Chapter 272: Time! The action begins!!

After firing the current head coach Sam Allardyce, Mick Ashley is like a buzzing green-headed fly, eagerly waving money all over the world in search of a "famous coach" who can save the Magpies from the abyss of relegation!

Because the fat man knows deep that if the team's record continues to decline, then Newcastle's market value will fall to an all-time low!

Such an ending is undoubtedly an unbearable disaster for Mick Ashley, who is bent on making a big profit!

Unfortunately, Sam Allardyce's angry rant has long made the world aware of what kind of Newcastle boss is.

Stupid, selfish, ignorant of football, just money...... At this time, no manager who has the ability to save the team is willing to take over the mess of Newcastle!

The morale of the army is weakened, the chairman leaves Germany, and the financial crisis ...... In such a context, whoever comes is a fool!

Even if he is a [world-class] coach, it is estimated that he will be left behind for 10,000 years if he falls into this mess of mud...... It's ridiculous that Mick Ashley, who hit a wall, even hit the idea on Lee Tong-beom!

This made Lao Li smile bitterly!

Ashley hopes that Li Tongfan can "pull his brothers" at a critical moment, and only needs to coach for half a season to pull Newcastle out of the abyss of relegation, and Lao Li can get a reward of 5 million pounds...... However, how could the sullen man who wished Ashley hurry up and get out of the house would agree?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I personally appreciate your trust...... Well, flattered, but Mr Ashley, I don't think the Football Team will ever grant you such a request, knowing that the European Championship finals are about to start in four months' time, and I have to make sure that England have a good interest in 2008......"

Disappointed, Ashley listened to the advice of the team's coaching staff and impressed the retired former Magpies superstar Alan Shearer with the righteousness of "Newcastle lives and dies"!

The latter took over in a hurry and became the acting head coach of Newcastle!

Soon after, a frustrated Mick Ashley stepped up his push to sell Newcastle!

On February 2, Newcastle FC's official website announced that the club owner has appointed Mr. Martin Brighton as the chairman of the club, responsible for the sale of the Magpies!

According to the Liverpool Post, Martin Brighton is currently at British Airways PLC and will form a new management team with Newcastle general manager Puslow, commercial director Ian Ayer and financial director Philips Nash to be responsible for the sale of Newcastle...... The news of this so-and-so consortium's intention to buy Newcastle is flying in the newspapers every day!

Rumours of a seething takeover have numbed the Newcastle people! Magpies fans have long since stopped putting their hopes on the shameless fat man who vowed to lead the team to glory seven months ago...... On February 9th, St. James' Park was full!

The fans in the stands unfurled the slogan "Alain, please give us hope"!

Magpies fans hope Alan Shearer, the hero of the pitch, can stand in the dugout in a suit and take Newcastle out of the abyss of misery!

However, Shearer was indeed a god at St James' Park as a player, but as a manager...... After 90 minutes, Newcastle lost 1-2! The opponent Manchester City stepped on the bus back with laughter thanks to goals from Brazilian midfielder Elano and Swiss teenager Grunson Fernandez!

"The magpie folds its wings, and the glory is no more!! 》

"Shearer struggles to save the Magpies, Newcastle are at the bottom"

"The former European powerhouse has fallen into the relegation zone, who is to blame? 》

…… The media criticism of Mick Ashley does not alleviate Newcastle's crisis in the slightest!

Looming over St James' Park is a dark cloud of despair!

At this time, Li Tongfan felt that he needed to do it!

After 26 rounds of the league, Newcastle is already at the bottom of the Premier League standings, if they can't get into the Magpies as soon as possible, then wait until the time is postponed for a few rounds, even if they can win a hundred battles, I am afraid they will not be able to bring Newcastle into the Europa League!

And if at the end of the season, it can only help Newcastle to be relegated and disqualified from participating in European competitions, it will undoubtedly cause huge financial losses!

Such an ending is an unbearable disaster for both Newcastle and Lee Tongfan!

Because, the huge broadcast revenue and financial income brought by participating in European competitions are the importance of realizing the revival of Newcastle in Lee Tongfan's plan!

You must know that at this moment, in order to accumulate money, Lao Li can't wait to wipe his ass with a lump of dirt!

Even if the reluctantly acquisition of Newcastle is successful, what about the team's transfer budget next season? Who pays the players' salaries? Who will pay the team's due debts?

Everything needs to be solved in pounds sterling with the Queen's banknotes printed on it!

In the 07-08 season, Newcastle must be brought to the European stage!

Even if it's the UEFA Cup!!

This is Li Tongfan's bottom line!

So, Li Tongfan appointed the "Dog-headed Military Division" Tolosi Tang Jie to contact Mick Ashley for the second time to test the bottom line of this fat man!

Two hundred million pounds!

This is the latest price given by the Newcastle sales team led by Martin Brighton!

Although it is 250 million pounds less than the first Mick Ashley's lion mouth, this is definitely not something Lao Li can afford!

