Chapter 247 Invitation of the Football Federation

In fact, the news about Newcastle's insolvency began to appear in the newspapers since the beginning of 2006. Although club president Freddie Sheffield has repeatedly claimed that this is completely false, the team's hearts fluctuated, and the record inevitably experienced a big decline - in February 2006, Newcastle owner Coach Sones resigned and left the team. Rod, the director of youth training, temporarily replaced him. Former England ace center Alan Shearer also served as an assistant coach as a player!

Unfortunately, all this did not put Newcastle on the right track. In the just-concluded 06-07 season, Newcastle still had the worst record in history. After a thrilling relegation, the acting coach Rod was forced to resign!

At this time, although Newcastle barely stayed in the Premier League, the statement about the financial crisis further intensified. Although the boss Freddie Shefir, as always, strongly claimed that the team's finances were still healthy, he could not provide a transfer budget for more than a month in a row, and the big stars in the team were also scattered. Selling and cashing out... Newcastle is obviously in deep trouble!

Even Michael Owen, the star of the family, would have been sold out if it hadn't been for three months of injury!

What's worse, not long ago, Mr. Freddy Sheffield, the magpie's boss, had an appointment with the tycoon Mick Ashley. The scene was caught by The Sun. Everyone knew that it was not a day or two for Mick Ashley's eye on Newcastle, so Sheffield and Ashley met at this time. The content of the negotiation will come out by any fool... Under such a turbulent situation, many of Newcastle's minority shareholders have begun to sell their shares. What Li Tongfan needs to do now is to seize the opportunity to buy the magpie shares held by these minority shareholders at the lowest price. Of course, if they can get from Sheffield If you buy a part there and hold more than 50%, then everything will be complete!

Take a holding approach instead of a buyout, which is the reason why Li Tongfan dares to make this big gamble.

People are self-aware. You should know that even if Newcastle is in a financial crisis, with Lao Li's hard-earned financial resources, he can only buy half of the magpie at most. If he waits for a few more years to give Li Tongfan enough money, it may be possible to monopolize, but the opportunity is fleeting, Lao Li can't wait!

Of course, the above speculation is just an ideal state, and things will not be so simple! According to the investigation of Tolosi-Tang, even if you eat all the shares of minority shareholders in one go, it only accounts for about 20% at most. It is far from enough to achieve terror! And now a Mick Ashley has been killed halfway. It seems impossible for Li Tongfan to take shares from Sheffield!

"...Tang, how much is my current total? I think the overdraft plan has accumulated a little capital some time ago, right? After reading all the information, Li Tongfan twisted his head and asked, "Big housekeeper, tell me, how many digits are in my bank card?"

"Wait for me to calculate... Your annual after-tax salary in Real Madrid is about 2.45 million pounds. After deducting the relevant expenses of [Flash Red Star] and several points in China, there are still 2 million left... As for other... "Tolosi Tang spread out the documents in his hand and took out his laptop to calculate quickly. Get up: "Li Ning's sponsorship contract is 20 million yuan for four years, Pepsi 15 million pounds in 5 years, 10 million pounds for Vodafone Telecom for 3 years, 20 million pounds for Geely razor for 4 years, 8 million pounds for Audi for 2 years, and 5 million pounds for Armani clothing for 4 years..."

In the end, Torothy Tang couldn't help breathing: "God, you have at least 50 million pounds in your bank card..." At this point, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Tang's face: "...Tell you a bad one. Do you know the news? Li, because you require that all endorsement contract fees, regardless of the number of years, must be settled at one time, now a new nickname about you has begun to circulate among the major sponsors in Europe..."

Looking at Tang's expression of crying and laughing, Lao Li had a bad hunch in his heart, but in the end, he asked cooperatively, "Well, how did those damn capitalists make up me?"

"...the devil who accumulates wealth!!!" Tolosi Tang closed the laptop on his lap and did not hide the worship on his face: "Such a request is what you think, Li, if it weren't for the huge Chinese market behind you, plus your mythical record in Real Madrid, no sponsor would have been willing to be surnamed at once. The endorsement fee of four or five years has been settled... But now that you have left Real Madrid, your business image will inevitably be affected. It is estimated that these guys have repented..."

Li Tongfan lay on the green bamboo rocking chair and curled his lips: "Ha, cunning capitalists will not do business at a loss. They will soon find out how wise it is to invest in me..."

Tolosi Tang has been used to the boastful expression of a sulking man in the past few days. He didn't think it was strange, but he quickly thought of another thing and frowned and asked, "Speaking of leaving Real Madrid, Li, I don't think you have handled this matter well. The fans will definitely feel betrayed because of your departure. You You should explain clearly before leaving, and at least give an acceptable reason, which will help your personal image..."

