spn At 14:00 local time in the UK on May 24th, the 38th round of the 200809 English Premier League started all 10 games at the same time. Only the final relegation battle was still a little suspense. In the final relegation battle, Manchester United lost 1-0 away from home.
After beating Hull City, Newcastle lost to Aston Villa 0-1 away, and Middlesbrough lost 1-2 away to West Ham.
In the end, Newcastle and Middlesbrough were both relegated along with West Bromwich Albion.
Who would have thought Newcastle would be relegated so early in the season?
Alan Shearer stood on the sidelines with red eyes, listening to the final whistle. The 0-1 result allowed them to return to the British Championship after 16 years.
There is no need to blame Manchester United, because Manchester United defeated Hull City for them; there is no need to count on Chelsea, Chelsea won 3-2 away at Sunderland; there is no need to blame West Ham, they defeated Middlesbrough 2-1. Letting go is not the color of the Premier League.
Pity is not a Premier League emotion.[
God helps those who save themselves. Middlesbrough and Newcastle failed to do so, so they followed West Brom and went to the English Championship to reflect on themselves.
Before the game, Hell is at your fingertips. If you look at the last few relegation teams, people can easily find the big name Newcastle among them.
The god of death hangs over the northeast of England. Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, and Newcastle within a 100-mile radius will be at war this weekend. The two teams will accompany West Brom in the British Championship next season.
Tension, stalemate, tears, and laughter will be destined to dominate there. Yes, fate will give these football hot spots the final verdict. But if they retain one thing, it is that the northerners will never give up.
This weekend they have no suspended Basson and no injured Beyer, but they are by no means lacking in fighting spirit. "This is a great football club that has made many big mistakes. Now we have the last chance to make up for it with the last throw."
I believe we can make these mistakes." Shearer made a challenge for himself. He had rejected Ferguson twice, which was brought up again by busybodies at such a sensitive period, "Listen, Alex and I have a relationship.
After meeting several times, we said that the previous things were over and we got along very well. We laughed about it and even joked about it. There was no problem at all." Shearer refused all interference.
But obviously, Manchester United will not joke about the Champions League final. They will not field their main lineup, which is understandable.
Ferguson seemed to have prepared an "excuse" before the game, "This is no longer the era when Liverpool could win the championship with 14 players. We had to rotate in the league with Middlesbrough and the FA Cup with Everton."
"However, they control not only their own destiny, but also the destiny of the three northern powers.
What needs to be more worried is Sbraga. Although they have the highest points among the four teams that may be relegated before the game and also have home field advantage, it is difficult for them to get unfair treatment from Chelsea, who are looking for fairness from UEFA.
Hiddink has also promised, "I will probably play 10 minutes of inspiring video before the game, some music and some pictures of our wonderful performances. I learned this from Allardyce before the game between Bolton and Arsenal.
We often show some images of Nolan riding on someone, Davis or someone else, and it excites the players themselves," Sbraga said before the game. Will such a trick work on tough guys like Chelsea and Hiddink?
The seeds have been laid for the final result.
As for Middlesbrough, it is difficult for a miracle like West Brom to happen to them, because they not only need to win themselves, not only need to lose all their opponents, but also need to restore a 4-goal difference gap at West Ham. They have a total of 18 away games.
Only 10 goals were scored.
Unsurprisingly, Manchester United's worst roster so far this season has frustrated the three northern teams.
Chelsea's two-forward team-up, with the exception of Lampard, did not give Sunderland any hope.
Villa and West Ham are also included in the main lineup. Middlesbrough, who must win a big victory, appear to be determined in the face of the embarrassment of Dani Alves, Arianre and Tangningfa coming on the scene.
When Hull City bombarded Manchester United's substitute defense with two consecutive corner kicks at the beginning, Coloccini's personal poor performance was constantly giving Villa opportunities.
Alan Shearer stood uneasily on the sidelines. About eight minutes later, after Duff's long-range shot was blocked by Friedel, Taylor's header was resolved on the goal line. Newcastle finally showed the necessary fighting spirit.
But nervousness made the team eager for success and made frequent mistakes in passing. The only one who did not make any mistakes was Hubble, who saved the opponent's fatal shots three times in a row. The pain and suffering got good news. In the 24th minute, teenager Delat defeated Gio
Varney's shot was cleared on the goal line and quickly achieved results. Gibson's goal brought light to the north. Marchena's shot was saved by Maher heroically. Otherwise, 2-0 would be a real blessing.
But the hope the other side gave them was accompanied by a disappointing performance from the Northern team themselves.
Although Middlesbrough had the advantage in possession, they forgot about their goal difference. Stanislas's shot on the goalpost did not give them enough warning. In the 35th minute, Cole's goal almost completely failed for Middlesbrough.
