American Fortune Life

Arsenal is one of the largest clubs in the Premier League. Since the establishment of the club, it has won 13 championships in England's top leagues, 13 championships in the FA Cup, and 3 championships in the English Premier League. The club with the longest stay in the Football League.

All fans, I am afraid that there is no one who does not know this Premier League team, but it is such an awesome Premier League team, a frequent visitor to the Champions League, but has never won a Champions League championship. Because since Wenger coached, Arsenal have been able to qualify for the Champions League in all previous seasons. It is no problem to participate in the Champions League to make money for the club, but they just missed the championship.

Of course, he is also known for being stingy. Andy is very optimistic about this team and has the ability to buy this club, but after reading the information, he loses his appetite. The board of directors of this club is very stupid. Andy Money doesn't want to be wasted on a bunch of greedy vampires.

Arsenal Club is currently valued at 432 million pounds, or about 560 million U.S. dollars. The price is not bad. After all, it has its own new stadium and world-renowned reputation there, but if it wants to acquire more than 70% of the shares, Andy Money needs to cost much more money than the valuation, and the resistance will be very high. Moreover, the shares are too scattered. There are really many people coveting this club. Recently, F1 "Chief Director" Bernie Ecclestone He said that he is very interested in acquiring the Premier League giants Arsenal Club, and Wal-Mart's son-in-law, sports management giant Kroenke has also joined the pursuit of Arsenal's acquisition.

Andy, who was in contention, didn't have much to worry about, as long as the price wasn't too outrageous, it was acceptable. What's more, the board of directors of the current Arsenal club passed a resolution after kicking out the original director, and the current Arsenal club board will The former club may not be sold. In other words, if you have money, you have to wait. Even if you buy shares now, you will be excluded by the board of directors. Only when more than 90% of the shares are acquired can Andy compulsorily acquire all the outstanding shares to complete 100% ownership.

Thinking of the long road to acquisitions and repeated negotiations, Andy really didn't want to deal with a group of rigid, stubborn Brits with an inexplicable sense of superiority. Moreover, Arsenal won with Wenger and lost with Wenger. Arsenal's position is so stable, playing Jinyuan football may not necessarily be good, especially the current Arsenal team is completely young, even if they take over by themselves, the changes will not be too big.

Another club that Andy is optimistic about is Tottenham Hotspur. As a well-known Labor Party team, Tottenham has economic conditions comparable to the four giants, but some of them have always hovered outside the giants. Although there are many stars under his command, the team's record has been ups and downs like a roller coaster. After reading the information, Andy knows that Tottenham spent a total of 40 million pounds this summer to reinforce. It has been opened, but Tottenham really did not spend less money.

However, they failed to improve on the basis of the 5th place last season as expected, posing a challenge to the traditional top 4 of the Premier League.

In the first round of the season, Tottenham made the fans shatter their glasses. They were defeated by the newly promoted Sunderland in the away game, and lost 3 of the next 5 games. It will be a matter of time before the current head coach gets out of class.

Many people mistakenly believe that Tottenham Chairman Levy is the owner of the club. In fact, Tottenham is controlled by the British consortium Enic Investment Company, and the real boss is the billionaire Joe Lewis, the president of Enic Investment Company. Levy, the Jewish owner who owned a small stake in Enic's company, was a friend of Lewis.

In July 2003, a turning point in the development history of the Premier League happened: Abramovich came.

Abramovich, the legendary Russian rich man, pointed his finger at Stamford Bridge. Then, more foreigners, Americans, Icelanders, and Thais came with huge checks. As of now, half of the Premier League teams have fallen into the hands of foreign owners, and the US dollar and Thai baht are flocking to the Premier League like a tide. The revolutionary storm came suddenly, but from the very beginning, it was vigorous.

In the tide, Chelsea relied on the ruble offensive to instantly subvert the traditional order of the Premier League established by Ferguson and Wenger throughout their lives. Mourinho thus became a specific hero of this specific era.

As a result of Liverpool being acquired by the Americans, three of the four major Premier League giants are already under the control of foreign capital. As for Arsenal, which is currently the only one controlled by the British, it has also become the target of foreign capital acquisitions. Kroenke's acquisition of Arsenal is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

With the advent of the subprime mortgage crisis, Joe Lewis, who made his fortune on investment and stock futures, also suffered a lot of losses, especially when the British financial market entered September. The government did not care about it, which directly led to the market's thirst for cash. Joe Lewis is not jealous It is impossible for Liverpool, which made a lot of money before, and Arsenal, the sworn enemy in North London, to be acquired by foreign capital.

