PS: I had a low-grade fever at night for 3 days in a row, and I finally didn't have a fever today! But I can't sit down, I can't stand up, it's really uncomfortable, I hate him! The state is not good, forgive me!

On May 7, the new Premier League champions beat Charlton Athletic by one goal in the 37th round of games after the victory over the Red Devils Manchester United, Jonker did not play, and Chelsea responded with a full bench lineup.

Before the final battle of the Premier League, there was no suspense for the championship, and the biggest suspense was the relegation battle, but a sudden event attracted people's attention.

The Red Devils Manchester United were bought by American capital.

May 16 MANCHESTER. The London stock market opened on Monday, and American businessman Fraser already controlled more than 75% of Manchester United's shares. In other words, Manchester United, founded in 1878, has been completely reduced to the private property of the Glazers. It is reported that the acquisition of Glazer cost a total of 790 million pounds (1.047 billion US dollars).

With a 75 per cent stake, Glazer has been able to remove United, a joint-stock company, from the London stock market, and he can already announce any plans of the club as he pleases, without the approval of any other shareholders.

It remains unclear whether the Glazer is interested in continuing with his takeover, increasing his stake from 75 per cent to 90 per cent, a figure that would mean he could expel United's other minority shareholders from the board.

On Thursday. Glazer announced that he had acquired a 28.7% stake from the club's two largest shareholders, two Irish racing tycoons, Magnier and McManus, bringing his stake to 56.9%. Glazer then struck while the iron was hot, and continued to absorb shares through the guò stock market and other means, and finally reached 75% by Monday.

The British Evening Standard has described Monday as a judgment day for Manchester United, and now that the Glazers are finally here, Red Devils fans need to face the reality of a layman they think doesn't understand football. A "Yankee" with a debt of 300 million to buy Manchester United sat in the boss's office.

Some United fans have called for a boycott of Glazer to buy shares for more than the 300p per share offered by the Glazers, but their capital cannot be compared to that of the Americans. Analysts believe that Glazer successfully holds 75% of the case. Others are already powerless.

The flag of English football, the incomparably glorious Red Devils empire, has finally "fallen" under the continuous onslaught of the Glazers, and the Glazer has stated that he wants to keep Ferguson. Maintain the integrity of Manchester United. He said that he would spend 20 million pounds a year to help Ferguson buy players, and at the same time transfer the title of Old Trafford stadium and sell TV broadcasts separately to bring money to the club, but how to make up for the 300 million pounds he owes to buy Manchester United will be the first problem he needs to face.

What awaits Manchester United is an unknown fate.

No matter what others say about this acquisition, Manchester United fans are gone!

Holding more than 75%. The Glazer still crossed the "Rubicon" of the acquisition (Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in central Italy in 49 BC). set off a civil war).

But Manchester United fans seem to have no intention of resting: the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for the FA Cup final at the weekend is their final battleground. But before the head-on confrontation, the Glazer once again made overtures to the fans. Giggs's contract renewal dragged on for a year, and the Americans came and immediately made a decision: two years! The elders of the Red Dynasty are expected to hang up their boots at Old Trafford in 2008 (if it were still called Old Trafford at that time).

Before coming, the Americans had done two things they could do – to appease the leadership and to appease the team's heroes. The state of affairs is developing in a rational way, in the direction that the British expect, who would be so stupid to throw 800 million pounds into a bloody storm as soon as it comes up?

The anger and panic of Manchester United fans will not be able to be dissipated in the short term, and several major fan groups have been slow to respond to the takeover, and they must be very sorry that they did not take the initiative in the hands of Barcelona's "Blue Elephants" (the opposition bloc formed to oppose former Barcelona president Nunez, of which the current president Laporta is also a member).

