Chapter 303 Crazy Li's Butcher's Knife
May 21st.
What happened in the square in front of the St. Gateshead Auditorium is like a light comedy.
This unprepared scene made the media and football experts who were not optimistic about the acquisition of Newcastle by the madman Li and gloatingly waiting to see the jokes broke their glasses and dislocated their chins... Instead of being ruthlessly resisted and rejected, the madman won the New York like the coronation of the emperor. The support and support of the Castle people.
"...Although he is not a pure Englishman, we prefer to treat him as a Newcastle, because the mayor of Newcastle has just awarded Mr. Rice Bucket the Citizen Medal of Honor..."
In the face of reporters' questions, Newcastle fan representative John Newton explained to the world the reason why the Newcastles welcomed the madman Lee:
"For Newcastleians, everything is ideal now! Because the chairman of the club is Sir Hall, and Mr. Rice Bucket does not regard the team as his personal belongings because he owns the absolute shares of Newcastle. More importantly, he promises that if Newcastle no longer needs him one day, he is willing to resell the shares of the club to other British... ...We believe in him. When hasn't the promise of crazy Li been fulfilled? He never disappoints the fans who support him and love him... Of course, the most important thing is that Newcastle is inseparable from the invincible madman Li!"
Presperation plus means!
This is why madman Li successfully controlled the club with the largest number of fans in the UK.
What the British Three Islands media did not expect was that it was just an informal celebration to celebrate the team's fifth place in the league, and more than 100,000 Newcastle citizens participated. This somewhat horrible number even exceeded the scale of Red Devils Manchester United's celebration of the success in defending the league in Manchester Harbour City. .
Moreover, under the advance work of the cunning man, the broadcasting rights of this celebration banquet were sold at a sky-high price of 1 million pounds, and finally the British National Television, represented by the famous "British anniper" Sester, won the broadcasting rights.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat!
1 million pounds is enough for Lao Li to buy "**" from five or six ultra-high-potential unknown demons from the FM2008 scouting tools. After a few years, wait until the little guys are mature and sell them. Hey hey, it will be hundreds of times more than 1 million.
... After the celebration banquet, the team began to take a big vacation.
But for Li Tongfan, this holiday is destined to be an extremely busy summer.
Because the curtain of the 2008 European Cup will begin in half a month, Lao Li will change his focus and lead the England team to participate in the upcoming European Cup as the coach of the Three Lions.
There is a long way to go!
But before that, Newcastle's summer signing and cleaning work must also be accelerated.
Perhaps after the European Cup, many young players favored by Lao Li will soar in value because of their wonderful performance in the European Cup. Once other giants realize the real value of these little guys, Newcastle will have no advantage in the competition.
So in the following week, Newcastle's transfer department accelerated the pace of work at Lao Li's request. The player's transfer notices published on Newcastle Club's official website one after another - at 9:00 a.m. on May 23, Newcastle's main midfielder Joey Button finally got 19 million. The value of the pound returned to the old club Manchester City.
This 10 million-level deal was a powerful first shot for the Premier League's summer transfer.
The red card professional just went to the Magpie from Manchester City for 11 million pounds a season ago. In less than 12 months, the Magpie not only relied on Joey Barton's wonderful performance to qualify for the UEFA Cup, but also got a transfer difference of 8 million pounds, which was a double profit. .
Of course, it seems that Manchester City doesn't have it for the time being.
Because the bad boy successfully froze the 07-08 season European golden boots Cristiano Ronaldo and the Red Army soul Steven Gerrard's wonderful performance in the middle of Old Trafford and Anfield in the afternoon has made him one of Europe's top-class midfielders, and... now Manchester City is not short of money!
12:00 noon on May 24th.
Turkish talented offensive midfielder Emre in the Magpie also waved farewell to St. James Park Stadium.
Although Emre performed well in Li Tongfan's first game against Tottenham Hotspur and was the most imaginative and creative player in Newcastle's front court, his frequently injured physical condition and poor physical condition forced Lao Li to give up the Turks. Known as Turkey's most talented midfielder in the 20th century by European football, he returned to his home team Galatasaray for 6 million pounds after a seven-year trip to Europe at Inter Milan and Newcastle.
May 26th at 9:00 a.m.
The fourth player after James Milner, Joey Barton and Emre is the 32-year-old Australian rhino Mark Viduka. The powerful center, who moved from Middlesbrough to Newcastle last season, chose to join the Croatian giant Dinamo Zagreb, bringing a transfer fee of 3 million pounds to Li Tongfan.
18:00 p.m. on May 26.
A 22-year-old South African midfielder Pattison, born in the Newcastle Youth Camp, joined the Champions League team Wolves for £1 million.
