Team Spirit

Chapter 150 (Seeking Monthly Tickets) Legendary Joining, "Premier League's Best Center-Back" Multiplied by 2
Early the next morning.

Nine-year-old Sterling and his mother arrived at the Pond Convenience Store.

They were overjoyed.

After all, they invited them here, so they must want them, especially since Sterling is exceptionally talented.

The only uncertainty is whether Dartford is willing to offer Sterling a scholarship.

Pushing open the door to the convenience store, a 30-year-old man with a receding hairline came into view.

As he sipped his orange C Americano, he asked, "You're Sterling, right?"

He didn't even let Sterling and the others sit down first.

Before Sterling's mother could speak, the mischievous Sterling recognized the person in front of him: "It's you, you are..."

Ten Hag got excited, he was about to be recognized by the fans, hahaha.

"Ribery!" Sterling exclaimed excitedly. "I love watching you play! Your dribbling is amazing. Even though you're not as fast as Madeira, your ball control is incredible... I want to become a player as sharp as you!"

Ashley Young, who was wiping the table nearby, burst out laughing.

Ribery is only twenty years old, while Ten Hag is thirty-three.

This certainly means that Ribery looks old, but doesn't it also mean that Ten Hag's fame is even less than that of a substitute winger?

It's worth noting that Teng Hai was the starting defensive midfielder in the first half of the season.

Ten Hag, barely suppressing his anger, said, "Ribery has a scar on his face!"

Sterling was taken aback. He walked up to Ten Hach and looked at him, then said regretfully, "Oh, so those are just mana markings on your face. I was mistaken."

"It's such a pity I didn't get to see Ribery. I'll just have to find another opportunity later. He'll definitely come to the youth team, right? Many big teams have a tradition of first-team stars going to the youth team to inspire the players. I..."

Sterling has already begun to look forward to his green gun career.

However, Ten Hag shattered everything with one sentence: "Sorry, you don't have a chance!"

Sterling froze, stunned. "You mean..."

Ten Hach grinned wickedly and nodded, saying, "Yes, you can't join Dartford's youth academy. You're out!"

Sterling's eyes reddened, and he couldn't hold back his tears.

Sterling's mother was very surprised: "How could this be? Why? What's the reason? Rahim is so outstanding, he..."

Ten Hach shrugged indifferently and said, "Who knows? Maybe he's too short, maybe he's too dark-skinned, maybe his technique is too poor, maybe he's fast but not very smart... anything is possible."

"This is Dartford, a great team that won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup twice in a row. Every kid in London wants to be a Gunner, but we have high expectations."

"It's highly likely that he wasn't selected, so you don't need to be so surprised."

Whoa whoa whoa!
Sterling burst into tears.

Sterling's mother was also furious: "How could you say that? He's just a child! You..."

boom!
The loud noise attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Kai, standing at the other entrance of the convenience store, was "furious to the extreme."

He slammed the jasmine latte in his glass against the wall and charged at Ten Hagh: "How could you treat a child like this?"

"Regardless of his talent or lack thereof, we must respect his passion for football!"

"Football is a sport that brings joy. If it loses this quality, it loses its meaning!"

"I have repeatedly emphasized to you the core values ​​of Dartford football! Have you all forgotten them?"

Sterling gradually stopped crying; the word "happiness" had triggered something in his DNA.

At this moment, Lu Kai looked like an angel to him.

Lu Kai turned to look at Si Bao: "What's your name?"

Sterling: "Raheem Sterling."

Lu Kai: "From the first moment I saw you, I knew you would become a great star!"

"Datford's youth academy welcomes you, and you will receive a full scholarship!"

Happiness came too quickly, and Sterling and his mother even experienced an unreal, dreamlike feeling.

Ten Hach was about to explain something when Alfred rushed out and gave him a good scolding.

Under his mentor's "guidance," Ten Hah realized that he had been tricked by Lu Kai!
Lu Kai had wanted to sign the child for a long time, but he didn't want to sign it in an ordinary way.

Football is just a form; stories are what make people fall in love with everything.

Sterling will be a player with a story!
Has Lu Kai's opinion of him reached this level?

Admittedly, Dartford doesn't need any "Green Gun spirit" to package them at this stage, because they are still trying to survive.

But seven or eight years later, Green Gun, having had his fill of food and drink, started to indulge in lustful thoughts... In order to advance towards the elite, in addition to the number of championships, a "brand story" is also a key element.

