"Do you think Leeds United's present is Chelsea's future?"
Su Yun had some sighs.
When Su Yun first came to England, Leeds United was on the right track.
It should be said that after Su Yun came to England, the overall trend of Leeds United was upward. At that time, Leeds United was already doing well in the Premier League. After that, Ridsdale's investment became larger and larger. In those years,
Among them, Leeds United is very beautiful.
So much so that in order to counter the growing power of Manchester United and Arsenal in English football, Chelsea joined forces with Ridsdale.
Look at Leeds United at that time.
Not only has its own youth academy trained many players, but it has also bought many capable players from outside. Leeds United has so many good players that many teams are covetous.
But look at it now.
Leeds United are even in danger of going bankrupt.
Su Yun was very emotional.
Things change like this.
After returning home, Su Yun kept thinking about this issue. Su Yun didn't have deep feelings for Chelsea, but after all, he had been Chelsea's head coach for one season.
There will definitely be some emotion.
Su Yun really doesn't want to see Chelsea be like this one day. Like Leeds United, they are on the verge of bankruptcy and eventually become a player supermarket.
After all, many young players at Chelsea are Su Yun's favorite disciples.
Su Yun does not want them to become pawns sold by the club in the future.
Su Yun knew it.
Chelsea has also had a lot of debt in recent years. In order to recover the Stamford Bridge stadium, Ken Bates has spent a lot of money. And most of the money was borrowed by Ken Bates from the bank.
Chelsea's current debt will only be more than Leeds United's, and definitely not less than Leeds United's.
It's just that Chelsea's results have been good in the past two years, and most of Chelsea's fans are rich. The fans are rich, so the club's income is not low. Chelsea's life is barely getting by.
And the banks didn't push Chelsea as hard as they did Leeds United.
If Chelsea's performance fluctuates like Leeds United's, Su Yun can't imagine what Chelsea's future will be like.
Seeing Leeds United's current situation, Su Yun couldn't help but think of Chelsea, who were also in debt.
"Brother, it's up to you. If Chelsea's results are good and they can make more money in the Champions League, then the situation like Leeds United will not happen." He replied with a smile.
"Look at Leeds United. Ridsdale was betting on the Champions League. Unfortunately, Leeds United failed to enter the Champions League. It is impossible to pay off the debt just by relying on the Premier League and the team's ticket revenue."
"Furthermore, the salaries of Leeds United players are very high. Now it has become a burden. Not only can we not repay the bank loan, but the players' salaries are also a big burden."
In a mocking tone.
And I don’t care if Chelsea goes bankrupt. So what if it goes bankrupt?
It seems that Chelsea is the springboard.
Su Yun's performance at Chelsea is very good. There will definitely be clubs who will see Su Yun's performance. Judging from the current situation of Chelsea, is it still too early to go bankrupt?
Moreover, Chelsea's performance is also good. It may not necessarily go bankrupt, but it just has a little more debt.
As long as Su Yun continues to perform well in these few seasons, it will be fine.
Besides, if Chelsea goes bankrupt, it will go bankrupt. Su Yun is just a coach. If Chelsea goes bankrupt, they can change clubs.
What are you afraid of?
So I dealt with Su Yun casually.
Su Yun let out a long sigh.
It can be regarded as a fate.
I really hope things like Leeds United don’t happen to Chelsea in the future.
…………
Of course, that was just Su Yun's sigh.
Lament the ruthlessness of football.
A good Leeds United is about to decline. Once players start selling off, Leeds United's future is even unimaginable.
But sigh, sigh, Su Yun will never hesitate when it's time to take action.
Su Yun immediately contacted Leeds United Club.
Ask about Kewell's transfer.
Leeds United is very anxious now. The bank has given the final notice, and Leeds United has no other option now. But Leeds United is really unwilling to sell Kewell. Because Kewell is a player who came out of the Leeds United youth training camp.
He has been at Leeds United since he was a teenager.
It has been seven or eight years now.
And Kewell's performance is outstanding. Kewell is a player loved by fans at Leeds United. On the popularity list of Leeds United fans, Kewell is definitely at the top.
Leeds United are really unwilling to sell such a player unless absolutely necessary.
But there was nothing Leeds United could do.
Most of Leeds United's most valuable players are, like Kewell, coming from Leeds United's youth academy.
They would rather sell players than go bankrupt.
It’s just that Chelsea is so fucking inhuman.
The price was only five million pounds. This made Leeds United very angry.
The price is too low.
At the end of the 1999-00 season, when Kewell won the Premier League's Best Young Player award, Kewell's market price was at its highest. At that time, the media valued Kewell at about 15 million pounds.