Wait one more round!

Be patient!

On February 24, the 27 rounds of the Premier League were rekindled!

Newcastle lost 0:1 away to Birmingham, and the team has opened a five-point gap with the second-to-last Derby County...... the third time the "dog head military division" has negotiated!

Β£150 million!

Well, it's down 50 million, but according to Li Tongfan's current strength, he still can't eat it!

After acquiring about 20 percent of the shares in the hands of minority shareholders in the initial stage of the league, although there were gains due to coaching the England national team and later signing several large endorsement contracts, the savings in Li Tongfan's bank broke through to just over 60 million pounds...... However, the time has reached its limit and cannot be delayed any longer!

Li Tongfan is faced with two choices - loan financing!

Or look for a partner for a joint acquisition!

The first option is clearly not feasible!

That's right, there are many people on this planet who can borrow from the bank to hundreds of millions of pounds at a time with their personal assets and credit, but Li Tongfan obviously does not belong to one of them!

Not to mention that when the stuffy man was laid off in China two years ago, he had a bad credit record of dozens of credit cards that had not been repaid, even if Li Tongfan had good credit, no bank would be willing to lend 100 million pounds to a football coach at once...... Even if he is the invincible madman Lee!

I had to go the second way - look for a partner for a joint acquisition!

Lao Li has high requirements for partners!

First of all, it has to be someone who really loves Newcastle and not just for fun, like those oil tycoons in Arab countries! In this way, two people will have a common language when they work together, and avoid the situation of "fighting" when they get out of the line!

Secondly, it is better for the partner to have a high local prestige in Newcastle! This will reduce public opinion resistance to the takeover and ensure that his ownership will not be resisted by Newcastle fans...... After limiting the scope of screening, Li Tongfan finally fixed his eyes on one person!

This man not only has financial resources, not only is he full of love for Newcastle, but more importantly, he was once the savior of the Magpies, and has the same prestige as God in the eyes of Newcastle fans!

Best candidate!

The man began to act, because it was not easy to convince that man to come to Newcastle again!

An invisible undercurrent is surging and everything is about to get better!

Newcastle fans are experiencing the last darkness before dawn, and unfortunately they don't know that happiness is coming!

###θ‹±θΆ…θ”θ΅›θΏ˜εœ¨η»§η»­!

On March 1, Newcastle returned to the glory and drew 0:0 with the Premier League powerhouse Everton away!

The draw brought some comfort to Magpies fans, but sadly Newcastle's position in the league table has not changed as a result of this hard-earned draw!

Downgrading, it seems that it is already an inevitable end!

Acting head coach Alan Shearer held a press conference after the game and was ashamed to apologize to all the fans who supported and loved Newcastle!

In the face of this sincere and frank man, Newcastle fans chose to forgive with tears!

All the catastrophe was brought about by that stupid fat man named Mick Ashley, who was greedy for money, and now the only hope for everyone was for this horrible demon to leave St James' Park Stadium in a hurry...... The farther you go, the better!

…… On March 12, Magpie's new management team suddenly announced a piece of good news - "...... Yes, someone has already started to make contact with us with a real surname, and he wants to become the new boss of Newcastle...... Things will soon be answered!! Newcastle chairman Martin Brighton was full of red words when he told reporters: "The future owner of the club will definitely be a gentleman who will cheer all Newcastle fans up, I don't think anyone would have guessed that it was him...... Haha, I want to bless Newcastleca, because like a Cinderella who has experienced endless suffering, is finally about to welcome her own Prince Charming...... I'm sorry, but I can't reveal his identity just yet......"

Martin Brighton's declaration has aroused curiosity throughout English football!

A traditional powerhouse with a long history like Newcastle, all the English are watching its fate!

"Polygram Group acquires Newcastle! 》

"The ...... of the mysterious Syrian businessman who took ownership of Newcastle"

"India's Rich Man Wants to Save Magpie!! 》

In contrast to the schadenfreude and speculation of the English media, Newcastle fans reacted mixed - "...... Hell, I just hope that damn fat guy in Ashley fucks off, as long as there's a new boss, it doesn't matter who it is......" That's Newcastle taxi driver Walter's opinion!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hopefully the new owner is a gentleman who genuinely loves Newcastle, we have an honourable tradition and a team like Newcastle should go to Europe and not struggle in the relegation zone...... "Newcastle University professor Stephen Hendry worried!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If the new boss is still the same as Ashley's fat man, hum ......" A native Newcastle miner puffed out his biceps and grinned to show his cold white teeth: "...... We don't mind giving him a taste of the power of the fans......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hopefully, Newcastle will remain in the hands of the British after the sale, and not become the playthings of the rich like Manchester United or Chelsea...... "A gray-haired old fan tears in front of the interview camera!

Finally, the old fan's statement clearly represents the opinion of most Newcastle fans!

As a Premier League team with a long history, proud English gentlemen hope that Newcastle will always have English blood in their veins!
