Golden Greenery

The schedule was tight. The morning after the game, Manchester City left Hannover and returned to Manchester. There are only fifty hours left before the away game against Watford in the fifth round of the Premier League, which is like chasing a wolf.

Having won the game and being warmly received by the Madibao people, Manchester City came out of this trip with a lot of dignity. The sumptuous night banquet and the wonderful but vulgar program after the banquet made some idiots feel so happy that they were reluctant to leave when they left.

Stirling asked Debich: "So Madibao is so hospitable? I will come here often with my girl when nothing happens." Stirling has a wife and a son. When he said "niu", he obviously didn't mean the child's mother.

"What are you thinking about!" Debich rolled his eyes: "The Madibao people are proud. Don't think that they will entertain anyone who comes. It's not just for the sake of Boss Zhuo."

"Don't you care about your face? You are also from Madibao."

Debich sneered: "Of course I have face, but if I want the whole team to be entertained, only the face of Boss Zhuo will do. If it's just for my face, I can bring three or five people with me. In this regard, the Madibao people, Very disciplined.”

Debich is an understanding person. From the players to the coaches to the staff, Manchester City was entertained by Madiburg. It could only be Zhuoyang's face, even though he neither played in the game nor attended the night banquet.

Zhuo Yang did not return to Manchester with the team, but took leave for a day.

On this day, after having an in-depth talk with Chairman Angus Mullen, Zhuoyang met with the club's four giants - director Hasler, sports director Muller, youth training director Stu Bernal, and financial director Sylvie Ya, we communicated one by one.

Then he exchanged opinions with head coach Carlisle and three old brothers Rand, Ackerman, and Edmund, and also had a phone call with all five brothers.

There were also fans leader and old friend Big SB Grantham, past mentor and current leader Professor Norman, and Zhuo Yang also visited one by one. He had a very busy day, and it wasn't until it got dark again that he boarded his private plane and returned to Manchester.

In the next half month, Madibao Club released a series of official announcements.

First of all, the club expressed its full trust in head coach Marcus Carlisle. The two parties have reached an agreement that Madibao will renew Carlisle's contract for five years, and the contract salary has also increased significantly.

Secondly, Madibao Club elaborated on the contract issues of the three veterans of the "Peninsula Three Elites" and stated that it will adopt a "coffee-style contract renewal" in the future.

What is a coffee-style renewal? Just unlimited refills.

The contracts of Mad Dog Rand, Hammer Ackerman, and Superman Edmund will be automatically renewed for one year at the end of each season unless they themselves refuse or object, until the three of them take the initiative not to renew their contracts. Until then, otherwise it will be forever.

Next, comes the more important part.

Madibao Club announced to the outside world that the club has received new financing and will start a new construction plan from now on.

Expand the youth training center at the foot of the Eifel Mountains, increasing the training ground from the current 11 to 18;

The No. 9 training ground of the training center will be expanded into a standard competition venue with a capacity of 15,000 seats. In the future, it will become the home ground of Madiburg B team. The stadium will be named ‘Eiffel Mountain Stadium’, brackets - temporary name;

Build a comprehensive administrative building, a comprehensive training building, and a medical and scientific research building in the youth training center.

The above projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

After completion, the youth training center was renamed ‘Madibao Sports City’, brackets - temporary name. The administrative headquarters of the Madibao Club and all other institutions will be moved from the peninsula to the Sports City. Including the first team, all training will be conducted in the sports city in the future.

After this, the club will begin the Victor Stadium expansion plan, and the entire peninsula will be used as land for a future new stadium.

The new stadium will maintain the current style and appearance, and will also maintain the characteristics of three stands and one water, and retain the exclusive names of the existing stands. However, the stands will be taller and wider, with three floors. After completion, the total capacity of the stadium will reach 45,500 seats. , becoming a five-star football stadium that can host international competitions.

To accommodate the expansion of the stadium, the peninsula trestle leading to the stadium will also be widened to three times its current size.

The new stadium reconstruction project aims to complete comprehensive construction between 201 and 2020.

During the expansion of the new stadium, the Madiburg first team will temporarily use the Eiffel Stadium, the home ground of the Training City B team, as its home match venue. At the same time, the Madibao youth training echelon will gradually expand from the current to 12 teams in 8 age groups.

The outside world was shocked by Madibao's sudden ambition. Who didn't know that Mullen was now a hard-working and poor boss? He had dug up the treasure of the Viking pirate "Black Annie"?

According to insiders, Madibo Club has received an initial financing of 170 million euros, and there is no doubt about the strength and credibility of the subsequent financing commitments.

Smart people are always smart people. As soon as the construction plan of Fort Madi was announced, many international brands, such as Adidas, Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Allianz, etc., immediately expressed their strong interest in cooperation, either sponsoring or crowning the project. Names can be discussed.

Under the cover of these public excitements, another move of Chairman Mullen received much less attention. He reorganized the Madiburg Club and established the Madiburg Members Club, taking the initiative to Reformed into the '50+1' model that is in line with the mainstream of German football. The entire promotion process will also be gradually completed along with the construction of the club.

Let me briefly explain what ‘50+1’ means. Germany stipulates that any consortium or individual capital acquires a football club. Even if all the shares are purchased, the original club members still have more than 50% of the voting rights for the team.

There can be exceptions. If a company or individual has fully invested continuously for more than 20 years (new regulations of the Hannover Court in 2015), it is not subject to the ‘50+1’ restriction. Currently, only four German football clubs, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Huocun and Madiburg, meet this exception.

Angus Mullen has been investing in Madiburg Club alone for 27 years. He is the only boss of Madiburg. But now he has voluntarily given up his dictatorship and his right to play with Madibao at will.

Of course, he no longer has to be scolded by many fans who can't stand it. Dietmar Hopp, the owner of Huo Village, looked over with resentment: Old Ma, I am the only one left to be scolded, how can you feel so embarrassed?

Whether the '50+1' policy is good or not is highly controversial. It not only limits the enthusiasm of capital, but also prevents capital speculation and bubbles to a certain extent. It has a closed side and a certain degree of advancement.

As for how we fans view it, it depends on where you stand.

Is football a game of capital or a people's sport? Should it exist in the prosperity of capital, or should it be rooted in urban communities? When capital plays wantonly with football, should it be restrained?

At the end of the day, what is football? Do fans have any say in their favorite teams? Do fans deserve a say?

As for Zhuo Yang, he supports the ‘50+1’ policy. Moreover, he believes that the '50+1', which combines the advantages of Serie A's 'company system' and La Liga's 'membership system', is the relatively most reasonable and healthiest football club system.

In the short-term professionalization process of Chinese football, more than 40 teams have completely perished due to various reasons due to their parent companies, including many championship-level teams. The team, players, and fans are like concubines who are tired of being played with, and are casually abandoned into the grave.

But this situation will never happen to the ‘50+1’ policy club. It can sink and be depressed, but it will not die.

If you look at Chinese clubs, you will know what evil they will do when capital completely ignores the feelings of fans. When the rights of capital cannot be caged, fans will always be just a fart.
