world number one assists

"You did a great job."

This sudden compliment made Lao Li slightly taken aback, then his brows were relaxed, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

A smile is light and calm, and it is not like when I was a teenager.

He no longer needs the approval of Old George, time has proved everything, he still waited for this understatement of praise.

Catherine looked at her husband, then at her husband, and smiled faintly.

Li Zhan then explained to the old George: "The old Glazer felt the pressure from the fans. He had conflicts with Ferguson. After Ferguson took over the England national team, the media was hyping this, which also gave the fans more hope. , Now that the empty-air activities are still going on, it is roughly estimated that the Glazer family has lost at least 800 million pounds, and of course he will eventually get compensation from us for this part of the loss."

Old George nodded slowly.

In order to prepare for the World Cup, the English Football Association is still the first league to start and end this year. The schedule has been compressed to the extreme. Except for the teams that have entered the semi-finals and finals of the European War, basically they will have a holiday very early.

Like Manchester United being out of the UEFA Champions League early, the loss of UEFA Champions League tickets and broadcast share itself is huge. The recent period of empty games has cost Glazer more than 800 million. If it continues in March and April, Glazer The family has to lose at least 3 million pounds on tickets, and he will settle the account.

The Champions League tickets, the Champions League broadcast share and this loss are bound to cause heartache to the Glazer family who have to pay huge interest every month.

How can you not get it back after suffering a loss?If they can successfully reach a deal with the Glazer family in the end, they will bear the loss in the end.

But if you can successfully buy Manchester United, it is worth it.

Old George pushed his glasses, looked at Lao Li, "Tell me about their plan?"

"They plan to list on the U.S. stock market and issue about 10% of the club's shares, or about 1660 million shares, to obtain funds to ease debt pressure. But because of our operations, even if Manchester United is re-listed in the U.S., the issue price will be lower than that of Manchester United. their psychological expectations."

When Lao Li said this, he laughed and said: "They want to use this method to continue cashing out, but American stockholders are not leeks, let him cut it whenever he wants."

Old George could understand these contents and nodded slightly.

Lao Li said: "They also proposed a plan to sell us 30% of the shares at one time. I have already rejected it. It does not make any sense for us to become the second shareholder. Moreover, their asking price is too high and too greedy."

"What do you want to do?" George Sr. asked the key point.

"I approached three different agencies at the same time, and the quotations were all lower than their psychological expectations—" Lao Li smiled at Old George.

How could Old George not understand, his glasses flashed, "Will they find out?"

"Whether we find it or not, among all the potential buyers, we offer the highest price and the most sincerity." Lao Li went on to say, "They want short-term high-yield bonds to be converted into long-term bonds, but It will also take some time to process, and I will try to prolong this time, at least until the next season's season tickets go on sale."

"If they want to stabilize people's hearts, they must repeatedly promise to the fans that Xia Chuang will give Ferguson more transfer fees. I think Ferguson will also have such a request. If they promise but fail to do so, the fans will be dissatisfied. This is a vicious circle. .”

Now the biggest worry for the Glazer family is the empty stadium, a large number of empty stadiums. After they expanded Old Trafford, the average attendance rate is now less than 65%. The attendance rate was not so low when Manchester United was relegated. kind of degree!

If the loss of the VIP stand is included, the calculation of this cost is enough to make the Glazer family feel bad.

They didn't expand Old Trafford to reduce attendance!They also spent money to expand the stadium!

But it's not the worst. What's worse is that the pre-sale of season tickets for next season will start next month. They originally planned to increase the cost of season tickets by about 50%.

If the price really rises and the fans don't buy it, it will inevitably affect the season ticket revenue, and it will also affect Manchester United's ticket revenue for the whole of next season. Even if the stock is issued, will any fans buy it?Can it be sold at a high price to others?

"Can it be done before the World Cup?" Old George said reluctantly: "If Manchester United overtake Chelsea in the end and win this year's league championship..."

Old George's rare tangled expression made Lao Centrifuge very happy——

Think about it, on one side is the club he has supported for decades, and on the other side is his grandson. Is this old man in a dilemma?

Since the old man is in a difficult situation, of course he is happy!

Although he was very happy, Lao Li still analyzed it, "Winning the league championship will not change our plan, unless the fans are satisfied with this, and they can buy and buy the season tickets with a huge increase. "

So it depends on whether the fans think Ferguson is awesome for winning the championship, his son is so handsome that he explodes, or they think it is the credit of the Glazers and can bear him to continue to be the chairman of Manchester United.

"I'll do it as soon as possible!" Lao Li said.

Of course he will solve this matter as quickly as possible. After all, Ferguson's red-nosed old man is very bad. He either puts his son on the bench or makes him the goalkeeper. Can't he hope that his son will be successful?

