Chapter 121 Parting

"George, you really decided not to renew the contract." Kilby was in his office, and he had completely lost his usual demeanor.He stared at George closely, his tone much colder.

This is already the fifth day after the FA Cup final.In the past few days, whether it is the media or the fans, they have been looking for the parties.But the three main parties, including George, Kilby, and Kyle Varga, either turned off the phone or did not appear in the club at all.

The busiest thing these days is the reception staff of the club, receiving batch after batch of reporters and fans.Finally, George, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came to the club today, and Kilby was waiting for him in his office.

"Mr. Kilby, first of all, I apologize to you for what happened that day. I was too impulsive at the time." George knew that although he was angry that day, it was still a bit too much.After all, even if there is something, you can quarrel behind closed doors.But at the time of the quarrel at Wembley Stadium, there were so many reporters behind.

Although George didn't regret scolding Kilby and Keller at all, in retrospect he handled things a bit sloppily.

"George, needless to say what happened that day." Kilby shook his hand.In fact, Kilby was already quite angry in his heart. At that time, George almost said that Kilby and Keller were two idiots and pigs.And if there weren't so many people around, Kilby even thought George would have thrown his fist completely.

It was the first time that Kilby had been so insulted on such an occasion.This kind of insult made Kilby firmly remember it in his heart.

"Mr. Kilby, I have made a decision. I will leave the club after I pack my things." George has already decided that he will leave Burnley even if he is reluctant.It was cool to swear, but George knew that Kirby and Caleb Varga would hold grudges.

Now even if George wants to stay, he can't stay.And George is unwilling to continue working with Kilby, a chairman who has no lofty ambitions at all.He has only a little vision, a typical idea of ​​a rich man in the countryside.Without a little ambition, it is impossible for such a person to lead Burnley to glory.

"But before leaving, I would first like to thank Mr. Kilby for appointing me as the head coach of Burnley. I also thank him for his support in the past three years." No matter what the reason for Kilby's appointment of George as Burnley Head coach, George is very grateful for this.In addition, he gave George a transfer fee of more than 100 million pounds in the first year, and George is also very grateful.

Kilby knew that George was saying goodbye to him, and his expression was always bad.

"Finally, Mr. Kilby. The club has already sold Ballack. I hope you don't sell other players. Otherwise, relegation next year will be very difficult. And don't just sell people, but also buy a better midfielder. Matthew Holland and Neil Lennon have no problem being a defensive midfielder, but the core strength is not enough to be a midfielder." George knew that if he left, the team he built would definitely be dismembered by Kilby .But George really doesn't want Burnley to return to the First Division after a year in the Premier League.

"Staying in the Premier League is the only way to get more economic benefits for the club."

This was George's last advice to Kilby.Although leaving, after all, George's feelings for Burnley are not so easy to give up.So George doesn't want Kilby to mess up Burnley, a team he has worked so hard to perfect, in a short period of time.

After finishing speaking, neither of them said anything, and their current positions were all there.With a final nod, George left Kilby's office.

Just after leaving Kilby's office, he saw Caleb Varga in a hurry outside.George didn't have the slightest liking for this dogleg.So he didn't say hello at all, and just bypassed him.

"George..." Instead, it was Keller Varga who stopped George, with a half-smile on his face. "George, don't think you're defiant when you get a little result. Don't forget, you're just a coach."

George snorted, scowling. "Mr. Varga, I have never been arrogant. On the contrary, it is you, Xiaofu is safe, and this will be the case in this life." With a sneer, George left the club's office building.

George strolls through Turf Moor Stadium.Although the court is small, this is where George started.George had a lot of firsts at Turf Moore and a lot of fond memories.

But George is about to leave Burnley and is leaving Turf Moore.When I return to Turf Moor Stadium in the future, I will be Burnley's opponent.I don't know whether I will be greeted with applause or boos.

Walking and walking, George walked to Burnley's youth training base, although the first team has been disbanded.But it will take some time for the youth team to be disbanded. George looked at the young players who were training hard there, and remembered when he was in charge of the youth team.

"George, you're here." Wilkinson also heard the rumors about George, but his attitude remained the same.

George nodded, did not speak, but sat next to Wilkinson.Then watching the youth team's game, there are no outstanding players.But in terms of overall quality, the quality of George is very high when he was in the Burnley youth team.

If it were three years ago, several of Burnley's youth teams could be directly pulled to the first team as substitutes.

George watched their training with emotion, and found that all the young players were training hard, only one black boy stood by the court and watched them train.

"Wilkinson, what's the matter with that. You still make other children stand." George asked Wilkinson with a smile.

Wilkinson looked at George suspiciously, then followed George's line of sight to see the little players standing on the sidelines, and then shook his head. "That player is not from our youth team, but came to us for trial training."

"I was in the trial training. Why did I not perform well and was dismissed?" There are many such players, although Burnley is a small place.But because of the good results in the past few years, and the first team is full of young players.So many young players came here especially, and many came for trial training.

Wilkinson shook his head. "The strength is definitely this." Wilkinson held out a thumb.

"Well, then why..." Wilkinson was inferior to Carl Pater in terms of ability.But as a youth team coach for 30 years, he still has a good eye for people.And he also coached Daniel, and Ljungberg also played under him for two months.Since Wilkinson said that this young player is good, his strength shouldn't be too bad.

"This little guy has a lot of talk, a small apprenticeship contract, and a weekly salary of 110 pounds." Wilkinson sighed. "I thought the strength was good, so I reported it. I was sternly said by Kilby on the phone."

Even George laughed out loud, this kid's tone is indeed serious.Not to mention Burnley, even in the Premier League, unless you are a genius, there is no apprenticeship contract of 110 pounds. 110 pounds, that is the salary contract of some first-team players in the League Two.

This kind of contract cannot be signed casually, because it will make other young players also have high salaries.

No one in Burnley's first team earns more than £[-] a week.

"The boy is really crazy. But he is really capable, or..." If it is a talented player, let alone 110 pounds, even [-] pounds should be kept.

Wilkinson paused for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at the black boy again.

"George, it's hard for me to say. But this kid is in very good physical condition. He needs speed, body, and explosive power. It can be said that he has all the conditions for success. And his skills are not bad."

"What position is he playing?" George suddenly became interested in this black kid.

"Right back. The defense is fierce and the movement is quick. He is a good defender. But you also know that the club does not agree to give a defender 110 pounds." If it were in the past, this kind of thing was managed by George.

But now George has resigned, so Keller is in charge.He will not break the company's salary system for a young player.

"Right back?" George nodded.It is indeed good to be a right back, but according to Wilkinson, George thinks that such a player is better as a midfielder.Speed, explosive power, body, good defense, and quick movements are all the qualities of a defensive midfielder.As long as he knows how to choose positions, he can completely cultivate a defensive midfielder.

The current teams don't realize that in the 21st century, good midfielders are rare species.

"You sit down first, I'll go over and have a look." George wanted to chat with this black boy, although he didn't know which African country this black boy was from.But George is not worried about the language issue, because the official language of most African countries is either English or French.Neither language was a problem for George.

The black boy also noticed George coming, so he looked up at George.

Coming to Burnley for a trial, of course he knows George.So very surprised.

It's a pity that the black boy didn't know. When George saw him, he was more surprised than him.
