In fact, things like Stretford are not big, but they are not small either. All of a sudden, the media was blaming Stretford.

Because the list of shareholders of the Stratford company leaked out. Take a look at the list above, Robson, Souness, Kevin. Keegan, Martin. O'Neill, Gregory, Allardyce, Peter. Reid is the current list of first-team managers in the Premier League. If they were just managers under the Stretford umbrella, then there wouldn't be such a big uproar.

Mainly because they all became shareholders in the Sretford company. Then there are many people who question it. What is the standard of commission for you managers to bring in players from Sretford? That commission is the income of the brokerage company, and zuihou is still the share of the money of you shareholders, isn't it a rebate in disguise. What exactly is the club's money spent.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing is very common in football. Everybody knows about it, even the club owners. They know that a large part of the money they spend on buying players, in addition to the transfer fees of the players, will go into the pockets of those agents, including these coaches. But it's an unspoken rule of football, and there's nothing even club owners can do. Like the original Tottenham Hotspur owner Shuge, who doesn't understand the market, he actually exposes this kind of thing. When he arrived in Zuihou, he could only be ostracized by the football world and leave the English football world in disgrace.

So the reaction within football is very simple, everyone can do what they have to do, because no one in the circle of Stretford knows about it. Just because insiders aren't interested doesn't mean the media isn't interested. The media is very interested right now. Suddenly caught such a big piece of news, how could they give up. Although Stretford is strong, he also has a good relationship with the media circle. But who cares who you are at this point?

The BBC even did a special feature on the transfers of the Stretford company over the years. Many of them are players from the Stratford agency that these coaches have bought. This kind of operation is the most typical conflict of interest, which FIFA will never allow, and the football of any country is expressly against it.

However, Stretford has been the boss for a long time, so he was furious in the face of the BBC's investigation, and the BBC reporter accused: "Fans don't care about the things behind the transfer." Fans are concerned about whether the players brought in by the club can help the team and bring benefits to the team. Most of the stars we've dealt with over the years have been good value for money and have helped the club a lot. If you're interviewing fans. They will tell you. What they care about. ”

But his anger did nothing to stop the English press from taking an interest in the matter. They all published their transfers over the years in the newspapers, and they were all studying whether there was anything interesting in them.

Of course, the BBC is the most interested. Stretford's fury made the BBC even happier. Because that's how there is a topic. They want Sretford to go even crazier.

For the BBC's step-by-step pressing. Stretford is really on fire. Therefore, he once again said: "We at Proactive Sports Management have a lot of shareholders, there may be coaches, there may be players, and this is all free. And our company is a very regular company. Those coaches are very professional coaches. When they bring in a player, it's because that player fits the coach's tactics, not for other reasons. ”

Stretford did have some headaches. Although these problems are not fatal to him, after all, this kind of thing is an open secret in the circle. He was just very angry because although these coaches were all major shareholders of Proactive Sports Management, it was impossible for ordinary fans to know about it. It is impossible for the average fan to know about the relationship between Proactive Sports Management and these coaches. Even if the England Business Administration Records were to be made public, it would not be easy to find the coaches who held shares in Proactive Sports Management. Only those professionals will be interested in him and will find these things in this way.

He knew that this time he must have been plotted. He doesn't know who he is plotting for, and the clubs, agents, and even coaches and players he has offended over the years in this industry are not one or two. Of course, the offended media is not one or two.

Over the years, he has been riddled with lawsuits, and various black and gold scandals have always been inseparable from him. It is because he has offended too many people that many people will immediately sue him or stab him to the media as long as they have the slightest handle and a little evidence. There are too many people who want him to die now.

Stretford has been a strong refusal to be investigated by the BBC, so why do you media care about this? Look at the people, the Football Association doesn't care. It is true that the English Football Association has not come out to interfere in this matter. But the fans are different.