Of course, the valuations of the English media are often inflated.
But according to Leeds United's thinking, Kewell should be sold for tens of millions of pounds. But Chelsea only paid a meager five million pounds.
What is intolerable is unbearable.
So they immediately rejected the offer.
But soon Mandik found the owner of Leeds United. He wanted to negotiate Kewell's new contract. Mandik demanded that Kewell's salary be doubled than the current salary and asked for a signing fee of three million pounds.
Ridsdale was furious.
Although Leeds United's financial problems are still in the confidential stage, there are no secrets at all for agents like Mandik. He must know the current financial situation of Leeds United. Leeds United is now considering how to repay bank interest. So much so that even the players are now
It is difficult to pay wages normally.
Even though I knew it, I still wanted to enter into such a contract.
Signing fee of £3 million?
Fortunately he could tell it.
Combined with Chelsea's offer for Kewell, Leeds United will understand no matter how stupid it is.
Chelsea have already done Kewell's job well.
nainai a bear!
Leeds United are furious. How dare these bastards from Chelsea contact their own players privately?
Although I was angry, there was nothing I could do.
Because it's an open secret.
This is how big clubs play. When they want to buy a player, they first contact the player privately. Leeds United did this kind of thing back then. It's just that Leeds United didn't expect that one day their players would be seduced like this by others.
Ridsdale could only delay.
Although Mandik is a gangster and greedy for money, he is definitely good at playing this kind of thing.
Soon the media broke the news that Leeds United had rejected Kewell's request for a contract extension. After all, Kewell's contract only had one and a half years left, and it was already time to negotiate a contract extension.
If it were normal, this would be to put pressure on the club to renew the contract smoothly.
It is a common method used by players to get a raise.
But at this time, they are completely forcing Leeds United. How can Leeds United give a player a signing fee of three million pounds when they can't even pay the bank interest.
Isn't this nonsense?
This is an ultimatum for Leeds United.
Su Yun also promptly quoted a price of seven million pounds, which was two million pounds more than the first time.
Su Yun was also observing.
Kewell is a good player. In the Premier League, there are really few players who are better than Kewell at the positions of left midfielder and left winger. Even Giggs and Pires are not necessarily better than Kewell.
How many.
After all, Kewell is much younger than Giggs and Pires.
In two months, Kewell will be 23 years old. He will be an absolutely young player.
To be honest, even if such a player costs 10 million pounds, Su Yun will win it. With Kewell and Boboski, Chelsea's wing attack can compete with Manchester United and Arsenal.
After offering 7 million pounds, Su Yun sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
Now is the time to see what Mandik is capable of.
Soon Leeds United received news from Mandik. Because Kewell was injured, he was unable to arrive on time when the team gathered.
This is completely embarrassing.
The newspapers were full of news about Kewell. This made Leeds United fans very angry.
They think Cowell is a big traitor.
Leeds United trained Kewell, and Kewell has been with Leeds United since he was fifteen years old. At the age of seventeen, he began to appear in the Leeds United first team. Now Kewell will soon be twenty-three years old.
nearly eight years.
But when the club was in difficulty, Kewell was the first to leave the club.
This makes Leeds United fans very sad and angry.
However, Mandik's move also told Leeds United that Kewell will definitely leave this season.
Kewell only has a year and a half left on his contract.
Leeds United cannot be retained by force.
However, Leeds United still wants to sell it at a good price. Leeds United hopes that several clubs can compete, but unfortunately there is no news from the Premier League strong teams Manchester United and Arsenal.
They have their own things to do, and they have no shortage of players at the left midfield position.
Speaking of which, Liverpool should be in need.
It's a pity that Houllier is in hospital now. Many of Liverpool's transfer actions are in trouble.
After a lot of effort, Leeds United discovered that Kewell was very strong, but there was only one club he could go to: Chelsea. And depending on Mandik’s intentions, Kewell had to go to Chelsea.
Leeds United are very passive.
In desperation, they could only sit down and talk to Chelsea.
Soon both parties reached an agreement.
Kewell, who just won the Premier League's Best Young Player last season, came to Chelsea for 7.6 million pounds.
Su Yun was already extremely happy.
The money spent on selling Morris to Leeds United last year was used to buy Kewell. What a good deal.
When the Leeds United player supermarket opened, Su Yun was the first to make the move and bought the long-coveted Kewell.
Su Yun was the first to strike, setting an example for other Premier League clubs. Leeds United players have become the targets pursued by all Premier League clubs.
