578 doesn't stop
Rist is now immune. Things are one after another, and although they have little to do with Rist's now, they have a lot to do with Rist's future decisions.
Although some things exist in Lister's memory, they are only memories after all. There is always a gap between reality and memory, and Rist is not a god and can remember all kinds of things clearly. Something is going to happen, Rist knows. But when and in what form it happened, Lister can't remember it all. And Rist has not changed much for the economy of the world, but there are still a lot of changes to the order of European football. So now Rist himself can't be sure that something will happen, or something won't.
Now Lister needs to gather all kinds of information and understand various things in order to come up with his own decision. At present, Rist is also a pivotal figure in European football, and I dare not say that a sneeze can shake the world of football. But at the very least, any decision could affect the order of European football, and it would also affect Rist's development.
Therefore, Rist is very cautious and cautiously watching every step of the development of European football. Watch the changes in Real Madrid, the changes in Chelsea, the battle between UEFA and the G14 and more.
Real Madrid's change is waiting for Liester. Regardless of whether Florentino is going to purge Rist's players at Real Madrid, including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Joaquín. Or if he wants to bring in players who are currently hot in European football, he will not be able to bypass Rist. Therefore, Rist is currently sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and waiting for the contact between the two sides after Florentino becomes the president of Real Madrid.
And the question between UEFA and the G14. Rist was also a cold observer. Platini did play a combination of punches, and Chelsea, the biggest player outside the G14, turned down the G14's offer, creating a chain reaction. The candidates who have already been identified by the G14, Atletico Madrid, Bremen, Tottenham, Deportivo La Coruna, and Roma are all hesitant. Because they are also a little puzzled now, whether it is worth joining the G14. If a few years ago the G14 was the target of all the great European teams, now everyone is skeptical about the future of the G14. This is a huge blow to the prestige of the G14.
At this time, the rotating chairman of the G14 this time, Olas of Lyon, actually said in public that the G14 could also be disbanded under suitable conditions. This is a real bombshell, although the so-called rotating presidency does not decide everything. But Olas, as the current G14 chairman, said so, which means a lot. Many people are surprised, is this the attitude of the G14? In fact, it was just a signal that Lyon had fallen to Platini.
His statement caused an uproar within the G14. You, Aulas, are just a rotating chairman. What qualifications do you have to say that? To outsiders, this is exactly the official attitude of the G14. The blow to the current stormy G14 is very big. If it had been a few years ago, it would have been attacked by the bigwigs within the G14. But the original G14 boss, former Real Madrid chairman Florentino is opening a film with Calderón, where to use air traffic control G14 things. Within Real Madrid, they can't control themselves. The G14 thing can be put off for a while.
As for Milan and Juventus, they are deeply influenced by "Phonegate". Now they are all shrunken turtles. They don't want to dig deeper. If you dig deeper, will it be clean for the first ten years? Even the Italian Football Federation doesn't want things to be endless, and only Serie A will be affected. Of course, there is another reason that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is finally starting to land in Europe. The European economy is also clearly feeling the strength of this storm, and people like Berlusconi and the Agnelli family are concerned about how to deal with this crisis. Where there is the fate of a little G14.
And then there are a lot of G14 members. Including Barcelona and Liverpool, which should be powerful clubs, are silent, and it should be said that they are all inaction. In fact, they have already been in contact with UEFA, and they have not come forward to support UEFA directly, but inaction is the biggest support. As for the other clubs such as Valencia, Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen, they have not been left behind for a long time, and even whether their clubs can survive the crisis is a question, and who cares about how the G14 is.
It's weird. The G14, a giant organization that had been competing with FIFA and UEFA, was now in such a situation. No one has come out to criticize him for his public statement like Olas, which shows how loose the current G14 is.
But that's not what Rist is thinking about now. Although these things have a lot to do with Lister, they are not directly related. But what is happening now is directly related to Lister.
"These two bastards are not slow to die for Liverpool."
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless it is a male and a female. This sentence is really not blown, look at the people George. Gillette and Tom. Hicks has only been in Liverpool for half a year, and not even half a year. The two of them had already begun to crack. Although there hasn't been much fight in front of the media, the film has begun to open internally, and a live-action fight is almost coming.
The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States was worse than expected, and the two of them borrowed another 300 million pounds to buy Liverpool. When they came in, they said that they would continue to build new stadiums, but where did they have the money? Even if you have money, you won't invest in the construction of a new stadium.
That's when the problem comes in. The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is getting worse and worse. Gillette was already feeling the lack of funds. Gillette is under a lot of financial pressure, so he has contacted the Saudi prince and Dubai International Capital to sell his 50% share of Liverpool. But when he and Hicks first cooperated, there was an agreement. That is, if that part of the stake is to be sold, it must be notified to another person, and the first candidate for sale is the other party.
