Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Mike Ashley is about to take over St James' Park and he is very confident about this.

There are no competitors.

But he needs to plan carefully for what will happen after joining Newcastle United.

"Gentlemen, how about adding me?"

Mike Ashley stood in front of Shen Hao's card table with a bottle of beer in his hand.

It seems that he doesn't have the arrogance and airs of a rich man.

In fact, when he joined Newcastle United, in order to win the support of fans in the Northeast, he also focused on a down-to-earth personality.

He even plans to watch the game and cheer in the general stands with the fans to show his will to unite with the fans and the team.

Shen Hao stretched out his hand to indicate that the other party could sit down.

Mike Ashley took his seat with his chips.

A new round of poker begins.

The atmosphere has changed from a simple entertainment bureau to a business bureau.

Shen Hao did not ask, only listening to Mike Ashley laughing and saying while playing cards: "The L'Equipe has compiled a historical injury list of Leeds United players before, which caused a sensation. Not only can Leeds United make those experiences Players who were seriously injured and thought to have suffered a heavy blow in their sports careers have regained their fighting strength. At the same time, in the past two years, Leeds United has had the lowest total time of player injuries among the Premier League and Championship teams. There are rumors that Leeds United is magical, but it has not. I can find out exactly what the magic of Leeds United is."

Shen Hao actually didn't care what the outside world said.

Since you dare to do it, you are not afraid of being known.

Even if he were put on the operating table for dissection, it would be impossible for outsiders to find his system.

As for Leeds United's "abnormality", he believes that after a while, it will be normal for the world.

Because as time goes by, it becomes deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

After the novelty of people's surprise wears off, it's no longer a topic worth discussing.

Shen Hao smiled and said: "Come for Michael Owen?"

Mike Ashley nodded candidly, and then added: "Irving is a worry. With a weekly salary of 12 pounds, he only played 11 league games for the team last season. This season, he is considered to be a full-season player." All will be used to recuperate.

Even a wealthy team cannot afford such a loss, not to mention Newcastle United is not a wealthy team.

I believe Leeds United have the means to bring Owen back to health quickly.

But I prefer a long-term cooperation with Leeds United. I am willing to pay Leeds United 1000 million pounds a year, as long as Leeds United can share medical technology and ensure that Newcastle United players can ensure the long-term health of Leeds United players, as well as the long-term health of Leeds United players. He can recover quickly after suffering an injury without any sequelae. "

Chen Hao and Tang Jinyu looked at each other with serious eyes.

If the other party opens his mouth, it will cost him 1000 million pounds per year.

It can be said that this is equivalent to a super generous sponsorship.

Mike Ashley is still self-aware.

It is impossible for him to get the magic formula of Leeds United from Shen Hao.

So choose to settle for the next best thing.

Is it expensive to buy Leeds United’s medical services for £1000 million per year?

Speaking of Owen alone, it is certain that Newcastle United lost more than 1500 million pounds on him!

The highest salary in the team and the lowest attendance rate among the main lineup.

Count the cost of transfer fees.

The deal has been described by Fleet Street as "a waste of time".

The loss was enormous.

The main asset of the team is of course the players.

Healthy players have more value and potential.

If this can be ensured, Mike Ashley believes that the cost of 1000 million pounds a year is really not expensive.

How many teams will be forced to sign players because of injuries?

How much did each of those unplanned signings cost?

So what's the effect?

Shen Hao was not impressed by the offer of making 1000 million pounds a year for free.

"You can follow the example of Manchester United and Chelsea and poach our team doctors first."

Mike Ashley added chips and continued to watch the next round of turn cards. He looked at Shen Hao and smiled peacefully: "It cannot be said that Chelsea and Manchester United have been taken advantage of, but obviously business secrets are not easy to obtain. They don't care about the cost. , you can also think that Leeds United’s configuration that is different from traditional clubs is the magic, but I believe that they actually gained nothing.”

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Shen Hao became interested now.