9:00 a.m. on May 27th.
Sora Ameibi, a 26-year-old high school striker with a height of 1.91 meters, transferred to Glasgow Rangers, a Scottish Premier League, for 8 million pounds.
May 29th at 11:00 a.m.
32-year-old Spanish midfielder Sergio transferred to La Liga for £3 million. So far, this is the only loss-making deal made by Li Tongfan, because Sergio came to St. James's Park at a high price of 9 million pounds before the start of the season!
Of course, not every cleaning is realized according to Lao Li's wishes. Senegal's central defender A-Faye is not interested. 25-year-old Argentine defender Pirano and 30-year-old Nigilia left-back Barbaroya have also become a bad warehouse.
... In the week after becoming a major shareholder of Newcastle, the madman Li immediately raised the bloody "butcher knife"!
Within five days, seven main or semi-main players left St. James Park Stadium. Although these players brought a total of 47 million pounds of transfer income to Newcastle before and after their departure, considering that the team will participate in the League Cup next season, there is nothing other than cleaning. There is other news of signings, and the fans are still a little worried.
And there are also some strange and harsh arguments in the news media.
A "brick beast" can't wait to jump out to point out that the madman Li did not consider the interests of the magpie at all, but was using Newcastle to make money, and even maliciously speculated that Li Tongfan was on the verge of bankruptcy after the acquisition of Magpie, and in order to pay the 30 million pounds that the Newcastle Club will expire this summer. Bank loans and the sale of main players have become the only way out for China's "poor people".
Finally, the bricklayers pretended to be compassionate and solemnly warned:
"Newcastle fans, wake up! If you continue to let [Butcher] madman Li unrestrainedly sell James Milner, Joey Patton and other main players who have made great contributions to Newcastle's top five this season, not to mention the UEFA Cup, even if Newcastle wants to make a difference in the Premier League next season, it's a dream. Words..."
"The rookie's major shareholders made a series of tricks, and the ten-game winning lineup at the end of the season collapsed"
"Newcastle drove away the mediocre Ashley, but the madman Lee is not the real savior"
"Madman Lee makes the dark horse Newcastle into an empty shell in the second half"
Madman Li ruthlessly cleans the meritorious officials
"Madman Li Butcher's knife is held high, who will be next?"
"After blindly acquiring magpie, he went bankrupt, and the madman Li had to sell players to cash out"
... Under the upsurge of public opinion, many Newcastle fans who were originally optimistic about Li Tongfan's acquisition of Magpie couldn't help it and expressed their concerns to the club in various ways. Fans hope that the new club management can manage the team in a more cautious and reasonable way, instead of solving the financial crisis by selling players as it is now.
In the face of the criticism of fans and a certain media, Newcastle Club only assured the fans through its official website that what the current head coach Li Tongfan has done is for the consideration of the team. Please be patient enough and there will soon be a chance to qualify... Unfortunately, no matter from which aspect, this guarantee statement is It's like a pale quit that is unconvincing!
"... Shameless sophistry, turning point? It's just an excuse and an excuse to deceive the fans!" Even Spain's Sport of the World sent the blame, but... The next series of news released on Newcastle Club's official website made all the blames like the remaining snow in the fields in March, and the whole European football scene was shocked!
9:00 a.m. on May 30th.
Argentine center Crespo joins Newcastle for 4 million pounds!
May 30th at 10:00 a.m.
"The main striker of the German national team, Podolski, joins Newcastle for 10 million euros"
May 30th at 11:00 a.m.
"Ronaldo and Marcelo join Newcastle with 10 million euros!"
May 30th at 13:00 p.m.
Real Madrid striker Carlos Bella transferred 5 million pounds to Newcastle!
May 30th at 15:00 p.m.
French Nice 21-year-old goalkeeper Hugo Loris joins Magpie for 8 million pounds!
18:00 p.m. on May 30.
"35-year-old French midfielder Macclelet joins Newcastle for 1 million pounds!"
...only one day!
In one day, the madman Lee found their own replacements at St. James' Park for the seven Newcastle players who had been sold before. Although giant-star players such as Ronaldo and Crespo have passed away, they are still heavyweight players that Newcastle had never thought of before. Unexpectedly... Have they really come to St. James's Park Stadium?
...in a house in Newcastle City!
When the young bus driver John Newton knelt on the dresser in the living room and saw this series of news through the TV broadcast, he completely ignored the murderous eyes of his newlywed wife Nili, jumped up, kicked off the dresser and twisted his buttocks crazily.
Three or four seconds later, Newton suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out of the house: "Honey, I'm going to tell Fat Dave and others the news. I won't come back for dinner at noon today... Nili: "..."
