646 Who is the first brother?
On the third day after Liverpool beat Manchester City, Liverpool's local newspaper, Liverpool Post published a call from Benitez, hoping that all parties can let go of disputes, work together to negotiate a summer transfer plan.
At the same time, the Liverpool city government quickly stepped forward to put pressure on the British Sports Ministry of State to intervene in Liverpool's management dispute as soon as possible, because the infighting between Hicks and Gillette has seriously affected Liverpool's city image.
"This is no longer just a matter of football. We must do something and maintain the image of our city."
The statement of the Liverpool Municipal Government also quickly received support from all parties.
The British Parliament's cross-party football MPs' panel publicly stated that it would re-invest the acquisition of British clubs by foreign bosses, including the Liverpool board crisis.
Alan Kinn, the chairman of the group and British MP, said, "The English club has achieved great achievements in European football. We have won the Champions League semi-finals this season. This is an unprecedented success, but there are still many problems in the management of the club, which is a major issue related to the development of football."
At the same time, Liverpool police also officially stated that they will urge Liverpool management to resolve conflicts as soon as possible.
“To eliminate anti-Hicks slogan doodles around Anfield, we have spent a lot of money on local taxpayers, not Liverpool Club’s own business, but the whole city’s business.”
...
Pressure from all walks of life forces Liverpool to respond.
Club general manager Rick Parry soon met with Hicks and Gillette to communicate and coordinate the current situation of Liverpool. He then announced on the official website that the talks have made positive progress and that disputes and contradictions will be resolved in the near future.
At the same time, Rick Parry said that the team will formulate a summer transfer plan as soon as possible and do its best to retain many players in the team, including Yang Yang.
But at almost the same time, media in Catalonia, Spain revealed that Barcelona officially made a offer to Liverpool, hoping to introduce Yang Yang this summer.
The British Sun also quickly followed up, saying that Barcelona did make a offer, but was rejected by Liverpool because Barcelona's offer did not have the rumored 80 million euros, but only 70 million euros.
"Liverpool insiders revealed that Liverpool cannot agree to such an unrealistic offer."
…………
…………
In the two days after the team was disbanded, Yang Yang remained at Liverpool to deal with some things.
When Barcelona and Liverpool came to the quotation fax, Raiola also appeared in Liverpool immediately and brought first-hand information to Yang Yang.
"The current situation is still very chaotic, complicated, and it is unclear at all."
The fat Italians are obviously also very troubled, because Liverpool is like a ball of paste now, and they can't figure out what's going on, so they can only say it's very confusing.
The management is in chaos, the club cannot come up with a clear transfer plan, and the summer transfer is also ineffective.
"I even suspect that if this continues, I guess I won't expect this summer transfer this year."
Raiola shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Who would have thought that Liverpool would suddenly have so many problems in such a successful season?
Of course, these problems did not appear out of thin air, but were accumulated over the past one or two years, and now they all suddenly broke out, such as the financial crisis of two American bosses.
"What news did you hear?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
Raiola was able to become the agent of Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic and did it with ease, so he naturally had his own unique way of survival and secret information channels.
Meeting him, talking, and reaching a consensus is also the reason why Yang Yang stays in Liverpool.
"I received the news that Hicks promised to give Benitez a transfer fee of 30 million pounds. In addition, the income from the transfer during the winter break and the income from the team selling people this summer can be invested in the transfer operation, but there is a prerequisite."
When Yang Yang heard this, he didn't have to think about it, "He wants Benitez to support him."
"Yes." Raiola praised with a smile.
Liverpool's performance in the past few seasons is very impressive. In the past four years, Benitez has won two Champions League titles, one Premier League title, and several other Cup championships. Especially in the past two seasons, after Yang Yang joined the team, the team's performance has been even more impressive, which has also brought Benitez's position in the club to a new height.
If Benitez publicly supports Hicks, it will undoubtedly make Gillette appear more weak and passive on the board.
"Benitez didn't agree, right?" Yang Yang guessed.
If Benitez agrees, then there is no need for him to accept a special interview with the media the day before yesterday to clarify the talks between him and Hicks. The reason why he clarifies is that he does not want to be misunderstood.
"Benitez is a ball fool, but he is not a fool. It will not do him any good for being involved in the disputes on the board for no reason. Moreover, he is very clear that even if Hicks agrees, how could he convince Gillette?"