"Do you think someone will understand if I explain at that time?" Li Tongfan finally sat up from the green bamboo rocking chair, and his expression began to become serious: "To leave is to leave. No matter how I explain it, the fans will not forgive me... Moreover, some things that come out of my mouth will be regarded as sophistry, but if it is another person, the credibility will be much higher!"

Finally, Li Tongfan lay back with a bad smile on his face: "Don't you think everything is solved now? Florentino helped me wash away all my grievances. Hey hey, now in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, I am still a hero of the city. Everyone is confessing to God for wronging me... Can't this help me establish a positive image? You know, I haven't said anything bad about Real Madrid or Calderon from beginning to end! Ha!"

Tlosi Tang had to admit that he was defeated by this shameless guy. Speaking of which, Calderon and Mijatovi were strange and pitiful. Just because they sold two crazy Li's confidants during the winter break, they were almost turned into madmen by this master... It's really not ordinary revenge!

Tolosi Tang understands that if it hadn't been for Li Tongfan's silence, it would not be easy for Florentino to use this matter to defeat Calderon, but Don didn't understand why Li would be willing to help Florentino just because he hated Calderon? The uncle of England has a hunch that Li Tongfan's intention is by no means so simple!

"Li, the last question," the uncle of England pretended to be a curious baby: "Why are you so keen on controlling a club? You should know that with your ability, even if you are an ordinary head coach, you can become the focus of attention..."

"If I can, I don't want to own a club. It's just a self-protection strategy..." Li Tongfan was asked about his mind by Tang's words. He lay on the rocking chair and looked at the blue sky leisurely: "Since the incident of Robinho and Juan Mata, I have sworn that I will not do it in the future. Things beyond my control happen again, and the feeling of powerlessness is horrible..."

Li Tongfan didn't finish all his ideas. The way he relied on to become famous was the FM system. Only by firmly controlling everything around him in his own hands and arming them like a fortress, he would not be discovered by others... Moreover, only in this way can he create whatever he wants. Create geniuses, buy players, and coach the team according to the development path of FM. There will be no sad situation where the players you have worked hard to cultivate will be sold out by the senior management of the club!

In fact, Li Tongfan knows in his heart what he is. Even if he gives a team to run his own business, he is not the material. When the [Kora Plan] is successful, Lao Li will be a shopkeeper hidden behind the scenes. As long as others do not threaten his own interests, he will coach the team at ease. Let's play the game!

Lao Li is absolutely unwilling to make peace. After all, FM2007 is an infinite flow system that kills people without blood. Running a club will not bring character points. It is the best way to lead the team to save your life!

In the final analysis, everything is just to live a good life!

Just as Li Tongfan was lying on the green bamboo rocking chair and staring at the blue sky, a burst of cheerful music suddenly sounded out of thin air. It was a clip of the famous opera artist Verdi's "The Power of Destiny" - Tolosi Tang's mobile phone ringtone!

Tang threw an apologetic look, stood up and walked aside to answer the phone, but after only a few words, he covered the microphone and walked over with excitement on his face: "Li, it's Mr. Brian Balvik's phone. He hopes to talk to you..."

Brian Balvik?

A little familiar name, Li Tongfan was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that this master was the famous CEO of the British Football Federation. Could it be... A little absurd idea flashed in Li Tongfan's mind. He reached out and took the phone. After a few words, he confirmed his speculation in his heart - due to the poor record of the national team in the European Cup qualifiers, the British Football Federation can no longer keep an eye on the pressure of domestic public opinion and is ready to change the coach!

Brian Barvik hopes that Li Tongfan can take over McLaren's whip and lead the Three Lions to the 2008 European Cup!

Li Tongfan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but a name suddenly jumped into Lao Li's heart - David Beckham!!! If Beckham wants to get the World Footballer of the Year next year, he must have a dominant play in the European Cup, and it seems that he is the only one in the world who can make Beckham play like this... After a slight hesitation, Lao Li agreed to Brian Balvik's invitation and said that he was willing to go to Wembley. The office was free to talk, and then I heard a relieved exhalation from the other side of the phone, and then hung up... Did you coach the England national team? It should be a good challenge, right? However, in the past few days, there were scandals between Crazy Capello or Lippi and the British Football Association on the Internet. There was nothing wrong with me. How could I suddenly find myself?

Lao Li is suddenly looking forward to his trip to England, but before going to Wembley, there is another very important thing to do - transfer the game archive and upgrade the system to 2008!

Because today is June 29, my contract with Real Madrid in the FM2007 system has finally expired, which means that the 06-07 season is finally over, and the forced surname read-only file can be transferred!

In the 07-08 season, whether the madman Li can still be invincible depends on the result of this game save transfer!
