Chapter 118: Change of Hands
The 2004-2005 Premier League season finally came to an end, and Chelsea made history by winning their first Premier League title without any suspense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this also made Mourinho's reputation soar again and became a world-class coach. Other traditional Premier League giants have also entered the Champions League next season, but the desire for the Premier League title will also indicate that next season's Premier League will be more intense and brutal.
Chen Zhun was sitting in the office at this time, and it was rare that he didn't think about tactics, players, or leagues. Instead, it was a complete relaxation, and the intensity of the work after a season made his body very uncomfortable, but although the league was over, the finishing work had just begun. A series of set-ups for next season start today. Goals, recruitment, team building, hardware improvement. But now everything is at a standstill because of the club's change of ownership.
The change of ownership has come out of the shadows before, and now it is known to everyone that it is going on in the sun, but because Manchester United was also acquired, the news of Southampton's club being bought seems to be a small thing, and not many journalists will pay attention to it. But it also made the new owner quite happy. Because he didn't want to expose himself under fluorescent lights.
The players have already taken their own vacations and started their holiday life, but the sad head coach Chen Zhun still has to work for a while. Press Officer Yang Sen revealed to Chen Zhun the inside scoop on the change of ownership. The change of the club's owner has been reported, and it is estimated that it will be officially announced on the official website in a few days, and it is not surprising that the new owner of the Southampton club is the legendary big consortium from China.
Chen Zhun never saw Chairman Rupert Lowe again, and heard Yang Sen say that the new boss informed him that he could not go to work anymore, after all, he was old.
This ending is really embarrassing. But this is probably the best place for Rupert Rowe.
Chen Zhun imagined that he would meet with those familiar people, relaxed? Embarrassed? Chen Zhun smiled and shook his head, the relationship between the boss and his subordinates could not return to the previous picture of drinking. It's just that Chen Zhun doesn't know that the real boss is his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend yet, and sometimes fate likes to make such jokes with you, and then quietly watch you look embarrassed at a loss.
Time passed slowly, slowly, slowly for two days. Chen Zhun went to work and got off work as usual in the past two days, just lamenting how time could pass so slowly and so boring, he even wanted to hurry up next season's journey directly.
On the third day of boredom, Chen Zhun had just arrived at the club and found that everyone was busy, and in the strange crowd he found Janssen, who told him that the club had officially changed hands, and the owner Yue from China had officially become the owner of the new Southampton club.
Yang Sen's answer surprised Chen Zhun, and then asked Yang Sen several times before he slowly accepted this fact. It turned out that he had always mistakenly thought that Lin Seshu was the new owner of Southampton Club, but who knew that the real boss was Yue Soul. This is the person I don't want to see the most. This is a great irony.
Chen Zhun felt dizzy and walked into his office in a daze, but after only resting for a while, Yang Sen came to his office again. Chen Zhun was told to attend a press conference, which was the first time that the new boss appeared in the public eye.
Chen Zhun followed Janssen to the press room at St. Mary's Stadium. Chen Zhun also saw the familiar but unfamiliar Lin Seshu and Yue Soul. Friends who used to drink and chat together, but today it has become a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, and I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Yue Soul and Lin Seshu also saw Chen Zhun coming from the gate, and nodded to him with a smile, and Chen Zhun also nodded in response. Then he walked over to the next place to the book and sat down.
Lin Seshu turned his head sideways and whispered to Chen Zhun: "I was really embarrassed to hide it from you for a long time, but now that it has finally been announced, our guilt is much smaller." ”
Chen Zhun said: "No, no, I understand, and I hope to cooperate well in the future, Boss Lin!" ”
"I'm not the boss, I'm also the one who works for the boss, the real boss is this one!" Lin Seshu said and pointed to the now high-spirited Yue Soul next to him.
"Then we're allies on the same front, aren't we?" Chen Zhun said humorously.
"Sort of!" Lin Sershu replied equally wittily.
Chen Zhun learned that in this acquisition process, the joint consortium of Yue Soul and Lin Seshu invested 80 million pounds to acquire Southampton Club. The two held a total of 80% of the Southampton Club's shares, making them the largest shareholders of the Southampton Club. Among them, Yue Soul accounted for 45 percent, and Lin Seshu accounted for 35 percent. The other shareholders are minority shareholders. So far, Southampton Club has truly become the first club acquired by Chinese capitalists overseas.
The news also shocked the domestic football world and attracted the attention of all parties, and even the largest domestic TV station and media sent reporters to interview and broadcast the press conference live. The news also made hundreds of millions of fans in China excited, because he seemed to see Chinese players staying in the Premier League again and continuing to expand the confidence and prospects of the team. A club with a strong Chinese flavor can't seem to say anything if it doesn't bring in some local Chinese players.
The press conference officially began, and Yang Sen first introduced the process of the acquisition, and then praised a new wave of bosses, Yue Soul and Lin Seshu. After Janssen finished speaking, Yue Soul began his first speech at the Southampton Club.
"Hello friends from the UK media, I am delighted to have acquired Southampton, a club with a long history and a strong fan base. I am very optimistic about the development prospects of the club and I will contribute to the glory of the club. You will think that the acquisition of Southampton FC is nothing more than an expansion of my capital, and you will also question whether a Chinese company can really manage it well and how much capital strength it has to run a Premier League club. I can assure you here. I'm going to run Southampton FC well, not the capital expansion you say. Also, your other question is the question of where the current head coach David Winston will go. I would like to state here that Manager David Winston is not going back, he is a good manager and he will continue to stay here and make Southampton great! (To be continued.) )
