Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

It was only mid-May.

The final game of the Premier League is one week later than the final game of the British Championship regular season.

The negotiation between Tang Jinyu and Jack Peche went very smoothly.

Even though Jack Petchey regretted that the Elland Road stadium was bought back by Leeds United, he only earned 300 million pounds in one year.

But fortunately, he still holds Leeds United's debt.

When he signed the agreement with Tang Jinyu to complete the transaction, he said something to Tang Jinyu.

"I probably shouldn't have agreed to let you pay your debt without interest last summer."

Tang Jinyu was indifferent.

When Shen Hao took over Leeds United, the agreement reached with the creditors was to pay 1200 million pounds directly, and the remaining 7000 million pounds would be repaid over ten years.

At least the interest on the debt will not continue to increase.

Creditors were satisfied at the time.

Originally, this huge debt would probably never be recovered.

Someone taking over Leeds United is great news for them.

Just a year later, some creditors changed their minds.

Leeds United are on the rise.

They began to resent that not letting Leeds United pay interest was damaging their interests.

After Tang Jinyu completed the transaction, he went through the process with the city government.

Later, it was announced on the official website that Elland Road Stadium has returned to the name of Leeds United Club!

The local fans throughout Leeds are once again excited and carnival!

...

"Why didn't Ferguson call?"

Shen Hao was a little puzzled.

Before the end of the Championship play-offs, it is impossible for Leeds United to receive an equal share of the Premier League's broadcast share next season.

That's £1225 million.

Leeds United are bound to at least double their wage expenditure in the new season.

The doubling of your uncle's annual salary is not the main thing. The more important thing is that the cost for Leeds United to recruit will definitely be higher, and the wages given to the players will also increase accordingly.

Selling Lennon is imperative.

But there was no movement from Manchester United.

Shen Hao could not be delayed.

While dealing with the listed players.

While carrying out targeted recruitment.

The first is the goalkeeper position.

Sullivan's ability is enough to play in the Premier League, but he is only the most ordinary Premier League goalkeeper.

It would be better if there were better choices.

The position of goalkeeper is quite special.

Very few young players reach their peak right out of the gate.

It is more reliable that veterans who have experienced actual combat tests and have been famous for a long time.

Therefore, the scope of signings has been greatly reduced.

5 month 12 day.

There are still 3 days until the final game of the Premier League.

Leeds United have made an inquiry to Fulham.

Is veteran Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar for sale?

Van der Sar's performance at Fulham can only be described as average.

However, Shen Hao believes more in Van der Sar's ability, which is currently close to 170.

Fulham did not have particularly high expectations for Van der Sar, perhaps because he was not considered a goalkeeper in terms of his performance, so he replied to Leeds United: You make an offer first.

Leeds United dumped an offer of £100 million.

Awaiting a reply from Fulham.

The position of the goalkeeper is too special.

It's so special that it's impossible for the club to sell it.

If you want to sell it, it's probably not for the purpose of cashing out at a high price.

But no longer needed.

For Fulham, it is possible to train a new goalkeeper, the salary cost is lower, and the performance may not be much worse than Van der Sar.

The final game of the Premier League has not yet been played.

Fulham have conceded 37 goals in 60 league games.

Almost all goals were scored by Edwin van der Sar.

Such a performance...

Fulham really doesn't think it can be much worse to train a new goalkeeper.

Things have been a bit rough in Manchester lately.

It's frustrating to have a disappointing season.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been proposals to be acquired by American capital, causing panic.

Fans are protesting, and the club's top management has become alienated, as if they all have their own agenda.

When Ferguson was leading the team to prepare for the game, his assistant sent him a message: Leeds United made an offer for Edwin van der Sar!

Ferguson was thoughtful after hearing this.

"A veteran again? Why does the tyrant of Leeds United have a soft spot for veterans?"

But then he looked at Manchester United's goalkeeper.

Ferguson quickly looked away again.

Can not bear to look.

Last year, he sent away the butter player Barthez, and Tim Howard, who was brought in as a retaliatory signing a year and a half ago, has declined rapidly. Carroll, who has made amateur mistakes one after another this season, has started high and low.

Manchester United's pitfall at the goalkeeper position has been causing them to stumble one after another since Schmeichel left the team.

"How much does Leeds United offer?"

"£100."

Ferguson smiled.

"Call David Gill and offer Van der Sar £150 million."

Just one day later, Fulham originally planned to reply to Leeds United: the price of 100 million pounds was too low.

Do not refuse.

But bargain.

