"Li, this might be a bit presumptuous of me. I was just passing on a message and asking around. Don't be angry... uh... I mean, don't take it to heart..." Before getting down to business, Brinkham started casting buffs on himself.

Seeing the FA CEO's demeanor, coupled with the information he revealed during his last conversation with Morse, it was clear that...

Li Shiguang certainly understood.

Judging from Brimham's words, the UAE tycoon has his sights set on him!

But the Premier League season has ended.

Has Mansur not reached an agreement with Thaksin yet?

Why are they still asking other clubs if they're for sale at a time like this?

With this question in mind.

Li Shiguang looked directly at Bringham and nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Mark, you haven't even said what it is, how do you know I'll be angry? Don't worry, as long as you don't tell me you want to buy my Leeds United, I won't be angry."

"Well.."

Brinkham felt a little guilty after Li Shiguang's seemingly unintentional but actually pointed remark, and subconsciously asked a question.

"Li, you found out?"

"What do you know!?" Li Shiguang raised an eyebrow slightly, staring intently at Brim.

Li Shiguang's expression didn't seem to be faking it.

Brimham breathed a slight sigh of relief.

····

Today, he approached Li Shiguang to ask if Li Shiguang was willing to sell Leeds United!

About half a year ago.

Sheikh Mansour, from the Al Nahyan family in the UAE, approached Brimham, expressing his desire to buy a Premier League club. He explicitly stated that he hoped Brimham could act as an intermediary, preferably to buy a well-established Premier League club. If Brimham could help Mansour complete the acquisition, Mansour would pay Brimham a substantial intermediary fee.

If anyone else had made this request, FA CEO Brimham probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.

After all, anyone who can afford to buy a Premier League club is a millionaire.

Having dealt with so many wealthy people every day, Brimham also has his own pride; not just anyone can order him around!

But this time is different.

The person seeking his help was Sheikh Mansour, a Middle Eastern tycoon whose economic power, backed by the Al Nahyan family, was beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy individuals.

From an official standpoint, as the CEO of the FA, making the Premier League better and more influential is one of Brim's jobs, and he has done a very good job in this regard.

The new century begins.

With various open policies, the Premier League has attracted more and more investment, which has led to an increasing number of big-name stars coming to the Premier League, making Premier League teams more competitive.

Premier League teams have been a fixture in the Champions League finals for the past four years, and this season's Champions League final features a Premier League derby, which is the strongest evidence of this!

Personally, although he didn't know the exact figures, Bringham could easily guess that the "considerable" Mansour mentioned was probably really quite substantial. He was just acting as a middleman, asking the Premier League teams that Mansour was interested in if they were willing to sell. Even if they disagreed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

So deep down, Bringham absolutely agreed with Mansour's request. Before this, Bringham had actually approached Liverpool, who were on the list, but was rejected by Morse.

But that's why Brinham just applied the buff to himself.

It's actually quite simple.

Leeds United had just won the Premier League title an hour ago, and now Li Shih has approached their owner to ask if the club is for sale. Plus, Li Shih has a precedent of publicly criticizing the Football Association.

If this weren't handled with a buff, Brimham was genuinely worried that if Li Shiguang heard what he wanted to say, he'd kick him out of the office.

····

While Brinham was thinking.

Li Shiguang seemed to be getting a little impatient. He frowned slightly and spoke again: "Mark, just say what you want to say. The players are still waiting for me in the locker room to celebrate the championship!"

Li Shiguang's voice interrupted Brinkham's thoughts.

Putting aside his tangled thoughts, Bringham steeled himself, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, saying, "Leeds... it's like this, I wanted to ask if you have any plans to sell Leeds United?"

really!

Li Shiguang sneered inwardly, his smile vanishing as he feigned extreme surprise at Bringham, and shouted, "What do you mean?! What FA rule did Leeds United violate?!"

Hearing Li Shiguang's unusual shouts.

Allen, who had been standing at the door since entering, walked over quietly... Of course, as he came over, Allen also picked up the small vase that was placed on the cabinet by the door.

Except for Allen.

Brinham was also startled by Li Shiguang's sudden increase in volume.

A jolt ran through me.

He turned his head.

Then she saw Allen standing beside her... and the small vase that was barely visible in Allen's right hand.

Surely not, bro!

What Allen was holding startled Bringham, who turned pale and waved his hands frantically at Li Shiguang, saying, "Li! Li! Don't misunderstand! Leeds United hasn't violated any FA regulations!"

Li Shiguang persisted: "So you want to play the racist card?! You want me, someone of Asian descent, to get out of the Premier League?!"