In short, you can't be awesome if you don't brag.

This is also the most valuable legacy that the ancient Greek political system left to Europe and America—public speaking!
If you can give a good speech, you can even become the chief!

As expected, Lu Kai then called Jiang Mengyun over and said righteously, "Today's events should serve as a wake-up call for Dartford. We must always remember our original intentions in football."

"We cherish every child who loves football, we will always maintain a close connection with our fans, and we will never become one of those big, rich teams!"

"I hereby announce that Green Gun Tea Princess will permanently rename Jasmine Latte to Lashi Milk Tea!"

“Collect those broken cups and display them permanently in convenience stores for free. Let everyone know that we almost missed out on a genius, and let everyone know that Dartford will never miss out on any genius!”

In 2000, Barcelona's sporting director, Rexach, wrote down a signing agreement on a napkin, signing a young player named Lionel Messi.

In 2003, Dartford FC's Zhu Xilu Kai smashed a cup of milk tea in a convenience store, which led to the signing of Raheem Sterling, a kid whom "staff" deemed to have no talent.

Historically known as the Milk Tea Appointment!
This will undoubtedly be the most significant part of Sterling's biography.

This will undoubtedly give Sterling greater commercial value.

This further highlights Dartford's football spirit!
Once Sterling becomes a superstar, these shards of glass will be numbered and auctioned off in batches... Even more extreme, the shards could be polished and set into rings, creating a "Green Gun Ring," which would be given to every player who joins the Green Gun team to remember history and never repeat such a mistake.

The spirit of the Green Gun has been elevated!
This precious "Green Gun Ring" is also released in limited quantities to hardcore members every year, making it extremely difficult to obtain.

In the end, they even developed Lord of the Rings blind boxes, with a chance to open a "Stirling Lord of the Rings blind box" in a set of twenty or thirty blind boxes, which is far more valuable than LABUBU!

After all, you're ugly-cute, but can you be uglier than Sterling?

The most classic part is that the raw materials from this glass were used to create hundreds of millions of green gun magic rings, and it still hasn't run out.

Like "Wang Tao's autographed jersey" and "Xiao Mi's self-developed equipment", it made a huge contribution to the birth of perpetual motion machines!

Ten Hagh also left his mark on history, achieving unparalleled glory even as a major villain.

It's better than those of us who have left no trace in history.

……

Soon, the Dartford deal was finalized.

They acquired 17-year-old Vincent Kompany from the youth academy of Belgian powerhouse Anderlecht for £700,000.

Kompany is 1.9 meters tall and was born in 1986, making him one year younger than Lu Kai.

The future Premier League's top center-back, Guardiola's Manchester City captain, and a key member of the Belgian national team.

He will also serve as the head coach of Bayern Munich in the future.

This deal wasn't a bargain; Dartford's initial offer was £200,000, which Anderlecht promptly rejected.

Because they are preparing to promote Kompany to the first team and will focus on developing this outstanding center-back next season.

Teams don't trade away talented players casually.

For example, Simão, Quaresma, and Ronaldo, even if they are in their early stages, it is difficult to acquire them at a low price because the clubs have high expectations for them.

But when Dartford raised the offer to £700,000, Anderlecht couldn't sit still.

It costs close to 1.2 million euros. If they train him for another two years, it will be about the same price.

After all, developing players carries the risk of devaluation.

Now that they've taken this money, they've made a million euros off Kompany, which is perfectly acceptable.

The two parties then reached a deal.

FIFA imposes many restrictions on the international transfer of players under the age of 18, but because they are both in the European Union, they can be traded from the age of 16.

Kompany expressed great excitement about joining League One, even though the level of play in League One may not be as high as that of the Belgian First Division, but League One is more likely to be seen by the Premier League.

Especially for a rising team like Dartford.

This deal is one of the most significant in Dartford's transfer history.

People are calling Kompany "Little Serena"!
It is believed that he was hired by the Green Gunners to handle the air defense, but considering Kompany's age and lack of professional experience, people do not think that Kompany can take on the defensive responsibilities this season.

Let's talk about it again in at least two years.

Therefore, it is widely believed that Dartford will make another signing in this position.

And this time, the outside world's prediction was correct.

"The Voice of Green Guns: Dartford spends £1.3 million to sign Red Star Belgrade's key center-back Nemanja Vidic!"

