chen Zixuan, who is becoming more and more beautiful, revealing a mature charm, is carrying a delicate handbag in his left hand, and walks into the house while looking up, while frowning and saying.
"Mmmmmmmmmm......mm
The sunlight outside the window shines through several huge hanging windows in the living room on the first floor, as if the entire floor is covered with a layer of gold dust, and the huge ring-corner sofa on the left can entertain at least a dozen guests at the same time, the floor is warm marble, and the right side is surrounded by an open dining room, a washroom, a specially opened baby room, guest rooms and stairs.
Chen Zixuan first swept it roughly, then walked to the sofa, kitchen counter and furniture and touched it carefully, then nodded and said: "The cleaning is quite careful, look at the ...... of the baby room", said and walked towards the baby room again.
After Mackin held a farewell ceremony in Calderón and completely shook the entire football world, he took his wife and two children directly on a private jet "Gulfstream" to Hawaii for a vacation, leaving everything behind.
Speaking of which, this is the most thorough time off since he entered football, and there are no competitions this summer, and he has completely cleared the way for his return, which can be said to be relaxed.
He is already approaching the age of 25 and has fully entered the maturity period, and if he does not suffer major injuries, the next 4-5 years will be the peak of his physical, mental and ball skills, so although all teams know that it is impossible, almost all the giants in the world, especially the English team, have contacted Jonathan early to try to sign Makqin.
Manchester City offered him £500,000 a week, after tax.
Manchester United's Sandezi took it personally.
Arsene Wenger is not far behind.
Whoever gets Mackin is expected to dominate the Premier League in the future, this is the consensus, so even if there is little hope, they still haven't given up.
Because in the current Premier League, no star can compete with Mack, especially in terms of influence.
But in vain is in vain.
Although Mackin has not made any statement so far, almost all the people around him have moved, except for Peter, Jonathan is also in talks with Liverpool Sports Management, and at the same time, there are also representatives of Carlsberg and Flanagan Group, these four parties are the Big Four involved in his return.
Dalglish remains the honorary president of the Liverpool fan club, but Parry has stepped down as CEO of the sports company two years ago and is now headed by Peter Moore, the former chief operating officer of EA, a pure Liverpudlian.
"As a Liverpudlian, I'm excited about Liverpool right now and I can't wait to be ......a part of it," said Peter Moore when he came to apply, and he volunteered to quit his executive role at EA.
As soon as he came up, he made drastic reforms, which not only brought advanced financial accounting and sports management systems to the United States, but also brought Liverpool to a higher level in the most important business operation development.
Moreover, he has a lot of connections in Europe and the United States, and his arrival means a modern operation team, and it is from two years ago that Liverpool, which has repaid its debts every year, has begun to show signs of all-round recovery.
Not to mention Carlsberg, Liverpool's partner for decades, now Anfield still has to add the prefix "Carlsberg", although there is only one year left on his contract.
And the Flanagan Group, looking at the current Anfield, has formed a commercial area integrating tourism, commerce, leisure, catering, and bars, and you can know that they have invested in development here in recent years.
The reason why they are all full of confidence in the future of Liverpool and do not hesitate to invest, whether it is money or manpower, is because they have long known from different sources that Mackin will eventually return!
And the negotiations between the four parties are to discuss the distribution of benefits after Mackin returns, and as for the return itself, no one doubts that there is any problem.
After all, this is a transfer at the level of the "king of the ball", even if it is a free transfer!
At present, the media is on the news three times in the morning, noon and evening, and from time to time experts and Mackin's so-called friends come out to say conclusively, and the interests of all parties involved in the secret are even more unknown.
It can be said that from the peripheral media, journalists, and experts to the broadcast and commercial development of the Premier League, and all aspects of the details of specific teams, there will be huge benefits for his return.
"One yard to one yard", Jonathan said as he smoked his cigarette and shook his head to Carlsberg's representative, "the club will not support you to continue to renew the naming rights, and Mark will not support it, this is a traditional Liverpool issue......"
"That's right, Mark gave you the opportunity to cooperate in terms of image rights", Peter Moore immediately followed and emphasized that he must get this naming right back, "This is also the sincerity of the club"
Carlsberg wants to continue to take the naming rights of Anfield, Mackin needless to say that they will renew the contract, and he wants to terminate the contract early in the last year, even if the club and him make some other compensation, which was helpless at the beginning, and now it is absolutely not to talk about it.
Why mix it up, because Mackin is now one of the most indirectly owned minority shareholders in Liverpool, even more than Carlsberg, second only to the deep-pocketed Flanagan group.
Because of the huge influence he brings, as long as Liverpool does not want to destroy the salary structure, it must compensate Mackin in terms of image rights and other aspects, which is a business rule, and it is impossible to be confused that Mackin is Liverpool's "own family".
Previously, Dalglish had passed the voting agenda on behalf of the Liverpool fan club, giving Mackin a certain amount of compensation in terms of shares, so if Mackin wanted to now, he could immediately run for Liverpool chairmanship.
The Quartet talked for almost a week, and finally finalized the big aspects, and the rest was only the specific terms in terms of details, and the most anxious was Peter Moore, who was looking forward to this side to be finalized quickly, so that he could bargain with the Premier League company and other club owners, which also involved the number of broadcast sessions, sharing and many other matters.
"A business of over £1 billion or more!" The Times gave an early indication of the impact of Mack's return from the economic aspect, which naturally involved a huge amount in all aspects.