Yang Yang smiled. Americans underestimate Benitez too much. Do you really think that vernacular can trap the Spanish?
"I also received news that Benitez and Gillette have always had a good relationship."
Yang Yang nodded, "Yes, Gillette wanted to acquire Liverpool alone at the beginning, so he first contacted Rick Parry and Benitez. The relationship between them has always been good, but these two Americans are just as good as they are."
In the face of huge interests, Hicks and Gillette are both profit-oriented businessmen, but relatively speaking, Gillette will be relatively friendly to Liverpool. On the contrary, Hicks is desperately trying to maximize his interests, and even sacrifices Liverpool's interests because of this.
"You are right. In this matter, both the club general manager Rick Parry and the former boss Morse were fooled." Raiola's tone seemed to appreciate the operation methods of the two American bosses making money.
The reason why they were deceived is that in order to acquire Liverpool, two Americans set up a special holding company. Through this holding company, they borrowed a large amount of money from Royal Bank of Scotland and spent 220 million pounds to successfully acquire Liverpool from David Morse.
Rick Parry and David Morse are not fools either. They are both hardcore Liverpool fans and naturally know how to protect the team. Therefore, in the contract documents for acquiring the club, it is very clear that debt is the affairs of the two American bosses and has nothing to do with Liverpool. The club will not bear debts for this, nor will they bear the expenses they paid for acquiring the team.
To put it simply, Americans' debt has nothing to do with the club.
And if the Americans plan is based on the Americans, as long as they can successfully obtain a loan again, not only will the holding company's debt not have any problems, but even the team's new stadium plan can be implemented as scheduled.
But people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The US subprime mortgage crisis broke out in full swing, the assets of the two American bosses shrank sharply, and the bank's credit was tightened, so they refused to lend them any more. So when the debt was reorganized, they had to dig money from the club to pay high interest.
The relationship between the two American partners also broke down, and the club also suffered a heavy debt burden for it.
Originally they could have sold it to the Dubai dig consortium to cash out, but Hicks was obviously greedy and wanted to make more profits, so he eventually turned the dig consortium out, which caused the current dig consortium.
...
"Barcelona did send a offer, but it was only 70 million euros. Laporta was very cautious about this transfer because Barcelona's finances were not very abundant, but they were really interested in you."
Raiola said with great certainty.
"Ronaldinho is really leaving?"
"It's definitely going to go," said Raiola, and then he told what he got about Barcelona's internal struggles in the past two years and Ronaldinho.
"Based on the information I have obtained, Barcelona is not stable either. You said that they treat Ronaldinho like this now, and have treated Cruyff, Maradona, Rivaldo and others in the past. What about you?"
Yang Yang kept nodding, this was indeed a problem.
"This is just a part of the problem. If you really go to Barcelona, how to partner with Messi is also a question. Who is the core of the team's offensive at that time?"
This is the real big problem.
The offensive core is definitely not as simple as you see on the surface, but a tilt of the team's internal resources.
It's like in Liverpool, Yang Yang has the right to fire, Crouch has to play the ball for Yang Yang, Kuyt has to open the defense for Yang Yang, and other players have to provide services for Yang Yang to ensure that Yang Yang plays in the most relaxed environment.
Because Yang Yang is Liverpool’s number one star and the number one player!
In the past two years, Barcelona has been strongly supporting Messi and wants to replace Ronaldinho with Messi, but if Yang Yang goes, what is he?
Some things can only be obtained by one person. If you give them to Yang Yang, Messi will not have them. If you give them to Messi, Yang Yang will not have them.
So will Barcelona give Messi, who is a direct youth training department? Or will Yang Yang be introduced with a large sum of money?
This is also a problem that must be clarified. If you are not careful, Yang Yang's good situation will be ruined.
For example, if he transfers to Barcelona and Barcelona management asks him to attack Messi, will he obey or disobey?
In addition, clubs usually only have one big prize like World Footballer. So will they promote Messi or Yang Yang? This is also a problem.
"In addition, I got two more news from Spain." Raiola said mysteriously.
"What?"
"First, Mourinho almost signed a coaching contract with Barcelona for a time, but because of Cruyff's clear opposition, both sides temporarily put it aside."
Yang Yang frowned after hearing this, and he did not expect that Cruyff would have such influence in Barcelona.
