"The pitch, it's a problem." Joe Lewis squints his eyes, takes a sip of his cigar, spits out the smoke and lets it drift around.

Tottenham Hotspur, as a team with historical background, belongs to London area, has a huge fan base, and also has the influence of quasi giants. From when or even more than Chelsea's fame, they don't know how much. As Arsenal's arch enemy, they are weak.

It's such a balance of payments. Although there are some debts, the team with enough profits to cover the debts is limited by the scale of white deer Lane stadium, with only 36240 seats. The annual revenue per game day is about 44 million pounds. The revenue per game day alone is nearly 60 million pounds lower than that of Manchester United with the Old Trafford stadium.

However, how many seats can be expanded by the expansion of the stadium is undoubtedly the best solution. However, the cost of building a new stadium, even in the purchase of two teams of the size of Tottenham, is a huge project.

Don't think that Joe Lewis and Levi didn't come up with the idea of building a new stadium. Unfortunately, they are really lack of mental strength. At this time, they are in good operation condition. Under the balance of payments, it's no doubt that they are not worth the loss to build a stadium with a huge debt.

In the face of fierce competition for Champions League qualification, the best way to get rid of this burden is to sell the club. After all, Lewis bought Tottenham for 22 million pounds.

"The valuation of £ 220 million, I think you should be able to accept, pay me £ 145 million, Tottenham belong to you. Young man, this is my bottom line. If you don't accept the price, I'm sorry. " After a moment's meditation, Lewis finally said in a low voice.

Although the tone of the other side is uncomfortable, it is sincere. After all, the negotiation has lasted for more than two weeks before. The meeting between the two big bosses is undoubtedly the hope of an end, so that the club which has been in turmoil can settle down as soon as possible.

“OK!” Andy didn't hesitate. He accepted the price completely. With a smile on his face, he reached out his hand and shook it with Lewis's old hand. "Happy cooperation, thank you."

"Young man, I hope white lilies bloom in your hands!" Joe Lewis said with a light smile that he didn't feel any sadness or regret for selling Tottenham. For the investor with five teams, Tottenham has nothing special. It's the most important thing to bring him huge profits.

Joe Lewis looks back at the ugly Levi and says, "Levi, let's sell your 5% stake to Andy."

Everyone's eyes are on Levi, the so-called iron pole of Tottenham, but Andy's eyes are very indifferent. For the remaining 8% shares, he has already figured out the countermeasures. Undoubtedly, he still diluted the shares outside through capital injection, and then slowly squeezed them until they were diluted. It's basically the meat on the chopping board. He can deal with it as he likes 。

"Well!" Levi is not a fool either. He is also a British born financial expert. Naturally, he knows that if he sticks to it, he will face the fate of being crushed into cinders by this young man with money.

Hearing Levi's response, the whole cabin atmosphere was completely relaxed. In addition to Andy and Joe Lewis continue to talk about art and yachts, the other two parties immediately began to quickly organize various signing documents.

It wasn't long before the contract agreement was sorted out. On the living room table of the yacht, Andy and Lewis had signed it.

Christina, an assistant in ol professional clothes, hurriedly took out the checkbook from her bag and handed it to Andy. He did not stop. She opened the checkbook, held the signing pen, wrote a check by brushing, skillfully tore it off, put it aside, and then wrote another one, tore it off.

"Gentlemen, this is yours. Let's see if there is any problem." Andy smiles, hands each with a check to Joe Lewis and levy.

After they took the check and looked at the numbers, Joe Lewis picked up the share transfer on the table and handed it to Andy. "Tottenham belongs to you!"

After opening a bottle of champagne for a little celebration, Andy politely refused Joe Lewis's invitation to invite him to lunch. With a face of excitement, red faced David Dunn and a bit of gloom, Levi left the luxury yacht and got on their own. The team drove north to white deer Lane in London to pick up his team.

"Boss, after receiving the team, I will go to the Premier League Committee for reporting. Tomorrow, after the Committee releases the official news of the transaction, a press conference can be held to introduce new Tottenham to the media." David Dunne's smile is very bright. His eyes are shining brightly. He introduces Andy the next process.

"Well, what are the arrangements within the club?" Andy pressed the share transfer on Tui, tapping his fingers gently. It's not the first time he bought the team. There's no big excitement. After all, the Rockets, a team he likes very much, are all his own. After the surging mood at that time, the excitement and happiness are not so strong now."Sports director David Comolli to manager Franco Baldini may need to change several important positions..." David Dunn sighed, looking at the young boss's face.

Andy casually waved and asked, "is there a suitable replacement? I don't want to affect the team's performance because of the management's turbulence

"The replacement candidates are all ready-made. In the negotiation team that my team was building when I was at Arsenal, all of them are the most senior people in the industry. The turbulence of management and the new coach will have a certain impact, and the first half of the season will have some ups and downs. However, I will try to speed up the team's running in David Dunn will not say anything to please his boss. He has not concealed the truth.

To be honest, in addition to the true facts, there is also the most important point that he should be able to trust the young big boss. Before that, where did he deal with his personnel was not a test for him. Unexpectedly, the big boss really gave him full trust and power, which made his trust more sufficient, and he would naturally respond to the boss's trust with sincerity.

"You've done a good job of keeping secrets. So far, no news has been received that Joseph heinks will be the manager of Tottenham. It seems that you want to show him at the press conference."

Hearing the boss's words, David Dunne said with a chuckle: "the previous Tottenham signings relied too much on data analysis and ignored the manager's opinions on one side of the manager's words. The failure of the layman bardini was the same as that of the former director Comolli. The painful lesson is too big. Only by restoring the manager's right of speaking, can the team get better progress.

In the future, it may be possible to build new stadiums to increase competition day revenue. From the winter transfer period, we should change the unfavorable situation that we need to sell core players to balance the financial revenue. Now, the youth and localization strategy implemented by this team coincides with the football philosophy of coach heinks and I.

Any tactics need to be carried out by young players who are energetic and have a sense of obedience. The strategy of completing tactical intervention through psychological adjustment is more suitable for young people

Andy listens to David Dunne's football concept. When he approaches the White Deer Lane stadium, he sees an old building residential area by the side of the road through the window. He can't help wrinkling slightly. The whole stadium is surrounded by some old buildings on three sides. When the team comes to the parking lot at the front gate of the stadium, Andy's brow is even tighter.

Narrow, small and crowded. Even the parking lot is so small. There are almost no supporting facilities around the stadium. There is absolutely no room for flickering, moving and turning, let alone driving the economy around the stadium on the match day.

The team stopped at the gate of the stadium. Andy got out of the car. He didn't care about the photos of the paparazzi who got good news materials. He turned his back to white deer lane, looked around, turned around, and led by Levi, a group of people walked into the Tottenham club office building.

From this moment on, white lily, founded in 1882, ushered in its new Knight! Andy, who has basically completed the privatization of Tottenham, will share the glory with Lili!
