The 15/16 season ended with Manchester United’s reforms underway.
Leicester City, who took the Premier League by storm, won the title.
[Manchester City pour cold water on Manchester United’s league title bid.]
Manchester United, who finished second in the league, were held to a goalless draw with Manchester City in their last match, ultimately missing out on the Premier League title by one point.
[FIFA pays tribute to Leicester City’s title win: “A fairy tale that even the founder of Dini would admire.”]
[‘Miracle of a small club’ Leicester City confirms Premier League title!]
└ Wow. Even small clubs like Leicester City can win, but Tottenham… .
└ Shut up
└ Chicken chi?
└ The Tottenham emblem is a chicken.
└ When was the last time Tottenham won the league?
└ Isn’t it the case since the launch of the Premier League?
└ At this point, shouldn’t Leicester be included in the Big 6 instead of Tottenham?
└ Seriously lol
Football fans around the world cheered Leicester City’s fairytale title win.
Even Manchester United fans, who missed out on the title by just one point, applauded and praised their victory.
As a player, it was disappointing to miss out on winning the league title, but as an owner, it wasn’t a bad thing.
After Leicester City’s title win, there was greater outside interest in the Premier League and the league itself felt like a bigger piece of the pie.
Leicester City’s win made the idea that a Premier League champion can lose to a relegated team seem less like a metaphor and more like a reality.
What fun would it be if the winning team always won and the champion team always won?
All the teams competed fiercely for the championship, and sometimes even the lower-ranked teams made a splash, which was a way to increase the overall size of the league.
[Leicester City win sparks wild celebrations]
Anyway, the atmosphere was festive as Leicester City won their first title in club history.
But the ending of the fairy tale had to be cruel.
When people’s eyes were caught up in the beautiful fairy tale created by Leicester City.
[Manchester City show interest in Riyad Mahrez.]
[N’Golo Kante heading to Chelsea?]

Of course, not all players left.
[Jamie Vardy, keeping loyalty to the team despite offers from numerous big clubs. “Becoming a star has not changed my life. I just need to make enough money to live off of playing football.”]
Jamie Vardy, who played a pivotal role in Leicester City’s fairytale title win, has declared his intention to remain in the Premier League in order to protect his struggling team and resist the temptations of bigger clubs.

The Premier League season ended with Leicester City winning the title, ending all of Manchester United’s games in the 2015/16 season.
Manchester United finished second in the league and were crowned trophyless.
There was growing public opinion among Manchester United fans calling for Carlo Ancelotti to be sacked, but I had no intention of sacking Carlo Ancelotti.
Because of this, the support from Manchester United fans has fallen slightly.
This happened because the situation was viewed differently from the outside and the inside of the team.
And that was the advantage of being the owner and a key player for the team.
Since I have been on both the inside and outside of the team, I was able to understand the current situation more objectively.
The players’ support for Carlo Ancelotti was unwavering.
And although they haven’t won the title this season, it’s not like United have had a bad season.
‘Second place in the league, Champions League semi-finals, and FA Cup are all a bit of a rip-off, but whatever…’
It was a very successful season considering it came just after Ferguson’s retirement.
‘Because the team was shaken in the middle due to the club takeover issue.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean I, as the club owner, just sat still.
– Hou: Jurgen!
– Jurgen: Oh. Jin-ho! No, should I call you the club owner now?
– Hou: Just treat me comfortably.
– Jurgen: So, why are you contacting me?
I approached Jurgen Klopp, who had declared a sabbatical and was taking a break.
– Hou: Can you take over as manager after Carlo’s contract ends?
– Jurgen: Hmm. Are you thinking of not renewing your contract with him?
– Hou: Carlo has been successful at Manchester United and it looks like he will be challenging for the Real Madrid manager position once again.
Jurgen Klopp has been promised the job as Manchester United manager after Carlo Ancelotti.
In the meantime, we are preparing for the future step by step.
With the start of the 2016 Euros just around the corner, players are starting to take short vacations one by one.
Even though the players were on vacation, I had to go to work at the club.
Because there was still a mountain of work that had to be taken care of.
I started talking to Ed Woodward and Jean-Claude Blanc to try to solve the club’s problems.
Ed Woodward was a guy who made a ton of money, but he didn’t know how to spend it.
On the other hand, CEO Jean-Claude Blanc was a man who spent money fantastically.
Because of the project he proposed, I was at the point where I had to consider naturalizing as a Spanish citizen.
But I couldn’t deny that the project he advocated still made my heart beat.