Gillette is in a bit of a hurry at the moment, but Hicks is not. Because compared to Gillette, Hicks has more money. He himself can still hold on, and he himself is a white wolf with empty gloves. Buying Liverpool didn't even think about running Liverpool. Instead, he is hoping to catch up on the fast track of the current rapid development of the Premier League. After holding it for a year or two, he sold Liverpool to other rich people at a high price.
Hicks had a good idea. A giant like Liverpool, as long as it is properly managed, can be sold to a Middle Eastern rich man in two or three years, that is, around 2010, or about 700 million pounds. It's not hard to make hundreds of millions of pounds in a single turn. Even if it is done well, it is possible to earn 200 million pounds. If the Glazers were to sell Manchester United, it would be a small amount to sell to the richest people in the billions, or even hundreds of millions of pounds.
It's a pity that Hicks was able to hold on, but Gillette couldn't. His little money is nothing in the Premier League. In the current England. The owners behind the football club are not one or two more than Gillette. Rather, it was ten, twenty, and so on.
Therefore Gillette wants to sell, Hicks does not. The two partners, who have cooperated in the acquisition of Liverpool for less than half a year, have begun to fight. Because whether it is the Saudi prince or the Dubai money, what they have is money. Either they will buy Liverpool outright or they won't invest at all. Let them just spend a huge amount of money. Became one of the shareholders of Liverpool. They won't do it. So the negotiations between Gillette and Middle Eastern capital are stuck there. As a result, his relationship with Hicks plummeted.
Fights are fought, but in order to gain more support within the club, Hicks began to woo Liverpool's decorated coach Rafael Benitez. He wants Benitez and his subordinate players to support him. And Gillette saw Hicks and began to woo Benitez. He began to make contact with some well-known coaches to replace Benitez.
That man was Klinsmann. Gillette is an outsider in European football and has no connections. He's an outsider, and he can't hide it from a coach. Soon the news reached Liverpool, and many players and fans were against Gillette.
Invisibly, Benitez was pushed to the front, and he was really shot while lying down. Liverpool's two new owners are a real eye-opener for Riester. There really is no stupidity, only more stupidity.
"Lister, now that they're messing with me, I don't even know what to do."
Benitez shook his head. He spent almost six years at Liverpool before David Murphy. Morris and Rick. Neither Perry will interfere with Benitez's work. They are all very traditional English club executives, and athletic is the job of the manager, even if they are the owners, they will not interfere. And David at the time. Morris owns more than 50 per cent of the Liverpool club's shares, and is completely at Liverpool. There is no such mess as it is now.
"Don't support, don't criticize."
"Huh?"
"I just don't take a stand. No matter how much the two of them make trouble, you should not express any opinions. Hicks wants you to support it, you don't want to support it. Gillette wants to replace you with Klinsmann, and you don't criticize. Anyway, you don't want to get involved in this kind of topic. ”
Rist couldn't help but curse the two fools. Gillette and Hicks are both empty glove white wolves looking to catch up with the Premier League's big developments. Then sell Liverpool and make some money from it.
It's a pity that only if Liverpool's results are good, they can sell for a good price. Just like Manchester United, don't look at the Glazer family who keep sucking blood from Manchester United Club. As was later counted, the Glazer family siphoned off more than a billion pounds of money from Manchester United in the course of a decade. But even so, Manchester United is still very valuable. The reason is that Manchester United have a good result.
The Glazer family, although they have some bastards, will not interfere with Ferguson's management of Manchester United. But now these two fools are making Liverpool obviously in civil unrest, and such clubs are still counting on high prices. They are also vampires from the United States, but the abilities of the two people are obviously not on the same level. The Glazers are constantly making money by relying on Manchester United, while Gillette and Hicks have not yet made money, and they have started infighting first, so it would be good not to lose.
"I understand."
Benitez nodded, a little helpless. Turmoil at the club's top management will always affect the club's results.
"It's the worst situation right now. Both of them own 50 percent of the shares, and what they do is a constraint on each other. It is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a year or two. ”
Rist sighed. Then he sneered: "These two bastards will definitely fall behind." But Raphael, if you continue to stay, you will only be carrying the black pot. ”
"Let's see."
Benitez has been reluctant to leave Liverpool. After all, he left a lot of memories to remember here, and Liverpool fans are also very supportive of him. Just like this time, Gillette wanted to replace Benitez with Klinsmann, which was criticized by Liverpool fans. But he also knew that Liverpool would definitely be in turmoil for a year or two now.
"I know what it means. Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you. ”
There are so many things that even Rist has a bit of a headache. If these things come one by one, Lister can solve them calmly. But the problem is now that all kinds of things have come one after another in the past six months, and even agent predators like Rist have a headache. I don't know what is the best thing to solve first. These bastards can't stop for a few days and let Rist digest it. (To be continued......)
