Coventry is a members-only club.

In Europe, there are many membership-based clubs. For example, Barcelona, for example, Real Madrid.

What is a member is what is public. This model makes the club a public property – one that belongs to every fan.

In other words, Coventry is a club that belongs to the die-hard Coventry fans.

All the actions of the club are responsible to the tens of thousands of member "owners" - the fans.

At the beginning, Liu Yun said that he wanted to use private funds to help Coventry, but Eda rejected him.

Edda knew that those stubborn Coventry people would never accept any handouts.

If it's sponsored by a large company, it's different. For example, Adi teared.

Coventry's chest advertising sponsor last season was the local Bard Bank. Because the team had a poor record last season and was barely relegated from League One, Bard Bank's president Grandet directly canceled the sponsorship contract.

If you help Coventry pull Adi's chest advertising sponsorship contract, it is equivalent to doing Coventry a big favor.

A sponsorship contract is not a handout. Coventry people will definitely accept it.

Liu Yun asked Howell tentatively: "Mr. Howell, I have an idea. Are you interested in the chest ad in Coventry? ”

Howell was stunned: "Chest advertising? Adi has never signed an advertising contract with a European third-tier team. But given your influence, Coventry is sure to win more attention when you join Coventry... Well, I'll escalate the matter to the top of the company. But let's be honest, even if we do, there will be a limit to how much we can sponsor. ”

Liu Yun replied, "Thank you so much!" Coventry is a team with a deep heritage, and Adi's sponsorship is sure to be worth the money. ”

Howell on the other end of the phone thought: Profound heritage? In the UK, just pick a team in the third or fourth tier, maybe many years ago it was the hegemon of English football.

There are just too many teams with a lot of background.

But what Howell said just now was telling the truth. The joining of Liu Yun will definitely make Coventry win more attention.

Not to mention anything else, just Huaguo's huge fan base...

Howell was a top student at the University of Munich when he was a student. Of course, he had heard the famous quote of the Englishmen in the middle of the nineteenth century: if the hem of every Chinese shirt was an inch long, all the textile mills in England would have to be busy for thirty years.

Veteran lieutenant Liu Yun has hundreds of millions of fans in China. If one in every 10 fans sees the Adi logo on the Coventry chest advertisement, it can bring huge advertising revenue to Adi Da Rip.

Howell made the decision to recommend that the company's top management buy the Coventry chest advertisement.

I have to say that Howell can be the head of the marketing department of a multinational company of Adi's level, and he still has some vision.

Huaguo's Fa Lang Sports is even preparing to buy the TV rights for next season's League One because of Liu Yun. No media outlet in China has bought the rights to broadcast the third tier of England.

The senior management of Falang Sports has figured it out: with Liu Yun, there will be attention, and if there is attention, there will be traffic, and if there is traffic, there will be profits.

An old lieutenant who went to the English League is also an old lieutenant!

Needless to say, League One. In the early days of Liu Yun's fame, the Hua Bing League gained huge attention because of him.

Not to mention League One? Veteran football media know in their hearts that the level of competition in League One is definitely higher than that of the Chinese Super League.

The next day, Dardania drove Liu Yun back to Coventry.

In front of the Dardania car, there are two Buick business vehicles. The car was loaded with 10 professional bodyguards temporarily dispatched by Whitewater Security.

Dardania's previous fears were clearly unnecessary.

Liu Yun told the old fan yesterday that he was back in Coventry today. The pervasive media reporters immediately found out the news.

Liu Yun's old friend, Coventry Mayor Pine, directly asked the police department to send four police cars to wait for the old lieutenant at the intersection of Highway 3, which must be passed from Manchester to Coventry.

Pyne's doing so was not an abuse of power. You must know that Liu Yun is the hero of the city of Coventry and the pride of all Coventry people. In the eyes of Coventry, it would make sense to send even the entire Coventry police force to meet the city's hero, the old lieutenant.

Liu Yun's motorcade and the police car that opened the road entered the city of Coventry in a mighty way.

Bodyguard Dardania was surprised to find: Is Coventry celebrating Christmas early?

Twice the road was filled with Coventry people in blue jerseys. The store even advertised: a limited-time special for the return of the old lieutenant.

The lovely Coventry people on both sides of the road began to cheer.

Many people held up pictures of the old lieutenant lifting the FA Cup on behalf of Coventry.

Ignoring Dardania's obstruction, Liu Yun opened the window and waved to the fans outside the window.

The shouts of "old lieutenant, old lieutenant" came and went.

Finally, Liu Yun came to Mrs. Hudson's former home.

A large crowd was already waiting at the door to greet the old lieutenant.

Coventry manager Ada, Mayor Pine, Speaker Abagon of Coventry City Council, Sir Sherlock of the Coventry Textile Association, famous Coventry writer Pryushkin... Old friends have been waiting for the old lieutenant for a long time.

Liu Yun got out of the car, and Mayor Pine held Liu Yun's hand: "Old lieutenant, on behalf of 350,000 Coventry people, I welcome you home!" That's right, Coventry will always be your home! ”

Speaker Abagon didn't shake Liu Yun's hand - he directly gave Liu Yun a hug: "When I heard the news that you were going back to Coventry, I stayed up all night!" I have a hunch that the Sky Blues will be able to achieve amazing results this season! ”

The writer Pryushkin said: "Old lieutenant, I would like to be able to write you an autobiography. By the way, just now at your house, I noticed that your little daughter seemed to be quite interested in the notebook and pen I carried with me. I bet she'll be a writer when she grows up! ”

"Will Liu Kele be a writer when he grows up?" Liu Yun smiled dumbly.

Liu Yun entered Mrs. Hudson's former residence with everyone shouting and cheering.

Mrs. Hudson's portrait is still in the center of the living room.

The frame has been wiped clean by Isabella and Gloria.

After the group left, Liu Yun stroked the portrait of Mrs. Hudson and whispered to himself: "My English mother, your Chinese son is back." ”

At the beginning, Mrs. Hudson took care of herself as if she were her own son, and Liu Yun vividly remembers it.

Liu Xiaoyan called: "Dad, I just watched the news on SKY TV, are you back to Coventry today?" ”

Liu Yun replied, "Yes." You don't want to go back to Manchester this week off. I'll send Dardanha to Imperial College London to take you back to Coventry, our home. ”
