Chapter 70 Thaksin and Ferguson
"Mr. Thaksin, what do you think of this game?" Ferguson took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, tore open the package, took out a piece and handed him the letter.

Ferguson initially chewed gum because he had a heart condition and chewing gum could relieve stress.Later, I chewed a lot, and it became a habit, and I always carried a few boxes with me.

"No thank you." Thaksin waved his hand and refused. As a businessman, Thaksin believed in the rules of life and controlled drinking games. Although I don't know most of the players, games of this level are rare. " Thaksin replied very honestly.

"These two teams have a characteristic. Their players are not outstanding, not even a single one with a name." Ferguson wanted to give him a new piece of chewing gum, and took the opportunity to take one himself, but he believed he didn't take it. Ferguson could only hand the piece of chewing gum he had drawn out to the piece of the letter, and stuff them back into the box together.Swallowed hard, stopped the desire to chew gum: "The head coaches of these two teams are very good and capable. They can use the existing players to knead the most powerful tactics , to the highest possible level."

"Sir, what do you mean?" He caught something vaguely, but he didn't make it clear.

"Mr. Thaksin, I already know why you are here." Ferguson doesn't like to test each other and talk in circles like a politician, which reminds him of those vampire-like managers, so he directly cut to the point: "You The first time you came to see me, I think it was about your acquisition of a football club?"

"Yes." Thaksin admitted.

"I think what you want to choose is a football club that can attract public attention and form a huge social influence in a short period of time." Ferguson is also concerned about current affairs, so it is clear what he wants: "Acquisition of a wealthy club Although the club can achieve this effect in the short term, it has no effect on your own reputation."

This sentence means that Thaksin's purchase of a wealthy club does not have much political influence on him.This is like Thaksin owning a piece of land. If you give this land to a country, you will make little contribution to the country; but if you give this land to a village, then Thaksin will be loved by the whole village.

"That's the truth." Thaksin was a little ashamed: "Actually, my original goal was to buy Liverpool. This club is a veteran giant, and its strength is not weak."

"Liverpool is not a good choice." Ferguson shook his head: "Those old calendars are now in museums. Liverpool is no longer what it used to be. Liverpool has a large number of fans, and they are all conservative. If you insist on buying Liverpool If it is said, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among some conservatives. As far as I know, the British Parliament in recent years has been governed by conservatives..."

Ferguson flatly rejected Thaksin's plan.

With the expert guidance of Ferguson, Thaksin quickly gave up the idea of ​​​​acquiring Liverpool.In fact, this is just an idea. The funds needed to acquire Liverpool are not much less than the acquisition of Manchester United.

In fact, from Ferguson's heart, Thaksin believes that he can choose any one, but he cannot choose Liverpool.Ferguson still remembers the oath he made at the beginning of his coaching to pull Liverpool down from the throne.If Thaksin is allowed to acquire Liverpool, then the Red Army, which has obtained a large amount of money, cannot guarantee that there will be no scene of the return of the overlord.

Money plays an ever-increasing role in modern football, as evidenced by Mourinho's two consecutive league titles after Roman Abramovich took charge of Chelsea.

People are selfish, Ferguson is not a saint, he certainly will not be completely just to solve the problem to Thaksin.Taking a step back, Thaksin's intention to buy a football club is only as a political bargaining chip.If you talk about club management with him in a big way, it is definitely a blind man lighting a lamp-wasting wax.

"So after consideration, I think that the two teams in today's game meet your requirements. These two teams are now likely to enter the Europa League next season. With the stage of the European war, I believe there will be More people pay attention to these two teams. But afterwards, will the exposure of you, the chairman of the club, be less?"

"Hearing what you said, it is indeed the truth!" His eyes lighted up, "Then can you tell me the pros and cons of these two teams? Or, about which one should I choose?" Team, do you have any good suggestions?"

Although Thaksin pays attention to the Premier League, he is busy with official duties, and his eyes only stay on the strong teams. Teams such as Everton and Manchester City, Thaksin does not know very well.And even if he understood, he would ask Ferguson, a great expert, to guide him.

"From the perspective of the team, Everton's performance has been stable in recent years. The head coach Moyes is very capable and well-managed. He can bring a civilian team into the top few and can play in the Champions League every year. If With a strong capital injection, Moyes can buy more capable players, then Everton may become a strong contender for the championship." Ferguson said.

"What about Manchester City?" Thaksin asked.

"Manchester City, you are seen to be in the top of Manchester City's ranking now, but just two months ago, Manchester City was still struggling in the relegation zone!"

"So amazing?" He wrote with interest. The miracle of ** silk's counterattack is always more exciting than making small troubles and being steady.

"Because they have a new head coach, leading them to ten victories in ten games, oh, plus this game, he has won 11 games in a row. Among these 11 consecutive victories, including my Manchester United!" Ferguson road.

"Hearing your praise, I suddenly want to meet that head coach. The head coach who can defeat you must be an experienced person, right?"

"You guessed it wrong!" Ferguson shook his head and said with a smile: "That is a young man who is only 26 years old. Before that, he was the youth team coach of Manchester City. These 11 games are the first time he has served as the head coach of the first team. Coaching achievements. To put it bluntly, in the past two months, he has been the most talked about person in the Premier League."

"Only 26 years old? Really young..." he said.If there is such a head coach, coupled with such excellent results, I am afraid that Manchester City will not receive too much attention, right?
He believes in the bottom of his heart and has already begun to lean towards Manchester City.

"From a financial point of view, Everton is basically in balance, but Manchester City owes as much as 3000 million pounds, and the club has no ability to repay. If there is a capital injection at this time, then the resistance they encounter will definitely be reduced. Much smaller!" When Ferguson said this, his meaning was already obvious.

Thaksin's eyes shined, 3000 million euros was nothing to him.But this act of sending charcoal in the snow will definitely allow him to obtain the greatest social effect in the shortest time.

More importantly, this team is in the same city as Manchester United.If he can become the owner of this club, there will definitely be a lot of news related to Manchester United.Such news, good or bad, will increase Thaksin's exposure.

Thinking of this, Thaksin suddenly felt a little ashamed.Just now Ferguson persuaded him not to buy Liverpool. Thaksin thought that Ferguson was afraid of Liverpool's rise again and threatened Manchester United's position.But now Ferguson simply recommends Manchester City, Manchester United's rival in the same city, to him. Does this show how broad-minded Ferguson is?
Thinking of this, Thaksin is full of respect for Ferguson.