Fort pronounced a death sentence. Southgate stood on the sidelines, frustrated, but not angry, just frustrated. Shearer, who had just sat down, had to pay for the team's passivity in the 38th minute. Barry's far
Bad shot, but it hit Duff's leg and got into the blind spot. Welcome back to the relegation zone, Newcastle United!
Just at the beginning of the second half, Anelka's long-range shot from the center circle ensured his position as the season's top scorer, and also told the relegation teams an eternal truth - rely on yourself and don't expect others to let you down.
In the 51st minute, both Sunderland and Middlesbrough began to respond. First, O'Neill's goal made Southgate raise his fist on the sidelines; then Richardson brought himself and Chelsea back to a parallel line. Middlesbrough's hope
Soon it was shattered again - in this afternoon full of long shots, Stankonilas used another long shot to make Southgate helpless. Then, another long shot from Kalou could no longer affect the overall situation.
.
In fact, Newcastle was only one goal away, but how could they score if they didn't even have a single shot? [
Shearer tested five forwards in this game, but the team failed to have any real chances in the final period. Villa may not finish fifth and receive the £7.6 million bonus, but their tenacity has given them a moral legacy.
With Ameobi's two anti-aircraft guns, Newcastle's Premier League was wiped out.
Newcastle were relegated, but Shearer still wanted to stay.
Alan Shearer will still sit down and talk with Ashley next week. The result of the game will not affect his decision or interfere with his future. He has decided to stay. If Ashley can really open his pockets,
Let Shearer go ahead and do it.
Sbraga's ears have been surrounded by the names of different big-name successors. Now, he can relax, go to Australia for a holiday, and forget about this short "coach debut".
Phil Brown, who will turn 50 next month, has always been young and frivolous, but when the team ranked third in October, he was considered "outstanding". After the team fell into the relegation circle, he was considered to "always put himself above the team."
But the fact that Hull City is promoted to the top flight for the first time in 104 years will not let the chairman give up on him easily. "My chairman is a friend,
He is a colleague and a confidant. I think I am making progress and today is already a huge achievement, but we still want to continue. I will turn 50 next week and I hope I celebrate it happily as a Premier League manager." Now, he
You can prepare your own Harley-Davidson motorcycle, go on vacation in the south of France, and sip champagne on Chairman Dufin's yacht.
Southgate, another tough guy who received conditional support from the chairman, is still strong. "I will not let my suffering escalate. I don't like our current situation. I have done some self-examination, but I still have a lot of clear blueprints."
.There is no doubt that setbacks will make you stronger and make you more grateful for the good times. Everyone will suffer before they reach their ideal end."
Southgate clearly explained his philosophy. In the 1996 European Championship semi-finals, the unstoppable England and Germany met at Wembley. Southgate's penalty kick was saved by Kopke, becoming England's sinner.
"Gaeth Southgate, you are England's penalty kick sinner"
" is a shift that permeates every corner of England. But he survived. He even accepted a Pizza Hut advertisement with Waddle and Pierce, two other "penalty sinners", to laugh at themselves. So, there is no need to doubt his will, he fell
He will get up, and then advance towards his own Garden of Eden.
Newcastle was relegated! A team with Owen, Martins, Viduka, Alan Smith and many other famous players, a team that was considered to have the potential to enter the European competition at the beginning of the season, was relegated after the last round of the Premier League.
English Championship.
Duff's own goal caused the Magpies to lose the crucial relegation battle. Coach Shearer looked blank at the scene. He was hurriedly appointed and ultimately failed to reproduce the legend of the year.
However, none of them should be the ones mainly responsible for Newcastle's relegation. The fat man in the stands who is hated by the Magpies fans is the club owner Ashley.
Newcastle's chaos this season began last summer.
Ashley first announced his intention to sell the Newcastle club in September and has been in frequent contact with Middle Eastern buyers.
Until February, there were still rumors that Ashley was bargaining with buyers, causing confusion at the club.
The most fatal mistake was the conflict with head coach Keegan.
Ashley appointed Keegan as coach last season and retained his Premier League seat, but in the summer, the conflict between the two intensified.
Ashley's interference in the work of the head coach made Keegan unbearable. In fact, Keegan's request was not excessive. He demanded independent decision-making power in the transfer market and asked to eliminate those who he believed had been ruining his affairs.
Assistant Dennis Wise, but both requests were rejected by Ashley, and Keegan resigned angrily.
Coincidentally, after Shearer came to power, the first person to ask for his dismissal was also Wise.
Ashley made one mistake after another when it came to selecting the head coach.
After ousting Keegan, the team was temporarily taken over by Chris Horton, but the results were very poor. An anxious Irving repeatedly called for an end to the chaos as soon as possible and to finalize a new coach.
Irving said at the time: "The sooner we get out of this mess, the better, so we can focus on football again. There are too many rumors, which makes fans and players restless."
