Chapter 1160 - One willing to fight, one willing to suffer
In the middle of the night, Aldridge’s house.
He had just returned to his home in London and was sitting in the living room at the moment listening to Carter talking about the riots in Newcastle.
Yiwen came down from the upstairs and came to the back of the sofa, his hands pressed gently on Aldridge’s shoulders.
She knew that after Puskas entered the intensive care unit, Aldridge was in a bad mood, and she was also a little sad, but she still had to make a smile in front of the children. Derich was in a worse mood.
Aldridge seemed to recover from the confused state, raised his head and asked softly, “The children are asleep?”
Yi Wen whispered softly.
Aldridge turned his head to look at Carter again and said lightly: “It is our fans who take the initiative to pick things up?”
Carter nodded helplessly, saying: “Although most of the arrested fans were West Ham fans, it was indeed our fans who provoked the disaster, and there are a few more famous characters, such as ours. Friends, Brady, oh, unfortunately, among the very few Millwall fans who were arrested, there was also one of our friends, Sol.”
Aldridge froze.
But he froze for two seconds, then burst out laughing, stroked his forehead, and laughed loudly.
“Hahaha, Sol, he might be blessed, and he didn’t run fast enough, hahaha, he’s going to be out of luck now, and he won’t be able to escape from the ban for life. As a photojournalist, he can’t gather materials at close range. It’s worse than killing him!”
Carter was stunned. Wasn’t it ironic that Aldridge was laughing now?
It doesn’t look like it, it looks very hearty.
Yiwen was a little worried, whether Odric was under too much pressure recently.
“How can you still laugh? What now?”
Carter asked puzzled.
Aldridge stopped his laughter and immediately sighed helplessly, smiling: “What else can I do? Official business chanting. The arrested fans are the police, what kind of fines will the FA have to issue, we don’t Appeal, just accept it all. Oh, if one day Millwall fans don’t make trouble, then Millwall club must be out of the local community and become the real Millwall belonging to the world, but, it seems that Not very realistic. After all, London is not Manchester, not Liverpool. There are too many teams in London. Fans face a strong confrontation. The division of fans is also regional. The local fans of Millwall have a centuries-old heritage. It is possible to get rid of the genes passed down from the past. In this way, it is not bad. In the bones, the mad lion should be full of confrontation and struggle temperament, even if it is provocative, it is not bad.”
Things always need to be analyzed concretely.
Combined with today’s game, there was such a riot after the game. Aldridge was not surprised when he heard the news.
If he goes back to trace the deep-seated factors, he is more able to accept reality.
After two pre-East Londonde matches this season, West Ham fans actively provoked Millwall fans, but Millwall fans deliberately avoided them, without causing major riots, and occasionally passers-by alone in a fight or confrontation , That belongs to pediatrics, can be ignored.
Aldridge is not a psychic beautician. In the past ten years, he has suppressed and regulated the behavior of fans. It is impossible to teach fans to “reinvent themselves” and after being provoked and evaded by West Ham United, West Ham United Fans will naturally ridicule Millwall fans to become weak, which has been suppressed to the extreme, and it will eventually explode. Under the stimulation of a catalyst, the riots today can be said to be accidental, but it has its inevitability.
The next day, the Fleet turned the streets instead of Millwall 4-0 victory over West Ham to advance to the FA Cup final, is expected to hit the Triple Crown again this season!
It’s “East London football hooligans scourge Newcastle!”
Almost all media will report such breaking news for the first time, and absolutely no media will miss such big news. Even if it is following the trend, there must be countless readers paying for it.
West Ham United officials first accused Millwall fans of the despicable behavior!
However, most of the detained fans were fans of West Ham United, which prevented them from thoroughly clearing the suspicions and throwing all their responsibilities to Millwall.
After Carter left in the early morning, he communicated privately with the FA.
In this public relations and dealing with the bureaucracy, Millwall’s public relations work is well done.
In the early morning, Millwall informed the FA that the club would fully cooperate with the FA without complaints!
In the end, the FA is also a “three no matter” zone in British society. A private organization with real power lacks effective supervision, and the FA and similar organizations around the world. If the Football Association, UEFA and FIFA are the same, they are all themselves. This organization has forged an unbreakable bastion and refused the infiltration of outsiders, especially the reluctance of the government to intervene in their management!
