Chapter 264: G14 is founded
After Dortmund took away a seat without a shock, there were only three places left to join the G14 league, and the eyes of the club owners sitting on the periphery looked at several giants and bosses at the round table became more and more hot.
Choose me, choose me! If you translate the gaze of these people, that's what it means.
The nominations of Ajax, Fiorentina and Borussia Dortmund were all successfully approved, giving these team owners the illusion that they could successfully join the G14 as long as they were nominated by these eight giants. They seem to have forgotten that becoming a member of the G14 league is not an easy task, as evidenced by the embarrassment of Liverpool owner David Morse, who nominated Nottingham Forest, also from the Premier League.
How brain-dead does this thing have to be to nominate Nottingham Forest? Zhuang Mingge thought helplessly in his heart, it is true that Nottingham Forest is brilliant in terms of historical results, and the two European Champions Cup titles can blind the eyes of many teams. But after a brief period of glory around 80 years ago, Nottingham Forest's results deteriorated, and it suffered relegation in the Premier League's first year.
Forget it, if the Forest team can learn from Fiorentina and make a comeback, there may be a glimmer of hope to enter the G14, but this is not the case now, the Forest team that returns to the Premier League is still half-dead and has no ambition, and even Stuart Pearce, who is known as the "Heart of the Oak Tree" in the team, intends to escape from the Forest team, how can Nottingham Forest be recognized by most giants?
If Nottingham Forest were to be included in the G14, the club's strategic alliance would be a joke.
So, in the infinite expectation of the owners of Nottingham Forest Club and the disdain or helplessness of the bosses of the giants, the voting officially began.
What happened to Nottingham Forest fully proved the saying "Wish is beautiful, but reality is cruel", and the final result of the vote was: Nottingham Forest's nomination received only two votes in favor, and the remaining six votes were all against! Needless to say, one of the two yes votes must have come from Liverpool, which nominated Forest, and the other vote came from Manchester United, which also belongs to the Premier League.
Such a disparity in the voting results not only made the Liverpool owner who nominated Nottingham Forest Morse embarrassed, but also made the poor Forest club owner experience the feeling of "ice and fire" in a very short time.
Next, Barcelona's president Nunez chose to nominate Arsenal, but due to the poor performance of the "Gunners" last season and a series of negative presses, Arsenal finally received four negative votes, which also completely wiped out the three votes in favor.
Seeing such a result, the old man Hillwood, who was full of confidence, sat motionless in his seat as if he was dead, as if he was struck by the result of this vote.
However, the sharp-eyed Zhuang Mingge saw Beckenbauer, who was sitting next to him, when he was voting, he glanced at several owners of other leagues, and he realized something.
It seems that the Premier League clubs have collapsed in the sand, and there is definitely a credit to Beckenbauer!
After Nottingham Forest and Arsenal were reduced to a cup on the coffee table, PSV Eindhoven made it to the G14 league, with the Dutch giants, nominated by Real Madrid boss Alex Sans, receiving a total of five votes in favour.
Next up to be nominated is Portugal's FC Porto, a Portuguese giant's less honourable than Benfica, who have won the trophy twice, but because it is much more recent than Benfica's Champions League (Porto won the Champions League once in 1987, while Benfica won two in a row in 1961 and 1962), the results are more convincing, plus their location in Portugal and the principle of "our comrades are all over the world". It can be said that Porto is indeed a good choice.
As a result, after PSV Eindhoven was shortlisted, Porto became the thirteenth member of the G14 alliance, although this pick does not seem auspicious, but in the face of the huge glory of joining the G14, the boss of Porto will naturally not be unwitting to express his dissatisfaction.
For zuihou a place to join the G14, the eight giants are extremely cautious, and finally these eight big bosses decided to choose a French team as the fourteenth lucky winner, after all, with the historical status and contribution of French football, no French club is really unreasonable. At the same time, the voting method has also changed to select two candidate teams, and the owners of the eight super giants each hold one vote to vote separately, and the one with the most votes is Zuihou One Lucky Person.
The winner of Zuihou is Monaco from the French League, and Paris Saint-Germain, which originally belonged to the same league as Monaco, also had a high voice, but because Zhuang Mingge gave Wenger a small "golden finger", Monaco's performance in the domestic arena in recent years has steadily surpassed the capital team, and its performance in the European arena is not inferior to this competitor, so in the final vote, Monaco beat Paris, and the French team with six votes was successfully elected.
After all 14 members were elected, the process began to speed up considerably, and the first decision was soon passed: in addition to the 14 full members who had already been elected, all other teams participating in the summit would automatically qualify as G14 alternate members, regardless of whether they were invited or not. These clubs include: Scottish teams Glasgow Rangers and Celtic, Germany's Hamburg and Stuttgart, France's Paris Saint-Germain, Spain's Deportivo La Coruna and Atletico Madrid, Portugal's Benfica, the Netherlands' Feyenoord and many more...... Of course, there are also several clubs in Serie A who have become alternates, such as Parma, who unfortunately failed to win the top league title, Sampdoria, who have been in the European arena in the past two years, and the uninvited Roma duo......
At the same time, based on the lively discussions and enthusiastic speeches of the members, the G14 alliance finally set up its headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and set up temporary offices in Milan, Manchester, Munich, Monaco, Madrid and Porto to coordinate the specific affairs between the member clubs.
The highest authority of the G14 is the General Assembly, the daily decision-making body is the Executive Committee, each of the 14 member clubs has an Executive Committee membership, and the daily operation and administration of the G14 are entrusted by the General Assembly to the energetic Ajax Club President Van Praag is fully responsible, which makes the latter obtain the status of the Executive Committee Executive Committee at the same time, will also serve as the Secretary General of the G14 Alliance.
In terms of future development, a very clear plan was also made at this meeting.
The number of members of the G14 will not be static, it will be more of a symbolic symbol, and in practice, the G14 will continue to expand the size of the group organization at the rate of adding one full member every year, and at the annual general meeting, all clubs that wish to join the G14 alliance will go through a trapezoidal vote to finally determine the new members of the year.
While establishing a strict access system, the G14 also provided for a brutal elimination mechanism, which was finally finalized after intense discussions - any club that does not qualify for the top league in their country, or for two consecutive years in Europe, will be forcibly kicked out of the G14 league.
So far, the first day of the G14 alliance meeting attended by all delegates has been successfully completed.
