I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 19 Alan Shearer's Successor
"I'm so sorry about this, Yang."

When Chris Hunter came to Yang Cheng's office, he apologized guiltily before he could say a few words.

Yang Cheng guessed the purpose of his visit.

But the apology was somewhat unexpected.

This proves that Chris Hunter does not agree with the company's decision.

"Chris, you have seen that our team is thriving during this period. We are now at the top of the English League Two standings, 7 points ahead of the second place."

Yang Cheng looked at Chris Hunter with confidence and spoke word by word.

"I am very confident now and can even guarantee that we will be able to reach the Championship next year this season."

"You don't need to worry about our ability to repay, do you?"

Chris Hunter nodded shamefully.

In his mind, although Yang Cheng's business was not the bankruptcy reorganization he was responsible for, it was also brought over by him.

Moreover, he has been the one following for the past few months.

He witnessed with his own eyes how Yang Cheng managed this small club that was on the verge of bankruptcy step by step to become the current top club in English Football League Two.

Now, the company's decision will complicate the matter.

Even becoming unpredictable.

There is no stadium, no training ground, and if it is not handled properly, the English Football Association can ban the Chinese from Bayswater.

"Yang, I have to tell you that the company has made a decision on this matter."

Chris Hunter took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said solemnly.

He came this time to announce the decision on behalf of the company.

"Chelsea approached us through Cash Harris and proposed to buy the land for a high price of £1500 million."

"Eight million pounds?"

Yang Cheng was annoyed, but his whole body sneered.

"A few months ago they offered £500 million."

Chris Hunter pretended not to hear the sarcasm, disdain and ridicule in Yang Cheng's words.

"Yang, accepting it and getting the money will be a very good choice for you."

Yang Cheng was silent.

Elvino is all about money.

The price of 1500 million pounds is indeed very tempting, and they can take away 20 million pounds with just 300% of the share.

Not to mention, once the deal is completed, Chelsea doesn’t know how much commission they will give them.

This is really a sky-high price for a small asset company like Elvino.

What about the Chinese in Bayswater?
The club's situation will be greatly improved after receiving £1200 million.

Stadiums and training grounds can all be rented outside.

In this part of the UK, the thing that is most in short supply is football fields.

Some teams from lower leagues even train directly in the park.

"Yang, I'm in bankruptcy reorganization. I've thought about it for you. After you get this money and pay off your debts, you can easily buy a large piece of land in the suburbs."

"I have a lot of bankrupt or nearly bankrupt football, rugby and even golf clubs on hand. They all have large areas of land that can be bought at the lowest price and converted into training grounds."

"As for your home stadium, you can rent one from Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United, Reading, Watford, Brentford, etc. Their stadiums are much better than your current one and the rent will not be expensive."

Yang Cheng had to admit that Chris Hunter's words were indeed based on the perspective of the Chinese in Bayswater.

This is the same as what Yang Jianguo and Lin Zhongqiu had originally envisioned.

By selling this land, the entire club will be revitalized.

By then, the Bayswater Chinese will continue to impact the Championship and even the Premier League in the new season.

As long as you keep going, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to buy a stadium.

But Yang Cheng...is unwilling to accept this!
"What if I refuse?" Yang Cheng looked at Chris Hunter and asked in a deep voice.

Chris Hunter was a little surprised, then frowned and wanted to persuade him again.

But before he could open his mouth, Yang Cheng reached out to stop him, "Just tell me, what are you going to do if I refuse?"

"Yang, we have a contract, and Chelsea's offer is really good..."

"If you think that we are friends, then stop trying to persuade me."

Chris Hunter looked at Yang Cheng deeply.

He didn't understand, why should he refuse?

From a business perspective, taking this step back will open up a new world.

But he felt from Yang Cheng that this guy was too stubborn!
"If you refuse, we will... require you to repay the £200 million in advance, plus interest for the past few months."

"Why? It's clearly stipulated in our contract that it's 2 years..."

"No, there is another clause in the fine print. If our company encounters difficulties in operation, we have the right to ask you to repay the loan in advance. Of course, you can refuse to pay the remaining interest."

Yang Cheng looked at Chris Hunter in silence.

If he had not been prepared and asked Lin Zhongqiu to find a professional to study the contract, he would have been caught off guard at this time.

But now, he is mentally prepared.

"Chris, your boss is really calculating." Yang Cheng said with a sneer.

Chris Hunter sighed, "Chelsea gave too much."

This is also true.

If Chelsea hadn't given so much, Elvino would definitely not have fallen out.

Although Yang Cheng was annoyed about this kind of thing, he did not get angry on the spot.

To put it bluntly, aren't all businessmen profit-driven?
"Yang, I can probably guess what you're thinking. Selling players might bring in some money, but you have to think carefully. If you sell your star player, can you still make it to the Championship next year?"

