"This is the first game of the season at White Hart Lane, right? I hope this season we play a little bit like the team and don't play like last season. ”

Sitting in the box and looking at the full number of fans in the White Hart Lane stadium, Joe Lewis suddenly felt a little embarrassed. As the big boss of Tottenham, he has always had a dream - to sell the team...... It may be frustrating to say this, but as a capitalist rather than a pure fan, he thinks he has nothing to blame for this idea.

However, every time he arrived on the pitch and saw the fans in the stadium, he felt a little guilty. Last season, Tottenham had a poor season, finishing 11th in the league, but they did have the third highest attendance in the league, behind Arsenal and Manchester United. When he saw the enthusiasm of the fans, Lewis also felt that he was thinking about walking away too much – so he also made a decision in his mind.

Next season, it's better to watch the game less often, so that you can feel at ease.

'This season is different from last season, we have a new coach now, a European champion-level coach who can lead the team better.

"Ramos last season, you also said it was the European champion."

"Can the UEFA Cup be the same as the Champions League? You have to know the ...... of the road."

"Alright, I'm just pointing out your stupidity last season, do you think I really don't understand anything? I'm not that stupid yet. ”

Levy was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that Joe Lewis was not wrong - maybe Joe Lewis really didn't like Tottenham, but to think he didn't understand football was to underestimate him.

As the owner of ENIC, Joe Lewis has been involved in sports investment for a long time, and has invested a lot in the world of football for a long time. He doesn't just own a stake in Tottenham, he owns stakes in six of ENIC's clubs. Among them, he has a 75% stake in Tottenham, more than 95% of Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic and Vicenza in Italy, and more than 40% of AEK in Athens in Greece, while Basel in Switzerland and Glasgow Rangers in Scotland also have a partial stake in ENIC - Levy was the president of Glasgow Rangers before becoming the chairman of Tottenham and the president of the European region of ENIC, and he is very familiar with the background of his old friend.

He knew very well that this guy was not only not stupid, but also quite tough. Outside of these clubs, he and Manchester United's minority shareholders John Magnell, J. Murphy J. P. McManus is friends, as well as Celtic chairman Del Model Desmond and former Rangers chairman David Murray. He was even friends with Gee Ford, the president of the European Commission for Sport, who had supported ENIC in the ENIC-UEFA and UEFA case over 'clubs under the same company not to participate in the same cup competition', which helped them win and forced UEFA to admit that no more than 50% of the team could participate in the Champions League at the same time – and that Tottenham Hotspur lawyer was Louis DuPont – the most famous case of his life. It was the Boseman Act, which turned European football upside down.

has done so many earth-shaking things, and Levi also knows very well that it is impossible for him to hide it. And it is precisely because of the current situation of those teams that Tottenham, which is directly managed by Levy, is also a little embarrassing.

Levy understands Lewis' displeasure with Tottenham's current situation. Levy himself is a fan of Tottenham, and he would like to see Tottenham strong, but what he sees is that the six teams under ENIC, Rangers, Basel, and AEK Athens, all have European competitions and even the Champions League to play almost every year. In contrast, Tottenham, which has invested the most money and invested the most, has been forced to play in the Champions League every year, and it is not difficult to understand why Joe Lewis wants to withdraw his shares and leave.

When the return on investment is too low and the operation cycle is too long, as an investor, it is natural to want to withdraw shares. Tottenham have not been able to bring much benefit to Lewis, so it's no wonder that Lewis is always thinking about withdrawing.

Levy doesn't want him to take a stake – the richest local owner in the Premier League right now is Joe Lewis. With his position and the strength behind him, it will help Tottenham a lot, and it's not a good thing that he's gone. Although Levy knows very well that even if Lewis is withdrawn, his position as president of ENIC will not change, and the big deal is to change clubs to continue to be president, but as a die-hard fan of Tottenham, he is willing to stay at Tottenham.

'Trust me, Joe, Tottenham will be fine. We're still profitable, and we can be very rich. Levy said, "I've given you an analysis, how much has Sens earned in the past two years?" ”

Lewis didn't say anything, but he was really moved by the words. He doesn't really care if Li Bin can bring a few titles to Tottenham, but he is still very interested in how much money Li Bin can bring to Tottenham.