Mike Ashley said meaningfully: "If they have the magical ability of Leeds United, why don't they target some outdated stars in the summer transfer market? That is simply a huge gain, and for their level, Having two more players is not a problem, and the cost is not high. They may be able to play a surprise role at critical moments, but neither Ferguson nor Mourinho did this. Obviously, the team doctor they poached from Leeds United did not give them enough confidence. .”

Shen Hao laughed.

Finger Mike Ashley.

"People who can become rich are really capable and hit the mark."

Mike Ashley was not satisfied and asked: "1000 million pounds a year, if you think it is too little, we can talk again."

Shen Hao shook his head and said: "I feel your sincerity, but I cannot satisfy you just because of your sincerity. My goal in building Leeds United is to become the top club standing at the pinnacle of European football in this era!"

So we are not a service provider. Providing services to other teams will affect our image. At the same time, the price you offer sounds high, but in reality?Newcastle United's lineup excludes top stars.

The per capita net worth is between 500 million and 1000 million pounds.

a year?

I only count 3-5 players injured.

Not to mention how much their quick recovery can contribute to Newcastle United.

How much damage will simply being injured for a longer period of time bring to a team?

Moreover, what if a player is seriously injured, which almost reduces his value?

So, a general £1000 million a year, I'm not interested in. "

Mike Ashley looked disappointed.

He actually understands this.

Unless he's looking cheap at Newcastle United.

The team has no particularly important player assets.

In that case, Newcastle United won't need special magical medical services.

If a player is no longer good, he should be replaced directly.

He won the hand, but he wasn't in a good mood.

When the next game started, he said to Shen Hao: "There are many clubs that will cooperate with each other. I hope to become friends with Leeds United. Even if we are in the Premier League together, there is no overlap in the competitive landscape. Newcastle United The next few years are about competing for the top four, and Leeds United are competing for the title.

Can Leeds United cooperate with Newcastle United in a context where the conflict of interest arising from the competitive relationship is not obvious? "

Shen Hao took his time and said, "I like to be straightforward. Just tell me the conditions."

Mike Ashley was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about the game and weighing his conditions.

"For 300 million pounds, Owen is on loan to Newcastle United to recuperate from his injury. Leeds United does not need to bear his salary. When he returns to the team next summer, I hope he can recover as before."

Shen Hao flatly rejected it.

"Three million pounds is too little, and it is only one-tenth of Owen's worth. It is no exaggeration to say that Owen was injured without confrontation in the World Cup. Even ordinary fans can see the problems exposed. His body is already fragile. Unbearable.

Do you want an Irving who has returned to his prime?

£300?

No one can give you a guarantee.

At the same time, I can also tell you responsibly that it is impossible for Irving to return to the top.

His peak was in the years after his debut.

Now, if he can stay healthy, he will still be a top forward, but Owen, who won the Golden Ball... will never be seen again. "

Ashley refused to give up and said: "But Rivaldo and Ronaldo..."

"Are they back at their peak? It's just because of what Leeds have achieved that people think they're back at their peak. Think about what their real peak performance was like?

Don't let the media lead you.

In fact, Leeds United has no balloon star to return to the top. Otherwise, I would have refused Roy Keane to join last year because we already had Simeone and Davies. "

There is no trace of falsehood in Shen Hao's words.

He can see the players' ability and potential.

Naturally, we know whether the players have returned to their peak.

The reason why Rivaldo cannot return to his peak is that his potential has declined as he ages.

It certainly no longer has the ceiling height it had at its peak.

Ronaldo still has a little hope, but there is no guarantee that he can go back.

Ashley frowned and looked embarrassed.

Shen Hao was not satisfied with 300 million pounds, which made him very embarrassed.

But Shen Hao was right about something.

As long as Irving is healthy, he will still be a top forward.

He gritted his teeth.

"£500."

Shen Hao smiled and replied: "800 million pounds."

Ashley smiled bitterly and said: "For 800 million pounds, we can buy a good player."

"But you still have to pay Irving's salary. If Irving is really allowed to lie in bed for a season, what do you think will happen to his strength after he recovers?"

Ashley was confused.

The reason why he came to Shen Hao was.

If you can buy Leeds United's medical services, this is the best.

But he was also prepared for the possibility that the negotiations would not come to an agreement.

