"Chairman Gibson, I am very happy to receive your call so quickly."
Because there are a lot of things to deal with in the Czech Republic. Although Lister’s company management currently does not require Lister to intervene one by one, the Czech Republic is Lister’s hometown after all. Lister considers the Czech Republic from both profit and emotional considerations.
, are all very concerned about.
As for List's players who play abroad, in addition to List's agent, there is no shortage of staff around him. List currently has his own studios in nine European countries. The branches in Spain and the Netherlands are the largest.
. So now even if Riester doesn't do it himself, they still don't lack people around them to help them handle things.
Therefore, Lister stayed in Prague for a month and a half. Nearly half of the time was focused on the current problems of the youth training base. Lister paid more attention to this youth training base than anything else, even more than some superstar players. Here Lister has a future
The money to invest is also the most. Because for List, this youth training base is the biggest capital for his long-term foothold in European football in the future. It can even be said that as long as List has such a youth training base, List will
It will not decline in European football.
If it weren't for the call he received from Steve Gibson, List would still want to continue to pay attention to the issue of the youth training base. List had even suggested that Merkley could communicate with the German side on the issue of youth training. But List
I clearly remember that ten years later, German football will be full of talents, all of which are the result of ten years of German youth training.
"Mr. Cherney, please sit down."
Gibson is still the same, speaking slowly and with a low voice. Gibson invited Lister to watch a cricket match today. Cricket is second only to football in England, and the fans here are also crazy.
I also know a little about cricket, but I'm not very familiar with it. I watch it occasionally, but I don't have much enthusiasm. Anyway, the two of them are not here to watch a cricket match today.
"Mr. Cherney, after you left, our club observed Coach Moyes and he is indeed outstanding. I intend to let him coach our Middlesbrough team next season."
Gibson is in a good mood recently. Venables is a big bastard. But his coaching ability is really good. He only coached for less than two months and played nine games. Unexpectedly, he led Middlesbrough to four wins, two draws and three losses.
Excellent results, scoring 14 points in nine rounds. In fact, Middlesbrough only scored 14 points in the previous half-season. Therefore, it now has 28 points and jumped out of the relegation circle.
came out.
There are still more than ten rounds left in the Premier League. As long as we get about ten points, relegation is certain. If Venables' reputation is not too bad, or his hands and feet are too dirty. Otherwise Gibson really wants to let Venables
Because of his coaching ability, Venables is definitely one of the best coaches in England.
But Gibson is also afraid. For example, Bryan Robson can be said to have bought a lot of parallel imports, but Gibson still trusts him. Because Bryan Robson is far more upright than Venables. His buying of parallel imports is a matter of ability.
.A problem of vision. Venables bought parallel imports because of money problems. When he was in Portsmouth, he bought a lot of Australian parallel imports in order to get kickbacks. In the end, after Portsmouth was about to go bankrupt, he
Just left Portsmouth.
If he just bought a lot of Australian parallel import players at Portsmouth, then after arriving at Crystal Palace, he really made all the Premier League presidents stay away. Because the then owner of Crystal Palace really obeyed Venables. But this guy turned the owner of Crystal Palace away
He was lied to the ground.
All kinds of weird transfers appeared in his hands. For example, the Israeli left-back Amusalem was only worth tens of thousands of pounds. Venables bought it for 850,000 pounds. Later, he was returned by Crystal Palace.
When he returned to Israel, he only had 25,000 pounds. Of course, this was not the most bizarre thing. The most bizarre transfer at Crystal Palace was Argentinian player Walter Del Rio.
At that time, Venables wanted to rent the player and spent 200,000 pounds. He also bought half of his ownership for more than 300,000 pounds. A total of more than 500,000 pounds was spent on Crystal Palace. He was from Boca at the time.
Players are not very expensive to say the least. Because at this time, the owner of Crystal Palace had already invested more than 6 million pounds in the transfer market after listening to Venables. He didn't care about spending an extra 500,000 pounds.
But the funny thing is that this is a perfect scam. This player was terminated by Boca long ago because he was not strong enough. In other words, this player was a free agent at the time, and he was completely deceived out of the 500,000 pounds.
As for whose pocket the half-million pounds ended up, no one can tell.
Venables only wanted to make money at Crystal Palace, and in the end the owners of Crystal Palace invested more than tens of millions of pounds in the transfer market. However, Venables led Crystal Palace to be relegated from the Premier League first, and then also faced relegation in English League One.
After he was done cheating, he resigned and left, leaving behind the stupid Crystal Palace boss.
