Su Yun on the other end of the phone frowned tightly after hearing what ** said.
It is already May of 2003.
The 2002-03 season is about to end. Chelsea this season is empty of all four majors.
In the Premier League, Chelsea is currently four points behind Arsenal, the second-placed player in the Premier League, and ranked third in the Premier League. Ferguson, who has withdrawn his decision to retire, has led Manchester United to complete an astonishing turnaround this season.
Manchester United's state at the beginning of the season was average, even poor. Therefore, they had been lagging behind Arsenal and Chelsea from the beginning. By January, Manchester United was still ranked third in the Premier League.
The biggest gap was eleven points behind Arsenal.
But in the second half of the season, their form was astonishing, and they overturned Arsenal and won the Premier League title.
Arsenal were disappointed again.
The new Arsenal formed by Wenger has high hopes for this team. Wenger even said in front of the media that the strength of this Arsenal is better than that of the 1997-98 season.
But after its formation, it lost to Chelsea and Manchester United for two consecutive years.
Ranked second in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons.
In the Champions League, Chelsea once again failed to make it out of the second round of the group stage.
After three seasons at Chelsea, Su Yun's results this season are the worst.
After Su Yun came to the Premier League, he has always maintained at least one championship a year. In the first time he coached Sunderland, Su Yun won the League Cup and the FA Cup in the second season.
His results at Chelsea were even better.
The first season was a triple crown, and the second season also had three championships.
But there is no championship this season.
Su Yun is really stretched thin with his troops. To be able to maintain third place in the Premier League, Su Yun has worked very hard.
Of course, not having a championship does not mean that Su Yun has failed.
In March, Bates had already begun to contact Su Yun. He wanted to discuss a new contract with Su Yun.
Su Yun originally signed a three-year contract with Chelsea.
This season is over.
Bates believes that no one is more suitable for Chelsea than Su Yun. Therefore, since March, Bates has urged Su Yun to sign several times.
But he didn't expect ** to call and say that Chelsea Club had terminated the negotiations. This made Su Yun very surprised.
The current situation is that Su Yun takes the initiative.
Now it is not Chelsea who chooses Su Yun, but Su Yun who chooses Chelsea.
Although Su Yun failed to win all four majors this season, it did not have much impact on Su Yun's reputation. When Su Yun emerged from the death group in the first round of the Champions League, the European media praised Su Yun.
What about young coach Su Yun?
As for Chelsea's problems this season, they also expressed their understanding.
It can be said that the current market price of Su Yun is still very high.
When the contract expires, Su Yun will definitely have many suitors. Su Yun does not need to hang himself from a tree in Chelsea.
It’s Chelsea who should be worried now!
They actually dared to terminate the negotiations first.
Su Yun was furious for a moment.
"**,Why?"
**Su Yun's anger could be heard on the other side of the phone.
**Smile.
In fact, ** is not willing at all to let Su Yun renew his contract with Chelsea. Now Chelsea's situation is obvious. Bates, an old gangster, has led Chelsea into a huge debt.
Over ninety million pounds.
This number is crazy.
And it seems that it will be difficult for Chelsea to repay these debts in a short time.
Maybe even more and more.
Just look at this season and you will see that Bates simply has no money for Su Yun to use in the transfer market.
What is the situation in football now?
Without money you are nothing.
What would a club like this do? Therefore, Bates already wanted to renew his contract with Su Yun in March. But he kept putting it off because he wanted to see the market situation.
**I want to see what other wealthy families in Europe mean.
As long as a strong European team extends an invitation to Su Yun, he will definitely persuade Su Yun to leave Chelsea.
Su Yun's achievements at Chelsea have come to an end.
In the current Chelsea, ** believes that it is absolutely impossible for Su Yun to achieve more results. After all, Chelsea's strength is there. It is impossible for Bates to give more money.
The only thing Su Yun lacks now is his European record.
But looking at Chelsea now, it is impossible to win the Champions League if this continues. Therefore, we must find a club for Su Yun where he can display his talents.
Unfortunately it's difficult.
Among the giants in the Premier League, Manchester United's Ferguson's status is unshakable. Although Wenger has not won the Premier League title in the past five years, the Arsenal board of directors has no idea of firing Wenger.
Both Ferguson and Wenger's coaching positions are very stable.
As for Liverpool, another giant in England, the current situation is not as good as Chelsea.
Let’s talk about other European giants.
There is no news about the La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid's current coach is Vicente del Bosque, and Barcelona is in chaos. As for Bayern or Hitzfield, Lippi is the coach of Juventus, and the young coach Carlo Ancelotti is the coach of Milan.