Chris Hunter is absolutely right.

No matter from which angle you look at it, we should first consider reaching the English Championship. This is the most beneficial to the long-term development of Bayswater Chinese.

Now, for this piece of land, they sold their star player and missed the great opportunity to impact the Championship. Is it worth it?
Not to mention Chris Hunter, even Lin Zhongqiu was worried.

……

Yang Cheng did not express his opinion on the spot, but just said that he would think about it.

After sending Chris Hunter away, he called Lin Zhongqiu and Brian Kidd over.

"I have decided that I will not accept Elvino's arrangement!"

When Yang Cheng said these powerful words, both Lin Zhongqiu and Brian Kidd were shocked.

The former has always been cautious, while the latter was somewhat surprised at Yang Cheng's courage.

In this situation, if you refuse the creditor's arrangement, you must find a way to find money to repay the debt.

"Do you want to sell players?" Brian Kidd asked.

Yang Cheng didn't answer, but his expression was obvious.

"Will it affect our grades?" Lin Zhongqiu was more concerned about the upgrade.

Since Yang Jianguo bought this team, they have been striving for English League One for so many years, and this year has the greatest hope.

He really doesn't want the team to be affected by debt.

"In fact, Chris Hunter didn't mention one thing. With the current configuration of our stadium, if we really make it to League One, we will probably have to find other teams to rent the stadium next year."

Lin Zhongqiu's words surprised Yang Cheng, "Why?"

Instead, Brian Kidd was the first to react.

"England League One is broadcast on television, but our stadium is not equipped for such broadcasting."

In other words, if you want to qualify for English Football League One, you either have to make extensive renovations to the stadium or rent a more mature stadium from someone else.

Yang Cheng was also helpless about this.

The mess left by my cheap dad is really rotten!

The problem that Lin Zhongqiu is worried about may be a problem for others, but not necessarily for Yang Cheng.

"From the perspective of how our entire tactical system is functioning, Brian, who do you think is difficult to replace at the moment?"

"Ribery and Martin Roland," Kidd replied.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded.

As a core that is difficult to replace, either the role is too important or there is no suitable candidate at present.

There is currently no suitable replacement for Martin Roland.

Modric is still too immature.

Ribery's tactical role was too great, his breakthrough on the left was too obvious.

"Mick McCarthy originally wanted to observe Steed, but after watching a game, he asked me about Ribery." Brian Kidd couldn't help laughing.

Lin Zhongqiu was very surprised, but Yang Cheng thought it was normal.

There was no broadcast in English League Two and very little media coverage, so apart from the fans who attended the game, no one knew what actually happened during the game.

Today's football data is very underdeveloped. Not to mention the English League Two, even the Premier League statistics are lacking.

Naturally, no one knows what Ribery did in a game.

But as soon as the professionals arrived, they could immediately see Ribery's extraordinaryness.

Modric is too young, his performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and not stable enough.

"You mean to say that our team's top scorer is the easiest to replace?"

Lin Zhongqiu looked at Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd in surprise, and asked, "But who else in our team can replace Steed? Lambert? Didn't he say that he hasn't adapted yet?"

Yang Cheng smiled but said nothing.

Brian Kidd did answer Lin Zhongqiu's question.

"Lambert can't replace Steed for now, but he can still be used. I guess what Yang meant is that he has found a center who can replace Steed."

Steed's job is to score goals.

Even from a center's perspective, his jumping ability is not very good.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng arranged special jumping training for him.

And it is not easy for others to find a center who can replace Steed.

But Yang Cheng just happened to know such a candidate.

He had only noticed this a while ago.

Playing for Cambridge United in the English League Three.

For the Chinese team of Bayswater, who are at the top of English League Two, it is not difficult to poach players and the price is cheap.

"Brian, I'll take care of the center selection. Please help me release some information through the media. At least let enough potential buyers know that the England U21 center will soon enter the transfer market."

In terms of media resources, Yang Cheng is currently not as good as Brian Kidd.

"I see. The point is..."

"Besides Sunderland, Newcastle's Alan Shearer is already 33."

Brian Kidd nodded. "Bobby Robson and Newcastle have been looking for Alan Shearer's successor."

"Blackburn sold Duff to Chelsea and David Dunn, making over £32 million without spending much on signings, and their two strikers, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke, are both years old and not as good as they used to be."

Brian Kidd couldn't help laughing, "Souness will definitely be interested in the young local center forward."

For now, Yang Cheng can only think of these two or three companies that have money and need.

And next, he will create the best tactical environment for Steed.

Let him score more goals.

Given the nature of the English media, Yang Cheng is really looking forward to it.

We don’t dare to think about his talent surpassing Everton’s Rooney.

But there's nothing wrong with creating a title for Alan Shearer's successor, right?