It is precisely because of such bad records that Gibson does not dare to let Venables become a regular. He just hopes that Venables can help avoid relegation. Of course, Gibson is a good person. When asking Venables to rescue him, various conditions are as follows:
There was a lot of hype, but Gibson never thought about letting Venables continue to coach Middlesbrough.
"Chairman Gibson, your choice today will definitely go down in Middlesbrough's history."
Lister was overjoyed. Among the Premier League clubs, Middlesbrough is definitely the most suitable club for Moyes to coach. Gibson is rich, although he is not a world-class rich man like Abramovich. But he spends about 20 million pounds a season on transfers.
The market is not a problem. Although this amount of money is nothing, with Riester's help, the money can have the greatest effect.
"Mr. Cherney, I am very adventurous. Although Coach Moyes has achieved good results at Preston, he is too young after all. Becoming the head coach of a Premier League club at the age of 38 makes me very worried.
"
"Haha. Chairman Gibson, how about more clauses in our contract?"
"What terms?"
Gibson has already chosen Moyes, so he will not change easily. Just like Blair Robson, his results with Middlesbrough were very average, but Gibson has always chosen to believe in him. Now that he has chosen Moyes, then he will not change easily.
I will choose to believe him. However, it is his first time to cooperate with a big broker like List, so he wants to know more about List.
"Moyes' annual salary requirement is not high. Three hundred thousand pounds."
Moyes' current annual salary at Preston is less than 100,000 pounds, and his annual salary of 300,000 pounds is more than three times higher than before. But in the Premier League, a head coach's annual salary of 300,000 pounds is not very high.
It should even be said that he is at the bottom. Currently, there are seven or eight people in the Premier League with an annual salary of more than one million pounds. However, Moyes is young and his first time coaching a Premier League team is still worth 300,000 pounds.
"But we can have additional terms. If the team is relegated next season, then I hope the team can automatically renew the contract for two years. If it enters the top ten, then I hope that a reward of 100,000 pounds can be given. If it enters the top eight, then
It’s a reward of 200,000 pounds. If you can get a place in the UEFA Cup, it will be a reward of 300,000 pounds. Of course, if you can get a place in the Champions League, then it will be a reward of 500,000 pounds.”
Gibson nodded slowly after listening to Lister's words. He didn't have high demands on Moyes. Being able to avoid relegation in the first season meant that he had completed the task. As for being in the top ten, it meant that he had overfulfilled the task and would be better off giving him more rewards.
Not bad. Entering the top eight is a very good result for Middlesbrough in many years.
And getting a spot in the UEFA Cup was an unexpected surprise. The reward was 300,000 pounds, which was not much at all. Of course, he couldn't even think about getting a spot in the Champions League, or maybe it was just a good-looking thing.
But Gibson finally said: "Mr. Cherney, what if our club is relegated next season?"
"It's very simple."
Lister said word for word: "I will personally pay for the loss of Middlesbrough. Of course, I cannot calculate all the losses and compensate you, but once Middlesbrough is relegated under the leadership of coach Moyes, I will
I will personally pay Middlesbrough eight million pounds."
Gibson, who spoke neither hastily nor slowly, nor in a high voice, looked weak and his eyes widened for a moment. Of course, he quickly concealed the shock in his heart, but Lister completely felt the surprise at that moment. In fact, for Gibson
If Moyes really led the team to relegation, he could only say that he was unlucky. He really didn't expect that List would actually say that if the club was relegated, he would pay 8 million pounds.
Eight million pounds is not a small amount, it is equivalent to fifteen million euros when converted into euros. Even a rich man of Gibson's level would not dare to take out such money casually. Gibson's heart was stirred up. Either
Lister had absolute confidence in Moyes, either because Lister's financial strength was very strong, or because he liked gambling very much. He definitely did not expect Lister to dare to make such a bet.
"This condition of mine is valid during the contract period of coach Moyes. If the club is relegated during his contract period, this compensation amount will be valid. Of course, this compensation has a condition, that is, he must not be dismissed during the middle period of his coaching.
.This is true even if your grades are not good.”
Gibson nodded slowly.
"Mr. Cherney, since you have so much confidence in your coach, I have decided to believe you. I believe you will never regard eight million pounds as small money."
"Of course, Chairman Gibson. Eight million pounds, how many player transactions do I have to do to earn so much money. I dare to boast because I have enough confidence in my coach."
Lister is really confident in Moyes. Everton's lineup is worse than the current Middlesbrough, and their investment is far less than Middlesbrough. But even then Moyes can achieve very good results
, not to mention Middlesbrough now.
"Chairman Gibson, I have rarely been involved in English football before. But I also know the rules of English football. Although Coach Moyes is young, I think the club should give him enough rights."
