Chapter 375 Salary Issues

After staying there for another day, Li Yanqing boarded a plane back to Burton.

Actually, he wasn't that concerned about Kevin; the most important thing was to give away Old Phil's badge.

He didn't want to keep that thing on himself.

"Are you late? I've been waiting for you for half an hour, Lee!" Chris was already waiting in his car outside the airport.

"Yes, the weather hasn't been very good lately."

"Especially after entering the British Isles."

Li Yanqing looked at the sky with some concern; it was still overcast.

Actually, this should be the driest time of year in the world, but these past few days have been quite unusual.

"It'll only take a few days at most."

"Don't worry, our new stadium will have a roof."

"Then we won't be able to compete without being affected by extreme weather!"

Chris seemed to be in a great mood, getting incredibly excited whenever the new stadium was mentioned.

"Preparations have already begun recently."

"Robinson was directing remotely."

"You'd never guess just how rich our new sponsor is..."

The cost of building the stadium is an absolutely staggering astronomical figure, a fact that was established long ago.

To Li Yanqing's surprise, there were even sponsors willing to help them instead of letting them take out loans themselves.

"Of course, there are quite a few conditions."

"Robinson even promised to give them a portion of the shares."

"But the management rights are not in their hands..."

Chris seemed to want to reassure Li Yanqing, saying that there were no problems at the club.

However, such words are clearly only used to coax children.

Even if it's just a stake in the project, if the other party suddenly makes demands when the stadium is halfway through construction, the club seems to have no reason to refuse.

"Anyway, I really hate those bosses at Citibank."

"Most people will just throw away their promises like a fart because they don't understand what glory and dreams are!"

Li Yanqing's face clearly showed his disbelief.

Chris didn't argue with him this time, he just nodded.

"Yes, they'll fawn over you when your interests align, but if there's any conflict, they'll use every means to attack you."

"Everyone is like that."

"Are you sure we're talking about the same thing?" Li Yanqing frowned.

The more he listened, the more he felt that there was another meaning behind those words.

"Haha, forget about all that."

"I have some interesting news to share, would you like to hear it?"

"interesting?"

Yes, about one of the people you dislike the most.

"Woodward, he's been having a really tough time lately."

"Oh?" Li Yanqing suddenly raised his head; he was quite interested in this matter.

"Manchester United's performance has declined too quickly. Although he still enjoys the trust of the Glazer family, most of the fans are attacking him."

"In an effort to win back the fans, he promised to win the Europa League title this season, or he would resign."

"Furthermore, it seems there are plans to bring Cristiano back for next season..."

“Then he definitely won’t be able to stay here any longer.” Li Yanqing suddenly clapped his hands, and immediately became energetic.

"The championship belongs to us."

"We'll meet in the semi-finals after we play Roma."

"I don't think they'll win."

So, does that mean I actually have the chance to personally bring the other party down?

How wonderful!

"Don't get excited, Li!"

"I'm not done yet!"

Chris looked at Li Yanqing, who was already excited, and laughed.

"In fact, even if he wins the championship, he won't be far from taking over the reins."

"The booklet that Will wrote successfully reduced the other party's income significantly this season."

"For the club, this is the most direct loss."

"Someone actually did that?" This news surprised Li Yanqing.

He thought Will was just trying to sabotage Woodward, but he didn't expect the fans' emotions to completely erupt after Woodward's performance declined.

They treated that booklet as the secret to saving the club...

"Of course, don't you read their forums?"

"The argument that we shouldn't spend money on the club until its performance recovers is widespread."

"Many people are saying that they will only resume their spending once their grades improve or Woodward steps down."

"That's ruthless," Li Yanqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he kept emphasizing glory, it is undeniable that the club's foundation has always been money.

This is my lifeline...

“San Dezi has been there for a long time, and perhaps Glazer feels it’s time to move him somewhere else.”

"So he hasn't lost trust yet, but he's definitely going to step down."

"Right?"

“Yes! That’s exactly it!” Chris nodded vigorously; that was exactly what he meant.

"In addition, my friend at Manchester United told me that Woodward has been reorganizing the team recently."

"It seems there's no problem for him to prove his competitive level."

"You understand, the Europa League, this is his last chance."

"Don't worry, he can't possibly do it!" Li Yanqing waved his hand.

Who is Woodward?

He knows absolutely nothing about sports!

"Of course he can't do it."

"But what about Solskjaer? Although his level is limited, he has completely taken control of the Manchester United dressing room after Pogba lost his position."

"As for Woodward, all he has to do is increase the amount of the bonus."

Chris analyzed the situation logically and concluded that it wasn't a big problem.

However, Li Yanqing scoffed at his remarks.

"It's not that simple, Chris."

"Manchester United's problem is that many of their players are paid too much."

"Have you forgotten why their grades suddenly dropped before?"

"After the contract is renewed, some people lose their motivation."

"Anyway, we already have the money!"

"San Dezi has corrupted the atmosphere there; everyone only cares about money!"

"This is the consequence of his interference in the locker room."

"This group of players has no hope of winning any major championships."

"Uh, is it that serious?" Chris had never experienced a salary issue before, because given Burton's current situation, it was far too early to be considering this.

"Of course, that's a big problem."

It's not as simple as you think...
