Revive Liverpool

Chapter 150 Demolition Problem
In the end, Liverpool won the Merseyside derby. Liverpool have won all two Merseyside derbys this season.

This battle allowed Liverpool to win the largest derby victory in the past 29 years.

This also makes Liverpool tightly bite Manchester United and Manchester City in the league standings.

As the chairman of Liverpool, Li Nan, Li Nan invited the chairman of Everton, the deputy mayor of Liverpool, Ann O'Byrne, and the speaker of the city council to watch the game and discuss some things by the way.

Although Liverpool was in debt before and was on the verge of bankruptcy, after Li Nan settled in and repaid the team's huge debts for the team, the team also began to enter a virtuous circle.

Especially this season, Liverpool won the League Cup and won the first trophy in six years. In addition, although Liverpool has now been eliminated from the Champions League, Liverpool has entered the knockout round of the Champions League this season.

In addition, Liverpool's transfer operations during the recent transfer window period did not waste a lot of money. Although they also spent a lot of money to introduce David Luiz and Suarez, their subsequent performance is also worthy of their own price increases.

All these make the bank more optimistic about Liverpool's future, so that Liverpool's finances can remain healthy for a long time.

And Everton's financial situation has always been good.

Yet the poverty figures for areas around Liverpool and Everton are dismal: 11 of their neighbourhoods are in the poorest 1% of the country.

According to the council's latest assessment, 43 per cent of children in the area around Anfield and 49 per cent in the area around Everton live in poverty.

At the same time, the average life expectancy of people here is six and a half years lower than the national average (81 years old), and 6% of children are obese, which is also 32% higher than the national average.

In other words, the poverty of residents around Liverpool and Everton Stadium is an issue worthy of consideration by clubs and governments.

And Li Nan invited these people today to discuss this issue.

Although Li Nan has no political status, the issue of poor people near the club should be considered by Liverpool officials.

But in order to realize the revival of Liverpool, this problem is not a problem that Li Nan can skip.

And for those Liverpool officials who want to achieve more political achievements, they definitely hope to make some achievements.

Although Britain is a capitalist country, which modern country can completely ignore the wishes of the people at the bottom?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the members of the parliaments in bourgeois countries have to take care of the votes of the local citizens during elections, right?
Although they vote for them, they may not be able to realize their political promises, but they still have to do what they should do during the election.

……

Although Li Nan, as the chairman of Liverpool, is the host of this gathering today, the protagonists today are the mayor of Liverpool and members of the city council.

Although Li Nan is a big capitalist, Li Nan is an outsider after all and has little influence in Liverpool's political circles. On this issue, Li Nan has not been able to intervene too much.

But because Li Nan is a capitalist, although he doesn't have much money, he still has hundreds of millions of pounds in property. Although it is all real estate, it is the football club Liverpool.

Although Li Nan is not a particularly big capitalist, money is money after all, and it can't hold back Li Nan's influence.

This is why so many capitalists want to invest in sports clubs, especially football clubs.

The people who got together in the end didn't come up with any good solutions, although Liverpool and Everton have been working hard for these poor people.

For example, a charity event will be held before each Merseyside Derby match, accepting food donated by fans and handing it over to the poor nearby through the food bank.

However, the charitable approach of the two teams cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and cannot provide these people with a job, so it can only be temporarily relieved.

Of course, there is also a way to allow these people to live well without working. Of course, this method should also work in China.

That is demolition. As long as you become a demolition household, you will instantly become a millionaire, tens of millions, or even a billionaire.

But in a capitalist country in dire straits, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen.

For example, for Li Nan, as a capitalist, Li Nan does not want to rescue the poor people in the dire capitalist world.

Liverpool announced that it has abandoned plans to build a new stadium and will continue to use the current Anfield stadium.

So in order to make the current Anfield stadium meet the needs of Liverpool, the current Liverpool stadium needs to be expanded.

In addition to the expansion, Li Nan also plans to re-build the commercial area near the Anfield Stadium to be about the same size as the Anfield later in the original time and space, or even larger.

But because the demolition and reconstruction work will be done by the Liverpool club itself, so as the team's owner Li Nan, it will all be spent on his own money.

Li Nan is definitely unwilling to spend all his money on demolition and give his money to the residents near Liverpool. After all, he is a capitalist anyway, how can he not have the face of a capitalist?
How can there be such a person if he is scolded every day and wants to be a money-spreading boy?
Of course, having said that, the demolition of the community near the Anfield Stadium will not cost Li Nan too much money.

Before Li Nan came to Liverpool, the club had acquired most of the communities near the stadium.

It is precisely because Liverpool acquired most of the communities near the stadium that Liverpool played an unseemly role
Because the club bought many houses there, but the relevant construction plans have not been carried out for a long time, resulting in some houses being vacant for many years.

Of course, as a football club that relies on local fans, Liverpool must not just sit back and watch this kind of thing that affects the club's image happen and remain indifferent.

Now, the real estate vacancy problem here is mostly resolved.

Most of the terraces here have been renovated by landlords including YHG housing society, which owns 92 homes.

It is precisely because of the demolition that some people are dissatisfied. In order to improve the relationship with the surrounding community, the Liverpool Club established the "Red Neighbors" plan.
