Abramovich once wanted to acquire Notts County, but at that time Notts County was not a Premier League club, just because Notts County’s temperament in the game against Chelsea deeply attracted the Russian oligarch. At that time, Notts County County, the valuation is pitifully low. book

But now, as one of the best teams in the world, Notts County’s valuation has reached a terrifying 3 billion US dollars, surpassing top giants like Manchester United and Real Madrid. Not everyone dares to play Notts County’s idea.

Even if Abramovich wants to buy Notts County now, he may not even be able to afford the money, even though his worth exceeds tens of billions of dollars, but more of them are fixed assets.

But Murdoch no longer has such troubles. If David is willing to nod, then he can pay David right away.

Unfortunately, this is only if!

At Murdoch's age, how could he not be able to tell whether David was telling the truth or not?

Unlike those businessmen, David is a chairman who really likes football, loves the club and really pours all his heart and soul into Notts County. Buying Notts County from him is tantamount to taking away his children...

"Then I don't want to buy all the money, but just buy a part of the shares, okay? I won't interfere with the daily operations of the Notts County Club, how about it?" Murdoch made the next best thing. He felt that David might still agree to this proposal. After all, it was rumored that Notts County would use the shares of Serie A club Brescia as a loyalty reward to the players, so it is not impossible to sell part of Notts County's shares now.

But what awaited him was David's shaking his head and rejection.

"Mr. Murdoch, my attitude is very clear. I will not sell the shares of Notts County, even if it is only 1%. Therefore, it is better not to talk about this issue!" David refused firmly.

The room suddenly fell into silence. Murdoch didn't expect such a situation. At their level, everything is not done for a while, and David is so direct.

But David's resolute attitude still made him a little unacceptable. He is not a fan, so he will not understand David's mentality.

"Mr. Murdoch, in fact, you are quite right. The Premier League is indeed the most popular league in the world. Even if you are not a fan, you should know the famous BIG5. The reason why the Premier League is so popular is because of competition, not because it stands alone. Football is also a game of capital. Look at Chelsea. After Abramovich took over, they became a top team in a short period of time. They have huge influence all over the world. They can completely compete with the old giants. This is a good one. For example, you don’t have to set your sights on Notts County, buy a club with historical background, and with your financial resources, you can see this club become a first-class strong team in a short period of time. Competing in the Premier League will also achieve your goal of acquiring Notts County!" David looked at the silent Murdoch, and still made a suggestion to him. In fact, this suggestion is really easy to achieve.

Murdoch is not short of money. Although he may not be as rich as the chief who sells oil, he is far more than Abramovich. As long as he is willing to invest, there is no problem in building a strong Premier League team.

This kind of routine is completely feasible in the Premier League. There are Chelsea in the front and Manchester City in the back. You can't play without money!

David does not mind the more intense competition in the Premier League. Only when there are more participants in the game can more attention be attracted, and then everyone can get a bigger pie. Not to mention, if there are six top teams in the Premier League competing for How much do you think the broadcast rights can sell for the championship and the Champions League?

David didn't know if Murdoch was moved by his words, but when he said goodbye, David still noticed a clue from Murdoch's eyes, as if he was fighting against himself.

Murdoch's arrival was regarded as a small episode, which would not affect David's mood. The only regret was that David missed the time to go to Australia because of the reception of Murdoch.

Now I want to leave but I can't.

Notts County ushered in another wave of intensive matches, and David felt that it would be better for him to sit in England.

In the first game in February, the Magpies challenged Manchester United away. In this game, Notts County played the main force, but Ferguson obviously did not intend to fight against Notts County. The whole game was strictly guarded, and the scene was ugly No, finally defended the 0:0 draw.

After the game, Heynckes couldn't take it anymore. His speech at the press conference pointed out that Manchester United played ugly, but would Ferguson, who has been in the Premier League for more than ten years, care about this?

Notts County vented all the anger in Manchester United's body to Bolton's head. Back at home, Notts County beat Bolton and continued to maintain pressure on Chelsea.

In the 25th round of the league, the point gap between Notts County and Chelsea is still hovering between 1 point and 4 points. The difference in points is not too big, but it has been unable to catch up, which can explain the problem.

In the previous two seasons, it seemed that Chelsea had a point advantage at the beginning of the league, but they couldn't maintain it at all, and they would eventually be chased by Notts County.

But Chelsea's performance this season is different from the past. They are tenacious and stable. This point advantage has allowed them to maintain for more than ten rounds. Maybe Chelsea can maintain it until the end of the season!

Next, Notts County will face Chelsea again, which is the second leg of the League Cup semi-final.

But what people didn't expect was that there was no winner or loser in this battle in regular time, and the two clubs seemed to want to continue the tie...

When Chelsea played hard-core football, Notts County was actually uncomfortable. Based on stability, Notts County’s fast break was ineffective. Conversely, Chelsea could not play a fast-paced offensive, and it was also difficult to threaten. Notts County goal.

With caution, it is better not to win than to lose. Perhaps this is the mentality of the two teams.

The regular time was tied, no one was able to score, and the extra time was even more conservative, so the two teams entered a penalty shootout.

The Blues fans in the stands are very excited, and finally have the opportunity to avenge the Community Shield Cup. Notts County won the Community Shield Cup by virtue of a penalty shootout after defeating Chelsea. To Chelsea's victory over Notts County.

However, Chelsea seemed to be cursed by fate. Lampard and Shevchenko, who played first, missed penalties successively, so that Terry, who was ranked last, did not get a chance to play. The penalty shootout is over. .

Notts County once again relied on a penalty shoot-out victory to eliminate Chelsea and break into the League Cup final this season. (To be continued.)