The two meetings between Manchester United and Barcelona in the 1998-99 season were not only rare classics in the history of the Champions Cup, but also a moment of joy for the fans of both teams. Manchester United finally beat Bayern Munich in Campano to win the cup, which made the fans of both sides feel like brothers. At that time, the Blue Elephant asked Houston, the chairman of Manchester United's Fan Shareholders Association: "Our Laporta will become the president of the club in the future. Is it possible for you? ”

Houston was speechless with surprise. Barcelona's membership system determines that they will never be harassed by the Glazers, and the democratic management with high fan participation ensures that Barcelona is still the only club in football to keep its jersey pure. Manchester United fans are complacent in Nike jerseys with "Vodafone", so what qualifications do they have to take the moral high ground in front of the American money?

The media's attitude towards the Glazers was not monolithic, and most of the newspapers were in a mixed tone, with the most scolding being the Telegraph, of which Hansen was one of the columnists, who pointed out bluntly: "The Glazer will ruin our football!" 'His views have gone beyond Manchester United and risen to the level of the survival of English football. The Times, on the other side of the spectrum, played the matter quite positively. The two newspapers are also at loggerheads on many other issues. However, it should be noted that The Times is one of Murdoch's major newspapers, and both he and Gray are Jewish.

The anger of the fans is a matter of vital interest, and the demonization of the Glazer by the media is an indirect reflection of the humiliation of national pride.

Britain was once the world's processing factory, and 'Made in Britain' was once a symbol of quality and tradition.

At that time, Queen Victoria proudly declared: "My empire will never see the sunset!" "What pride and majesty that was. The contribution of the British Industrial Revolution to the world, English became the most popular language. Let the British still think that "Lao Tzu is the best in the world" in their bones to this day. After the vicissitudes of the world, Britain's national power was declining after the two world wars, and not only could they no longer make British goods sell all over the world. On the contrary, its own market is flooded with imported goods from all continents. Football is the last place for the British to maintain national pride, and Manchester United, full of tragedy and romance, is the last bastion of this position.

England rejected the World Cup in the 30s and the Champions Cup in the 50s, never admitting that the outside world was wonderful. In addition to losing overseas territories and domestic markets one after another, they can tolerate their brand-name car factories and castle mansions being bought by outsiders, and they can tolerate their clothing, food, housing and transportation being controlled by foreign goods. But football is the last line of defense for their pride, and Americans who don't know anything about football actually borrow money to buy their beloved, this shame is like a Japanese advertisement on the Great Wall!

Abu's takeover of Chelsea was initially painful for the British. But the Russians were very much in line with the British taste for extravagant pomp. Abobou has invested heavily at Chelsea to make English players the heart of the team, which in the eyes of the British has a bit of a taste of spending money to curry favor with.

Now. Glazer was scolded before he even arrived at the port. It has something to do with him and Murdoch, who attempted to buy Manchester United. Jews have long been synonymous with miserliness and mercenary in the eyes of white people, and it is not difficult to see from Shakespeare's Shylock that Jews have been demonized as early as the Middle Ages. The only way to lift the question mark over whether the Glazer can win the understanding and even the favor of the British like Abu is through excellent results.

The American tycoon Glazer's takeover of Manchester United was met with unanimous opposition from fans and media, and the Americans borrowed heavily from some banks and foundations to buy Manchester United, thus saddling Manchester United with a foreign debt of nearly 300 million pounds, so that the team's profits in the coming years will basically be used to pay off the debt.

But who are the most indebted clubs in the Premier League? It's not Manchester United, it's their long-time rivals Arsenal. Manchester United and Arsenal. The leaders of the two Premier League fixtures are also the biggest debtors in the league, and the upcoming FA Cup final can also be seen as a debt derby.

Arsenal in order to build their new stadium. With $380 million in debt, while Manchester United protested against the Glazers, no Arsenal fans objected to Highbury borrowing money. This is mainly due to the fact that United do not have any debts at the moment, but this is not the case with Glazer himself, who has spent his life borrowing and repaying money. Glazer used to say that it's like buying a house and you can only afford it if you borrow money first. This is the rational way to invest.

