Chapter 577: Ginger is still spicy with age

Only after watching Ian Eyre walk out of the courtyard and leave the front door of the Lanmark Hotel did Yang Huan leisurely take out his mobile phone, enter the address book, find a number and call it.

"Hello, David, it's me, Yang Huan!"

The English Football Association Chairman David Bernstein on the other end of the phone was in a panic.

"Hey, Master Huan, what's the matter?"

Yang Huan heard the noise and smiled faintly. He didn't know if this guy was harassing his female subordinates like his predecessor did.

However, the appearance of the female employees of the English Football Association is really not flattering.

Yang Huan had the honor of meeting Ulrika, the heroine of Eriksson's secretary scandal, but the result almost made him cry.

Are Eriksson and the top leaders of the English Football Association too eager, or is there something wrong with their aesthetic sense?

With that kind of stuff, could he charm the two bigwigs of English football?

Yang Huan really couldn't understand this!

Therefore, if David Bernstein were to use his unspoken rule on a female subordinate who looked even more like Feng Jie than Feng Jie, Yang Huan felt that it would not be surprising at all, because these old guys had such heavy tastes.

I can think this way and laugh this way, but I can't say it out loud.

"It's nothing. I just want to ask you, how are you going to solve the Suarez issue?" Yang Huan asked.

The reason why Ian Ayre decided to send Suarez away, apart from the 40 million pounds in cash, is probably because there are rumors that Suarez will be suspended for at least ten games.

That means he will miss at least the start of next season!

For Liverpool, who regarded the Uruguayan striker as their offensive pillar, this fine was too heavy.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to send Suarez away!

"Uh..." David Bernstein was confused about what Young Master Huan meant. "According to the preliminary decision of the Disciplinary Committee, he will be suspended for ten to fifteen games, and will also be fined a large sum!"

When Yang Huan heard this, he was really shocked.

Oh my god, this suspension ticket is almost as bad as Ferdinand’s urine test scandal, isn’t it?

If this is the case, Liverpool can forget about qualifying for the Champions League next season!

Without Suarez, what will the Reds rely on to challenge for the top four in the league?

"Master Huan, is there any problem?" David Bernstein asked tentatively.

If nothing was wrong, why would Master Huan call and ask for no reason?

Yang Huan nodded and said, "That's right, we are considering bringing in Suarez."

"Bringing in Suarez?" David Bernstein was a little surprised.

Southampton's squad is already strong enough. If they can bring in Suarez...

Suarez, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Gareth Bale, Hazard...

Even if Neymar is sold, it is still a super strong attacking lineup!

But for David Bernstein, who was accustomed to Young Master Huan's lavish spending, he immediately guessed what Yang Huan meant and nodded in understanding.

"Well, this is just a preliminary decision. I intend to propose to the Disciplinary Committee to evaluate Suarez's mental state and psychology. If there is indeed a reason in this regard, we will also give him a lighter sentence."

After hearing this, Yang Huan laughed immediately.

It’s so comfortable to talk to smart people!

You just revealed the slightest hint of your meaning and he immediately understood!

"Is that so? That's fine too!" Yang Huan's tone sounded somewhat reluctant.

"However, I think that since this season's league has not yet ended, the suspension should not be considered across seasons. Didn't the media reveal this before? If the suspension is too long, players will consider switching to other leagues to circumvent the suspension."

David Bernstein nodded.

Master Huan meant that if there is to be a ban, it should be for this season, and it would be best not to extend to next season. Just ban him for a few games as a token of his appreciation.

"But, for something like biting someone, there must be a severe punishment. In my opinion, a fine, a heavy fine!"

David Bernstein's jaw almost dropped when he heard this.

Morality, Master Huan!

According to Liverpool, if there is a fine, the club will definitely share part of it with Suarez.

Southampton is now looking to sign Suarez, so they don't want the suspension to be too long, but the fine is different, which has to be paid immediately.

So, Master Huan’s plan is really…

I can only say that Liverpool is smart and Master Huan is not stupid either!

"I understand, Master Huan!" How could David Bernstein not agree?

For him, this kind of thing is just a matter of words.

Liverpool is not Manchester United, and Rogers is not Ferguson. Do they dare to go against the FA?

"In addition, if the psychological and psychiatric assessment shows that Suarez has problems in this regard, I personally suggest that he should be required to receive psychological counseling and treatment. After all, this player is now the focus of everyone's attention and represents the image of the Premier League. This kind of problem cannot happen again!"

"Okay, I got it!"

"Well, that's fine, that's it!"

"Okay, goodbye, Master Huan!"

After Yang Huan hung up the phone, he curled his lips and laughed.

Ian Eyre's calculations are indeed very accurate, but don't think that I, Young Master Huan, am a fool and an idiot.

How much would it hurt me if Suarez was suspended for that long?

Now, I'm relieved that you've been suspended for four games and fined you a lot. I feel much better now!

Just then, Peter Kenyon, who had just finished talking with Richard Scudmore and was coming downstairs, came over and saw Yang laughing happily, which was a bit strange.

"Master Huan, what are you so happy about?"

Yang Huan told this story with a smile, and Peter Kenyon immediately applauded.

"Ian El has suffered a loss this time!"

