The interaction between Abu and George played a great role in energizing the atmosphere on the scene. So, during the following period, Ferguson and others tasted various carefully prepared delicacies and famous wines, while chatting about topics of interest in the house.

"Visson Nelson, what you told me at the banquet before, can you tell me the specific situation about someone trying to acquire Manchester United?" Over the years, Edwards has been trying to sell his Manchester United shares. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit idly by and watch Manier and McManus increase their holdings of Manchester United to 29.9%, a dangerous ratio that is only one line away from the tender offer, and he would not have almost sold Manchester United, which had just won the triple-winning champion at the time, to Murdoch.

However, due to the Gibraltar Rock incident that was born not long ago, Ferguson and Maniye became enemies. At the same time, the powerful influence of Sir Judgment in this incident made the latter begin to doubt the acquisition of Manchester United - with such a head coach with great prestige and a bad relationship with him, even if he successfully acquires Manchester United, it will be a question whether he can suppress Ferguson in the club. The most important thing is that Ferguson, who has already broken up with Maniye, will definitely do everything possible to prevent the Irish from further expanding his sphere of influence in Manchester United!

As Manier's acquisition was stagnant, Edwards had to turn to find a new buyer for Manchester United. Therefore, Edwards became interested in George's previous words, hoping to sell his Manchester United shares at a good price!

"No problem." Seeing Edwards was very interested in this matter, George naturally wanted it and agreed immediately. This was because Edwards and other Manchester United shareholders found a more suitable buyer, thus changing the fate of Manchester United being acquired by the Glazer family in his previous life. It was a plan that George had been carefully planned!

In George's view, even if Manchester United is bought by the Arab tycoons, it is much better than falling into the hands of the Glazer family like they did in their previous lives. At least, these Arab consortiums are willing to spend a lot of money to enhance the team's strength. What about the Glazer family? The reason why they acquired Manchester United at that time was just because they were attracted by Manchester United's profitability in European football, and they regarded it as a money tree, and had no intention of operating Manchester United well!

If the Glazer family had not thought of Manchester United as a money tree, then Manchester United in their previous life would not have made the decision to let Tevez and Ronaldo go one after another when they returned to the top of Europe in O8, nor would they have relied on Ferguson's prestige and a vote of veterans to force their lives, nor would they have even made few transfers that could be considered heavyweight before the Lord retired!

Therefore, in order to avoid Manchester United repeating the mistakes in their previous lives, George must take action to prevent these shareholders from selling their shares to the Glazer family!

However, there are not many consortiums that can satisfy this group of greedy Manchester United shareholders and have a strong interest in taking over the Red Devils. And those Arab consortiums that are rich and eager to gain greater influence and voice are naturally the best choice!

"By the way, Alex, I've bought the Gibraltar rock from Manier. You can go directly to my horse farm to take it away tomorrow morning." After strongly recommending and introducing several Arab consortiums to Edwards, George left the Manchester United president who was immersed in thinking and said to Ferguson, who was listening, "Of course, if you can trust me, it's okay to keep it here."

He bought the Gibraltar Rock and gave it to Ferguson to relieve the Lord's disgust towards Manier, thereby preventing Ferguson from causing trouble in the past life, which led to a trap for himself and Manchester United.

"George, your gift is really to my heart!" Seeing that George not only bought the Gibraltar Rock that he had never forgotten, but also gave it to him very generously, Ferguson couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately agreed, "If there is anything I need to help in the future, just come and tell the old man directly. As long as I can, I will do my best to help!"

In the UK, horse racing can be regarded as the second largest sports industry after football, and it is a sport that almost everyone in the upper class in the UK. The Lord is no exception. Not to mention, Gibraltar Rock is a treasure that Ferguson never forgets, and it is also a heart disease of the old man!

Therefore, although Gibraltar Rock is not a top-level horse, its loss and recovery still made the old man feel a little ill, and his favorability towards George has increased a lot. He was originally overwhelmed by Tottenham in the league standings last season, which made Ferguson feel a little afraid and grudge against George. George has made such a move now, and while getting an important promise from Ferguson, it has also narrowed the distance between the master and the apprentice again.

"Okay, let's talk about the gossip first. It's time to talk about the business." Seeing that the clock was already pointing to ten o'clock and the atmosphere was almost brewing. Edwards had been initially convinced by himself and received Ferguson's promise. George finally brought the topic to the right track. "Today I invite you all here. There is indeed a very important thing. I want to take this opportunity to discuss it with you."

"George, what kind of big thing is that we actually need to plan together?" Because of his master-disciple relationship with George, he just received a gift like Gibraltar Rock. Compared with others, Ferguson naturally had less scruples and more jokes when he spoke. "Is it because you were planning to overthrow the corrupt bureaucracy of the FA, so he came to us for help, right?"

"Uh, Alex, where are you thinking..." George couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard Ferguson's joke. "I hope from today on, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United can join forces to establish cooperative relationships in multiple areas such as business opening and player transfer!"

"In other words, our three clubs have established an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly develop overseas markets, and to launch a series of cooperation projects at home. For example, sharing of players' information, prohibiting malicious competition between them, etc.." The eyes swept over the people present, who were either in deep thought, shocked, or happy, and finally expressed his true intention, "This is my plan, I wonder what you think?"
