Aldrich had returned to London past midnight.

At home, Evan stood in the living room watching TV, about Millwall and Leeds United Champions League match quickly became instant hot news, battle reports, game content, post-game coach interviews, etc., BBc's football program covered up the bell, several commentators focused on the game, but automatically skipped the racial discrimination storm, after all, this is negative for the national football image, just like the Heysel tragedy, the Heathbourg tragedy and countless football hooliganism, the British official is still the first choice to cover up the fire.

But other European media are unscrupulous, scrambling to cover the scandal of the Champions League semi-final "English Civil War"!

It was also at this time that the UEFA Disciplinary Committee announced an investigation into the match after getting the referee's match report after the match.

The Champions League is UEFA's signature, and the importance of the semi-finals is self-evident, and UEFA certainly does not want to see a scene in the middle of the game, and they will not have the mentality of watching Leeds United being attacked from the outside world, after all, the game is still officially organized by UEFA.

The match report was unusual, with only a brief mention of racial discrimination, stand riots, fan clashes and other keywords in the investigative statement.

Of course, UEFA wants to calm things down, and if it is a team from a different national league, UEFA will really have a headache for a while, because they don't want to make a big fuss, but how can the Football Association of the injured team give up?

Well, now that both parties are English teams, UEFA is not afraid of the FA toss, and everyone has to do their best to put out the fire anyway.

There is one more semi-final to go and it will be moved to Millwall's home turf. The results of UEFA's investigation will certainly not be settled until after the semi-finals.

Bert and Earl hadn't slept yet, and Andrew received a call from Arthur that night. He came to Aldrich to wait for him, and by the way, he bought two nephews a remote-controlled toy car, and they had a great time in the living room.

Aldrich opened the door and went home, and when Evan saw it, he turned off the TV first, so as not to upset Aldridge when he saw it.

Andrew stopped lying on the floor and played with his two nephews, and Evan led the children upstairs and coaxed them to sleep. Andrew patted his trouser leg and smiled at Aldridge: "Don't worry on the FA side, I'll help you settle it." ”

He didn't know that Thompson had called Aldridge directly, but judging from Aldridge's post-match remarks, the FA must have been unhappy with Aldridge.

Aldridge untied his tie, pulled it from his neck, and sneered, "Thompson doesn't want to be this chairman anymore." He's going to get me in trouble, there's nothing to settle with. ”

Mo said that Thompson's appointment was supported by Andrew's connections within the FA, and Aldridge's appointment as national team coach was finalized by Thompson.

In the past few months, it has been advertised everywhere that this is his credit, and Aldridge has been brought in, and the England national team has a new look immediately.

Aldridge resigned. Thompson is inextricably linked, and the opposition within the FA will inevitably fall from his position.

Thompson's phone call must have not been thought through, and it is estimated that he was in a hurry to get angry and blindly do it.

Aldridge afraid of the FA president?

I'm afraid of an egg, he was the one who stepped down from the previous chairman!

Chair of a non-governmental sector. Why be afraid?

Andrew thought about it and felt that Aldrich had a point.

The FA is dissatisfied. But it should be clear which is more important.

Aldridge is not reversing right and wrong, and if the FA targets Aldrich, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

The two sat down on the sand, and Andrew first asked Aldrich about Ronaldo's injuries.

He is an agent, but he cannot interfere in the operation of the player's club, and the player's injury during the critical period is an absolute secret within the club, and the player himself has no right to divulge it to the outside world.

"Three to four weeks to recuperate."

Aldridge also got the news from the club's medical department after getting off the plane that Xiao Luo was not seriously injured, but the recovery time was not short.

The next few games of the league must not be counted on, and whether you can catch up with the Champions League final depends on Xiao Luo's specific recovery.

Andrew was relieved, the players under him, Xiao Luo was already an important star, and one leg was worth at least tens of millions of pounds.

He told Aldrich that Arthur had "blackmailed" him before.

"Hehehe, Castle? Believe it or not? He will go crazy if he lives for a month at most, and the old man can't stand the loneliness, and he still supports the elderly. ”

Aldridge finally showed a smile, sometimes Arthur is foolish, but he always makes people happy.

Andrew frowned and said, "You didn't understand what he meant?" ”

Aldridge picked up an apple on the coffee table, used a fruit knife and began to flatten the peel, and said disapprerovitically: "I'm not stupid, he asked you to put Leeds United blood as much as possible, and this has nothing to do with me." How? You wouldn't do such a thing? Impossible. ”

Of course, Andrew will do this kind of vampire business, when he first operated Rivaldoden 6 La Liga, he drew 3o million pounds, which is not much, after all, the transfer fee is not much, Rivaldo misses the old, grateful to the old club, Andrew is also generous, wants to earn a good reputation, and draws 3o million pounds, of which 2o million pounds are privately deposited in Rivaldo's offshore center account, these years, as long as it is not involved in Millwall's transfer, he will draw a certain percentage of the commission from the middle, and transfer some to the player's private account when he is entrapped. It can be regarded as buying loyalty with money, so as not to let the player's wings harden and fly alone, or be seduced away by his peers.

He doesn't know the situation on Leeds United's side, the specific income and expenditure of the club's operation, he only knows Millwall's, but Millwall can't be used as a reference, so he wants to ask Aldridge, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, to release Leeds United's blood, you must first understand the other party's situation.

He made the point and asked Aldrich.

