Chapter 752 inside and outside

   Chapter 752

   They are all people in the London football circle. Of course, the acquisition of Chelsea can’t be hidden, but the matter on Abu’s side has not been finalized, just a little bit of wind has come out.

   Wenger only heard about it, but did not know the specific situation.

   But David Dane should know, after all, he has more information than himself.

Sure enough, after hearing Wenger’s question, David Dane smiled slightly, “Well, there is indeed such a thing. Let me tell you this, with the new owners of Chelsea and Arsenal, the pattern of the Premier League next year will change! This is Two new bosses, that’s…really rich!”

   Wenger is still a little unconvinced. No matter how rich he is, how rich can he be?

   Will Arsenal and Chelsea have more money than Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona in the future?

   This is totally impossible!

   No matter how rich the boss is, he can’t stand the huge investment of the club every year. Look at the Moratti family of Inter Milan. In order to maintain the continuous high investment of the club, the family is about to go bankrupt…

   “Who is the new boss, the super rich in England?” Wenger asked.

   But for this issue, David Dane kept his mouth shut and did not leak it to Wenger.

   He just said: “Wait for a while and we will find out, and the new boss will naturally come over to show up. I can’t reveal his identity yet, but he will definitely give you a surprise!”

   In fact, Wang Ye brought more than one surprise to Wenger…

  …

   As Katya led the acquisition team to London, and after meeting with Abu’s professional team, Katya officially took over all the work of acquiring Arsenal.

  David Dane also came to the hotel where Katja and the others were staying, and had secret talks several times behind closed doors.

   Meanwhile, the Premier League is still in full swing.

  Arsenal played against a team in the lower and middle of the league, but before the game, there was bad news.

  The two generals in the team, Henry and Vieira, were unable to play. One was eating and eating badly, and the other was accidentally falling off the bed while sleeping and hurting his waist.

   As soon as these two are absent, the team’s strength is greatly reduced, so even the middle and lower reaches of the team did not win, and lost a small 0:1.

  Although nothing can be decided in this game, anyway, the team has already lost its hope of winning the championship and will not fall out of the top three.

   But this also means that the club is empty-handed again this season and has not won any championships.

  Perhaps, this is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

   On the board of directors of the club, the minority shareholders could no longer hide their frustration and complained one after another.

   “Could this coach Wenger be able to do it! We invested a lot in transfers last summer. We introduced several players at high prices, but this year we got nothing.”

   The so-called “a lot of investment” by this shareholder means that the club gave Wenger a transfer fee of more than 10 million pounds last year, which met Wenger’s team building requirements.

   “That’s right, the first half of the season was good, but the second half of the season fell apart at the beginning of the season. Hey, the results are not good, there is no breakthrough in the Champions League, and the club’s finances are so tight, it’s difficult to handle.”

   Another shareholder also said with dismay.

  Listening to everyone’s complaints, David Dane sat there with an expressionless face.

   This kind of scene has long been accustomed to him, and it happens often.

   After everyone complained, he opened his mouth and said:

   “I think it’s time to find a powerful major shareholder for the club.

  Only relying on us shareholders, the club can no longer support it.

   Now someone must be willing to invest money in the club, and it has to be a large amount of money, hundreds of millions of pounds!

  Because the loan alone is worth tens of millions of pounds, it has become a heavy burden for our club.

  If this loan is not repaid in one day, then the financial situation of the club will not improve, and naturally there will be no funds to invest in the transfer market. If the team is not strengthened, of course, there will be no good results. This is the beginning of a vicious cycle…”

   If it was put in the past, there may be people who are unwilling to give up the shares in their hands, and still have a little illusion.

   But as the team’s performance continues to be sluggish, especially after losing the latest game, some shareholders can’t hold it anymore.

   Someone said: “I also agree with David’s proposal, but now where can I find someone to buy the club. In recent years, various industries have been in recession, and large investments are rare, especially in football.”

David Dane said unhurriedly: “I have been considering this matter, and I have also contacted some prospective investors. However, if someone else buys the club, it must be a wholly-owned acquisition, it is impossible to buy only a part of the shares, and then There is a mess of people on the board of directors, and their opinions cannot be unified. Now, if someone is willing to offer a good price, will everyone be willing to give up their shares?”

  Before, David Dane had privately communicated with several shareholders.

  So, after David Dane asked this sentence, someone immediately made a “cooperation”.

   A shareholder asked excitedly: “Is anyone really willing to buy our club? What is the price? If the price is right, then my shares will be the first to be transferred!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another shareholder also said quickly: “Don’t fight with me, as long as the price is good, let me be the first to transfer the shares. Everyone knows that my family’s company is in poor operating condition, and I can’t hold it any longer. Now, just waiting to transfer the club’s shares for some money to save the family company.”

  With such two leaders, other shareholders could not sit still.

   said that there is absolutely no problem in selling shares, it depends on the price.

   As long as the price is right, everyone agrees to sell their shares.

   Of course, not everyone is willing to transfer their shares. One or two shareholders have objections and do not agree to sell their shares.

   However, the proportion of shares in their hands is very low, which does not affect the acquisition at all.

Moreover, it is not up to them to decide whether to sell or not. When the proportion of shares acquired by Wangye reaches more than 75%, privatization can be started directly. At that time, you have to sell, and you have to sell if you don’t. !

  Because this is stipulated by law, the major shareholders have the right to kick out!

  …

   The long-planned acquisition was finally clarified at this board meeting.

  After intense discussions, all shareholders agreed that as long as the club’s valuation is not less than 150 million pounds, everyone agrees to sell their shares!

   Of course, the club’s debts and so on, the old shareholders will leave it alone and leave it to the new owner to deal with it.

   Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, the acquisition is finally close to success!