In 2001, he spent 22 million pounds to buy Tottenham. If it can be acquired by a foreign consortium this time, so that his Enic investment company can ease the cash flow, he is absolutely happy to see it.

So last month, news revealed by the "Daily Mirror" pointed out that Tottenham coach Levy was very interested in the possibility of the club being acquired by a foreign consortium. The current value of the Tottenham club is about 400 million pounds. The start of the season was sluggish, but they are in very good financial shape.

It was announced that the club had a liquidity of £103.1 million and a profit of £32 million, both figures new club highs. The club also intends to buy nearby land to expand Egret Lane from 36,000 seats to 52,000 seats.

Andy is quite helpless about Tottenham's lion's big mouth. The key is that the bastard son-in-law of Wal-Mart actually pushed Arsenal's valuation to 1 billion pounds in order to fight against competitors, making Tottenham want to kill big players , Unfortunately, the world is caught in the subprime mortgage crisis, and even Wal-Mart's son-in-law has delayed the pace of acquisitions when the cash is starved for cash. Naturally, no one cares about Tottenham, a club that is not even a wealthy club. In the face of media inquiries, Tottenham stated that they were not aware of and had not received any bids from the consortium for the club.

The price of 400 million pounds is definitely unacceptable to Andy. Even if the club's liquidity is 103.1 million pounds, it will still require Andy to spend a high price of 300 million pounds to acquire Tottenham. It cost 200 million pounds. Well, although there is a factor of him in exile who gave up money to buy asylum, the price of Tottenham is still inflated. However, as long as there is an intention to sell, it is a good thing. No need to trouble, negotiate Just face a Joe Lewis, whose company owns 82% of the club.

He bought the team to make his asset investment ratio more reasonable, not to spend money to buy fame or play live football. The reason why he entered the Premier League is mainly because the Premier League can really make money , As long as they can enter the Champions League, the club can play gold dollar football completely self-sufficient, and the more important thing is that Andy, a fake fan, found Gareth Bale's name in the Tottenham player list.

Nima, this is a big walking diamond with a worth of 91 million euros. Thinking about it, Andy feels happy. Although he is a fake football fan, he has no problem watching football, but he doesn't understand real professional things, but he knows That player in the future is famous and valuable, that’s enough, buy one at a cheap price, and then sell one at a sky-high price, my God, I’m excited just thinking about it, there’s nothing wrong with the player supermarket!

Andy was dreaming of his player supermarket, and rushed to the Newsweek Building. As soon as he entered the office, he gave Granada, the person in charge of the sports investment company he was currently in charge of, and asked him to bring the person in charge of the football project over.

Abramovich also mentioned to Andy on the phone that in 2003, he also considered buying Tottenham, but the former England national team coach Eriksson persuaded Abramovich if he wanted to win the league championship. , then buy Chelsea, because he only needs to replace half of the team. At that time, if he bought Tottenham, he might have to replace the entire team lineup.

However, the current Tottenham can rank fifth in the league. I have to say that the development of Tottenham in the past few years is still quite good. Perhaps it is a good choice to enter White Hart Lane by yourself. Abramovich can be regarded as a friend, and he will become an ally of Chelsea, who is isolated and helpless in the Premier League. The arch enemy is also Arsenal in North London. The gold content will be greater, and it will also focus the attention of fans all over the world on the Premier League.

He Andy Smith will also thoroughly enter the eyes of 3.5 billion fans around the world, and promote the sales of his products and his novels, which is simply stronger than any advertisement. He is not like Abu who is worried all day long, afraid of being settled after the fall, so he spends money desperately to buy fame and increase influence. What Andy Smith wants is to exchange fame and influence for a green knife, to play fans Economy, there is always no shortage of fans who chase stars for various reasons in this world.

Thinking of this, Andy held the coffee and sipped lightly, as if thinking of the future he could see, he couldn't help grinning.

So when Granada, the person in charge of the sports investment company, came in and sat down with his staff, Andy's first words were, "I want to be in White Hart Lane!"