The price of over two million euros is a rare high transfer fee in the history of Red Star Belgrade.

They didn't hesitate at all.

Vidic himself is also positive about the challenge from England.

This Eastern European giant has become another "new Williams" in the eyes of Green Gunners fans.

Moreover, compared to the inexperienced Kompany, Vidic's immediate impact is clearly stronger.

In fact, Vidic will also become one of the top center-backs in the Premier League in the future, forming a golden partnership with Ferdinand of Manchester United.

This player played for the Yugoslav Federation in the European Championship qualifiers last year and is a national team player.

In February of this year, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia dissolved, and Vidic immediately began playing for the Serbian and Montenegrin national teams.

Therefore, his work permit is not a problem.

He will continue to play for Serbia in the future, having played for three national teams during his career.

Only national team veteran Savo Milosevic can surpass his national team record, having played for four national teams and witnessed the complete disintegration of Yugoslavia.

Vidic and Kompany are the most talented and accomplished players Dartford have recruited so far in their defense.

During a previous meeting at Dartford, after Lu Kai sent Ashley Young and Ten Hag away, he was talking about these two deals.

This is a deal that must succeed.

If we acquire them and train them systematically, Dartford's defense can be guaranteed for ten years!

Lu Kai chose these two players because one was someone he could bring in and someone who could play.

Another is the ability to "suppress".

Kompany has no professional team experience yet, so Dartford can give him playing time on the sidelines. Although he may not be completely satisfied, he won't object too much.

Even he himself didn't know that he could have been a starter for Anderlecht in the new season.

Players who have never seen the ocean will naturally have no complaints about the pond.

Vidic plays in the European East, which is the region with the lowest level of football in Europe. Although he has been a starter for his team for two years, he would not be dissatisfied with being a rotation player in the English League One.

Just like how a regular starter from League Two comes to Dartford as a rotation player, it's only natural.

This also means that there is actually a real player who can contribute immediately ahead of them.

This player can be used as a scapegoat if Dartford achieves good results.

But this kind of immediate combat capability is expensive.

Lu Kai will continue this approach in both the midfield and attacking thirds.

Therefore, Dartford's transfer spending will not be low during this transfer window.

If it weren't for Abramovich's takeover of Chelsea, Lu Kai's idea would have been very difficult to realize.

However, there are some problems with this kind of signing, namely... Dartford's performance must follow the predetermined plan, and there cannot be any stagnation or even regression.

Otherwise, if they can keep it under control for a year, but in two years... the talented players on the team will explode.

If the locker room descends into chaos, players leave, and the team collapses instantly, the margin for error will be far lower than that of a normal team aiming for promotion.

"One day, just today, today is just one day, I will raise the sweet memories with you..." Lu Kai hummed a little tune as he went to the convenience store to get a cup of milk tea.

They were stunned when they arrived at the store.

A person who was completely covered up caught his attention.

He looks quite old.

George?

No, it wasn't George. George doesn't drink, but this guy reeks of alcohol.

The person inside the case: "Give me a cup of milk tea."

Jiang Mengyun: "We have many kinds of milk tea. Which one would you like?"

The person inside the case: "Whatever, it's fine."

Jiang Mengyun: "We don't accept just anything here, you have to choose one..."

Seeing that the person inside the case was getting a little anxious, Ashley Young, who was working a summer job, quickly came over and recommended: "Young's Dry Land is pretty good!"

The person inside the case: "Then let's do it, Lu!"

Jiang Mengyun: "Here we have medium, large, and extra-large sizes. What size would you like?"

The person inside the case pointed to the middle one and said, "I want a medium cup."

Jiang Mengyun: "Sorry, this is a large cup; the smallest one is a medium cup."

The person inside the case became impatient: "I don't care what you call it, I just want the medium cup from these three cups."

Jiang Mengyun: "Excuse me, sir, this is a large cup!"

The person inside the case was silent for a moment, then slapped himself repeatedly.

Ashley Young quickly hugged him, saying, "Teacher, please don't do this, please don't do this..."

For a moment, the scene became quite lively.

During the struggle, the man's outer garment was torn off.

Ashley Young was stunned: "You... Paul... Gaza! You're Gaza! Paul Gascoigne!!!"

That shout shook the entire Dartford.

Paul Gascoigne, you need a little buzz to play football!
Those who started watching football later might not know this name, but even in the era when Bellingham burst onto the scene, people would still lament that England only had one truly capable midfielder...

