Chapter 303: The Butcher's Knife of the Madman Lee

May 21.

What happened in the square in front of the Great Hall in St. Gateshead was like a light comedy.

The unpreparedness left the media and football pundits who had not been optimistic about Lee's acquisition of Newcastle and gloated for the joke to see the joke with their glasses and jaws dislocated...... Rather than being ruthlessly resisted and ostracized, the madman Lee gained the support of the Newcastle people like the crowning of the emperor.

“…… Although he is not a pure British, we prefer to think of him as a Newcastle man, as the Mayor of Newcastle has just presented Mr. Rice Bucket with the Honorary Citizen Medal......"

In response to a reporter's question, Newcastle supporters' representative John Newton explained to the world why Newcastleers welcomed Crazy Lee:

"Everything is ideal for Newcastle people right now! Because, the chairman of the club is still Sir Hall, and Mr. Rice Bucket does not regard the team as his personal property because he has an absolute stake in Newcastle, and more importantly, he promises to resell his club shares to other Englishmen if Newcastle no longer needs him one day...... We believe him, when did the promise of the madman Lee not be kept? He never let down the fans who supported him and loved him...... Of course, the most important thing is that Newcastle simply can't do without the invincible madman Lee! ”

Prestige plus means!

That's why Maniac Lee managed to take control of the club with the largest number of fans in the UK.

What the British Isles media did not expect was that more than 100,000 Newcastle citizens attended an informal celebration banquet to celebrate the team's fifth place in the league, which is a somewhat frightening figure even more than the scale of the Red Devils Manchester United holding in Manchester Harbour to celebrate the success of the league title.

Moreover, under the prior work of the cunning and sullen man, the broadcast rights of this celebration banquet were actually auctioned at a sky-high price of 1 million pounds, and finally the British national television represented by the famous "British Annihilation" Sester won the broadcast rights.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!

1 million pounds is enough for Lao Li to pick five or six unnamed demons with super high potential from the FM2008 scouting tools to buy "training". After a few years, when the little ones are mature and sold, hehe, it will become tens and hundreds of times more than 1 million.

…… After the celebration banquet, the team began to take a big vacation.

But for Li Tongfan, this holiday is destined to be an extremely busy summer.

Because the curtain of Euro 2008 will open half a month later, Lao Li will change his focus and lead LinkedIn Gran to the upcoming European Championship as the coach of the Three Lions.

There is still a long way to go!

Until then, however, Newcastle's summer recruitment and purge work must also be accelerated.

Maybe after the European Cup, many young players who are favored by Lao Li will skyrocket in value because of their wonderful performance in the European Cup, once other giants realize the true value of these little guys, then Newcastle will not have the slightest advantage in the competition.

So in the following week, the Newcastle transfer department accelerated the pace of work at the request of Lao Li, and the player transfer notices published on the official website of Newcastle FC were one after another - at 9:00 am on May 23, Newcastle's main defender Joey Barton finally returned to his old club Manchester City for 19 million pounds.

This 10-million-dollar deal has fired a powerful first shot for the Premier League's summer transfers.

The red-carded professional had just joined the Magpies from Manchester City for £11 million a season, and less than 12 months later, the Magpies had not only qualified for the UEFA Cup thanks to Joey Barton's brilliant performances, but also received a transfer difference of £8 million.

Of course, for the time being, it looks like neither are Manchester City.

Because the bad boy's success in freezing the 07-08 European Golden Boot Cristiano Ronaldo and the Red Army's soul Steven Gerrard in the afternoon at Old Trafford and Anfield have put him in the ranks of Europe's best midfielders, and ...... Manchester City is not bad for money now!

May 24 at 12:00 p.m.

The Magpies' talented Turkish attacking midfielder Emre also bid farewell to St James' Park.

Emre was the most imaginative and creative player up front for Newcastle despite his excellent performance against Tottenham Hotspur in his opening game against Tottenham Hotspur, but his frequent injuries and poor fitness forced Lee to give up on the Turks. The midfield talent, who has been hailed by European football as Turkey's most talented midfielder of the 20th century, returned to his parent club Galatasaray for £6 million after a seven-year European tour with Inter Milan and Newcastle.

May 26 at 9:00 a.m.