Therefore, when the fan riots broke out, in order to prevent the granting of people to handle, let the British government use the problem to try to find the trouble of the FA, the FA must kill the chickens and monkeys, and severely punish the anger!
Since Millwall is willing to cooperate, it is easier to handle. It is better than Millwall to argue with the FA for a long time. Procrastination can’t cut the mess quickly. The longer the delay, the greater the adverse impact of the incident!
Compared with the West Ham United’s shirking of responsibility for the first time, Millwall’s official club’s statement made it easier to gain approval from the outside world.
First, Millwall condemned the behavior of football hooligans, and secondly apologized to Newcastle City from the club’s standpoint, and was willing to count the losses afterwards and make some compensation.
The outside world knows that Aldridge has always hated football hooligans, and Millwall Club subsequently published a statistical list, blacklisting those fans caught by the police, forbidding them to enter the Lion King Stadium to watch Mill Wall’s game.
From this point of view, Millwall is “dare to be a dare”, but the position is very clear.
Fans represent a part of the club’s image, which is unbreakable, even if the positions are opposite, in the eyes of outsiders, the black sheep are also part of this club.
So Millwall will apologize and make compensation, but just say two things casually.
And Millwall does not appease the behavior of fans, but also consistent with their usual style.
But in fact, this statement was a time difference between Millwall and a little trick.
Fans arrested by the police will inevitably be punished with an additional lifetime ban.
Regardless of whether Millwall prohibits them from entering the Lion King Stadium, they will lose at least the qualification to enter England. As for whether they will be banned when going abroad, it depends on whether the FA will take this “Football rogue list” is issued to other countries. In serious cases, during the competition, these fans may be prevented from entering other countries, because they are labeled as football hooligans, which may bring security risks to the host country.
The FA’s penalty came down quickly. On the afternoon of the next day, the FA issued the heaviest ticket in history!
Millwall and West Ham United in the next two Premier League games, such as fighting at home, the stands are closed by half, if playing on the road, the fans of the visiting team are not open!
Millwall was fined £500,000 for poor management!
West Ham United paid a fine of 250,000 pounds for the same reason!
After the ticket was issued, British society generally applauded, precisely because it was too heavy! Only the civilians who hate football hooligans feel very popular, and the FA also promised to pay 70% of the fines collected to compensate Newcastle’s losses, and the other 30% is used to strengthen the supervision of the development of football hooligans… …
Looking at £500,000 alone might not be too heavy.
But taking into account the Lion King Stadium’s more than 60,000 capacity, splitting half of the ticket revenue, and the operating income of incidental match days, Millwall suffered direct economic losses of more than 1.5 million pounds!
As Aldridge told Carter, Millwall accepted everything!
If you do something wrong, you must admit punishment!
Even if the fans did it, but the impact is too bad, the club can’t stay out of it, this responsibility must be carried on!
Millwall took the initiative to pay the fine and began to take action to get rid of it. On the contrary, West Ham United started to protest with the FA. It was roughly the same rhetoric that pushed all the responsibilities to Millwall to defend himself. The FA is impatient and does not give West Ham United the chance to appeal. Either, you give money to settle this matter, or, let’s turn our heads and see if the Hammer Gang can be mixed in the future!
West Ham United is not rich, and their loss may only be around £7,800,000, but for them, it really hurts!
The outside world saw that the FA punished Millwall so badly, and Millwall obediently said nothing. It seems that the Football Club has also picked up Millwall by playing.
On this evening, Chelsea and Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final played out as scheduled. Chelsea, who wants to distract the Champions League, is not as prepared as Liverpool. Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1.
The Blues Chelsea FA Cup is out at the finals!
Benitez will lead the Red Cup Liverpool and Aldridge’s Millwall led by the Reds who have already secured the qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.
Another day, UEFA probably did not know the situation on the side of the Premier League, thinking that Millwall was being suppressed by the FA and learned well, so he jumped out and fell down!
Half a year before the UEFA presidential election, the internal camp has begun to become clear. As an ally of FIFA President Blatter, Platini will become a powerful candidate for the next UEFA president. His camp Supporters began to bombard Millwall, playing on the subject, and on the grounds of the riots in Newcastle, warned Millwall not to bring the rogue football evil spirits into the Champions League!
