Manchester United, Fulham, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester City, plus West Ham United, which was bought by Icelandic tycoons after the World Cup, unknowingly, there are already 6 teams in the Premier League controlled by foreign capital, as well as private teams such as Liverpool, Red Rebels, and Droisden.

If the collective listing of Premier League teams was hailed as a weather vane, then now, many football competition economists have proposed that centralization has become synonymous with today's football.
Why?
This has to start with the case of the Premier League at the end of 2006 when the manager received kickbacks in the process of player transfers, including Sam Allardyce and other Premier League coaches were involved in this turmoil, which also made many teams begin to reflect on whether the head coach's power is too great.
The Red Rebels are hailed as a representative example of how football is run today, but Mourinho does not have the power to kill at the Red Rebels club, he can choose the players he likes, but he is not qualified to intervene in the negotiations, and all the transfer negotiations are handled by professionals from the Ministry of Commerce.
Is it the Red Rebels who are limiting Mourinho's power too much?
Apparently not, the Portuguese has all the power at the Newton Heath training ground, and he can even refuse any commercial practice on reasonable grounds, even if it is Adidas, the club's biggest sponsor.
Jose Mourinho has said that the Red Rebels' decentralised structure allows him to worry about things off the pitch because he knows that professionals will take care of them, and if he needs to buy a player, it can be done with just a phone call.
"I don't know if there's anything more convenient in the world!" Jose Mourinho used to laugh like that.
In addition to Mourinho, managers such as Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti, and Van Gaal do not have much power in the club, which also makes many people begin to wonder if Xiao Yu, Abu, Alfasim and other outstanding people who have been successful in other fields do not understand the rules of football?
If you say Alfasim, then some people still believe it, but if Xiao Yu doesn't understand the rules of football, it will only laugh everyone's big teeth, because he is known as an outstanding football figure who single-handedly created the Red Rebel Empire.
If not, then the only explanation is that they see a problem with the traditional English football club structure, which is that the manager has too much power, or that the club management is decentralized.
The most obvious is Arsenal, David? Dunn has said on several occasions that the power struggle of the board has become a stumbling block to Arsenal's development, otherwise the Emirates Stadium would not have taken that long to build.
In addition, similar to the internal friction of membership-based clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, the internal friction of Premier League listed football clubs is also very frequent, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are membership-based and relatively public, and these listed clubs are closed to meetings, and they are not as famous as Real Madrid and Barcelona, so they are not well known.
The reason why so many rich people are rushing to the Premier League is not only because they value the appreciation potential of the Premier League, but also because of the business atmosphere.
It can be said that with the improvement of the FA and the Premier League in recent years, the acquisition of the Premier League by foreign capital is no longer a flood beast, in terms of how to restrict foreign investment, with the acquisition of Manchester United by the Glazer family, the Premier League has once again made quite a lot of regulations and restrictions, and the Glazer family is even facing the problem of separating debt from Manchester United.
In the past, the purpose of listing was to raise funds, but these Premier League clubs have found that the funds are raised, but at the same time, they have also brought more big men who help them get ideas, and many of them even don't even understand the most basic football rules, which will only get in the way, so they began to think about finding some rich and a little bit of money owners who love to watch football games.
Each of these financiers has its own purpose, for example, Abu bought Chelsea to buy a talisman, Randy? Lerner is keen on the Premier League's potential for appreciation, Alfasime is looking to increase his popularity and influence, and so on.
But they all have one thing in common, and that is to spend a lot of money!
That's enough in professional football.
So when the Dubai DIC consortium proposed to buy Tottenham, the 71-year-old Lewis was tempted, he had long wanted to take a back seat, so he began to negotiate with the other party, although he could not negotiate in the summer transfer period, but it was progressing well.
But now, with Tottenham's results slipping, Lewis is so angry that he even feels that Joel is undermining his bargaining chips, so the hapless Dutchman is sacked.
The Dubai DIC consortium originally wanted to get Liverpool, but after Liverpool's homegrown billionaire Morgan took over, Liverpool won the first Premier League title in the club's history, and it was impossible to get the Reds.
The Red Rebels, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams are also difficult to get, Arsenal's asking price is too high, and the Dubai DIC consortium finally chose Tottenham Hotspur, a London team, after all, London is a famous financial center in the world, and the team here has a unique natural advantage.
Lewis's initial asking price was £400 million, after all, there is also a White Hart Lane stadium, but although the Dubaiites have a lot of money, it does not mean that they are fools and rejected Lewis, but the two sides negotiated closely.
Tottenham Hotspur has not achieved good results recently, Dubai is only willing to pay 250 million pounds at most, while Lewis asked for 300 million, and finally after Joel left class, the two sides held one last negotiation, and finally finalized 280 million pounds, Dubai DIC consortium into Tottenham Hotspur, and this news was also disclosed by the media for the first time.
........................ "We are well aware of the predicament that Tottenham are facing at the moment and we also know that the Premier League has been very competitive in recent years, which is a good thing, it shows that the Premier League is becoming more and more influential and we are happy to see that situation and we are willing to accept this challenge. ”
"We are not going to make waves in the transfer market like other consortiums that have just joined the Premier League, we want to operate for the long term, so the priority is to find a suitable and capable manager for Tottenham as soon as possible, and then we will run Tottenham with the principle of healthy management!"
Looking at what the spokesperson of the Dubai DIC consortium said in an interview with the media on TV, Xiao Yu felt an unprecedented excitement in his heart.
"This Premier League is getting more and more interesting!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Everyone laughed, but it was Mark? David was a little disappointed.