Not only for Liverpool, but also for other Premier League teams, the rising tide lifts all boats, and the extra attention that Mack brings can quickly reverse the situation of the Premier League being slightly suppressed by La Liga in the past two years, which is all money......
In the end, the Quartet agreed:
1. Mackin transferred to Liverpool on a free transfer during the summer transfer period, with a signing fee of 2 million (mainly for Jonathan) and a lifetime contract (this was specially instructed by Macklin).
2. Carlsberg voluntarily gave up the last year of the stadium naming rights contract, and renewed the 6-year global sponsorship brand contract with Liverpool at the original price, and at the same time obtained part of the right to use Macklin's portrait at a preferential price.
3. The Flanagan Group continues to obtain the qualification for the development of the surrounding area of Liverpool, and at the same time is appointed as the contractor of the new training ground by default, and also obtains part of the right to use part of Macklin's portrait at a preferential price.
4. Liverpool fans will sell 5% of the shares to Macklin's name, and the investment company held by his wife Isabella will hold the shares on behalf of him, and Liverpool will obtain part of Mackqin's portrait rights.
When the time came to the beginning of July, the headlines of Liverpool's official and major newspapers across Europe were published almost simultaneously:
Mark returns to Anfield after five years! "The Wanderer Returns Home! 》
"Oye......"
"Roaring ......"
"Fantastic......
Although it was morning, when the official news was announced, the entire city of Liverpool was jubilant, and there were countless "joys".
Welcome Home" banners were hung up in the streets and alleys almost instantly.
Although it is not yet known exactly when Mackin will return, this does not affect the enthusiasm of Liverpool fans to celebrate in advance, for them, this is the starting point of the team's take-off again!
……
Hawaiian seaside.
Isabella and Emin laughed and took Angel, who was already 7 years old, and their toddler twins, who were just 1 year old, to catch the sea on the beach, while Mackin himself was comfortably basking in the sun on a beach chair, holding a tablet in his hand and looking at the team situation that Liverpool staff had just sent over.
Sometimes delighted, sometimes frowned.
The trivial matters are handed over to Jonathan, what Mackin is most concerned about is Liverpool's current competitive state, as well as the team lineup, although some seeds were planted when he left, but not everything he can control, now that he is back, he naturally has to worry about finding his right-hand man in Liverpool.
Just like at Atletico Madrid.
"Hey, Reina was sold, Asenjo played a good game for a year and a half, I thought I was sitting firmly on the main team and ushering in the second spring, but I didn't expect to be injured again last season, and I had to buy a goalkeeper ......"
"Left-back Aurelio has retired, Sandro heard that the performance is not bad, but there is no serious substitute, Flanagan is a backfoot after all, the defense can be used, the attack is much worse, the right side has completely become Azpilicueta's world, Zhang Linpeng can occasionally play a dozen, if it weren't for his domestic background, it is estimated that Liverpool will not give him a chance......"
"Well...... centre-back Otamendi is gone? I didn't pay attention, I guess the combination of Skrtel and Ager didn't give him any chance in those two years, maybe it was for the money......", Mack Qin thought with the corners of his mouth tugging.
"Now Skrtel and Agel are older, Van Dijk can take over, but there is still a lack of a partner, Elmer is still almost, but it's not so urgent, those two old guys hold on for another year or two, it's not a big problem, as for Carragher, that old guy has already gone to be a commentator......"
On the contrary, it was the midfield that satisfied Mack Qin the most!
Gerrard, Lucas, Kante's iron triangle has flourished in the past two years, especially Kante, sure enough, gold will shine everywhere, he is the same age as Mackqin, and he has completely played the top three defenders in the Premier League in the past two years!
And Gerrard, although he is 35 years old, is still in good shape, and Bruno Soriano, who has been in Liverpool for almost 8 years on the bench, is getting older and more demonic, 30 years old, he is the main rotation of iron fighting, not to mention Lallana, who is at his peak, plus his own return, the last thing to move is the midfielder.
As for the forward line, it is completely unrecognizable, and only the veteran Kuyt is familiar with Makqin, Vucinic has declined greatly since Makqin left, and Spalletti has followed after he left.
Originally, a few years ago, Suarez was in charge, and a bunch of small Zhengtai followed, Son Xingmin, Sterling, Coutinho, Abby, since Suarez switched to Barcelona, Liverpool has completely become powerless.
In recent years, most of Liverpool's income from the sale of players has been used to pay off debts, although the progress of debt repayment is faster than expected, but they have not invested in the transfer market for several years, all of them are internal potential, or invest no more than 5 million to invest in some young players, Coutinho is an example.
But young people are young people after all, so Liverpool's current leading scorer is actually Kuyt......
"Tsk ......", Mack Qin pouted, no wonder Spalletti can't stay, this day of just selling people and not buying people is very bad, he can still win an FA Cup a few years ago, maintain in the fight for four, it's already very good, in the first half of last year, Liverpool was in poor shape, directly fell out of the top ten, Spalletti took the initiative to resign, and took over Brenders, who was familiar to Liverpool fans, acting as the head coach for half a season, why, because he was young, he asked for little money, and it is said that he is also good at digging young people.
However, the final results were not satisfactory, seventh after the season, and even the League Cup was squeezed out, if Mack Qin did not come back, Liverpool was ready to sign a formal contract with Rodgers, but he came back, so naturally he had to ask his opinion.
"Coach, ......", Mark Qin looked up at the dazzling sun, "Of course we have to change ......"