"I'll give you a rough ledger, and you can figure it out yourself. Leeds United has invested more than £100 million in players over the years, and the most that has been recovered from the sale of players is only £350,000 at most. Leeds United are operating at a loss because they have bought a lot of players. The salary expenses that were made when these stars were signed in the first place cumulated. It is a huge expense, relying on their operating income, and they cannot make ends meet. Most of the money spent on buying players was bank loans, and the bank naturally charged interest, which was accumulated season after season."

Aldrich cut the apple in half and gave it to Andrew, who was in no hurry to eat it in his hand, looking thoughtful.

He understands the overall economic environment of the football circle, that is, the football bubble is beginning to burst.

Are Leeds United unlucky? Or was it retribution?

Neither. This was just the risk they should have taken when they signed a huge loan with the bank to develop the club.

Looking at the football circle, this kind of team that relies on loans to develop the club can be called a big gamble, even if there is a moment of glory, but after a short cycle, the end is basically miserable.

Chelsea, for example, is now almost out of the picture. With debts of more than £50 million, Bates' dream of building Chelsea into a "Roman Empire" is almost shattered, especially in the context of the bursting of the football economic bubble, Bates is secretly peddling Chelsea, and no one in the industry dares to take over. That's a sinkhole!

A few years ago, there were still many businessmen who wanted to make money by using guò control zhì football clubs, and now at this stage, if they want to make money with guò football, that person must be crazy.

What exactly is a bubble in the football economy?

It is more intuitive to explain the tip of the iceberg in terms of financial markets, about 3 or 4 years ago. There was a period of frenzy in the football circle when clubs went public, and the British big clubs went public. Financing exhibitions, Italian teams do the same, and Italian owners preach that this is the new era of football rules, and other clubs will be outdated if they don't follow suit, and they will be eliminated by the times.

Listing, financing, the club has money, expands the lineup to strengthen its strength, and shareholders sit on the ground to share the spoils.

And 99% of the wealth that the club has absorbed from the financial market comes from its fans!

Only fans are interested in football club shares, and what the club is actually selling is fan loyalty.

However, in the middle of this, there will be a series of dirty things that are very despicable in the financial circle, and as long as experienced investors in the circle can be noticed.

Some club shareholders just want the team to go public, and then sell the shares, a windfall to leave, the real investment in the stock brokers, will not recommend their customers to buy this kind of football club shares.

And with the team's record not playing, the operating performance is linked to the value of the stock, and the stock will fall.

At this stage of O1, even fans, no matter how much they love their team, will rarely take the money to buy the team's stock, everyone knows that it is garbage! And it's easy to get scammed!

Who knows if the club will change hands tomorrow?

Leeds United is a team listed on the stock market, and once listed, the annual financial report will be announced, operating income and expenditure, whether it is profitable or losing, and the debt situation, is it reversed than before, or worse than before? These are clear at a glance.

If your business is on a downward trend, stocks will be even less valuable, and the banks that are borrowing will collect their debts, and other sources of financing will close their doors to you, and you will be in a desperate situation.

Aldridge didn't care to talk to Andrew about it, but now that he did, he remembered what it was like when he made a deal with Ritzdale.

"Talking and talking, I remembered, when Leeds United came to buy someone from me, I specifically asked someone to investigate the source of Leeds United's funds, Rietsdale is using Leeds United's income for the next 25 years as collateral, mainly ticket and TV broadcast revenue, mortgaged to insurance companies and banks, in exchange for 6ooo million pounds, I don't know what the specific interest is, I don't know, but the information that leaked out is one word: high."

Andrew was stunned when he heard this: "What did he pay back?" ”

Aldridge shrugged: "He's ambitious, in his opinion, Leeds United just need to make sure that they can play the Champions Cup every season, and it will not be difficult to repay the money, but it is not in time. ”

Andrew nodded, Leeds United did not catch up with the good time, the value of the player was speculated, on the other hand, the football economic bubble burst, between the two sides, Leeds United's exhibition plan can be described as a house leak coincided with overnight rain.

Aldridge's meaning is actually: after 1o years, 6ooo million pounds is an egg for the English team! Don't say that playing in the Champions League, as long as you are relegated every year, 6ooo million pounds, just relying on TV broadcasting, 3 seasons are appropriate.

Andrew also recalled the scene when he negotiated with Leeds United, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I didn't feel at ease, I just felt that Leeds United was really wealthy, Ferdinand's transfer treatment, I thought that the asking price of 35,000 pounds a week would have to be tied with the other party for a long time, but Leeds United offered a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds!" There are other players who have negotiated a higher deal than I intend to blackmail, and now that I think about it, Ritzdale has made a big move, and this is digging a grave for Leeds United! ”

Aldridge didn't want to hear Andrew talk about this at all, and he was upset when he said it.

Leeds United since O'Reilly coached, the first year played a highlight, the second year of borrowing to bring in strong reinforcements, the record is not as good as Millwall, even Manchester United is inferior, but everywhere is imitating the strong team style, like Millwall to the club to buy 5o cars of not low grade, Leeds United spends 6o pounds a year to lease more than 7o cars, the team everywhere, spending luxury.

Talking about Ferdinand's switch to Leeds United for a group of players, Aldridge didn't hate anyone in his heart, but he was a little helpless.

In this world, beating, scolding, and scolding can make a smile and enmity, but it can block people's financial paths, which will never die.

Remembering that Ferdinand kept saying in front of him that he chose to leave for the sake of his career, Aldridge would rather be a villain, believing that Ferdinand was for Leeds United's huge weekly salary.