Of the 790 million money Glazer paid for Manchester United, 272 million came from family funds, 275 million from the issuance of securities and 265 million from bank loans, which were pledged against Manchester United's assets. The interest on these loans is 7 per cent, and United now have to repay £18.5 million a year for benefits alone, or £51,000 a day. Dividends for existing stockholders will fall further. If you add the preferred shares, the amount rises to £126,000 a day, which will be the biggest burden for Glazer. Over the next two years, Manchester United's debt will rise from $275 million to $345 million.

The mountain will force the Glazers to speed up their own commercial development, with smaller moves being higher stadium prices, followed by more sponsorships, and also a need to accelerate the pace of market development, especially in Asia. Manchester United's ticket price hike may bring sweetness, but a star like Rio Ferdinand's contract extension will have a huge impact on United's future. If Manchester United fail to qualify for the Champions League group stage, it will be disastrous for the Glazers. It will be a question of whether he will be able to come up with the promised £20 million a season transfer fee.

Arsenal are also in debt, but mainly focused on building a stadium that will greatly strengthen the Gunners' finances, although until then the Gunners have had to spend a penny. Glazer's current debtor rival is Arsenal, and its future profitable rival is also Arsenal.

Who would have thought that such a scene would be staged before the final game of the Premier League.

However, Chelsea were comfortable and secured a 1-1 draw away from Newcastle with an all-substitute line-up.

The final relegation battle can be described as ups and downs, West Brom relegated?

Few would dare to believe it, but it is, West Bromwich Albion's thrilling run in 2004/05 is quite rare in the history of Premier League football and even international football, but the miracle did happen in the final round.

West Brom can celebrate that they can still stay in the top flight for one more season, as no team in Premier League history has finished bottom around Christmas to survive at the end of the season. But after these 90 minutes of ups and downs. The "Adventures of West Brom" finally came to a successful conclusion, and a miracle was born.

It was also perhaps the most tense moment in Premier League history, with no relegation confirmed until the final round.

Southampton, Norwich City, Crystal Palace and West Brom all have a chance of relegation, but only one team can survive.

The status of the top league, and the very different financial situation, is the reason why they can fight despite the odds.

And these 90 minutes are still worth looking back on: 38 rounds of 10 Premier League matches kicked off at the same time. In the relegation battle, Norwich only need to win to take their destiny into their own hands.

15:10: At Craven Villa Stadium, Norwich City is the first to be frustrated. McBride's low shot from the right side of the penalty area opened the scoring, but the Norwich fans who accompanied the team still did not give up cheering for the team;

Brian Robson, maybe West Brom fans should have erected a statue at Hawthorn Stadium to show their respect. Brian Robson has made a name for himself in his career at Manchester United, winning numerous trophies for the Red Devils, enjoying a revered reputation at Old Trafford, and he captained the England squad for a long time.

During his days as a professional footballer, he also earned the nickname "Captain Miracle". But who would have thought that Brian Robson would single-handedly save a dying West Bromwich Albion? Especially since taking over on November 9, West Brom have not won a single game in 12 games until January 22. But now he's enough to earn another nickname - "Coach Miracle".

Bryan Robson said after the game: "We always felt like we had a chance to turn things around. We said before the game that today's game is about everyone and today will decide where we go. Since we started turning things around this year, we have worked hard as one. Gioff [Hossfeld] scored a crucial goal and that represented the spirit of our players. Horsfield laughed after the game: "Everybody thought we were going to fuck off, but we proved everybody wrong, we did something stupid. ”

United boss Alex Ferguson was also pleased with his favourite, saying: "I'm really happy for Brian, he's got a good experience at Middlesbrough, but maybe he should stay a little longer. However, the club [Middlesbrough] did not win his heart, and if he is put to good use, he may be a man who can make them a great club. (To be continued......)
