Lister is in a good mood these days, because Stretford, who gave Lister a few months ago, has been in a state of disarray recently... Pini Zahavi's connections in the media circle are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary people.
After he mobilized his contacts, the English media suddenly revealed that the Football Association had intervened in the investigation of the Stretford Agency because the Football Association believed that the company had too many problems.
In fact, this is not a matter of media spreading rumors. Because every time this kind of problem arises, there will always be opinions of one kind or another within the Football Association. However, Pini Zahavi is very smart and puts forward those mainstream opinions within the Football Association.
Opinions were blocked, and the opinions of a few people who were not very vocal within the FA were directly cited. However, when the newspaper wrote it, it was said as if this was the mainstream opinion of the FA.
The newspapers even exaggerated. They said that England's judicial authorities have become fed up with the shady affairs within the football world and are preparing to set up an investigation task force to investigate the problems within the English football world.
When a newspaper says something like this, it has a huge influence. Being objective and fair is all nonsense. If someone thinks that the English media is objective, fair and true, they can only say that this person is too simple. Because there is a boss behind every newspaper.
Whatever the boss's opinion is, the newspaper's opinion will be the same. When Pini Zahavi revealed his strong connections in the media circle, most newspapers adopted the same tone.
This matter has been affecting the stock market. Soon the stock market fluctuated, and the one that was hardest hit was the Stretford agency. There are many internal problems in this company. If you check the accounts and the transfer of some players, the problems are really
One after another. Of course this is the case for agencies in England and even across European football.
There is no need to check the accounts of the brokerage company. Even if you check the accounts of many clubs, you can still find a lot of very funny expenses. Most of the expenses were paid with black money.
Therefore, the market price of Stretford Brokerage Company was getting lower and lower, and it was a roller coaster ride in just a few months. It kept rising when it was first listed, but it stopped rising when the coach shareholder incident came out. This
After the second major crisis, everyone's trust in the company became less and less, so the stock market soon began to slump.
This is the case with the stock market. Even when they were at their peak, their market capitalization reached around 160 million pounds, but the speed after it began to decline was astonishing. Of course, as the stock price dropped, it also caused panic among many investors.
The intention to sell began. In just over a month, the market price of Stretford's brokerage company had reached 110 million pounds. But the downward trend had not ended yet.
It was at this time that the FA ruled on the dispute between Stretford and Mike Shkin. First, the Liverpool police believed that there was insufficient evidence for intimidation by Mike Shkin's three assistants, so they acquitted McShkin's three assistants.
.Then the Football Association believed that Stretford violated the rules when contacting Rooney, so it fined Stretford to revoke his agent's license for two years.
If Stretford is just an ordinary agent, then even if his agent's license is revoked, Stretford can still be his agent with his connections. You don't have to have an agent's license to be an agent.
That's okay. Unfortunately, he is not only a broker, he is also the boss of a listed brokerage company. This is a big problem.
The already turbulent stock market became even more turbulent after hearing the news, and its market value soon fell below 100 million pounds. Anyway, it was a huge blow. Many people saw that Stretford was in trouble, so they kept shaking him.
glorious history.
"I have memorized all these people."
Stretford felt that he was really unlucky, but his arrogant character had not changed at all. He remembered all the agents who were now in trouble. He was not a broad-minded person, and he was affected by it today.
He will pay back all the blows he received a hundredfold.
In fact, it can be seen at this time. Many powerful local agents in England have not spoken out, and some powerful agents like Lister and Pini Zahavi are even invisible. They are all more hidden, and they seem to be invisible.
There is no such thing. Faced with such a big issue in English football, none of them showed up or expressed any opinions.
Those who come out to criticize Stretford are just small agents. They have been suppressed by Stretford for too long. They all hope that Stretford will dissolve his company. He is the only one who wants to criticize Stretford.
He controls nearly 300 English players. If they fall, it will be a huge cake. They are all jealous.
Stretford sneered. These ignorant ants, even if they really fall, it will not be their turn to carve up their own resources. Those who are silent now are the real wolves. They are silent now,
They all want to be fishermen.
