'It's a very special thing to have such a great team. We're not going to go the way of Manchester United, we're not going to pass on the debt to the club. We are all in the sports industry in the United States, we have enough experience in the sports industry, and we are confident that Liverpool will be the best team in the world. And we will strongly support the construction of the club's new stadium. In three years at most, we in Liverpool will have the most modern football stadium in England. ”

George. Gillette and Tom. When Hicks was interviewed by the media, he was ambitious. The two of them have a vision for Liverpool's future, saying that they will definitely build the best club in the world. But Rist looked at the newspaper on the plane and couldn't help but just throw it aside. If it weren't for the public, Lister would spat in front of a photo of the two of them. Rist came to Liverpool in a hurry, and just got off the plane and asked for a copy of Liverpool's local "Echo".

Looking at it, Rist laughed. Because at this time, Liverpool's "Echo" was basically a voice that supported the American boss. They all believe that under the current development situation of European football, Liverpool needs to invest if it wants to develop. The Morris family has contributed a lot to Liverpool, but now the Morris family has left England to avoid taxes.

David. It is difficult for Morris to hold up such a big club as Liverpool alone. Therefore, it is not a bad thing to find a richer and richer. When Roman Abramovich first took charge of Chelsea, big fans like Liverpool were constantly sarcastic about Chelsea. Say that they are toys for rubles, slaves for rubles.

But after a few years of Chelsea's strength. A lot of people in the Premier League have changed their minds. If you want to develop in the Premier League, you still need money. If an old giant like Liverpool doesn't want to decline, it can only take this path.

It is under this view that the media in Liverpool is optimistic and supportive of the arrival of the American billionaires. There's only one requirement, and that is not to be like the Glazers. After putting down the newspaper, Rist went straight to Benitez.

"Lister, didn't you say you'd be in Spain for a few days? How did you come so soon. ”

Benitez looked at Rist with some confusion. Rist had met with Benitez the other day, and at that time Rist had said that he would spend 10 days a week in Spain. I didn't expect it to be back again after only a few days.

"Can I not come back. David. Morris sold his shares. Do you know the truth? Liverpool's boss has changed. Here came two Americans. ”

Rist thought David. Morris is ambitious, and for the sake of Liverpool's getting better and better, he should not sell Liverpool. Didn't expect David. Morris still took this step.

But Lister is able to understand David. Morris's. David. Morris himself has a limited net worth and was previously able to run Liverpool. But after the beginning of the new century. Especially since Roman Abramovich came to the Premier League. His money was nothing. Tyrants like Abramovich and Alfahim. Throwing out £100 million casually in the transfer market without blinking an eye. What's even more angry is because of them, now the value of the players is getting higher and higher. Players that could have been bought for only a few million. Now you can't buy it without 10 million. Generally, players with a level of 10 million have become more than 20 million. David. Morris said that his net worth is not as high as that of Glazer, and he has not been able to keep up with the development of European football.

Glazer doesn't look like a big bastard, but his ability to operate in business is not David at all. Morris was able to compare. Under the operation of Glazer, Manchester United, which is already a commercial model in European football, has a higher and higher operating income. But David. Morris, as the old-fashioned club president, is much worse in this regard.

The income is not good, the net worth is not good, which leads to David. Morris runs Liverpool is getting worse. So far, Liverpool is completely inferior in the competition with Chelsea and Manchester United.

"I know. I heard that they are all sports tycoons in the United States, and they all have baseball teams and ice hockey teams under their hands. As long as you have money, it doesn't matter if he's American or where he's from. ”

Benitez nodded, unconcerned. In fact, it is not only some board members who support the American boss in the Liverpool team, but even Benitez and Gerrard are also supporting the American boss. They believe that if Liverpool can also have Chelsea's financial resources, then they will not be afraid of Chelsea.

"Rich? Fart. ”

Rist couldn't help but complain. George. Gillette and Tom. Hicks, these two bastards, fooling Liverpool's group of Brits, were really stunned. There are so many people on the board of Liverpool, how can they be deceived so easily by the two of them.

"The combined assets of the two of them are probably not as much as mine. What a rich man, no one has the strength of Glazer yet. ”

Benitez looked at Rist suspiciously, and then said uncertainly: "Rist, what you said is true?" But how did I hear that they were very rich, and they came to Liverpool for £470 million. They are also supporting the construction of our new stadium, which has been guaranteed to cost more than £30 million in the winter transfer window. ”

"Liar, do you know the truth? The two of them are fooling you, and most of the £470 million they claim is bank loans. They borrowed £300 million from the Royal Bank of Scotland, which would become Liverpool's debt. Liverpool will also be like Manchester United, but does Liverpool have the ability to go up to Manchester United? There is also a transfer fee of 30 million pounds, and they can put together 30 million pounds of their own pants as collateral for you. ”

"Rister, is this true?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you."