But Manchester United suddenly made an offer for Van der Sar, offering £150 million.

This makes Fulham wonder if the number of goals conceded in the Premier League is fake?

Fake!

Are 60 goals conceded an illusion?

Let’s put it this way, who has locked up the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season?

Chelsea's Petr Cech.

What data is he?

24 games without a clean sheet!

Chelsea only conceded 37 goals in 14 rounds.

Take a look at Van der Sar's data...it doesn't look like it at all!

Fulham are a bit dazed.

But things have changed.

So their reply to Leeds United became: Manchester United is offering 150 million pounds, do you think?

Obviously the difference of 50 pounds is not a small amount on the basis of 100 million pounds.

Shen Hao was furious after hearing the news.

He called Ferguson that night.

"Alex, what's going on now? You want Van der Sar?"

“It’s not just you who can spot good players.”

"The giant Manchester United wants a goalkeeper who concedes close to 2 goals per game in the Premier League?"

"Throw Cech to Fulham and he will still concede at least 40 goals!"

"Haha, we all understand the truth, so let's start a war."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Hao had already thought of Ferguson's intention.

For Manchester United, spending 150 million pounds to buy a goalkeeper will make trial and error, and the cost is zero!

Rich and powerful.

Not to mention the value of the main players of the first team, a starting price of 500 million pounds is absolute.

But Van der Sar now only needs 100 million pounds to make Fulham consider whether to sell.

It is conceivable that the final transaction price will not be too high, and it will double if it lasts.

200 pounds.

Leeds United quickly set a new price for Fulham.

175 million pounds!

The next day Manchester United submitted an offer of 200 million pounds.

Fulham Club has no longer considered whether Van der Sar will be sold wrongly.

But I hope that Leeds United and Manchester United, the mortal enemies... keep fighting, keep fighting, don't stop!

When Leeds United made their third offer to Fulham: £225 million!

Manchester United was silent.

...

Manchester earthquake!

Overnight, the Glazer family began acquiring Manchester United at the beginning of the year, and finally took control of 5% of Manchester United's shares in mid-May!

The club has nominally changed hands.

But in order to amend Manchester United's articles of association so that they can do whatever they want and truly become the private property of the Glazer family, they will continue to acquire shares in Manchester United.

All affairs at Manchester United were suspended on this day!

The final game of the Premier League is about to begin, but Manchester United has gone from the most profitable club in the world to the most indebted club in the world!

Glazer acquired nearly 57% of the shares at a cost of 8 million pounds!

Only a very small part of this £8 million comes from their own pockets.

Most of these were acquired through loans and mortgages.

And the asset they mortgaged was actually the Manchester United Club!

The capital in world football is confused.

What the hell!

Can you play like this?

Mortgage Manchester United to obtain financing, and then use the financing money to acquire Manchester United?

If you play like this.

Is it possible to mortgage Real Madrid for financing and then use the financing money to acquire Real Madrid?

Pure white-whoring!

Even Shen Hao was confused.

American capital will still play.

He also understands why Manchester United is silent now.

If they really want to spend a lot of money to recruit, the board of directors will not pay at all.

It has become unrealistic to expect Manchester United to take away Lennon.

But... Van der Sar?

Shen Hao thought Manchester United had withdrawn.

Unexpectedly, the reply given to him by Fulham made him almost vomit blood.

"We agreed to the offers from Manchester United and Leeds United. Van der Sar personally prefers to move to Manchester United. If you can convince him to join Leeds United, we have no problem."

Manchester United will no longer increase the fee, which disappoints Fulham.

Facing Manchester United's 200 million pounds, Leeds United offered 225 million pounds.

Fulham originally wanted to agree to Leeds United, but after learning the news, Van der Sar personally expressed that he wanted to go to Manchester United.

Fulham is not guilty of quarreling with players over a price difference of 25 pounds, and it would be embarrassing to spread the word.

So we agreed to the offers from both teams.

As for where Van der Sar likes to go, it doesn't matter.

Shen Hao called Van der Sar.

The conversation between the two was friendly.

Then Van der Sar handed him a good guy card.

Thank you Leeds United for your appreciation.

But he wants to go to Manchester United.

After Shen Hao hung up the phone, he sat on a chair and rubbed his face, his expression becoming gloomy and uncertain.

Finally calmed down the emotions in my heart.

There is currently no second choice for signings at the goalkeeper position.

He could only let it go temporarily.

The recruitment of central defenders is extremely difficult.

Shen Hao is very demanding.