“Old Trafford is another Sangam… .”
is a joke.
Think of it as Real Madrid’s remodeled Santiago Bernabeu for the 2020s.
This is a stadium where soccer matches are mainly held, so wouldn’t it be putting the cart before the horse if the grass were damaged due to performances or something like that?
Anyway, the meeting started in earnest and the practitioner who caught Jean-Claude Blanc’s eye explained the Dream Theater project.
“The estimated cost for the first option is £50 million.”
I looked at the PPT with a trembling expression.
The projected view on the screen was just a slightly expanded version of the current Old Trafford.
As Jean-Claude Blanc noted, there was no romance that made one’s heart flutter.
The only advantage is the relatively low remodeling cost?
“This is an estimated estimate of approximately 150 million pounds… .”
The second expected scenario was the same.
It was better than the first one, but still nothing special.
When I was making a calm expression.
The practitioner displayed the expected scene on the screen without saying a word.
And the moment I saw the anticipated scenery, the name of the project just came to mind.
‘Theatre of Dreams.’
Old Trafford on screen looked like something out of a Denny film.
The moment I laid eyes on the anticipated view from New Trafford, I fell in love.
– 100,000 seat expansion.
– Retractable roof
– Renovation of existing facilities such as offline stores, galleries, and hotels.
– Establishment of entertainment space for e-sports and cultural life.
– Expansion of the club museum.
– 360 degree giant screen installation.
.
.
.
It was written specifically what had changed below the expected scenery, but it didn’t catch my eye.
Although it was expected to cost 400 million pounds (about 700 billion won).
If I could put a landmark on the real estate I own, I would be willing to make that kind of investment.
‘It’s not even my debt!’
So the New Trafford plans were confirmed.
HOK, which designed and built the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United FC, has been chosen as the construction company to remodel Old Trafford.

For reference, there were two options for the Dream Theater construction project: building a new stadium or remodeling the existing stadium.
We have decided to remodel Old Trafford.
Because it was a stadium with a great history, having opened in 1910 and been used as Manchester United’s stadium for 105 years.
And above all, the amount invested in construction costs was different.
Because the expected cost of building a new stadium was twice that of remodeling.
When a larger amount of money than expected was invested, Jean-Claude Blanc, who proposed the Dream Theater project with Ed Woodward, said that they should proceed step by step, but I, on the contrary, insisted that the construction be expedited.
‘If you do it later, the construction cost will triple!’
In the case of Real Madrid, the construction schedule was delayed, and then the coronavirus and the Russia-Ukrainian war broke out, so didn’t they spend twice as much as the expected cost?
Because we knew that the price of raw materials would skyrocket in the future, we had to complete it quickly.
We planned to start construction next year, 2017, and complete the remodeling by 2019.
While Jean-Claude Blanc was running around trying to get permission from the British government.
Plans to remodel Old Trafford have been revealed to the public.
[Manchester United fans concerned about ticket price hike due to home stadium remodel…]
Shareholders and fans have expressed concerns about higher costs than originally planned.
You might wonder why shareholders should worry about ticket prices, but most of Manchester United’s shareholders are true fans of the club.
[CEO Jean-Claude Blanc: “The remodel is expected to generate an additional £50 million in annual revenue.”]
[Club owner Son Jin-ho sets out to persuade fans and shareholders. “We may or may not raise ticket prices, but New Trafford is definitely cool.”]
Anyway, at the same time as the massive stadium remodelling project got underway, I started talking to the board about revamping Manchester United’s wage structure.
Unlike other Premier League teams that have a systematic wage table, Manchester United did not use a human metric called Alex Ferguson.
Now that the striker has retired, Manchester United need a new wage system.
We later chose the performance-based salary system of big clubs such as Manchester City.
Naturally, players expressed their dissatisfaction when their fixed wages were reduced.
The negotiations went smoothly as I had a good understanding of the players’ personalities thanks to having trained and spent time with them for the past two years.
“This is the club owner’s tyranny. I want my rights to be rightful.”
“Shocked?”
“If the owner cuts my salary, it means he doesn’t respect me.”
“Ah. Chris. You were worried that you wouldn’t win the Ballon d’Or this time. Well, that’s only natural. You’re a ‘one-time’ Ballon d’Or winner.”
“SIUUUUUUUUUU─!”
I gently stimulated their inner competitive spirit, and the players easily came over.