"Their operation is also not distinctive, the expansion of the White Hart Lane Stadium, the purchase of powerful stars, the search for a great head coach, etc., there is nothing new in the slightest!"
Xiao Yushu laughed, in fact, it is very difficult to open up new ideas in the field of football, after all, everything is the same, these roads are almost all walked by the Red Rebels, and every team that buys a Premier League club will take it out and show it.
For this, as the founder of the Red Rebel business empire, Mark? David is naturally qualified to comment on these juniors.
"280 million pounds, the Dubai people have taken a big advantage, if Tottenham didn't have a bad result this season, how could it not be so much money, but now it's up to the Dubai people to do it, if they don't do it properly, Tottenham is relegated, then the deal will be a loss." Gardner commented from the perspective of an operator.
"Dubai people lose, but Tottenham will not lose!" Walsh said confidently.
Following the introduction of a series of policies to protect clubs in the Premier League, Premier League teams will not suffer in the takeover, although there may be some impact on competitive performance.
"I heard that the managers they contacted include Eriksen, Redknapp Sr., Hiddink, Bosque and others, but I don't know who will be in charge of Tottenham!"
"It's not just Tottenham!" Gardner followed David's words, "We have received reliable information, and Arsenal is also in contact with a consortium from the United States and Russia, where the Russian side is an old friend of Abu and is worth more than 10 billion pounds, and the American side is Billionaire? Kroenke, if the contact pays off, Arsenal is likely to bottom out! ”
In the past two seasons, with the rise of the Premier League, Arsenal's situation in the Premier League has become more and more difficult, and this season it has not even been able to get a ticket to the Champions League, and it is forced to play in the League Cup, which makes the Arsenal board have to learn from the pain.
David? Dunn is a staunch advocate of bringing in foreign capital, and for this reason he is said to have reached an agreement with Usnomanv, once the Russian oligarchs succeed in taking over Arsenal, David? Dunn will become Arsenal's chairman, but many members of the board are torn between what to decide.
It can be said that when Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams are rising rapidly, they covet each other's inexhaustible pounds, eager to use more transfer fees to buy superstars and strengthen the team, but on the other hand, they are worried that the introduction of foreign capital will lead to the fall of Arsenal.
Is it tradition or reform?
This is a big problem facing the Arsenal board!
But surprisingly, this is also a big problem for UEFA!
…………………… At the same time as the new round of European Championship qualifiers begins, the president of the French Football Federation, Escalette, has officially submitted a nomination to UEFA to nominate the legendary superstar Platini as the candidate for the next UEFA president.
Who was Platini?
One of the most famous stars in the history of French football, who has held important positions in the French Football Federation for many years, currently sees that UEFA President Johansson has no successor, so he stands up and hopes to participate in the UEFA presidential election.
At this point, Bayern's Beckenbauer was somewhat modest, saying that he would not compete with Johansson until he left, because he had a deep friendship with Johansson, but this also gave Platini an advantage in the race for the next UEFA president.
And this time, Platini's slogan is, Reform!
"I still remember when I was a player, I went to Malta to play a game, and the local fans were like a festival, and I saw the purest joy of football in their faces! I would say that the UEFA Champions League should be such a platform for fans to be happy! ”
"If Malta can meet the England national team in European Championship qualifying, why can't Maltese clubs meet the Red Rebels? Maltese fans can't see Beckham and Kaka on their home turf? ”
'I regret the Champions Cup in recent years, there are even four teams in one country, and this season there are five teams in the Premier League, which is too many, and I think what we have to do now is to reduce the number of teams in the top flight and increase the number of teams in the lower leagues.
At the press conference announcing his candidacy, Platini faced reporters and passionately analyzed his governing philosophy.
"I've heard that the Premier League has recently had another team bought by big conglomerates, and they are more and more inclined towards commercialisation rather than football itself, I think this is a kind of football regression, if I were the president of UEFA, I would prohibit this from happening, I want all teams to compete on a level playing field, instead of relying on financial resources, buying and hoarding stars, and improving the competitiveness of the team in a short period of time, which is unfair to other teams!"
Not only was the reporter at the press conference in an uproar, but even Xiao Yu was surprised when he saw the news broadcast in the sports news, he really didn't expect Platini to hate the Premier League model so much.
"A lot of people say that the Red Rebels are the most successful club in football today, but I would say that they represent a step backwards in football, they play a nouveau riche style of football, don't you believe it? We look at the 26 first-team squads they have signed up for this season, with only six being homegrown players and the remaining 20 coming from 13 countries. ”
"I have to admire Jose Mourinho because he is able to run such an international column and how many languages does it take to make his tactical intentions clear to everyone? And looking at the proud players in the Red Rebels' academy, I wonder how the 14-year-old talent, known as the new Pele, got to Manchester. Didn't the Brazilian Football Federation rule that players under the age of 18 are prohibited from transferring to foreign countries? ”
"And like Cesc Fabregas, Aguero, John? Obi? Mikel and other geniuses, how did they switch to the Red Rebels at such a young age? Could this be the so-called academy success of the Red Rebels? If so, then they can only be regarded as football traffickers, let such a team win the Champions League, it is a regression of football, winning the Champions League, is the sorrow of football, if they let them win three consecutive times, or let more teams like the Red Rebels win the Champions League, or the league title, it is a disaster for football! ”
"If I'm in power, I want to be able to completely change this situation so that all clubs are equal, whether they have money or not, whether they are big or small, they can compete on the same starting line, and I also want to have more teams from Eastern European leagues participate in the Champions Cup."
There is no doubt that Platiniv, as soon as he appeared, clearly expressed his ruling philosophy, declared war on all the forces he wanted to challenge, and issued a war letter to all his future opponents!