Rist sulked. finally put Benitez into Liverpool, and Liverpool's transfer to Rister in recent years will also be involved. In addition to many player transfers of Lister, there are many player transfers that have nothing to do with Lister, and Lister has negotiated on behalf of Liverpool. In recent years, half of Liverpool's player commissions have belonged to Lister.

Now suddenly two American crooks have come. This made Rist very dissatisfied. These two American crooks simply don't have any money, which means that there will be nothing for Liverpool transfers in the next year or two. And it is impossible for the two of them to stay well in Liverpool, and the two of them have started to fight within half a year in history. Benitez I's fame is likely to be wiped out by the two of them.

"But the media said that the two of them combined have a net worth of more than two billion euros."

"Raphael, let me tell you that. George. Gillette was indeed a little rich before, and at the peak he had a net worth of $500 million. But in the nineties he went bankrupt and owed more than $600 million to the bank. Later, I did meat processing and mixed up a little money. But his assets are not as good as David's. Morris. He simply didn't have the money to buy Liverpool, which brought in Hicks. But Hicks himself said that there were two billion euros, but in fact they were all false, even two billion dollars. To have a billion dollars is already burning high incense. And now the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is so serious. Their assets will shrink quickly. After this subprime mortgage crisis. The two of them were thankful that they were able to keep five or six billion dollars in assets. If they really had more than two billion euros in assets, they wouldn't have borrowed more than three hundred million pounds. ”

Benitez was dumbfounded. Now many in the Liverpool squad are pinning their hopes on the American rich. For example, Benitez is of course hoping for a higher transfer fee, while Liverpool players are of course hoping for more titles and higher salaries. It is a fake that the Liverpool players do not envy the Manchester City and Chelsea players.

Liverpool's highest salary is now Steven Gerrard, who is currently earning £100,000 a week. That's not a small story. But compared to Chelsea and Manchester City, it is a big difference. Also internationals. They are also very famous local players. John Terry and Frank Lampard were already earning £120,000 a week a year ago. And there is an upward trend. But Gerrard's salary is unlikely to rise anytime soon.

Therefore, everyone hopes that Liverpool will also have a financier. But Benitez didn't expect that they all thought that Liverpool finally had a financier, but it turned out to be just two rich people who appeared on the surface.

"New stadium? Liverpool's new stadium looks to be completely out of service. And the American plutocrats, they know what football. They invest in the Premier League just to make money. They will only look at the financial statements, where will they look at football. American tycoons are interested in the Premier League's three-year domestic broadcast contract of 2.7 billion pounds and more than 600 million pounds of overseas broadcast rights. ”

"How so?"

Benitez frowned. Benitez has been at Liverpool for five years, and after this season it will be six years. It's impossible to have no feelings for Liverpool. He also hoped that Rist would have a rich boss, but now it turned out to be this bear.

"Raphael, let's take a look. This time David was in too much of a hurry, and it was only a few days before he decided. How good Dubai International Capital is, it has to trade with Americans. ”

"I've heard that the board is willing to work with the Americans."

Among the Liverpool board members, David Brown. Morris controls more than fifty percent of the shares. And the remaining forty percent is controlled by others. None of them like Middle Eastern oil barons and prefer to work with Americans. In addition, the price of these two scammers is indeed higher than that of Dubai International Capital, so they immediately agreed to this transfer.

"Let's take a look. Raphael, since ancient times, there is a saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. George. Gillette and Tom. Hicks was a business partner, but he certainly wouldn't get along. You must not get involved in it, and if it gets too big, don't stay here. ”

Benitez and Liverpool have been on their honeymoon. But if these two Americans are tossed around in Liverpool, Rister can't let Benitez stay in Liverpool to clean up the mess.

"Leave?"

"It's not about leaving now. Don't worry, maybe the two of them aren't as bad as I say. You don't have to worry about that, it's still a no-brainer. ”

Rist appeased Benitez, but in his heart he had already eliminated Liverpool. These two bastards from the United States, even if they have a little spare money now, when the subprime mortgage crisis gets worse and worse, it is estimated that they will not even be able to take out 10 million. Benitez, a manager with three Champions League titles, why hang himself from a tree in Liverpool. (To be continued......)
