After the matter of Tottenham's joining the G14 was settled, the meeting immediately started the next topic under the guidance of the rotating chairman David Dein, which was how Rummenigge proposed to punish those whose performance dropped significantly after joining the G14. club!
Originally, the main purpose of Rummenigge's meeting was to go through a process to absorb Tottenham into the G14 organization. Unexpectedly, the Aulas group took the initiative to jump out and cause a wave of death, and also caught up with the two unlucky guys Valencia and Leverkusen. Therefore, this issue will be put as a proposal by Bayern chairman for public discussion at this meeting!
Rummenigge has always been extremely unhappy with clubs like Valencia, believing that their existence has had a great negative impact on the reputation of G14. Now that he has finally waited for an opportunity to clean them out, Rummenigge must seize it!
After hearing David Dane's words, Soler, Carlmond and others suddenly turned pale. With their IQs, they would never have imagined that Rummenigge's proposal was aimed at several of their teams!
In fact, we can't blame Rummenigge for killing him regardless of his feelings. After all, the performance of these clubs after joining g14 is really unconvincing!
Valencia's situation is better. After a brief downturn in the 2002-03 season, they immediately won the La Liga and UEFA Cup double crown in the following 03-04 season. Therefore, although the Bat Legion's results this season are quite poor, But Soler can still find enough reasons to excuse himself and avoid Rummenigge's purge.
In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain are in a much more dangerous situation. The former went straight to the relegation zone in the first season after becoming an official member of g14. It was not until the last round of the league that they succeeded in avoiding relegation. Their poor performance almost brought g14 into disrepute; although the results of the pharmaceutical company in the following two seasons were It has recovered somewhat, but its near-collapse performance in the 2002-03 season left such a deep impression on people that it is difficult for them to regard it as a first-class team anymore!
As for Paris Saint-Germain, one of the founding members of G14, the performance of this capital team from good to bad year after year is really difficult for people to define it as a giant club (seventh in Ligue 1 in the 2000-01 season, Fourth in Ligue 1 in the 01-02 season, eleventh in the Ligue 1 in the 02-03 season, runner-up in the Ligue 1 in the 03-04 season, ninth in the Ligue 1 in the 04-05 season).
Similar situations to Leverkusen include Marseille in Ligue 1 and Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga. These clubs have also experienced a serious decline in performance in recent seasons and even missed the European competition. Therefore, they have become Rummenigge's key target this time!
"I think they should be deprived of their qualifications as official members of the g14!" David Gill, the first to speak, was astonishing. His first sentence scared Soler and the others. "In addition, I suggest that in the future, the g14 should establish A complete qualification review system will be established so that every club can cherish this hard-won status as a formal member of the G14! For example, if it fails to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive years, or fails to achieve more than the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup The team will be punished by being expelled from g14!"
"Is this punishment a bit too severe?" Florentino rubbed his chin with a somewhat hesitant expression, "Every team has to go through the transition from old to new, and their performance will inevitably decline during this period. . If we just expel them casually, it will not be a good thing for the reputation of g14. So I think it is better to relax this condition a little."
In fact, the reason why David Gill and Lafayette have such obvious differences in their views on this matter is mainly because this time it is likely to cause an extremely serious imbalance in the discourse power of the five major leagues within G14. You know, among the unlucky guys who may be kicked out of G14, not a single club is from England!
Although Liverpool has missed the Champions League for two consecutive years, their victory in the UEFA Cup this season has allowed the Red Army to gain a lot of impression points - no matter how seriously the influence of the UEFA Cup has declined after the expansion of the Champions League, no one will dare to underestimate the ability. The team that won the UEFA Cup!
Let’s not talk too far, let’s talk about Porto, the UEFA Cup winner in the 2002-03 season. Didn’t this Portuguese giant use the same core lineup to win the Big Ears Cup the next season after winning the UEFA Cup? Therefore, Liverpool, which has just won the UEFA Cup, is absolutely safe in this purge!
Therefore, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When the interests of both parties are inconsistent, no matter how close the relationship is, there will be differences in opinions or even conflicts!
In the end, George and Galliani jointly proposed a compromise solution that was agreed by most people present, that is, if a team misses the Champions League for two consecutive years and fails to enter the top 16 of the UEFA Cup, then They will be punished with probation and will only be deprived of their voting rights at the G14 meeting; and if the club that is placed on probation still fails to meet this standard in the next two years, its status as a formal member of G14 will be revoked!
In this way, under the eyes of Dreyfus, Carlmond and others full of joy and gratitude, four clubs including Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund, and Leverkusen escaped the fate of being expelled from G14 and retained their Become a formal member!
Lyon, who has been characterized as a mole by Rummenigge and others, is not so lucky. No, Dreyfus and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief when Galliani openly questioned the necessity of Lyon continuing to be a formal member of the G14 at the meeting: "There are some clubs who join the G14 just to satisfy their own interests." Selfishly, using the influence of g14 for their own benefit. For example, Lyon, I have not seen it make any positive contribution to our organization after becoming a member of g14!"
"I agree with manager Galliani. Lyon has won three French Ligue 1 titles in the past four years, but its performance in the Champions League is still not as good as Monaco in the same league. It shows that President Aulas has not built Lyon at all. The idea of becoming a giant club to lead the future development of football is just taking advantage of G14's signature power. We G14 don't need such a selfish club!" Seeing Galliani taking the lead, Rummenigge also said gave his opinion!
Seeing that Rummenigge and other big bosses made a clear statement, Dreyfus and others, who were lucky enough to escape, went to the trouble to show favor to the big bosses and supported Galliani's proposal to expel Lyon from G14. Olas didn't even think about rebutting or defending his decision. He slumped down on his chair in despair and pretended to be an ostrich - he knew that he, who was on the wrong team in this power struggle, would definitely be in trouble. Will become the target of attack by these big guys!

ps2: The national football team once again failed outside the World Cup... To be honest, Lippi has tried his best. After taking office, he has three wins, one draw and one loss in the five group matches. The national football team should not have better results than this in so many years... I can only It is said that it is too late for Silver Fox to take over the national football team, and the hole dug ahead is really too big...
