coach legend

Chapter 172 Merchant
"Eight years, George, you cheated me. Don't bully me as a novice. I still know a lot of things in this industry. I have never heard of anyone signing an eight-year contract." Allen directly gave George His contract was thrown out.

"George, don't forget. He is a player for you and me. You can't cheat your own people."

George looked at Alan like this and laughed dumbly.This kid is really a businessman now, and he is still bargaining with himself.

"Alan, there is no room for negotiation in eight years. We can make some concessions on salary, but I absolutely cannot compromise on the number of years." George returned to Alan firmly.

Although he has shares in the brokerage company, George's goal has always been very clear.George's biggest goal from beginning to end is to be a coach, a truly successful coach.Just like world-class coaches like Capello and Ferguson.

Coaching is George's job, and George just wants to be a good coach.Under this premise, it is not impossible to earn some extra money.But once the two conflict, George must first think about the problem from his own coaching perspective.

Now George and Allen are talking about Michael Essien's contract extension.Before Essien was not old enough, he could only get an apprenticeship contract at Blackburn.But Essien is about to turn sixteen.He can sign an adult contract.

Unlike Essien's original history, after George threw Essien to the youth team, he had already changed him to the midfielder position.Rather than as in history, Essien first played the guard position.In the position of the defensive midfielder, Essien can be regarded as giving full play to his amazing physical fitness.

Although George's life in the first team was difficult, George did not forget to look at the Blackburn youth team.Therefore, I am very clear about Essien's development, and I am also very satisfied.

Now sixteen, George couldn't let Essien go.So the negotiations started early.

"George, eight years. Eight years, even a five-year contract is quite long. Eight years, how could I let my players sign an eight-year contract. Absolutely not, George, there is no room for negotiation."

Allen is not giving an inch now.As the number of players under Allen's banner increased, Allen also began to get tough.Although George and Allen are cousins, the brothers clearly settle accounts.Allen admires George's vision very much. I am afraid that this Essien will really be a cornucopia in the future.Allen must fight for the best contract for him.

In eight years, Essien will soon be sixteen years old.If the eight-year contract is fulfilled and it is 24 years old, it will be a bad time and all the good times will be lost.The eight-year contract completely tied Essien.Even if there is any conflict with the club in the future, the eight-year period will lock Essien firmly.If the club is angry, then the eight-year period is quite enough to destroy a player's contract.

Allen couldn't sign this kind of contract even if it was for his own benefit.

George shook his head, Alan, you boy's wings are stiff now.He even started to bargain with himself.However, George Essien's eight-year contract must be determined.

"Alan, our club signed an eight-year contract with Michael, not to say that this contract is fixed." George changed his tone and discussed with Alan with a smile. "Let me tell you the truth, I want an eight-year contract period to prevent Michael from leaving midway. It is impossible for Michael to play in the club for a period of time. Because of the labor certification problem, the club will rent it out. I Don't expect Michael to leave us at Blackburn in the middle of this."

George put it bluntly, just to keep Essien in Blackburn.The so-called eight-year period is for this.

"Alan, there is one thing I can assure you. In these eight years, we will not just have such a contract. With the growth of Essien's performance and value, in addition to the contract period, we can always pay in terms of salary. Adjustment."

Hearing George's words, Allen frowned.

Speaking of which, Essien performed very well in the youth team competition.Some clubs are already paying attention to Essien.If it is in other clubs, Allen can have both ways and find a club with the best conditions.

But Essien is a player of the Blackburn youth team, even for George's sake, Alan can't do the same.

Listening to George's tone now, George will never give in on the eight-year contract.

In fact, as a businessman, Allen understands George's concerns.If it is only signed for three or four years, Essien will only be 19 or 20 years old by then.In that case, it would be a big loss for Essien to perform well and be poached.

But when he thought of the eight-year deadline, Allen was dissatisfied.

"George, what do you think about Michael's future?"

"Alan, don't worry. I have a comprehensive plan for Michael's career. I will rent Michael to the Ligue 21 to practice. As long as he does well in the Ligue [-], he will enter the national team. If he meets the conditions of the labor certification, I will immediately Take him to Blackburn. I don't think it will take more than five years, and Michael will be [-]. You should now understand why I insisted on an eight-year contract."