That one was Paul Gascoigne.

This isn't the first time I've felt this way.

Foden, Maddison, Lingard, Alli, Lallana, Wilshere, Joe Cole… any England forward who isn't being called the "new Gascoigne" only shows their limited talent and that they're a workhorse. Even Rooney, a striker, was considered the next Gascoigne because of his alcoholism.

Jack Grealish, whom Manchester City bought for £100 million, is called the "new Beckham" by fans outside England, but locals in England hope he will become the "new Gascoigne".

Zidane for France, Ronaldinho for Brazil, Maradona for Argentina, Baggio for Italy… Even Ballon d'Or winner Owen was considered by English fans to be “half Gascoigne”.

Unfortunately, England's most talented midfielder declined early on, becoming irritable, addicted to alcohol, and even indulging in all sorts of vices.

Just in the first half of this year, the place where he played was astonishing... Gansu Tianma team in the China League One B!

It's not even the Jia-A League!

He earned a salary of three million euros, played four games for Pedro V, and then used the excuse of the French Civil War to flee back to England. Pedro V subsequently filed numerous lawsuits against him.

In April, he went to the United States again to receive mental health treatment.

But now they've suddenly arrived in Dartford.

Lu Kai glanced at Gascoigne across from him and smiled without saying a word.

Gascoigne slurped up a coconut-flavored mango pomelo sago, crossed his legs on the table, and said arrogantly and nonchalantly, "You're lucky to have passed my test."

"I'm going to provide you with technical assistance. Your salaries will be the same as those of a regular Premier League starter, £20,000 a week, so as not to put too much pressure on you."

After Gascoigne finished speaking, the expected cheers did not materialize.

Instead, Lu Kai slowly said, "A month ago, Newcastle United officially stated that they could not allow you to return to your hometown."

"Tottenham then announced that they would be clearing out a large number of veteran players in order to return to the European competition zone, but the oldest player in their team is not even as old as you."

"Lazio are disappointed with the English players."

"Glasgow Rangers, Middlesbrough, Everton, Burnley... they have all denied the news of your transfer."

"Currently, the only team that has publicly expressed its welcome to you is Boston United in the English Second Division."

As Lu Kai named one club after another, Gascoigne's expression grew increasingly awkward.

Times have changed, and he is no longer as glorious as he once was.

The opportunity to make money in Gansu Tianma was an unexpected bonus for him, as the general public believed he lacked the ability to compete in the first or second division leagues.

His body was ruined by alcohol and women.

Aside from his technique, experience, footwork, and imagination, he has lost his ability to compete, his speed, his explosiveness, and his endurance.

He can play streetball exhibition matches, but he can't play real football matches.

"I...I..." Gascoigne said "I" six or seven times in a row before finally managing to organize his thoughts and said dejectedly, "I want to play football."

"Not to prove myself, I just suddenly realized that I really want to play football."

People always learn to cherish things only after they lose them.

The older people are, the more they want to prove their worth through work and show that they can still earn money.

Gascoigne is a case in point.

The trip to Tianma, Gansu was full of flaws and legal troubles, but it was only after going to the football desert that even the lowest level of football in China, which was so bad it was disgusting, could often attract 30,000, 50,000 or even 100,000 fans to watch the games, and have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people paying attention and discussing them.

What a pure spirit of football!
To be fair, Gascoigne was moved by the fans of the Chinese national football team.

If you can watch, follow, and support the Chinese national football team's matches year after year, then you are undoubtedly the greatest fan in the world.

If we disregard betting on the game, their passion is enough to overcome everything... except for Guo's opponents.

"Only now do I realize what I've squandered!" Gascoigne, whose emotions were greatly affected by alcoholism, was already in tears as he spoke.

Ashley Young seized the opportunity to serve him a bucket of mango pomelo sago, and Gascoigne stopped crying after drinking it: "Okay, I'm not pretending anymore."

"I hope you can accept me and let me spend the last part of my career here."

"I want to turn over a new leaf, I want to be a real player."

"They say this place is full of demons and monsters: the evil Patton, the violent Duff, the fallen Yang, the strongest force in England, the low-level transfer maniac, the clumsy Teng Hai, the goalkeeper who doesn't guard the goal..."

"But what I see is diversity and inclusion."

"If there's one team in the world that would let me play, it's Dartford."