If you can't come and fight, it's better not to buy people.

The reason is simple. Training players on the defensive line must come at the expense of record.

Do you want the record or the future?

Now he just wants the record, not the future.

And because the club doesn’t have much money available.

Excellent central defenders who have truly experienced the test often start with tens of millions of pounds.

Moreover, the Premier League’s labor certificate is also a threshold, blocking players without EU passports.

At present, the adjustments that central defender Shen Hao can think of are not only to allow Redondo to transform and retreat, but also to transform Kilgallon.

This full-back with a height of 188cm has made progress on the defensive side in terms of ability growth, and there are no too optimistic changes on the offensive side.

This is actually normal.

The full-back must first defend himself.

If defense is not good, how can we talk about offense?

What's more, his size also gives him a certain air defense advantage when playing as a central defender.

It's just that his potential makes it difficult to become a top central defender.

As for the right back position, Kelly will definitely have no problem playing in the Premier League.

If you want to find a better right back than him, Leeds United will have to bleed a lot.

That's obviously impractical.

So Shen Hao first looked to see if there was a suitable left back to liberate Kilgallon.

Really let him find it!

In January of this year, in order to compete for the Champions League berth, Bolton recruited good players from all over to strengthen its strength.

Leeds United was also targeted by them, wanting to take away one or two veterans to rush to the Premier League.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

But they had Vincent Candela on loan from Roma.

After the Premier League ends, Vincent Candela will return to free agency.

The left back, who will only be 32 years old at the end of the year, has been suppressed by Lizarazu in the French national team.

The strength is definitely outstanding.

He once won the best full-back award in Serie A twice.

Shen Hao learned his lesson.

Target players before the media gets a lot of press about their signings!

So he called Batistuta.

"Hi, boss, are you on vacation too? Do you want to come to Argentina?"

"Gabriel, please do me a favor."

"Ah? Just speak up and go through fire and water..."

"No, no, it's not that serious. I hope you can call your former teammates."

"My former teammate? Who?"

"Vincent Candela."

"Oh, him...but I'm not very familiar with him. I don't even have his phone number. You should know something about him. In Rome, he has always been with Totti."

Shen Hao was quite helpless when he heard this.

Rome's camps at that time were extremely divided.

A local gang headed by Wolf King Totti.

South American foreign aid is a family.

Except for competitions, there is no way to pee in a pot at other times.

It is said that even when Rome won the league championship, the team held two parties.

Capello had to play Totti's game, and then switched to Batty's second game.

"This is not a task, I just hope you can do your best. Moreover, he is no longer a Roma player."

"Oh? Really? Well, I'll call him now. Do you have his phone number?"

"Wait until the final game of the Premier League is over, and I will send you his phone number."

"Okay, I'll get back to you with the results."

As long as Shen Hao thinks that Ferguson invited Candela to join Manchester United four years ago, he will be a little afraid.

After all, Candela will be a free agent soon!

This is even more cost-effective for Manchester United.

Don't look at Manchester United being pressed on the pause button now.

But Shen Hao believes that the American boss will not be stupid enough to make things difficult or hinder Ferguson's team building on trivial matters.

Shen Hao once again set his sights on signings in the midfield.

Although their midfielders seem to be well-staffed.

But in fact, Shen Hao knows that to cope with multi-line operations, there must be more people in the midfield!

The recruiting ideas are still the same.

Come and fight!

If you want to achieve results, developing players must come second.

First set the stage with strong immediate combat power.

Training players can also be more efficient.

Otherwise, all the pressure will be put on a group of young players. Once the situation falls into a big headwind, they will not even have the ability to clean up the mess.

Shen Hao picked up the phone and called DeBoer again.

After the previous failure to introduce Van der Sar, Shen Hao wanted to give himself two big mouths.

He should have asked DeBoer to blow the whistle before making an offer.

"Frank, did you enjoy your vacation?"

"It's not bad to spend time with my family. Boss, tell me what you have to say."

"Okay, I hope you can help me call Edgar Davis and invite him to join Leeds United. You have been teammates for several years. I hope he can improve our midfield strength."

"It seems he is at Inter Milan now."

"Yes, but Roberto Mancini no longer trusts him. He has not played at San Siro for a long time and I believe Inter Milan will be willing to let him leave."

"Okay, I'll call him today. If he has the intention to join, you can discuss the details."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Hao suddenly felt that your uncle Tiantuan should be renamed the Pimp Tiantuan!

This group of old guys who have traveled all over European football can play a role not just on the court!
