Chapter 431 The Acquisition Completed
Among the unhappy people, the most unhappy one is Li Zihua.
The reason for his displeasure is very simple. Fang Jue's statement is simply asking for credit. This is taking all the achievements of Ibiza on his own. It doesn't mention that he, the major shareholder, is behind the scenes. dedication and effort.
In addition, in this statement, Fang Jue thanked the fans, the players, and the club staff, but he didn't thank him, which made Fatty a little upset.
Forget it, don't worry about it like him, now I absolutely control Ibiza, and the future can be expected.
...
"The fat guy must be very proud now, he must be very high-spirited." Fang Jue said.
It was now late June.
At the shareholders meeting of the Ibiza club in early June, the club chairman Reberto announced his resignation. He became the honorary chairman of the club, and Li Zihua, the absolute majority shareholder of the club, officially became the chairman of the Ibiza club.
Yes, Leiberto also sold his shares to Fatty by a large percentage, and he only kept a symbolic three percent of the shares.
Now, Fatty already owns 97% of the shares of Ibiza Club.
Fang Jue just sighed, and then focused on his own affairs.
"The procedure has been completed, and we are waiting for the review and approval of the English Football Association and the Premier League organizing committee." Papa said.
They have transferred the remaining 27.5 million pounds into a special account, which will be used to repay the debt owed by Aston Villa to the bank.
That is to say, Fang Jue and Papa's F&P company has already paid all the 96.5 million pounds for the acquisition of Aston Villa, and the asset review, acquisition, and certification processes have basically been completed, and now they are waiting for the approval of the relevant official departments of the Premier League. With the approval, it can be declared that the acquisition with an amount of up to 96.5 million pounds is completed.
...
"How is the situation within the team?" Fang Jue asked.
Although the acquisition has not been finalized, Fang Jue and Ms. Papa have arranged for a team to enter the Aston Villa Club and have begun to take over the club's operations.
Fang Jue didn't care about the management of the club. He believed that Papa had hired a professional team to work.
Fang Jue cares about the team, to be precise, his players.
"Martin O'Neill has resigned," Papa said. "Randy Lerner has fulfilled his promise."
The current head coach of Aston Villa, Martin O'Neill, left before the club completed the acquisition. Whether he was fired or resigned, he had to leave anyway. This was a request made during the acquisition negotiations. He did not want this matter to be left behind. He and Papa's hands to deal with.
I don’t know how Randy Lerner and Martin O’Neill talked about it. Presumably, they paid part of the liquidated damages and finally let Martin O’Neill choose to resign. In fact, O’Neill himself has no face to stay. Two consecutive losses, what is this concept?
"The club has suspended the introduction and transfer of players." Papa said, "However, Bob said that some players have contacted him many times and want to transfer and leave."
Bob Clark is a German, a doctor of economics from the University of Hamburg, Germany, and a well-known senior manager. He is a senior talent dug from Sir Kruger by Miss Papa. He is now the head of the management team. In the future, he will serve as the chief executive of Aston Villa.
"Who is it?" Fang Jue asked.
"Gareth Barry, he always wanted to go to Manchester City."
Fang Jue frowned. Gareth Barry has been trying to transfer away from Aston Villa. Last summer, Gareth Barry was close to joining the Premier League giants Liverpool. Plus 17.5 million pounds in exchange for Gareth Barry, but Liverpool was not satisfied with this price, and eventually the talks between the two parties collapsed.
You know, at that time Liverpool had already spent about 20 million pounds on Keane, but Barry, who had been negotiating for a longer period of time, ended without a problem. Captain, and "The Times" stated that in order to keep people, the team will raise Barry's salary substantially, reaching 70,000 pounds per week, and next year may not create obstacles to his transfer.
In the end, Gareth Barry renewed his contract and his salary increased to £65,000 a week.
In fact, although Barry stayed last summer, his prospects at Villa were not good. O'Neill imposed a fine of 100,000 pounds on him, as well as a suspension. For a period of time last season, Villa fans kept booing their captain and shouting the name of "Judas" during the game against Varshall. .
Although the relationship between the two parties eased later, there was a rift and it was impossible to fully restore it to the original.
Fang Jue has checked the confidential information of Aston Villa Club. Last season, Liverpool's offer was not as exaggerated as the media exaggerated. Liverpool's offer to Gareth Barry was 13 million pounds.
What makes Fang Jue feel dissatisfied most is that Aston Villa actually reached an agreement with Gareth Barry to let Gareth Barry leave this season.
This made Fang feel that the team's new head coach was a little passive.
Moreover, Gareth Barry publicly expressed his favor to Manchester City, which also makes Aston Villa embarrassing now.
Just a few days ago, Gareth Barry was photographed meeting Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes in a hotel. Then, a close friend of Gareth Barry told the media: "He met Manchester City in a hotel. Manager Mark Hughes, Hughes emphasized City's ambitions, which interested Gareth."
Fang Jue rubbed his temples, this matter gave him a headache, not to mention whether Barry is suitable for his tactical system, this player is the captain of Aston Villa, which makes Fang Jue have to think carefully, he is worried cause a chain reaction.
At the moment of club ownership transfer, stability is the first element.
The captain of the team took the lead in fleeing. This is not good news. Although Aston Villa 'promised' Gareth Barry last summer, the media will not care so much, they will only hype Aston Villa. The captain is not optimistic about the club's prospects and wants to flee.
...
"The Ibiza club held a press conference and announced the team's new head coach, the former Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos became the head coach of the defending champion team..."
Alfonso's bar.
Ibiza fans drink beer and watch the news.
On TV, Mr. Juande Ramos in a suit and leather shoes appeared accompanied by the club chairman Li Zihua, "Mr. Ramos is a real champion coach. I believe that Ibiza will have a better future under his leadership." In the future...' Mr. Chairman looked very high-spirited.
"The Ibiza club held a press conference and announced the team's new head coach, the former Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos became the head coach of the defending champion team..."
Juande Ramos had only signed a contract with Real Madrid for half a year at that time. The two parties agreed that they could consider renewing the contract after the end of the season. However, after successfully fighting the fire and helping Real Madrid get the third place in La Liga, the Real Madrid club did not Choosing to continue to trust Juande Ramos, the two sides broke up fairly amicably.
