Pan Yi still knew something about Jason McGill when he was a fan in his previous life.

Mainly after watching the video of the FM anchor, and then after playing York City in the game, I gradually became curious about the owner and chairman of the team, and went to check his information.

Jason McGill can be said to be a die-hard York City fan.

In the early days when he was not a member of the club, he donated US dollars to the club when it was facing financial difficulties.

In 2003, after the Supporters Trust completed the takeover of the club, he joined York City as a director.

Later, his company invested a large sum of money in the club, and in exchange for a majority stake, he became the owner of York City in the 2008-2009 season.

It was under his leadership that York City was able to get rid of the fifth tier league and return to the English second league.

But the fourth level and the fifth level seem to be only one level apart, but in fact there is a big difference.

Because this is the dividing line between amateur and professional clubs!

The competition between teams has become more intense, and the club's operating costs have also risen sharply, which makes Jason McGill also feel the pressure.

In fact, in the real timeline, York City's outstanding performance in these two seasons is just a flash in the pan.

Without sufficient financial support, they will be at the bottom of English League Two next season and eventually return to the fifth tier.

And this is not over yet.

The next season, that is, the 2016-2017 season, York City was relegated again from the fifth-level National League and fell into the sixth-level North-South League.

Completed two consecutive drops in two years!

After that, they stayed in the North-South League for a few years, and it was not until the 2021-2022 season that they returned to the National League, which is the fifth level.

No matter how York rises and falls in these leagues, Jason McGill has always been the owner of the team and has never thought of selling it.

It’s definitely true love!

At this time, he came to Pan Yi. It was obvious that he had sensed the upcoming crisis in the future and wanted to find a strong support.

But why Pan Yi?

First of all, of course, it’s because he has money.

The valuation of a League Two team is basically a few million euros. Except for those who are extremely rich or extremely poor, the price is pretty much the same.

As the most valuable football coach in the world, Pan Yi spent one or two million to invest in individual stocks, or even buy them out directly, which is definitely not a big problem.

But there are many people in the world who can afford one or two million, so why is it still Pan Yi?

Mainly because he is the most awesome head coach in the world right now!

Of course Jason McGill would not expect that Pan Yi would personally come to York City to coach, but as long as Pan Yi can provide guidance as a shareholder or owner, the entire York City team will benefit a lot.

In addition, Pan Yi has always been famous for discovering and cultivating young talents. If he can help the team get some little monsters or even just rent some kids from Pan Yi's team who can't play football, York City will also

Just sent it.

Finally, and the most important point is that Jason McGill has been observing Pan Yi for a while, and he feels that this young coach of Long Country truly loves football.

Of course, Jason McGill has contacted some buyers before, but most of them just regard the club as a money-making tool.

Even if some owners don't want to make money directly from the club itself, they still want to use the club to expand the local influence of their products, and even obtain some regional protection policies.

I turned a corner and finally wanted to make money.

As a die-hard York City fan, Jason McGill naturally does not want the team to fall into the hands of such a person.

If this really happens, often after the value of the club is drained out in a few years, York City will be changed hands again, and then changed hands again, and in the end we don’t know what it will become.

Therefore, Jason McGill feels that if a professional coach like Pan Yi, who loves football, buys York City, he will treat the club like his own child and will not think about how to suck blood all day long

- Just as Jason McGill is doing to the club now.

Of course, there are many excellent head coaches who love football in this world, and Jason McGill cannot possibly contact them all.

Didn't it just happen that York City drew Chelsea in the League Cup? Taking advantage of Chelsea's visit here, he asked Pan Yi to have a chat.

"How? Mr. Pan Yi? What do you think of my proposal?" After Jason McGill told Pan Yi his thoughts, he looked at the young man in front of him with a smile:

"You can choose to buy it with full capital and then ask me, an old man, to continue to help you manage your daily affairs. You can also buy a part of the stock to become the major shareholder and become the owner of York City."

Although today is just the first time he meets the most expensive coach in the world, Jason McGill always feels a little friendly.

Perhaps, this is a mysterious connection between people who love football?

"This..." Pan Yi hesitated.

Of course Pan Yi had thought about buying a club and becoming his own boss.