"Paul, what are you going to do? Proactive's stock price continues to fall, and the shareholders above are very dissatisfied. And this situation is very unfavorable to you now."
The person talking to Stretford was Mark Curtis. This person is also a very good agent, and he has a lot of connections in English football, and he also has a very special relationship with Newcastle. There is nothing outstanding under him.
He has been doing some intermediary work for players. He also has a good personal relationship with Stretford.
After he later set up his own business, he became Kevin Nolan's agent. His first move was Kevin Nolan's move from Bolton to Newcastle. He also participated in a transfer that shocked the British football world. That was Carlo
Carroll transferred from Newcastle to Liverpool for 35 million pounds. At the time, he was neither Carroll's agent nor a representative of Liverpool, but he participated in the transfer. No one knows how much benefit he received.
It was so bad that Carroll's agent took him to an arbitration court, believing that he had taken his share of the commission.
Of course, he still follows Stretford now. He really never thought about how Stretford, who was still dominating the English football world half a year ago, would be in this situation now.
"Looks like I'm going to step away from Proactive Sports Management. Otherwise they're going to keep hanging on to me."
Stretford was very sad. Proactive Sports Management Company was founded by him, and the major shareholders of coaches on the board of directors were brought in by him through decades of contacts. There are more than a dozen Premier League-level coaches, 200
The more than 70 players are all Stretford's hard work and his capital.
But Stretford was helpless. Because of the current situation, he had to make a choice, otherwise the media would never let him go. Thinking of the aggressive media this time, Stretford gritted his teeth.
Stretford doesn't care about those ants at the front desk at all. If he really wants to deal with them, even now he has many ways to kill them as a warning. But Stretford understands that this time the media is so
The momentum is definitely not something that these small agents can stir up. There are many people behind this trying to fish in troubled waters.
Stretford doesn't know which one it is? Maybe almost all the powerful agents are involved in this incident. Lister who has a grudge against him? Pini Zaha, who has been eyeing the English football market.
dimension?
Stretford even suspects that Jerome Anderson, Jason Ferguson, and emerging powerful agents like Ashley Cole's agent Barnett may be involved in this matter.
.Otherwise, how could the momentum be so huge this time? None of these agents have such strength. Only if each of them participated in the fueling behind it could such a big storm be created.
Stretford was right. This incident started with Maxkin charging into the battle as a vanguard, and behind the scenes were two people, Lister and Pini Zahavi. But after the incident happened, the people involved were
It’s not just one or two. Jerome Anderson, who worked with him when he suppressed Lester, and some powerful agents all turned their guns and played with Stretford because they also didn’t like to see it.
There are too powerful agents in English football.
"But……"
Mark Curtis sighed. Because Proactive Sports Management Company is everything to Stretford, it is his hard work and his foundation. Stretford is able to dominate the British football world because of owning this company.
company.
Although even after leaving the company, Stretford's connections are still there. But the situation will be very different. He used to have cooperative relationships with many head coaches, but it will no longer be the case in the future. Stretford
The strength will be greatly reduced.
Stretford waved his hand and said with a gloomy face: "There is no time to think too much at this time. I want to be quiet for a while."
Stretford is arrogant, but he still knows how to distinguish between priorities. Or it should be said that he has been the boss for too long, so he was too arrogant some time ago. Now he has calmed down and understands what it means to be decisive.
Instead, he suffered chaos...
Seeing Mark Curtis' nervous look, Stratford suddenly laughed. Then he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and suddenly returned to his previous arrogant look, saying: "Those people really think I can't do it.
In the past, I was too powerful and became a target for others. Now I understand a little bit. Proactive Sports Management Company is so powerful, but in fact it is just an illusion. There are no superstars who can control the scene. If I have
With Beckham and Irving, they are nothing."
"Now I have to change my route. They don't know that I have a trump card in my hand, the future flag of English football, Wayne Rooney. I will still be indispensable in the future of English football." (To be continued.
