The biggest fanatic in football

Although it is not realistic to directly buy a British Championship club, Lisanna's idea still gave Lee Polo some inspiration.

Now that he is considered a successful person, it is time to give back to society.

He first contacted the Clapton club where he had played for three years. This amateur team has now been promoted from the ninth level to the eighth level, but it is still just a group of amateurs, and many of the players are still Lee Polo's senior players.

teammate.

Wealth never returns to its hometown, like walking at night in brocade clothes. Lee Polo also had a little bit of vanity. Seeing this group of real football enthusiasts, he immediately took out his checkbook and donated up to 50,000 pounds to his old club for free.

funds.

Clapton's general manager almost knelt down to him on the spot!

You know, two years ago, Lee Polo, who was still playing here, had a basic salary of only 20 pounds per week!

50,000 pounds is almost equivalent to the activity expenses of this group of amateurs for two seasons!

The general manager had nothing to repay and immediately appointed him as "Honorary Director of Clapton Club", even though this amateur club did not have a board of directors structure at all...

As a privilege, Lee Polo and his family and friends can watch Clapton's league games for free at any time - cup games still require an additional fee.

The second thing was to contact Wimbledon and Valencia and arrange a friendly match for both parties.

Even though one side is the new La Liga champion and the other side is just a newly promoted team from the English Championship, the management of the Bat Corps readily listened to Lee Polo's suggestion and agreed to such an arrangement. They also promised that, after deducting the necessary costs, the game

All ticket proceeds will be given to the Kuangbang.

Powell, the general manager of the Crazy Gang, doesn't care about the ticket revenue. After all, in the past season, Wimbledon made so much money in the Europa League that he has already taken advantage of the offseason to expand the stadium.

To say it is an expansion, it is just restoring the grandstand seats from 4722 to 6299 more than 20 years ago...

While communicating about the warm-up match, Lee Polo also asked Powell in a subtle way:

"Is it possible that Wimbledon will be taken over by a new owner?"

After hearing this question, Powell's eyes widened as if he were looking at a fool:

"Oh God, you can't be serious, can you?"

The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Polo was even a little unbelievable:

"It is in order to resist the erosion of capital on football that we took back the name of the Mad Gang from Milton Keynes! This Mad Gang belongs 100% to the fans!"

Li Polo opened his mouth and finally understood his point of view:

"So... there is no such thing as an acquisition?"

Powell also understood what he meant. After staring for a long time, the manager shook his head:

"Unless... we can get the fans association and let them transfer management rights."

After hearing a possibility, Li Poluo immediately became energetic:

"Is this difficult?"

Powell spread his hands:

"I'm afraid you underestimate the energy of those passionate fans."

Li Polo rubbed his chin:

"I mean, I have a friend who is the vice president of the football fans association, and he can definitely help me."

Lisanna's biological eldest brother Mike Taylor!

-

"Are you crazy? You want to buy our team?"

After hearing Polo Lee's idea, Vice President Mike's first thought was to persuade him to step back from the brink.

Li Polo calmly held down his uncle:

"I am a professional player, and I know that running a club is not an easy task, but...it is rare that Lisanna has made such a wish to me, and if possible, I still want to help him realize it. "

Mike rolled his eyes:

"Then if I don't talk nonsense to you, how much money do you have in your pocket?"

Li Polo stretched out a hand:

Mike laughed so much that a snot bubble almost appeared in his nose:

"Five million? I'm afraid that's not enough."

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"Add another 0."

Mike fell into a brief silence, and finally took a sip of water to calm down:

"are you serious."

Li Polo nodded:

"You can help me, right?"

Mike reached out and rubbed his nose:

"Okay, I can indeed help you with the acquisition, and I can even help you lower the price. For example, let's take a look at the Barnsley team, which has also been promoted to the English Championship. They have been trying to sell it in recent years, and the valuation is about It’s about 15 million pounds, but their infrastructure is better and the stadium is much larger than ours (23,000 seats). Wimbledon’s offer must be lower..."

Li Poluo was a little surprised:

"This number is much lower than I thought."

Mike shrugged:

"After all, it's not the Premier League. If you want to buy Manchester United, I'm afraid 2 billion won't do it."

He paused briefly:

"If you want to invest in the football industry, there are actually many good choices, such as Wolves, Nottingham Forest, and Leeds. They are all very good, with better geographical locations and greater development potential. As for our team, Just one stadium severely restricts profitability..."

For a stadium with a capacity of only a few thousand people, the ticket revenue alone will be several million less than others in a season...

Li Polo pondered for a moment and asked a key question:

"How much does it cost to build a stadium around Wimbledon?"

Mike was driven crazy by him:

"When Arsenal built the Emirates Stadium ten years ago, they spent about 470 million. Although the land around Wimbledon is much cheaper than in urban London, the price and labor have doubled several times in the past ten years. You can still refer to This number."

Li Polo thought for a few more seconds and asked the final question:

"If I really do this, will Bruce give me a loan?"

Michael didn't expect that he hadn't given up yet and answered him very seriously:

"When it comes to work, that old man won't show you any kindness, even if you ask Lisanna to beg him! The interest he should charge won't be less than a penny!"

Li Polo finally breathed out:

"I understand, then let's put this plan on hold for now."

He suddenly felt a little regretful. When he bet on Leicester City last year, why didn't he bet more?

-

Although he knew that being addicted to sports betting was unreasonable, as a time traveler, Lee Polo still couldn't control his impulse at the moment.

There is really nothing we can do. Who made the advertisements for the 2016 European Cup all over the streets?

Who made William Hill's odds of Portugal winning as high as 1:25?

[Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!]

The moment he pressed the bet, Lee Polo took a photo.

Then he called his club teammate Cancelo:

"Joao, please send me Ronaldo's contact information. I will contact him if I need anything."

Cancelo, who was confused, complied obediently.

Without saying anything, Li Polo sent a message to Ronaldo:

"Dear Chris:

I have put all my wealth on you, so you have to give me a good kick!

——I will always love you, Lee Polo."

Just 5 minutes later, Li Polo received feedback:

[Negative sentiment from Cristiano Ronaldo, 777!]

-

A few days later, on June 10, the 2016 European Cup, which attracted worldwide attention, kicked off in France.

Portugal, which Li Polo had high hopes for, unexpectedly overturned in the first round of the group stage and was tied 1:1 by Iceland...

Although he vaguely remembered that Portugal did stumble in this tournament, Lee Polo was still a little worried.

After watching the live broadcast, he picked up his phone without saying a word and sent three encouraging text messages to Ronaldo:

"Don't tell me you know me from now on. You can't even play with a group of amateur players?"

"The land area of ​​Iceland is not as big as the swimming pool in your villa!"

"If you don't play well for me, I will destroy you every time I see you next season!"

【Negative emotions from Ronaldo, 777!】

This time, he not only received Ronaldo’s experience points, but also received a reply message:

"Can you stop being so unreasonable? In the first game... I didn't play at all!"

And...it’s because you hurt my ankle with a shovel before!”

Li Polo looked at Ronaldo's reply and threw away his mobile phone:

"Can you blame me?"

"Isn't it your fault that Benzema didn't help you share the pressure?"