Otherwise, why would he be hoarding so many Bitcoins?

Of course it’s better to be a boss than to be a worker all the time!

In this way, whether you are buying or selling players or hoarding monsters, you can make money by yourself. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?

But the timing seems a little wrong now, it's a little too early.

I haven’t really won enough honors at Chelsea to truly dominate the world!

Also, York City is only a League Two team. Is this starting point too low?

In addition, the overall level of the venue, training facilities, youth training facilities, including the staff of the club is relatively low.

It's a bit like joining a small club when playing FM games. If you want to become bigger and stronger, you need to start gradually updating and transforming all aspects.

Perhaps the biggest advantage is...it's cheap.

Let alone one or two million, even if it is five million or ten million, Pan Yi can afford it now.

But if it is a Premier League team, with a valuation of hundreds of millions or one billion, it is still relatively difficult for Pan Yi.

After all, the price of Bitcoin will not grow explosively until 2017, and then he will only be able to get a few hundred million euros.

Therefore, Pan Yi mostly wants to build a team in English League One or English Championship, and then slowly build it up. This will also give a sense of accomplishment!

But in short, Pan Yi has really not seriously thought about acquiring the club. He is still fully committed to Chelsea's schedule.

So when Jason McGill suddenly asked this question, Pan Yi was of course a little unable to come back.

"It won't delay your work." Jason McGill smiled again, "As long as you buy a share, you can be the boss. As long as you don't dislike that we are just a English second team..."

Jason McGill just wants to hug Pan Yi’s thigh tightly now!

In fact, his requirements are not high. As long as York City can maintain its status quo and stay in League Two.

After all, they have been playing in the fifth tier league for a long time, so being able to stay in the second tier is a big improvement!

"I think you are playing well. Look, you have beaten my Premier League team." Pan Yi pointed to the York City players and fans who were reveling in the venue.

Looking at these extremely excited people, Pan Yi even had the illusion that his loss today was still quite... worth it?

After all, if Chelsea wins a League Cup, neither the club nor the fans will think it is a big deal.

But if York City wins, it will be different.

It feels like winning the Champions League and the whole city is excited!

"Ahem, you and I both know that today's game... is quite unexpected." Jason McGill said a little embarrassed, "I know that our venue is too old, too old, and the drainage system has always been problematic. .But it is true that there has never been enough funds to renovate or even build a new stadium..."

He also knew in his heart that with today's venue conditions, even if the World All-Star Team, Messi and Ronaldo were present together, it wouldn't be easy!

It's completely a game of luck, and even a team like them that relies on their body to hit the top will have an advantage.

Chelsea already played very well. They still maintained patience and tenacity when falling behind in such a harsh environment, and finally equalized the score before the end.

"Let's leave our contact information and I'll think about it when I get back." Pan Yi smiled and said to Jason McGill, "You can't let me come here to play a game and then suddenly buy a piece of furniture. Is the club back?"

"I'm sure, of course I'm not asking you to make a decision on the spot." Jason McGill couldn't help but beam with joy when he saw the drama, "If you have an idea, you can contact me immediately and we will discuss specific matters!"

"Okay, that's it. Thank you for your love for me. Goodbye. I have to teach my little bastards a lesson!" Pan Yi rushed to Jason McGill and walked to the player tunnel.

He really needs time to think about it.

There’s no rush anyway.

At least York City won't be relegated until next season...

------------------

This fourth round of the League Cup against York City is the last game in October.

After the game, the Premier League officially awarded the best players in October.

Not surprisingly, Pan Yi once again won the title of Coach of the Month.

Although Southampton's head coach Ronald Koeman also performed very well, such as a masterpiece such as an 8-0 victory over Sunderland, he is still a little worse than Pan Yi.

In the Premier League match in October, Chelsea continued to maintain a complete victory record against strong teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United. This is his capital to win the award.

The value of winning against a strong team is naturally different from scoring points against a weak team!

Although some people use Chelsea's failure in the League Cup as an issue, the Premier League is the Premier League and the League Cup is the League Cup. These are two different things;

Secondly, as long as anyone has watched that League Cup game, they will know why Chelsea lost.

Even if the King of Heaven comes, I may not win!