Sans has been investing in Parma for three years, and all he has paid is tens of millions of dollars to buy the club. But in the few years he invested, Parma won two Serie A championships and a Champions League - the Serie A championship only has a bonus of 7 million, which is not valuable, but a Champions League has an income of more than 45 million, plus the Champions League broadcast share, a championship can bring more than 100 million in income, and Sans has already earned a lot by virtue of this.

Outside of the championship, Li Bin stayed in a strong team in Parma - the word "strong", in the football world, also means "very valuable". This summer, Parma have been selling players, and the money they get for selling players has made all Europeans blush.

Milito 26 million, Mota 18 million, Yaya Toure 21 million, Cavani 15 million, Zabaleta 14 million...... Whoever sees this transaction is extremely red-eyed. Not to mention, the current value of Arshavin has been speculated to exceed 50 million.

Although this is not entirely the credit of Li Bin - Arshavin, who performed well in the Champions League, returned to the national team and played at a very high level. He took his Russian team, all the way through, almost with an incredible performance all the way forward, after killing Italy, Germany, Portugal and many other strong teams, and finally lost to the Dutch team under Van Basten in the final - although he did not win the championship after the final, but anyone who has watched the final can see that there are some political reasons why Russia will lose, Arshavin's strength has been recognized by the whole of Europe, and he is also considered the most likely person to win the Golden Ball- And such a person was bought by Li Bin at the beginning.

The money that Sans earned by relying on the championship and the players is enough for 300 million. Moreover, I heard that he recently wanted to sell the team and return to Real Madrid to run for election - Parma's market value has nearly doubled, which is another lot of money, and Sanz can return to Spain with a great reputation after reaching his best, and he can get political capital, and he has made a lot of money in the past three years.

"Good luck Spaniard." Joe Lewis muttered.

"He's lucky because he's got a good coach. Looking at Parma's rise in recent years, you can see what a good coach Li Bin is. Tottenham was very lucky to be able to get him, if he was ten years older and was not yellow at the same time, but a white race, as soon as he announced his resignation, the whole world would have stared at him, and it would not be Tottenham's turn at all. But now, he has come to White Hart Lane, and we have a lot of hope for the future. ”

"You always think well. That's why you gave him the transfer power in the summer? Daniel, you know, our total transfer volume is more than 100 million, such a large transaction volume, given to a coach, let him be arbitrary, I am not at ease, if we are cheated again like last year, we will lose a lot of money. ”

"A coach at this level will not do this kind of thing to make a fortune and run. With his fame, isn't he worthy of your trust? ”

Joe Lewis snorted coldly, did not speak, and seeing his appearance, Levy also opened his mouth again, "Joe, you still have to be a little more patient." Li Bin told me that our team has the possibility of becoming a giant - what is the concept of a giant? We bought a Spurs stake for 23p a share, and now Manchester United shares are £18 a share – you should know how big the difference is during this period, right? We can be that team! And, Lee also told me that our team, the Ballon d'Or level players right now, said that in the current team, we have people who are no less than Arshavin – you know what that means? Money, a lot of transfer fee income! ”

"I know, you don't have to say it, I understand these things."

Joe Lewis certainly knows how profitable it is, and that's the biggest reason why he's been reluctant to let go of Tottenham. In the past, he was always worried that Tottenham's potential would never be realized, but now, this coach, who is sitting on the sidelines and is not yet 40 years old, can really make his team's assets snowball?

With Parma's case, how could he not believe it?

Thinking of this, he didn't bother with Levi anymore - he couldn't convince Levi, let Levi do what he wanted.

'You're always saying that Premier League teams have more potential, but so far I haven't seen where the potential is. My investment would have yielded more if I had used it elsewhere. Daniel I trust you, you are a good trader, but you don't want to let your feelings for Tottenham affect your judgment - it also makes me wonder, you are obviously a Jew, why do Jews like sports? I'm English and I don't like football. ”

"Is this racism?" Levy gently warned, "Jews have played football before, although it was 80 years ago, but it can also show that Jews do not necessarily dislike sports. And, as I said, our team will make money, just look at it. ”

"I hope so. I invited Celtic to play with us this time, and you don't want to disappoint me. ”

"It's not that I won't let you down, it's that he won't let you down." Levy pointed to Li Bin on the court, "Look, he will make you satisfied!" ”
