Super Spender

Chapter 381: 375: Too Generous

I have to say, this report from the Sun Newspaper is quite damaging. I am not sure what Arthur is thinking after seeing it, but everyone else is enjoying it. Chelsea, after being bought by Abraham, was reproached by countless other managers for the terrifying transfer fees they paid every year. But now… when compared to Finn Lewis, well, let’s not compare it. It’s because the media has calculated that Abraham had invested a total of 2 billion pounds into Chelsea over the nine years since he took over.

Arthur himself is roughly worth around 110 billion South Federation currency, although, this estimation is probably not quite accurate. Probably around 200 billion South Federation currency should be more accurate. However, even if you have 300 billion South Federation currency, that’s still less than 400 billion Federal coins. Finn Lewis’s net worth is three times this amount!

Some media outlets immediately went and interviewed a few head coaches. Except for Arsenal’s Wenger Taylor, who made a statement out of envy and jealousy saying that Simoní Howard probably wouldn’t need to worry about transfer fees in the future, everyone else refused to comment on this matter, just saying… player prices might get artificially inflated.

Will it be inflated? No one knows, but it is a certainty. In the past, when it was just Chelsea, damn, the prices of many players were driven up considerably. But now, another player has entered the game – Finn Lewis, and this time around, his status is even bigger, he’s the richest man in the world! How much money he has is unknown. Finally, it was Florentino, the middle-aged man from Real Madrid, who commented in an interview: “The soccer market is not a capital game, having money doesn’t necessarily mean you can buy all the right players.”

However, this statement was countered by the media interviewing Florentino, saying that Florentino is a little jealous. Who doesn’t know that Real Madrid has always only bought expensive players without considering whether they were the right fit? Back in the day, the entire team was constructed from superstars, who didn’t know that? There was a bunch of stars, but there was a lack of star fighting power. And now, the series of moves by Atletico Madrid… it doesn’t take much to guess… how strong Atletico Madrid’s finances are.

Honestly speaking, among Atletico Madrid’s fans, there were quite a few who had complaints about Finn Lewis. This is because Finn Lewis is a foreigner. To these fans, after being bought by a foreigner, the team isn’t the same team anymore. However, when Finn Lewis started making a series of policies without waiting for the fans to comment, especially after the exposure of these 28 bid documents by the media, the official website of Atletico Madrid exploded.

“Finn Lewis, I want to have your baby!”

“I kneel before you! Please accept my knees!” Don’t think that netizens from the Sperian Kingdom wouldn’t understand such cheeky words, there were many similar words.

Furthermore, when many media outlets interviewed the fans, these fans all said in front of the camera that they didn’t know what to say. Finn Lewis had already poured so much money into the team, even if they wanted to oppose, they didn’t know how to do so.

The media immediately reported these spot interviews, saying that Finn Lewis had initially received fan approval. At least, it seemed like Finn Lewis was the first middle-aged club owner in history to render fans speechless, unsure of how to comment on him after a short few days.

Needless to say, the report from this media outlet rendered all those who saw it speechless. Indeed, look at those interviewed fans, everyone was… left speechless. This is because these fans were at a loss on how to comment on this new club’s middle-aged boss.

Upon seeing this report, Finn Lewis couldn’t help but laugh. He simply released an announcement directly: “I saw your comments about me. Although you may not know how to comment on me now, I believe you will soon know how to. Even though the current transfer fees have not been completely spent, I have already invested a full 2 billion South Federation currency into the club’s account for the team’s transfer fees and related expenses. If there’s any leftover, it will be accumulative to the next year. Also, the club’s earnings last year were roughly 120 million South Federation currency. Since I just bought the team, I’ve made the following decision.”

“From next year, all the team’s tickets will be distributed for free. You can directly apply on the official website. Other than a portion of tickets left for visiting teams, all other tickets will be sent for free. Furthermore, the club had previously decided, after moving to the new La Panata Stadium, to demolish the original Carlton stadium and change it to Atletico Park. However, this decision will change; the Carlton Stadium will not be demolished but will be further maintained to be used as the team’s training ground and possibly for other external activities.”

“Besides, for the team’s away games, the club will purchase all tickets for the fans, then distribute them through official activities.”

Finn Lewis’s announcement can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves. The Madrid area was completely startled. Ticketing is one of the main sources of income for a team, but now Finn Lewis just made it free! This means more fans will be able to watch all the matches. Currently, the team’s main stadium can hold 71,000 people, which means almost all Atletico Madrid fans can almost watch their team’s matches.

It must be known that in the past, it was almost impossible for such a huge stadium to be fully occupied. But Finn Lewis’s policy made all fans cheer, which means they can watch every match of the team they support! Not only in their home stadium but also including the team’s matches in other stadiums! Even though there aren’t many tickets for away matches, they’re all free!

The announcement from Finn Lewis could be said to have left the other La Liga teams stunned. The managers and middle-aged men of these teams almost spurted a mouthful of old blood. Damn it! Can you not play like this? Can we still play happily in the future? Who plays like this? Damn, are you giving away free tickets? The thing is, one shouldn’t fear not knowing the goods, but should fear comparison, and if before everyone charged for tickets, then there would be no problems.

But hell, your tickets are now free, what are we supposed to do? Should we make ours free too? But you’re rich, you can afford to make them free, we’re not that rich, ticket sales are still a major income for the club! Damn! If you keep doing this, we can’t play happily anymore! The most important thing is, the fans don’t care about the specifics of the club.
