Chapter 115 The League Ends (Part 2)

psyi: Please click here to collect and recommend, thank you

ps2: After get off work, I had supper outside, but it seemed that I had a stomachache. I ran to the toilet at night, and I had a cup of tea.

As the curtain of the 2oo3o4 season British League slowly fell, the rankings of twenty British teams in the league standings were completely determined. After seeing the league rankings of the teams they supported, the fans of each team are also in different moods at this moment.

Let’s first talk about the three unlucky guys who were unfortunately relegated. The strong rise of Tottenham and Chelsea this season not only changed the original championship pattern in the UK, but also turned the battle for the league championship from a two-man game between Manchester United and Arsenal before to a 4-game chess, but also made the league relegation battle this season even more tragic. You should know that before the start of the final round of the UK, Everton scored 36 points, Leeds United scored 34 points, Wolves scored 33 points and Leicester City scored 33 points!

It is precisely because of this that the relegation battle in the British League this season has become extremely fierce. Everton and four teams who are also aware of this point have tried their best in the game to compete for the last relegation place!

This is also the main reason why Wolves players did not choose to accept it when facing Tottenham's show of goodwill. Because no matter how many goals they lost to Tottenham, they would definitely bid farewell to the British arena, who were already tied for the bottom of Leicester City in the standings. Since that's the case, it's better to let go, and maybe they can still win the chance of yi for themselves!

However, facts have proved that although the Wolfs players' struggle with fate is commendable, their final outcome was quite miserable, with a crushing defeat to five in the game. This was definitely an extremely painful experience for the Wolfs.

After learning that Tottenham, who had already locked in the league runner-up in advance, did not choose to let go in the last game, but beat Wolves away to 5, Everton coach Moyester called George after the game and expressed his gratitude to George with great sincerity. After all, for any English team, no matter what the price they paid, they will do their best to stay in the British arena, rather than relegating to the secondary league at the end of the season.

After all, the league relegation matter is not only related to the club's reputation and attractiveness to players, but also has a profound impact on the club's financial situation since the 22 English League One clubs decided to break away from the management of the FA and establish a British company and operate the British League by themselves. The British club has become increasingly disparate in terms of fiscal revenue from other teams in England's leagues, especially in the TV broadcast revenue. You should know that the TV broadcast contract signed by the British company in Oyi was about 1.56 billion pounds in three years, which is far from the total amount of TV broadcast fees in other English leagues in the same period!

Therefore, even if you want to pay for your own expenses, all teams that enter the UK will rack their brains to avoid being relegated from England. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When you are used to spending money like flowing water in the UK, you will suddenly return to the League One League, where the broadcast fee is not as high as the British. The huge financial pressure alone is enough to destroy any club with insufficient wealth.

The most typical example is West Ham United, which was unfortunately relegated last season. After being relegated to the League One with the highest points in history, the Hammers Gangs have cut a lot of expenses by selling team players and obtained a large transfer income, even so, West Ham United has not been able to recover, and the campaign this season ended in failure. This further deepened the financial pressure of West Ham United, forcing West Ham United executives to continue to sell these high-quality resources in exchange for the necessary funds to maintain the club's operations.

After witnessing the dilemma of West Ham's relegation, all British clubs, especially those non-renewal teams, are even more afraid of relegation. After all, no one wants to repeat the mistakes of West Ham and become an unlucky person.

I have to say that Everton's luck is really good. The teams its three direct competitors faced in the last round of the league are all extremely tough. Leicester City played against Arsenal away, Wolves faced Tottenham Hotspur, and as for Leeds United, this young guard who left a deep impression on countless fans three years ago will challenge Chelsea at Stamford Bridge Stadium!

The last three teams in the league played against the top three teams in the final game, while the fourth-last Everton only had to go to Manchester to challenge Manchester City, which ranked only higher than them. In addition, Everton was two points ahead of Leeds, the third-last, so it seems that Everton has no problem with relegation. However, in the good situation of relegation, Everton was beaten by Manchester City at the City Stadium and lost this extremely critical battle!

It is precisely because of this that Moyes would thank George after the game if any of the three Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea choose to lose, then Everton will become the unfortunate unlucky guy who was unfortunately relegated.

For this reason, Moyes also assured George that if Tottenham needs his help in the future, he will do his best. For example, if Tottenham falls in love with a player Everton intends to sell in the future, or is preparing to loan a player to go to Everton for training, then Moyes will open a convenient door for Tottenham.

George is still very impressed by Moyes' ability to train players. Although Everton, under the Scots' coach, still maintains the relatively simple and direct tactical style of the traditional English team, in the years he coached Everton, he has successively trained many well-known stars in the English arena such as Arteta Fellaini, Lescott, Tim Cahill, Jagilka. Therefore, if he chooses to cooperate with Moyes and let Everton help Tottenham train players, Tottenham can still gain a lot of benefits.

For Moyes, reaching a cooperative relationship with Tottenham is also of great benefit to Everton. After all, Everton is not like Tottenham and Chelsea, with a rich boss behind him; nor is it like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams, which have enough money-making ability to ensure that they are big in the transfer market. Therefore, cooperating with Tottenham, both from the financial and human resources perspective, is of great benefit to Everton.