But then he thought, "But he didn't lose anything. It's all the club's money. It doesn't matter!"

Yang Huan nodded. This amount of money was nothing for Liverpool!

"By the way, Peter, we need to talk to Richard Scudmore about this matter later and try to downplay it!"

Peter Kenyon understood that since he had convinced the FA, which was responsible for disciplinary action, he must also talk to the Premier League. Otherwise, if the FA's fine was too light and the Premier League was desperately trying to build momentum, wouldn't that be a contradiction?

"We'll have to have a good discussion with the scouts and coaching staff to see how to formulate tactics after Suarez joins the team!"

Peter Kenyon nodded in agreement again. Master Huan always did things in a flawless manner.

"Oh, there's one more thing!"

Yang Huan then told everything about Tottenham Hotspur.

Compared with Suarez's transfer, investing in Tottenham Hotspur is a big deal.

Peter Kenyon fully supports Yang Huan's approach to investing in Tottenham Hotspur.

Isn't it that what Southampton is best at nowadays is observing players?

"Master Huan, this is a brilliant move!" Peter Kenyon clapped his hands in amazement.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Isn't Tottenham Hotspur short of defenders? With their defensive team, Gary Cahill will definitely be the main force, no doubt about it!"

Gary Cahill is the main central defender of the England national team. Why can't he be a main player in Tottenham Hotspur?

You know, this guy's playing style is very similar to Terry's, and he can be a perfect match with Vertonghen!

"Gary Cahill's offer is 20 million pounds!" Peter Kenyon said with a sly grin.

What, 20 million pounds is too expensive and no one wants to buy it?

Didn't you see Chelsea are talking to Southampton?

The offer made by the Blues is 20 million pounds!

We are all London teams and brothers in the Premier League. We can't give Chelsea 20 million pounds and give it to Tottenham Hotspur at a cheaper price, right?

"As for organizing the midfield, didn't the media reveal that Villas-Boas picked Moutinho?"

Yang Huan nodded. This Portuguese midfielder was a favorite of Villas-Boas when he was at Porto. Last summer, he strongly advocated that Tottenham Hotspur bring him, but he was snatched away by Atletico Madrid.

Now, Moutinho has performed well in La Liga this season and is very eye-catching, so his value has naturally doubled.

"In my opinion, if we want to poach Moutinho now, we need at least 40 million pounds!"

As he spoke, Peter Kenyon's expression seemed to be saying, I'm just here to watch the fun and not afraid of trouble!

Now, the two players are worth 60 million pounds!

My goodness, if we introduce players in other positions, it will definitely cost nearly 100 million pounds.

By that time, wouldn't it mean nearly half of Tottenham Hotspur's shares?

Yang Huan couldn't help but take another deep look at the old bald man in front of him. Compared with the young bald man Daniel Levy, the old one is still the wisest!

"But, there is a problem, Master Huan!"

"What's the problem?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

"Lewis has been trying to sell Tottenham Hotspur at a high price and then sell it quickly to cash out, so he has been reluctant to make additional investments in recent years. Now he has come up with the Northumberland Plan, which is clearly a hype to attract potential investors."

Yang Huan was not surprised by this.

This is what a private equity fund does!

Without money to be made, who the hell would have the time to buy a Premier League team?

"On the contrary, Daniel Levy feels that there is a lot of room for development in football, so there must be differences between the two. It is probably because of this that Daniel Levy wants to introduce a third-party investor to share Lewis' voice in Tottenham Hotspur."

Yang Huan nodded. He could also think of this.

"On paper, it's a very good time to invest in Tottenham Hotspur. If things go well, there's a good chance they'll make it to the top four. But the key is Lewis. If he wants to sell players to cash in once the team performs well, it'll be very difficult to deal with!"

This is indeed a trouble!

Yang Huan's current investment in Tottenham Hotspur is considered as a capital increase. The ENIC consortium may give him a position on the board of directors, but will certainly not give him the power to excessively intervene in the team's operations.

By that time, the team performed well and Lewis decided to sell the players. Could Yang Huan stop him?

"Lewis is too smart. He has no interest in football and has never thought about running a team for a long time. He just wants to cash out, make a fortune, and then leave!"

Peter Kenyon has been in the Premier League for more than a decade and is very familiar with every Premier League boss.

"So now, are there any buyers interested in Tottenham Hotspur?" Yang Huan asked.

Peter Kenyon shook his head. “There were rumors about a Middle Eastern consortium before, but there has been no news since then!”

After a pause, the bald man sighed and said, "The whole world is in an economic crisis now. Who can come up with so much money to buy a Premier League team?"

Yang Huan also thought this was true.

But now is a great time and conditions to invest in Tottenham Hotspur.

More importantly, this kind of investment can completely tie Tottenham Hotspur to the Southampton chariot, and even turn it into Southampton's follower.

Let me ask you, who would be willing to give up such a benefit?

But if the investment goes in and Lewis gets a bargain, wouldn’t Yang Huan become a laughing stock of everyone?

"Peter, let you negotiate this matter. You must ensure our interests no matter what. If we can't come to an agreement, we might as well not invest!" Yang Huan made a judgment after weighing the pros and cons.

No one can monopolize all the benefits, it’s just a matter of making choices!

"Okay, I know what to do!" the bald man nodded.