The fourth player to leave the song after James Milner, Joey Barton and Emre is 32-year-old Australian rhinoceros Mark Viduka. The powerhoused centre-forward, who joined Newcastle on a free transfer from Middlesbrough last season, opted to join Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb, bringing Lee Tong-fan a £3 million transfer fee.

May 26 at 18:00 p.m.

The 22-year-old South African striker from Newcastle's academy joined Championship side Wolves for £1 million.

May 27 at 9:00 a.m.

The 1.91-meter-tall 26-year-old high school striker Sora Ameobi has switched to Scottish Super League giants Rangers for £8 million.

May 29 at 11:00 a.m.

The 32-year-old Spanish midfielder Sergio moved to La Liga Espanyol for £3 million. This is the only loss-making deal Lee has made so far, as Sergio arrived at St James' Park for £9 million before the start of the season!

Of course, not every purge was carried out according to Lao Li's wishes, Senegalese central defender A-Faye was unattended, and 25-year-old Argentine defender Pirano and 30-year-old Nigerian left-back Barbaroa also became rotten goods.

…… Within a week after the madman Lee became the majority shareholder of Newcastle, he immediately raised a bloody "butcher's knife"!

Within five days, the Magpies had seven main or semi-main players leave St James' Park, although the departure of these players brought a total of £47 million to Newcastle before and after the departure of these players, but considering that the team will play in the League Cup next season, there is no news of other signings other than purges, fans are still a little worried.

And some strange and harsh arguments have also broken out in the news media.

Some "bricks call beasts" can't wait to jump out and point out that the madman Li did not consider the interests of the Magpies at all, but was using Newcastle to circle money, and even maliciously speculated that Li Tongfan was on the verge of bankruptcy after buying the Magpies, and in order to pay the huge bank loan of 30 million pounds that the Newcastle club will expire this summer, selling the main players to cash out has become the only way out for this Chinese "poor man".

In the end, the brick family called the beasts to pretend to be compassionate and solemnly warned:

"Newcastle fans, wake up! If you continue to let the [butcher] madman Lee uncontrollably sell James Milner, Joey Barton and other key players who have contributed to Newcastle's top-five finish this season, not to mention the League Cup, even if Newcastle want to make a difference in the Premier League next season, it will be tantamount to talking about people's dreams......

"The rookie major shareholder made a stupid move, and the ten-game winning streak at the end of the season fell apart"

"Newcastle drove out the mediocre Ashley, but the madman Lee is not the real savior"

"Crazy Lee makes Newcastle, the dark horse in the second half, an empty shell in vain"

"The Hero of the Ruthless Purge of the Madman Lee"

"The madman Li butcher's knife is raised high, who will be next?" 》

"After blindly buying the Magpies, he fell into bankruptcy, and the madman Lee had to sell players to cash out"

…… Under the frenzy of public opinion, many Newcastle fans who were originally optimistic about Li Tongfan's acquisition of the Magpies also couldn't help but express their concerns to the club in various ways. Fans hope that the new club management will manage the team in a more prudent and rational way, rather than selling players to solve the financial crisis, as is the case now.

In the face of accusations from fans and a certain media, Newcastle FC only assured fans through its official website that everything that the current head coach Li Tongfan did was for the sake of the team, and asked the citizens to be patient enough, and there will be a turnaround soon...... Unfortunately, in every respect, this statement of assurance looks like an unconvincing pale quibble!

“…… Shameless quibble, turnaround? It's just an excuse and excuse to deceive the fans! Even Spain's El Monde Sport newspaper went out of its way to condemn it, but ...... The next series of news announced on the official website of Newcastle Club made all the blame disappear in an instant like the snow left on the ridges of the fields in March, and the entire European football world was shocked!

…… It's only one day!

Within a day, Crazy Lee had found replacements for seven Newcastle players who had been sold off at St James' Park. Although superstar players such as Ronaldo and Crespo have passed away, they are still heavyweight players that Newcastle never dared to think of before, and they are actually ...... Really coming to St James' Park?

…… Inside a house in Newcastle!

When John Newton, a young bus driver, knelt on the washboard in the living room and saw this series of news on television, he was completely ignorant of the murderous gaze of his new wife, Nelly, and jumped up, kicked off the washboard and twisted his ass frantically.

After three or four seconds, Newton suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out of the house: "Honey, I'm going to tell the fat man David the news, and I'm not coming back for dinner at noon today...... Neli: "......"
