Chapter 91 Leeds United in Debt Crisis
Just when Li Rui was confused about his future, in Leeds, a criticism meeting that seemed to have nothing to do with him was going on.

The "find the real culprit" plan, jointly initiated by Leeds United's shareholders, was proposed at Tuesday's annual shareholders meeting.Although it was raining heavily in Leeds on this day, the anger of nearly 300 Leeds shareholders made the entire general meeting agitated.

Most of the shareholders first pointed the finger at the former club chairman McKenzie, thinking that he "fabricated a lot of lies" but "skillfully took away the reward for failure" and was a "low-energy and extremely stupid person". However, no matter what, the former chairman, when he was in office, the fact that Leeds United quickly completed the Champions League semi-finals and became a relegation team cannot be concealed.

After that, the shareholders of the Leeds United Club began to question the club's operating problems again, believing that the shareholders had the right to know how Leeds lost money.You must know that in the past financial year, Leeds' losses reached 8000 million pounds, with an average weekly deficit of 95.2 pounds.How this huge sum of money was lost is indeed a question that should be studied.

Shareholders are only partially aware of why.According to the report of Leeds United's financial director Neil Robson, the Leeds club still bears some "bad debts", such as Fowler's salary.This buddy has already moved to Manchester City since January last year. However, Fowler still has to take part of his salary from Leeds until June 1. The total amount is as high as 2006 million pounds.What makes shareholders even more angry is that even if Fowler moves again, Leeds will continue to pay the money.

In addition, the former chairman of Leeds United, Rizdale has also been greatly criticized. According to the "Sun" broke the news, when the old gentleman was the chairman of Leeds United, his office cost 20 pounds a day to rent fish, while During his tenure, Leeds' administrative expenditure exceeded £600 million a year.

However, no matter what, Leeds United's debt of up to 8000 million pounds is already a fact. Now, what we have to do is how to repay the debt as much as possible, at least part of it, otherwise, after the end of the season, once Leeds United If they are relegated, they will most likely be directly relegated to the English First Division.

After persuading most of the minority shareholders to temporarily extinguish their anger and leave, the major shareholders of Leeds United sat around in the conference room and discussed the future of Leeds United. The torrential rain outside the window seemed to herald the gray future of Leeds United.

The current Leeds United CEO Birch, who once staged a good show of returning to life at Chelsea, spoke first, "Everyone, let's speak freely below and think of a way."

There was a moment of silence, no one spoke, nonsense, now, even if God comes, he can’t save Leeds United. Of course, if God is willing to inject capital, let’s talk about it. Now, everyone knows that the best thing that can save Leeds United The best way is to sell the big-name players of the club, but no one is willing to say this suggestion first. After all, if the fans know who made it first, then they will be able to bear it.

Just being silent like this is not an option, Birch glanced at the treasurer Neil Robson, "Neil, do you have any good news?"

The shareholders who have been pretending to be dumb have come to their senses. Everyone knows what this good news refers to. It is nothing more than an offer from those guys who are waving checks and waiting to eat the cake of Leeds United. This is not about selling stars , just discussing financial issues, I have to say, this is really a science.

Now, the biggest star in the Leeds United team is the 28-year-old Australian striker Viduka. The clubs that like Viduka include not only the Premier League champions Manchester United, but also the Italian giants Inter Milan. Both of them tried to loan the Australian before. , but with no success.I believe that when the summer transfer window opens, Manchester United and Inter Milan will definitely not let go of the great opportunity in front of them, while Middlesbrough and Lazio are also eyeing the sidelines.

Treasurer Neil Robson had already kept these materials in his heart, and he frowned, "Middlesbrough offered £1100 million for the Australian~"

The words of the treasurer Neil Robson caused an uproar in the meeting room. Since Neil Robson only mentioned Middlesbrough, it means that this offer is the highest offer. At this time, the player There is no need to consider his personal wishes anymore, what the club wants is to sell at a high price.

"This bunch of shit, why don't you go rob the bank!" Some shareholders were annoyed. You know, during the winter break, Viduka was still worth 2000 million pounds. Now, other clubs see that Leeds United seems to be relegated. , and at the same time deeply in debt crisis, just waiting for the Leeds United Star Supermarket to open for business, and the price is also kept very low.

Treasurer Neil Robson went on to say that Manchester United offered Alan Smith 1000 million pounds. Manchester City's head coach Keegan seemed interested in stepping into Robinson. Manchester City's offer for the former England goal was 700 million pounds~
Neil Robson's words caused commotion again. You know, this is at least 1500 million pounds less than half a year ago. Can this not make shareholders angry?

In the end, the shareholder meeting was nothing. After the resentful people left, Birch left behind Neil Robson, the financial director. Just now, he noticed that Neil Robson wanted to say something, so he hesitated. All of a sudden, still did not say.

"Neil, you can talk now." Birch turned on the lighter and casually toasted a cigar. Since he became the CEO of Leeds United, he has really worked hard.

"Mr. Bates, intends to buy the club." Neil Robson said.

"How much?" Burch asked. Of course he was familiar with his boss when he was at Chelsea, but it didn't mean that Burch approved of this Australian boss who liked empty hands. Sufficient vigilance.

"4000 million pounds..." Neil Robson reported the figure.

Birch was stunned. The quotation was not too high, but it was beyond his expectation. You know, this was only a preliminary quotation. If the transaction was completed, it would definitely be higher than this price. Could it be that Bates The second time is serious, willing to spend money?

"You are responsible for further contact with that side." Birch made a decision, "Remember to contact the Football Association for a while. A Premier League team is under trusteeship, and penalty points are relegated. It is unacceptable."

Neil Robson nodded. Of course he understands these powerful relationships, but everyone knows that the first condition for the FA to intervene is that Leeds United remain in the Premier League team after the end of the season! !

"Here, there are still a few quotations." Leeds United's financial director looked a little weird, "Do you still remember the Chinese player we loaned to Frankfurt? The Frankfurter proposed a buyout offer of 500 million euros, but~"

Neil Robson paused for a while, "Here is another quotation, 750 million euros..."

PS: Yesterday, I don’t know which brother voted for 4 reminder votes for Chapter 12000, thank you Xiao Qi, but it’s really not that much more.

Let’s be honest, the book is overwhelmed, and now it seems that it is impossible to put it on the shelves, which means that Xiaoqi has to live without income, and I also thought about ending it quickly. If I do this, other Needless to say, friends who have written books will definitely understand the difficulties.

But, think about it, I can't do that, I'm a little sorry for the friends who have always supported Xiaoqi, and I will try my best to persevere.

The poor grades are caused by many factors, most of which are my own reasons. I also know that the previous part of the domestic plot is really a failure, but it is already like this, so it is useless to talk about it.

If you don’t have a collection, you must remember to collect it, do your best to obey the destiny, and a clear conscience is enough.
