Volume 3 Chapter 107 Casting the Divine Body
The next day, not only Liverpool, but also the entire England and even European football and all those who followed Liverpool around the world were woken up by the news in red letters and bold headlines at the top of the morning, which caused a thousand waves with one stone.
The sales of this issue of the Echo newspaper have hit a record high, and at the same time have been reprinted by countless domestic and foreign news media, which is the most shocking news in the entire European football this season, except for the two superstars of Real Madrid to join and Mack Qin to win the Golden Ball.
Liverpool became famous for a while, and the FA, commentators, and celebrities from all walks of life have been interviewed by the media to say that some support it, some are not optimistic, and even the German emperor Beckenbauer also accepted an interview with "Kicker".
"I'm surprised, this is a big deal for the whole football world, there are many historical factors that can successfully implement the membership system in the five major leagues, and they generally change from membership to company, like Liverpool, very few, almost none"
"I can't predict the outcome, but it's enough to affect Liverpool, an old giant, whose structure is obviously largely based on our Bayern, which I think is a smart point for them, and at the moment Bayern are the best at what they can do in terms of maintaining a good competitiveness on the basis of a membership-based financial balance."
"The newspaper said that this plan was initiated by Mark, and more than a dozen Liverpool players and several fan teams have signed it, I don't know if it's true or not, because an 18-year-old player, although I know that he is very talented, breaking records and winning the Golden Ball, but being able to formulate this kind of plan, still makes me think, oh ......"
"I'm admiring him more and more, maybe he'll be more successful in football than me, he's coming here soon, I'll treat him to a drink and talk to him and see what genius is going on in his head."
"Although it is really difficult, the first problem they face is fundraising, which is only the first step, and then there will be complex problems of managing and operating the whole system, and in a few years, they will not be able to handle it, but I still wish them success, because this model gives me a heartfelt sense of intimacy."
Old Moors, who got up early in the morning, walked slowly to the study after breakfast, and the newspaper of the Echo newspaper had already been placed on the desk, he picked up his glasses, sat on the sofa and opened the newspaper, and began to read it carefully.
"To all Liverpool fans, about the details of the club's membership system reform", the big red and bold headline on the front page suddenly jumped into view, and there was a picture of yesterday's press conference next to it.

Old Murse finally read the content word by word, then took off his reading glasses and put them on the desk, pinched the corners of his eyebrows, it turned out that they had already planned.
After reading this report, he understood everything, the Mark that Parry reported to him before did not renew his contract, and there were several people who should have renewed their contracts in the summer and did not renew their contracts, he understood everything.
It turned out that they had been planning this thing, membership, membership, his fingers unconsciously banged on the table, if they could raise enough money, they would really be a good buyer, and he himself would leave a good reputation, after all, he was returning the club to the fans.
Maders Investment Bank, old Moores knows, it turns out to be a banker, it is not strange that he can have some relationship, but is he so rich? Didn't you go bankrupt in the financial crisis like me?
Of course, Madells didn't have that much money, in fact, he issued a financial investment product, and the money was paid by those rich people, the Flanagan Group, Tony's hair J.K. Rowling, etc., as well as the funds from Mack and their players, and they issued a product in a package, which was used exclusively for the acquisition of Liverpool loans.
It's only about 400 million if you get together, which is not easy, how many people ran for a few months to run down, so the rest has to be bargained and negotiated.
As for the renovation of the stadium, it is entirely the sponsor's money, of course, Mackqin's original idea was to sell the naming rights for a few years, and whether it will work or not will have to be successfully acquired.
Old Moores didn't expect it to be the plan proposed by Mackqin, what kind of character did Liverpool accept 6 years ago, is he here to subvert Liverpool?
However, with his current energy, he can't manage so much, but when they come to negotiate, Ma Qin's worth has to be counted.
How much is Mark Qin worth now, 100 million, 2 billion? The elder Moores didn't know that he was worth a lot of money anyway, and he was now an important asset for the club, and arguably one of the most valuable.
……
The crowd outside Melwood had affected their normal training, and tomorrow they were leaving for Munich, Germany, and Parry had no choice but to organize a press conference on the fly.
To be honest, now he and many club staff are confused, and the fans directly organize the acquisition? And it was also a joint leader of more than a dozen people in the team, and he met it for the first time in his life.
Ma Qin felt that many people looked at him strangely this morning, he had already been mentally prepared, such a big matter, they must digest it for a while.
"Mark, quick, call Gerard, you go to the press conference and deal with the media first, otherwise they will probably rush in, and you will find your own things to settle by yourself", Parry said depressedly.
When they arrived at the press briefing room, Mackin and Gerald felt that the eyes of the reporters were like hungry wolves, and they glowed green.
Sitting in his chair, Mack Qin spoke first: "Let's talk about it first, this kind of press conference is only once today, and in the future, the captain and I and all the players in the team will not answer questions about the club's acquisition in the media, you can go directly to the fan club if you have any questions about this."
Gerrard also nodded and said: "Yes, this is what all three captains have in common, because it will affect our daily training and game status"
"Mark, did you come up with the whole plan?" , the reporters are also simple and direct, straight to the point, and they have to go back to catch up with the manuscript.
"Yes"
"Why did you have this idea?"
"Because only Liverpool fans will really love Liverpool, and they can hold Liverpool, next", Makqin saw that this reporter still wanted to ask, and jumped over directly, there were too many people.
"Team Jie, is it true that more than a dozen people in your team have signed to support it?"
"Yes", said Gerald, "we knew about the whole plan from the beginning and fully supported it, which made me excited, yes, excited and couldn't sleep"
"Mark, the newspaper said that your father-in-law will lend more than 400 million to the fan club, where will your money come from?"
"Raised, low-interest loans, don't steal, don't rob, don't break the law, next"
"Mark, are you referring to Bayern's model, and what is the intention of the several strategic investments introduced?"
"It's borrowed from Bayern, they are a great membership club, which helps to preserve this heritage and culture of Liverpool, as for the strategic investment, in addition to fundraising, the bigger role is to participate in the operation of the Liverpool brand, which will be arranged in detail after the successful acquisition, the next one"
"Mark, are you sure that the dues and commercial income will be able to support a Premier League club in the future? Won't you worry about ruining Liverpool? ”
"No", Gerrard said first, "a lot of us have worked on the whole plan together, and we have hired professionals, Liverpool will only be better, we will be the real Liverpool"
"Mark, Team Jay, will you be involved in the management of the club?"
"No", the two of them shook their heads at the same time, "our main job is to play football, the fan association and the club will elect a new chairman and the person in charge in the future, or hire it externally, maybe we will consider the next one after we retire", Makqin continued.
"Now that the Fenway Group is also in contact with the club to buy, have you ever wondered what will happen if your acquisition fails?"
"No, Liverpool will definitely return to the hands of the Liverpudlians, he is not a tool for anyone and the group to make money, his glory is only born because of the Liverpool fans, if it must be extinguished one day, it will also be extinguished in the company of Liverpool fans", Makqin said categorically.
"Good", many local media applauded.
The chief reporter of the Echo newspaper wrote a press release in his notebook, which read: If they do succeed, Liverpool may have the next one, Bill Shankly......