Richard Flynn, who had been sitting beside him silently, saw George persevering for eight years, and thought of that ugly African kid in his mind.He is a very special child, of course, does not mean that Essien is strong.But this Essien is a very special existence in the Blackburn youth team. A kid who has not yet reached the age of 16 has a weekly salary of 150 pounds for an apprentice contract.

Not to mention in Blackburn, it is a very rare salary in the entire Premier League club.Now George is going to give Essien another eight-year contract, although he has the idea of ​​​​tying Essien to the club.But Richard discovered more about George's regard for Essien, and it was not ordinary.

George is famous for Bole in Burnley. Except for Klose, who is still criticized now, none of the players that George likes has been mistaken.When Blackburn's grades were not good, no one noticed.But when Blackburn's results came up recently, everyone found that several players introduced by George this season performed equally well.

George didn't have a bad eye for people just because he changed his environment.So Richard is more curious about Essien.The contract was produced by George and Richard together, and the terms were the first that Richard had seen since working at Blackburn.

How much strength does this Essien have that George can appreciate so much?
Allen fell silent when he heard George's words.After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

"George, that is you, otherwise I would never agree. Well, eight years will be eight years."

Allen found that George was determined, so he gave in. "Then you should make some concessions on salary."

"Alan, you still don't understand. Michael's 150 pounds is actually a very high salary. No one can give such a high salary except me. Alan, you are also in this industry now, so you can ask about it. A few players under 16 can earn £150 a week."

Seeing that Alan had given in, George smiled and talked to Alan.

Of course Allen knew that if it weren't for George, how could Essien not get a weekly salary of 150 pounds.But Allen curled his lips in his heart, it's not George's own money.After earning money, it's not like the two share it together.

"George, for eight years, I have given in to such harsh conditions. I think Essien's weekly salary is five hundred pounds, what do you think?"

"No, no, this is absolutely not possible." Before George could speak, Richard beside him shook his head.Five hundred pounds, this is even the salary of some of the team's main players in the League One.How old is Essien, a player who is still hanging out in the youth team, how dare he ask for five hundred pounds.

Even if David Dunn, who was promoted to the first team by George this season, still has a weekly salary of [-] pounds.Although negotiations for a new contract have already started, it is estimated that the salary will not change within this year.

"Richard, don't worry. Is Alan telling a joke? Isn't five hundred pounds a fantasy?" George patted Richard, then smiled.

Allen raised his eyebrows, and it was very funny that George and Richard were playing oboe.

"Okay, Alan. We are so familiar, let's get down to it. In this way, the weekly salary is three hundred pounds. This is already the highest price the club can offer, and you don't have to talk to us here. The annual salary increases by a percentage out of ten."

George looked at his watch. He had been inking with Alan for a long time for a small contract.If it weren't for George's soft spot for Essien, he would definitely not want him to live outside.Otherwise, how could it be possible to talk for such a long time for a 16-year-old kid.

Allen smiled when he saw that George had already said the last bargaining chip.

"Okay, George, you are refreshing, and I am refreshing too." Allen patted the table. "That's it, a weekly salary of three hundred pounds, and an eight-year contract."

Allen has already got everything he wants. Three hundred pounds is a very high salary for a 16-year-old player.Of course, the current salary cannot be compared with that of the 21st century.

George breathed a sigh of relief, Allen is really a fucking businessman.This kid is too unreliable, and now he can haggle over every detail with himself for an Essien.When people like Deco and Klose renew their contracts in the future, this kid must be even more preoccupied.

Why didn't I find out before, this kid has always been fooling around.And because I grew up with a golden key in my mouth, I don't have much concept of money.How long has he been like this.George's teeth itch with hatred.

…………

"Are you still angry? George, you haven't heard of what it means to be a brother who settles accounts clearly. It's good for you and me, don't you think so?" When Allen left, he was already satisfied.

"It should be clear." George nodded. "You kid, don't embezzle my shares in the company, and don't miss any dividends." George finally felt annoyed, and said to Allen viciously.

Hearing George's words, Alan laughed out loud.