Dr Clark, president of the All England Supporters' Association, came out to criticize Stretford: "The fans are very concerned about the operation of the club, and their love for the club is sincere, from the heart, without any distractions. Fans in England are loyal, they will only support one club for the rest of their lives, and even their ancestors have supported one club for generations. For England fans, the club they support is an important part of their lives, how can they not have any interest in running a club? They want those deals to be more thoughtful about the fans who support them, to operate in the best interests of the club, rather than being an avenue for some to pursue their own interests. ”

Fans, say they don't matter, no club dares to say that. But how important the fans are, in fact, many clubs are not fans is the same thing.

In the Premier League, the contribution of the fans is huge, just like Arsenal later. They earned less than £40 million a season when they were in Highbury, and by the time they moved into the Emirates Stadium, they had earned more than £100 million. The ticket revenue alone is 100 million pounds, and in the Bundesliga and La Liga, many small clubs do not earn 100 million pounds a year. Without the support of the fans, how could they have earned so much. Arsenal tickets are expensive, but Arsenal fans still support them. In the Premier League, as in Arsenal, their ticket revenues far exceed those of other leagues. Ticket revenue accounts for a very large share of the revenue of Premier League clubs.

But there are many strange presidents in the Premier League who don't take the opinions of fans seriously at all. It's like Newcastle's boss Shepard, who actually scolded Newcastle's female fans as "". There was a lot of opposition from the fans at the time, but what should Shepard do. After the fans finished scolding, they still watched the game. The fans contribute so much to the club's finances, but the club's top management doesn't care much about the opinions of the fans.

Therefore, many fans are very dissatisfied with Stretford, believing that he is undermining the interests of the club, and that he and the manager are partners to obtain illegal benefits. But such voices have at most given some impact to Stretford, and have not dealt a substantial blow. But the sounds were enough for Sretford to cope.

…………

"Shit."

Stretford, who was dizzy by the media during this time, dropped the wine glass in his hand directly after hearing about Middlesbrough's first transfer business. Because he was nakedly slapped in the face.

He and Middlesbrough are currently competing with everyone in English football knows it. I didn't expect that there were really people who didn't give face. Everton's Danish midfielder Graveson moved to Middlesbrough for £4 million. This made Stretford angry.

"Walter. Smith, the bastard. ”

Stretford really wanted to go straight to this bastard coach and dare to sell the player to Middlesbrough. But Stretford didn't act because Walter. Smith and David. Moyes is different. Although Moyes is a Scottish coach, he is a rookie coach. And Walter. Smith's qualifications are completely different, he is a famous Scottish coach and has a high reputation among Scottish coaches. And this person has a close friendship with Ferguson, Dalglish, Graham and other Scottish coaches. He even worked as a brief assistant to Ferguson at Manchester United. He doesn't have the strength to suppress such a manager, unless he offends a large number of Scottish coaches.

Actually, that's exactly what happened. David. Moyes and Ferguson have a good relationship, but he and Walter. Smith has a better relationship, and one could even say David. Moyes is Walter. A disciple of Smith. Hence Walter. Smith was very unhappy with Stretford's treatment of Middlesbrough, so he opened the door.

And although Everton is in decline, they are also a traditional powerhouse in England. Stretford have a good relationship with Liverpool, especially with Dalglish. Therefore, Everton was not interested in him in the first place, and they were willing to embarrass him this time.

"Everton, Everton."

Stretford is going mad right now. Looking back on the events of the past few days, he gradually understood. Rister made offers everywhere, but it was just a trick, but the real target was Everton's Gravison. After so long of hard siege, Zuihou turned out to be a failure, and Stretford's resentment towards Everton was very strong.

What will those agents in English football think now? What will those Premier League clubs think? What a boss needs is prestige, but every failure will bring great damage to his prestige. Maybe many people will see that Stretford is just a showcase, a paper tiger. At that time, it will have a big impact on Stretford. Maybe many clubs, coaches and players who used to be close to him will start to stay away from him. Stretford can't afford to lose.

"Everton, if you don't give face, don't blame me."

Stretford is a man who must be blamed. He sat down and thought slowly, a smile slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth. If Everton can do one, they can do fifteen. He immediately picked up the phone and called his players.

"Kevin, arrange for me to meet him." (To be continued......)
