Sure enough, it didn't come out of Zhuk's expectation.
The next day, newspapers and magazines all over the UK published articles one after another about juke's threatened acquisition of Manchester United club, which were all front page headlines.
In particular, in the morning of that day, Zhuke's personal appointment with the president of Manchester United club made countless media excited.
"Headline! If it's not headline, then what else is headline! "ã Mitchell, the sun's external reporter, took the photo and jumped in place excitedly.
At this juncture, whoever grabs the photos first will win the sales!
Of course, Mitchell was very excited. After he took the photos, he immediately called a person in charge of the sun.
"Eddie, it's Mitchell!"
"News, of course, is big news! Is it big news that American entertainment tycoon Jack has an appointment with the president of Manchester United? Yes, right in front of my eyes. "
"Photos? Of course I have! "
"But how much can you give me? Man, I'm just an outside journalist, but I have a bottom line. 1000 pounds can't buy me off and tarnish my professional ethics! "
"No, no, no, I think 3000 is more in line with my price."
"If you don't like it, I'll contact old hodford of mirror magazine or pieno of Edinburgh now... Hahaha, you're smart, Eddie. This is big news
.......
In half an hour.
After finishing his talk with the president of Manchester United club, he boarded the car and quickly left the place surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
"Alexander, in my name, you will meet Mr. Thurman of the FA later to test the attitude of the FA." Zucker said in the car.
"OK, boss." Alexander responded.
If you want to buy the Premier League team, even the championship team and the top one team, the FA can't get around it.
For example, when purchasing NBA teams, the NBA official league has the right to stop trading operations at any time.
Therefore, if Zhuke wants to buy Manchester United, he must first find out the attitude of the FA. Otherwise, even if Zhuke and Manchester United shareholders reach a deal, once the FA opposes, the deal will be declared invalid.
In 2003, Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea was delayed for three years because of the opposition of the fans, but the delay of the FA is also the key.
"I don't want to lose the deal because of the FA's problems!"
After returning to the hotel, Zhuke's acquisition team comprehensively introduced the acquisition plan and details to Zhuke.
Money must be the key!
"Boss, Arsenal won the Premier League in 1997-98, but even so, the market value of Manchester United is the highest among all the clubs in the Premier League." Zhang Wei, a barrister, said.
Chuck waved his hand: "how much do you need?"
"400-600 million pounds!"
Hearing the speech, Rao Shizhu Ke had made an early estimate, and he couldn't help talking at this moment.
"There are so many of them!"
Besides Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other Premier League teams, the market value of an ordinary Premier League team in 1998 was about 100 million pounds.
In 2003, Abramovich bought Chelsea at a cost of 230 million pounds, of which 80 million pounds was used to repay the team's debts. That is to say, the real cost of purchasing Chelsea was 150 million pounds.
Teams at the end of the Premier League, such as Coventry and Southampton, have a much smaller market value, which is worth 70 million pounds.
Manchester United's price is much higher than the average Premier League team.
"Boss, we don't have so much cash reserves, but we can complete the acquisition of Manchester United by means of financing and leveraged buyout." Zhang Wei suggested.
Zucker nodded to make it clear.
In fact, in 2007, the Glazer family of the United States leverage the financial market with us $100 million by means of financing and leveraged buyout, and reached the acquisition of Manchester United.
Of course, this kind of financial means has advantages and disadvantages!
The advantage is that it costs less money in the early stage;
The disadvantages are also obvious, that is to pay off huge debts every year;
In 2007, after the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, the funds used by Manchester United for transfer fee decreased year by year. As a result, the attraction of Manchester United in the big stars far lagged behind the two big clubs in La Liga. Moreover, it also directly affected the departure of Ronaldo.
To put it bluntly, it's all money!
Do you have any money?
Of course, it's rich!
However, it is impossible for Zhuke to use all the working capital and personal savings of Golden Dawn entertainment group to buy Manchester United club, which will have a great malignant impact on the operation of the group in the next few years.
ââLeveraged buyout!
Zhuke does not rule out the use of this means!
After all, this is only a financial means, and it does not violate the law and morality.
.......
In the following days, he met several senior executives of the FA and talked with them about the development plan of the club after the acquisition of Manchester United.
However, the result is not ideal!
At least 60% of the senior members of the FA hold clear opposition.
FIFA Secretary General dotianger: "I don't deny that Zucker Wald is excellent. He has gained such amazing wealth in just over two years. No one can say that he can't do it, but football is football after all. I can't believe him on this point."
Tommy levanski, vice president of the Executive Committee of the FA, also objected.
"Zucker Wald is too young to be a qualified club president because of his previous experience
Well, most of the top people are against it.
Even the representatives of the royal family in the FA are strongly against it!
"Manchester United is the most valuable team in the Premier League and the most famous football club in the world. It is a symbol and pride of our English football. I can't believe what a bad situation it will be when it is handed over to a young man!"
"Of course, it may be more brilliant, but the probability rate will go to the bottom, even death!"
"Friends, we can't afford this gamble!"
In this way, the FA's first voting meeting on Juncker's acquisition of Manchester United ended with 72% of the negative votes.
In private, some of the FA's top officials even sneer at Zhuke and call him "hairy boy".
"Damn it!"
There's something wrong with juke!
I was humiliated!
In Europe, the FA is notoriously inefficient. It often takes a long time, even as long as two years, to vote at one time. However, when it comes to Zucker's turn, the vote ends in just a few days!
Clean and neat in rare times.
What is this for?!
"Too much deception!" Zucker's really pissed off.
The fourth watch is on.