"I don't want any salary, nor do I care about starting positions or playing time. I want to be a pure person who can help the team."

"If you absolutely have to give me a nickname, please call me—Chen Yi, the ordinary player…Gascoine."

Gascoigne was very sincere.

Ashley Young was moved to tears.

He slapped himself.

He came here chasing his dreams, and I took the opportunity to order him the most expensive milk tea just for a little commission. I'm not human!

Lu Kai nodded: "Are there any reasons other than football?"

Gascoigne's expression changed, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Aren't you guys making a documentary? I was thinking, could I get some screen time too?"

"I still have some influence, this is a powerful alliance."

This is right.

Gascoigne is preparing to transition from a football star to a variety show personality.

Dartford is a pioneer in this field, so coming here to "study abroad" is definitely the right choice.

That's why Gascoigne is considered a genius.

The Dartford documentary has been met with a lot of criticism, with the football world generally believing that it is "not pure," "affects the players' performance," and "clown-like behavior," but at the same time, they are envious of Dartford's popularity.

But truly smart people started joining Dartford long ago, learning the essence, and then going out to replicate the Dartford model and open branches.

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian have achieved some success on American variety shows.

“Also…” Gascoigne said, “I really like the script for your documentary and would like you to help me publish an autobiography. I’ve already thought of a title: ‘Gascoigne: My Story’.”

In fact, this book will win the 2005 British Best Sports Book of the Year award.

Making money is secondary to the partnership; the main goal is to further enrich Dartford's brand story.

Lu Kai approved Gascoigne's application to join the team, but added: "I think your autobiography should have some Dartford elements."

Gascoigne said, "Then let's call it 'Starting as a King of Football from Real Madrid,' pshaw... 'Becoming Gascoigne from Green Gun'? But I have one request... During my time with the team, can you provide as much milk tea as you want?"

Lu Kai extended his right hand: "Welcome to the team!"

Soon, the news shook the entire British Isles.

This is quite different from the likes of Alf and Ten Hag joining Dartford.

Gazza is the most influential figure in English football.

Dartford is the most prestigious club in English football.

The combination of the two led to peak traffic!

Sky Sports: "A fallen legend joins forces with a rising miracle: Gascoigne is reborn with Green Gunners!"

BBC: "Gazzar, the green fallen angel! The greatest redemption in the history of world football has been born!"

The Times: "Gazzar: Thank you Lu for giving me a second chance, and this time I want to play well!"

Manwan: "Lu Kai: We often talk about restarting life, but restarting is not about taking a leap of faith, but about facing the harsh reality. This is a more courageous decision than hiding behind alcohol!"

Les Echos: "Angel or devil, genius or madman? Gaza and Lu Kai are embarking on a great adventure!"

As for the fans, they couldn't be happier with Gazza's return to Dartford.

Even if there are various concerns about the competition, at least they will say congratulations.

This will generate even more buzz and more congratulations than if Cristiano Ronaldo were to transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.

After all, Gazza has long since faded into obscurity, and only a legendary star like him who poses no threat can win everyone's love.

Dartford is currently more popular with viewers than Manchester United will be in the future.

Bild: "Datford began their path to becoming a super club by taking in Gascoigne!"

Gazzetta dello Sport: "There is no warmer team in the world than Dartford! There is no club with a warmer heart than Lu Kai!"

France Football: "The hope for English football lies not in the Premier League, but in Dartford! Gascoigne can also pass on his talent to other players while playing, making the most of his remaining years!"

Basically, only one or two media outlets made disparaging remarks.

Diario Sport: "A 36-year-old man + a club that sells its star player = failure to gain promotion = no trophies = relegation for the season!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Foolish! While Barcelona continues to produce La Masia Gascoignes like Xavi, Iniesta, Motta, and Messi, England is trying to revive a 36-year-old!"

Looking at the dense news reports, Abu couldn't help but sigh.

Dartford achieved the same effect without spending a penny, something they couldn't achieve even with £15 million.

Of course, Abramovich has high standards for Chelsea's performance, so he can't follow the Dartford path.

Besides... he's so rich, he can just buy any top-tier player he wants.

Unlike Dartford, they don't need to ride the coattails of top stars' chemistry.

Everyone takes a different path; there's no need to envy others.

Abu instructed, "Does their team have any other good players? We could participate in the bidding, given their current popularity."

The assistant nodded, understanding his boss's meaning.