Now among the European giants, the one with an unstable coaching position is Inter Milan's Cooper.
But Inter Milan has no intention of looking for Su Yun.
In addition to these giants, some other strong foreign teams are interested in Su Yun. But those clubs are not interested because they are not necessarily stronger than Chelsea.
Not even as good as Chelsea now.
Therefore, the negotiations have been postponed until now.
"Brother, Bates is leaving soon."
"Walk?"
Su Yun didn't understand the meaning of ** for a moment.
"I heard that a rich man is interested in Chelsea. Bates is currently negotiating with them. What Bates means is that the negotiations will be concluded soon, so he does not want to sign the contract at this time. The new head coach depends on the new owner.
mean."
"New boss?"
Su Yun really didn't expect it.
Is Bates selling the club?
Although Bates is a big hooligan in football, Su Yun is still satisfied with working with him.
Is there a new boss?
Who is it?
What kind of character is it?
How to run a club.
And what does he mean to the head coach?
Su Yun didn't know any of this.
Su Yun just frowned and said slowly: "**, who is the new boss?"
"I don't know the details. But what is certain is that this is a real rich man. It is said that he is a rich man from Russia. He is very rich. He seems to be in the oil business. They quietly told me that they were negotiating with Bates.
This man’s net worth is over 10 billion pounds.”
Su Yun was surprised when he heard what ** said.
Russian billionaire?
I also know a little bit about the Russian tycoon Su Yun. Su Yun once heard his brother say that in just a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many rich people came out of Russia.
And they are all the kind of rich people who get rich overnight.
In Russia, there are many rich people who have accumulated tens of billions of dollars in a few years.
Of course their income is not legal.
The so-called shock therapy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union can actually be explained in the simplest terms. It was a campaign by a few people to carve up the national property accumulated by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years.
And those few people became rich.
One by one they became oligarchs.
Although it is not known who the Russian rich man is who purchased Chelsea this time, Su Yun knows that he must have made his fortune by carving up the national property of the former Soviet Union.
Ten billion pounds.
What number is this.
Currently, among the Premier League bosses, no one is worth more than 10 billion pounds. There is not even one boss with a net worth of 10 billion pounds.
The current owner of Tottenham Hotspur, Joe Lewis, has a net worth of 2.3 billion pounds and is already a rich man in the Premier League.
In the current Premier League, he is the richest man in the Premier League with a net worth of 5 billion pounds.
Ten billion pounds.
Su Yun really didn't dare to think about it.
"When did it start?"
"That's what happened in the past two days. But I heard that the negotiations are progressing very quickly, and there will definitely be a result within these few days. I guess Chelsea has too much debt now, and Bates really can't bear it anymore."
I can't stand it anymore.
Chelsea currently has a lot of debt, exceeding 90 million pounds. It may even exceed 100 million pounds soon. Moreover, the recent football market has been somewhat depressed.
In the past five or six years, the European football market was very hot.
In the European football transfer market, 20 million euros is a small amount. 30 million euros, 40 million euros, and 50 million euros are all very common.
But last summer's transfer market began to turn into the winter transfer market, and it seems that there won't be any big deals this year. Compared with previous years, the European football market has really begun to slump.
The downturn in the European football market has caused many big investment bosses to go bankrupt.
The most typical one is the Roman duo in Italy.
A few years ago, they were able to compete with the three northern powers Juventus, Milan, and Inter Milan. Even the Roma duo, who were more heroic than them in the transfer market, are now beginning to gradually wither.
Not only are they no longer able to compare with the top three in the north in the transfer market.
Even the core of their team is starting to lose its hold.
Last summer, Lazio even sold their captain and best player Nesta for 30 million because they were about to go bankrupt.
This is the most obvious evidence of the downturn in the football market.
Bates can't afford to gamble.
Although Bates has bad breath, he is the man who single-handedly built Chelsea. He is much smarter than others.
He didn't want to become Ridsdale.
Ridsdale has already asked the Leeds United board of directors to resign. But if Bates reaches Ridsdale's situation, it will not be as simple as stepping down. Maybe Bates himself may go bankrupt.
Just as embarrassed as the current Lazio boss.
Now suddenly a Russian tycoon wants to buy Chelsea, and of course Bates can't wait.
It's just that Bates wants to kill the Russian tycoon.
So I kept bargaining with him.
However, the Russian tycoon was far more generous than Bates thought. Basically, Bates agreed to his request.
The negotiation went smoothly.
Bates and the Russian tycoon have already completed the deal.