March 2006, 3 was Randall's birthday.

After Randall got up and turned on the phone, he found that he had received a lot of blessings, from Catherine, to Old George, and even Lao Li, who had been ignoring his birthday for a few years ago, sent him blessings.

Randall clicked his tongue in his heart, still a little satisfied in his heart.

Lao Li still holds a Chinese passport, and Randall knows what that means.Even if he chose England, he still hoped that Lao Li would be proud of him - no matter how bad he was, he had to behave himself and stop making him angry.

He made two big bowls of Changshou noodles with his own noodles, with his own stewed beef, a soup that had been hung earlier, ham and various mushrooms, and finally he fried two sun-dried eggs.

"Why do I only have one?" Rooney asked, pointing to his own.

That's right, the fat man came to eat again today.

Randall glanced at him and said slowly, "Does Craig agree with you to eat two?"

Rooney: "..."

It hurts my heart!

The meal is the worst!

Rooney's small expression made Randall chuckle. He raised the prepared camera and simply clicked and took two pictures, then picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start.

He deliberately picked up a fried egg and took a bite, squinting his eyes contentedly.

Rooney: "..."

Is the expression too exaggerated?That is an ordinary fried egg, and there is another one in my bowl!

Because of the fat man's resentful little face, Randall ate this breakfast very satisfyingly.When they came to Carrington, it became a joke for Rooney to see him——

They were stopped by many fans!The fans are all carrying gifts in their arms, and I know with their butts that these fans are all here to find Randall for birthday gifts!

Rooney held his heart that was repeatedly poked by Randall since this morning, and wanted to drive him down. Whoever's fans would send warmth, but I just kept quiet!

"Is it okay? Will he be scolded?" Randall asked. He saw the reporter squatting. Ferguson had given him a gag order, and he could not accept media interviews without permission.

"Just ignore it? If they wish you a happy birthday, you just say thank you. If they ask you anything else, you just smile and don't answer, just sign the fans."

Randall nodded, then got out of the car with two large paper bags in his arms.

Rooney immediately wailed: "My shredded chicken! My shredded beef!"

Randall Oh, is this yours?

This is obviously what Xiao Luo and I ate!What right does a fat person like you have to eat muscle-building snacks!

The snacks prepared by Randall include not only meat products, but also a lot of small biscuits, fruit candies and nougat of various flavors.These are the hot items in the locker room. There are always some silly dads asking him to go back to coax their babies. Randall himself likes to take them to the youth training academy to suck their babies.

If you want to tease Zai Zai, you can't be empty-handed.

Surrounded by fans' well wishes after Randall got out of the car --

"Happy birthday, Randy!"

"Promise us, stay at Manchester United, we love you!"

"We will definitely regain the league title this season!"

The fans were so enthusiastic that Randall was in a hurry and couldn't spare his hands to pick up the gifts. At this moment, Rooney stepped forward.

He accepted the gift resignedly, and had to play a black face, and said to the media who were filming and asking questions: "Sorry, we can't accept any interviews, and we won't answer any questions, thank you."

Randall successfully played the role of a perfect idol, thanking the fans while handing out gifts, and even the reporters won a few, which made Rooney feel heartbroken!

Even Colin was full of praise for the biscuits made by Randall, and even asked Randall to provide a few fat-reducing formulas-yes, she, like Rooney, can gain weight by drinking saliva.

The reporters weren't left for nothing, as Randall didn't answer their questions, but responded to the fans while signing autographs.

"Of course, I will stay at Manchester United."

"The title and the glory belong to Manchester United."

"I love you too, but don't stop the car next time, it's dangerous."

When Rooney heard this guy's promise, he wanted to give him a few rolls of eyes, and this guy was trying to flatter the old man again——

The old man just blew him up yesterday, and he is now expressing his position in front of the fans and the media, only saying "I am locked up with Manchester United for the rest of my life", what will the old man think?

Of course it is to pet him!

Such a flattering skill, an honest person like him can't learn QAQ~

But the fans couldn't be more content, with snacks in their pockets, autographs in hand, and Landauer's smile and promise, it couldn't have been a better day.

Randall also had a very satisfying day.

After the recovery training in the morning, the team prepared a birthday party for him.

There is a specific cake, there is a little gray curly man wearing a No. 16 jersey on the cake; there are gifts, whether it is a teammate or a staff member, and even Ronaldinho stuffed a small box into his hand.

There is even traffic——

The whole party was live-streamed, and Manchester United subscribed to the MUTV channel to share the moment.

This is definitely the treatment that only core players can have.

If there is any regret, it is that Van Nistelrooy did not attend.

Van Nistelrooy left early after the Carabao Cup final, which caused an uproar. After returning to the national team, the Dutch applied for a one-day postponement of returning to the team, but did not return immediately.