Although the paths are different, it doesn't prevent both sides from appreciating the scenery on the other's path.

This is a win-win situation for both parties, and Dartford would likely not refuse.

……

Gascoigne brought phenomenal attention to Dartford.

This also gave the players on the team more ideas.

Playing for a year with a player like Gascoigne might be more rewarding than playing alone for three to five years.

Learning from these superstar players, especially those known for their talent, can potentially transform your game!
However, only fans can stay focused on a particular trending topic for a long time.

Chelsea quickly captured the attention of all the major clubs.

Chelsea went on a spending spree in the transfer market.

They bought Juan Veron, the "White Wizard," for £15 million, a player Manchester United had never been able to use effectively.

They brought in Makelele, the world's best defensive midfielder, from Real Madrid for £16 million.

They brought in super winger Damien Duff from Blackburn for £17 million.

It's normal that Duff's transfer fee is higher than Madeiraben's; he's been a key player for Blackburn Rovers, a strong Premier League team, for several years.

But once Madeira got the first move, Chelsea fans immediately put him on the same level, even though he had never played in a top league.

Duff is two million pounds more expensive, partly because Blackburn and Chelsea are rivals.

Secondly, for England, Irish citizenship is more valuable than Portuguese citizenship.

With Duff on the left and Madeira on the right, this formidable wing duo is both strong and young. Chelsea fans believe these two players can dominate Chelsea's left and right flanks for a decade!

Clearly, these fans underestimated Abramovich.

With such top-notch wings, Abramovich could add two more for them next year!

Furthermore, Chelsea actively participated in player bids for Dartford.

Beckford, Shore, and Scott all got involved.

Dartford's goalkeeping coach, Scott Carson, was originally valued at less than one million, with Leeds United and Liverpool both showing interest in buying him. However, Chelsea managed to raise the price to over two million.

Liverpool finally gritted their teeth and spent three million pounds to sign Scott to bolster their goalkeeping position, hoping that Scott could gradually take over Dudek's role.

Kill two birds with one stone!
Scott left Dartford in tears.

His departure brought Dartford three players – Foster, Kompany, and Vidic – plus £80.

Who dares to believe it?

He is Dartford's third biggest contributor so far.

Madeira is definitely the first choice.

The second one is... Lianxiang Group.

Their floating naming rights last season became a classic example of failure in the industry.

The naming rights, which could have been easily acquired for £800,000, were modified by them to become... a base fee of £300,000 + £100,000 for winning the League Two title + £1 million for winning the EFL Cup + £1.1 million for winning the FA Cup + £1.6 million for reaching the Europa League quarterfinals!

A total of £4.1 million!

This amount of money alone exceeds 99% of the revenue of English football clubs.

In the Premier League, only Manchester United and Arsenal have stadium naming rights fees that can exceed this, but even those are only slightly higher.

It is said that this made Lianxiang hesitant to touch floating contracts for a long time.

Ding Dong!

Lu Kai rang the doorbell.

Joyce opened the door warmly; this was his new villa.

The FA executive committee members are making a fortune.

Lu Kai came to see him today because of a thorny issue.

Tax!
Dartford made a net profit of over £20 million in the last window, which would normally be subject to nearly 50% tax.

However, when Joyce got Dartford to buy the team he had helped build, he secured various policy support for Dartford, including two years of tax relief.

Dartford's final tax payment was a mere one or two million pounds, half the amount of Scott's, and not worth mentioning.

But the preferential policies will expire soon this year.

Therefore, Dartford's aggressive spending this year is also intended to offset the gains from the transfer window; otherwise, the more they earn, the more they lose.

But next year or the year after is, in Lu Kai’s plan, Dartford’s most profitable years in recent years.

There are huge sums of money involved... there are big investors, and the players are just coming of age.

Without tax cuts, we would have suffered a huge loss.

Fortunately, there has been news from Joyce's side.

On the one hand, Dartford had huge transfer revenue last season, but then built a new stadium and even incurred debt.

On the other hand, Green Gunners have also pledged to spend at least £10 million in the transfer window this season.

It's only right to take care of such "good students" who not only get good grades but also know how to cooperate with teachers.

"I've found a very obscure tax reduction policy here." Joyce beamed, clearly having already secured the necessary details. "There's a three-year tax reduction policy for people from developing countries who come to England to contribute to football development, and the reductions are substantial!"