Kinnear later became Newcastle's new manager, but this proved not to be a wise decision. The easy-going coach was regarded as Ashley's puppet, and former chairman Sheppard even publicly said that if it were him, Kim would never be appointed.
Neil leads the team.
Shearer took over at the final stage, but it turned out that the former Newcastle legend, who had never had coaching experience, was determined to repeat Keegan's miracle last season. Although Shearer brought cohesion to the team, the use of personnel, technical and tactical play
The magpie did not change much. This was limited by his experience. The fault was not his, but the fault of the person who assigned him.[
There were four coaches leading the team in one season (including executive coach Horton), and there were constant rumors of selling the team. In this chaotic background, Newcastle slid into the abyss step by step. Former chairman Sheppard said that the Magpies fell into the abyss.
Ashley blames him. "Relegation is a disaster. We spent 12 to 15 years building a big club and then suddenly disaster strikes after we leave. There's only one person to blame and that's the one who made the decision."
people."
"Many people can buy a football club, but not many can run it well. I think Ashley is a successful businessman, but from a football perspective, he can only blame himself for being in this situation."
Wigan chairman Whelan, who has always had conflicts with Ashley, was even more merciless at this time. "I remember Ashley appeared on the board of directors for the first time after buying Newcastle, and he was actually wearing jeans and a shirt. This shows that
It shows how classless he is. He represents Newcastle, a proud club, and I immediately realized that this man may not even have Newcastle in his heart."
"As a Tottenham fan, Ashley bought Newcastle. All he wanted was to make money, but now, he is doing it for himself. After he came to power, this club has nothing to be proud of anymore." In September last year, for Northeast China
At the Prince Charity Dinner to raise funds for children with disabilities in the area, the Premier League in the same area
All teams sent their stars to participate. Middlesbrough coach Southgate brought his star player Downing to attend. Sunderland also sent Ferdinand, Gordon and other stars, but Newcastle did not have a single player or coach present.
, this debt was finally attributed to the "bad" club owner.
Last summer, Ashley's price tag for selling Newcastle was 481 million pounds, but now he is in real trouble. No one will care about the relegated Newcastle. Without the Premier League broadcast fees, survival will become a problem.
The fifth-highest wage bill in the Premier League is also a huge burden, which will force the team to sell players to reduce expenses. When Robson led the team a few years ago, Newcastle was still a regular in the Champions League, but now, they have fallen into Leeds, Southampton and Southampton.
The abyss into which Hampton fell.
The economic environment in Europe is the same as Newcastle's, and it is undoubtedly bleak, especially the British mainland, which has not joined the Eurozone.
After the pound has depreciated by more than 35% against the euro in the past 18 months, the UK will increase the tax rate for high-income groups in 2010, from 40% to 50%. In this way, England has replaced Germany and become the league with the highest tax rate among the five major leagues.
Exchange rate and tax rates have turned the Premier League from a land full of gold into a star black hole, becoming an irreversible trend.
A simple math question: In 2007, Abramovich strongly invited Kaka to join, promising a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds. According to the exchange rate at the time, Kaka could get an annual salary of 15 million euros in London. In terms of tax rate, England is 3% lower than Italy
,all
The club can spend 450,000 euros less. But in May 2009, Kaká could only get 11 million euros. At this time, the English club paid 770,000 euros more in taxes than the Italians, which in principle will be offset against the
On the stars' bills.
The salary advantage is gone, and what remains is the threshold of high prices. London is the city with the highest consumer index in Europe, which is 17% higher on average than Milan. Kaka earns 9 million euros in Milan, and needs 10.63 million in London to maintain the same level as Milan
The same standard of living. Lao Bei has to pay for
Kaka paid 15.5 million euros. What about the Arabs in Manchester City? This year it is 15 million and next year it will be 18 million. Madrid's Perez only needs to pay 12 million euros for the Brazilian every year. This is why he dares to pay 12 million to Kaka.
The key to annual salary after tax in euros.
The income tax rate in Spain is 25%, France is 40%, Italy is 43%, and Germany is 45%. Russia, which has been catching up in the past two years, only has 13%. Arshavin’s after-tax income in Russia is 5.2 million, and in London he has cut his salary to survive.
The weekly salary is 80,000 pounds, which is only 4.4 million euros a year. Now it is less than 2.5 million euros.
Clearly, England's new 50% tax rate would be disastrous.
However, these are just unfounded worries of some experts. At least the Premier League is the best-developed league in Europe so far, especially in its own continent of Asia, which has seized most of the market. Even China, which does not have any reporting rights to the Premier League, has also achieved
Delightful growth.
The development of the Premier League has completely reversed the economic environment in Europe, but the general environment is not good, so the Premier League clubs have kept a low profile accordingly. The adjustment of tax rates has not brought the devastating blow to the Premier League as reported.
