After the completion of the acquisition, Levi was so poor that he only had 700 million pounds left, and he had to pay Jonathan Barnett's 500 million pounds as an intermediary fee. In this transfer and acquisition, Jonathan Barnett was credited to greatness.

For example, the public relations fees for Martin Broughton and others were all paid by Jonathan Barnett himself.There is also a wealth of inside information about Liverpool that can be bought with money.

Although the intermediary fee was high, Levi did not renege on the debt and paid Jonathan Barnett 500 million pounds.

This also reduced the funds in Levi's hands to 200 million pounds at once.

…………

It's just that compared to the money problem, the personnel problem makes Li Wei even more headache.

On Levi's first day in charge of Liverpool, Martin Broughton came to resign. He knew that a chairman like him who colluded with outsiders and sold the club was hard to please.

Even if it was because of the help of Martin Broughton that Levi bought Liverpool.

However, wouldn't Levi doubt that Martin Broughton can help Levi today, who knows if he will help others tomorrow?
Levi did not pretend to keep the other party, but as a thank you, he paid Martin Broughton a bonus of 200 million pounds.

After the reward was over, Li Wei was not in ordinary pain, and his current wallet and waistline had shrunk again.

After resigning, Martin Broughton said to Li Wei: "I know that you want to be the head coach of Liverpool, sir, but I hope you should resign from Rafa's position in Liverpool. It was only in the last three rounds that the champion was given up, and he almost overwhelmed Manchester United to win the club's first Premier League title in history. Even if it failed in the end, but Rafa can achieve such a result with such a lineup, it is enough for him The popularity among the players and the fans has soared. If you fire him at this time, it will only attract hatred from the players."

After Martin Broughton left.

The general manager of the club, Paslow, brought the captain of the team and the legendary Gerrard of Liverpool to the office to visit Levi.

After a regular conversation, Paslow was about to leave, and Gerrard mustered up the courage to say to Levi at this time: "Sir, although it is not very good for me to say this, I hope that the club will not perform surgery on the position of the head coach. "

Levi frowned and said, "Steven, although I have just entered Liverpool, I still know that the relationship between you and Rafa does not seem to be very good."

"Yes." Gerrard didn't hide his bad relationship with Benitez, but he said: "But Rafa has done a good job at Liverpool, and we don't want him to leave."

When Gerald said the word "we", he deliberately emphasized the sound of the word.

There is no doubt that by "we" he means the first-team players.

Although Liverpool under the coach of Benitez missed the Premier League championship in the 2008-2009 season, this cannot be said to be Benitez's fault. On the contrary, Benitez has done enough. Runner-up with the most points ever.The reason why he didn't win the championship can only be said that Manchester United this season is even more perverted than Liverpool, scoring a total of [-] points!

Whether it's the players or the fans, they didn't blame Benitez. On the contrary, they can be said to be under the coaching of Benitez and continue to sprint for the club's first Premier League championship next season.Players and fans are optimistic that next season they must have a better chance of winning the Premier League trophy.

…………

Before talking with Martin Broughton and Gerrard, Levi was indeed prepared to fire Benitez regardless of the negative impact, although firing Benitez would put more pressure on his funds.

In March 2009, Liverpool signed a new contract with Benitez. Benitez's annual salary has reached 3 million pounds. Once the Red Army breaches the contract, it will pay 450 million pounds in compensation.

(As an aside, the master also has true love for Liverpool. When he was fired by Liverpool, he only received a termination fee of 400 million pounds instead of the 2000 million pounds stipulated in the contract.)
And now Levi has to consider the rebound brought about by firing Benitez.

On July [-]st, the day when the transfer window opened, it was also the press conference where Levi made his first official appearance after taking over Liverpool.

This press conference successfully attracted the attention of more than [-] reporters and more than [-] media outlets.

In an interview with the media, Li Wei said: "Now the club is operating very well. I will not undergo major surgery, but will make some minor adjustments."

"Mr. Li Wei, it is said that you are going to be the head coach or assistant coach of the first team. Is there such a thing?"

"No! No! I will not meddle in the affairs of the first team. Now Rafa is doing very well. Last season, under his coaching Liverpool achieved the team's best results in the Premier League. I will not replace him as the main team. Coach, and in order to make Rafa feel more at ease in coaching, I will not be an assistant coach or other positions, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. I currently position myself as a club chairman or football director.”

Through the communication of the media, Benitez also felt relieved, and he called Levi for the first time.

It’s just that after the conversation, Li Wei couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder Gerrard hates Benitez, this guy’s emotional intelligence is really worrying, if he hadn’t been mentally prepared, he would have been pissed off by Benitez .

What I am more familiar with the first team than you, I will definitely bring the Premier League championship to the club, sir, you performed very well in Manchester City last season, and got fourth in the league (Benitez took second).

What's the matter?
Is this strongly implying that you, Levi, are not as strong as I am Benitez, and it is the right choice for you to give way to me.