Then there is the thorny problem of Irving.

Newcastle United couldn't bear to let go of such a local superstar.

Whether it's market appeal or ambition in the arena, they need Irving.

Fleet Street had criticized Owen for joining Newcastle United from Real Madrid for the money.

But on the other hand, Newcastle United now has Owen. After Shearer retires, which other superstar can they attract in contemporary football?

I'm afraid even a weekly salary of 12 pounds may not be able to impress any superstar.

So Newcastle United will definitely not let go of Irving.

"Six million pounds, no more."

Shen Hao smiled and added chips, but Ashley chose to discard this card.

"Okay, on January 1st, Owen will report to Leeds United. He will be on loan for half a season. In the summer, I will give you a healthy Owen. As for his strength, what I can guarantee is that when he is at Leeds United, I will not treat him differently. I will treat him equally in training and games."

"There has to be a clause that Owen cannot play against Newcastle United."

"No problem, but first, you have to buy Newcastle United before January 1."

"You can rest assured on this, I don't like wasting time."

"You're welcome to come and play cards anytime."

Mike Ashley left, having won several hundred pounds on poker.

But he reached an agreement with Shen Hao.

It will send Leeds United 600 million pounds and a recovering Owen.

The game is over.

Come outside the bar and have a cigarette before going home.

Tang Jinyu just came to his senses.

"Brother Hao, last season we sold the team doctor, but this season the style is a bit wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The best condition for others to rent out players is to get a free wage earner. We rented Owen out. Not only did we not pay wages, but Newcastle United also gave us 600 million pounds..."

Everyone around laughed.

Outrageous!

Unheard of.

Shen Hao blew out the smoke and said, "If you treat us as a hospital, wouldn't this be normal?"

Tang Jinyu nodded with deep understanding.

"Well, if every Premier League team sends their injured here to us in the future, then..."

People can't imagine.

Shen Hao smiled sarcastically.

"If it weren't for top stars, other clubs wouldn't spend so much money."

Shen Hao is actually as calm as water.

It's nothing more than an extra £600 million for the club.

And it’s not set in stone yet.

If Ashley doesn't buy Newcastle United in the end, tonight is just a joke.

...

While the national team battlefield is in full swing.

Fleet Street focused on reporting Shen Hao and Mike Ashley's meeting to play cards and chat.

There is a serious speculation that Ashley is seeking advice from Shen Hao on how to run and build a good club.

Looking to turn Newcastle United into the next Leeds United.

Some media also speculated that Ashley wanted to acquire Leeds United players and contacted Shen Hao in advance to negotiate the price.

Generally, when a club changes ownership, especially a club of a certain size, it will usually be accompanied by a replacement of the lineup.

Ashley's financial resources are not strong, but they still make the outside world think.

What if he has a fanatical football dream?

FIFA match day is over.

Leeds United players return to training.

In fact, there are not many international players in the team. Leeds United's main players like Rivaldo and Ronaldo have been abandoned by Dunga, and Jamie Redknapp and Davis also quit the national team after the World Cup.

Only players such as Ribery, Deisler, Candela, Kelly and Kompany will play for the national team.

Leeds United prepares seriously.

There is a big game coming up in the league.

Rose Derby!

Leeds United defeated Manchester United three times last season.

This is bound to make the outside world pay more attention to this season's Rose Derby.

As the former Premier League hegemon, Manchester United, of course they want revenge!

At the pre-match press conference, Shen Hao looked forward to the Premier League championship situation this season.

"Compared to last season when we competed with Chelsea until the last minute, Manchester United's recovery momentum this season is obviously more worthy of vigilance!"

Manchester United's performance began to decline after three consecutive wins at the beginning of the league.

Shen Hao said: "Manchester United is recovering, but they will go through twists and turns. I will not doubt Ferguson's ability to adjust the team. If we look at Manchester United today with yesterday's eyes, Leeds United will suffer a big loss!"

About Stam facing his old boss.

Shen Hao smiled and passed by.

He is not interested in the old history of Stam and Ferguson.

If Leeds United wants to become a giant, it must not rely on personal grudges to accumulate revenge.
