"David, I've already talked with Middlesbrough. Here's a copy of the contract. Take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it."
Among the coaches that Rist has come into contact with, Moyes is the youngest. But he is the most mentally determined. Even in Rist's opinion, Benitez is not as stubborn as Moyes.
Although Moyes is 37 years old, he will not be 38 in a few months. But he has a clear outline of his life plan, so much so that he has been observing Premier League clubs and even rejected invitations from some Premier League clubs. Okay. If he were an ordinary young coach, he would have been easily invited by a Premier League club.
"You have so much confidence in me."
Moyes did not pay attention to some of the previous issues at all. Because Moyes knows the Premier League clubs very well. Among the three clubs that List said are most suitable for Moyes, Sunderland has the best conditions. Sunderland The boss is rich and willing to spend money, and Sunderland is the strongest. Sunderland's current strength is definitely among the top eight in the Premier League. As long as some changes are made, Moyes believes that they can have the strength to compete for the League Cup. .
And Middlesbrough's conditions are not bad either. Their own strength is not bad, and the club's financial situation is also very stable. For Moyes, it is very satisfying to get the invitation from Middlesbrough. Therefore, he does not have the previous ones. Interested, he didn't understand many legal issues. Since he chose to cooperate with List, he would trust List. He was concerned about whether there were any clauses about his rights later, and of course he was also concerned about his salary.
When he saw the last clause, which was about the club's relegation, he asked Riester in surprise.
"I have always been very confident. I don't believe in you, I believe in myself. David, you can't let me lose eight million pounds. Then I will have to sell you to Russia to mine coal. "
"Hehehe."
After hearing what Lister said, Moyes also smiled. But he was really surprised. He didn't expect Lister to trust him so much. In English football, he dared to trust a rookie coach so much. Moyes believed Lister absolutely. is the first.
"David, there are more than three months left in this season. You need to start thinking about how to recruit next season. I have already talked with Chairman Gibson and he said he is willing to give you fifteen hundred in the summer. The transfer capital is around 10,000 pounds to 20 million pounds. And his requirements for you are simple. You should know after reading the contract. This is a 1+2 contract, as long as you can lead Middlesbrough to avoid relegation next season. , then the contract will be automatically renewed for two years."
When talking to Gibson at that time, Lister was a little surprised. Although Gibson had spent more than 70 million pounds in the transfer market in the previous seven seasons, he spent so much money again this summer. It really surprised Lister. .I also like this club president who likes to hide behind his back very much.
"A transfer fee of 15 million pounds? I have been a head coach for almost four years, and the total transfer fee is not even a fraction of that."
When Moyes heard the transfer fee of more than 10 million pounds, his eyes almost flashed with lightning. Preston was very poor, and their club's transfer fee in the past four years did not add up to 5 million pounds. This is what Moyes was doing Under the circumstances, he led Preston to become a strong team in English League One and almost entered the Premier League.
"David, take a look. This is the list of players I selected for you for Middlesbrough. They are all cheap but very strong players. There is very detailed information about them. If you are interested in any of the players,
If you are interested, I will send you the latest and most complete information. These information are the secrets of my company, so you must keep them well."
Lister gave Moyes a thick stack of information. There were information on more than 60 players in it, which Lister screened based on Middlesbrough's financial resources. Among them were not only current powerful players, but also some outstanding players.
There are no talented players who have become famous.
Moyes is very good at cultivating young players, and he is also very good at developing the potential of strong players. When he was at Everton, he trained talented players like Rooney. There are also players like Graveson, Baines, Lay
Players such as Scott, Fellaini, Arteta, Cahill and Jagielka all became famous under Moyes.
Moyes simply flipped through the list of players that List gave him. Among them were players he was familiar with, some whose names he had heard of, and many players he had never heard of. There were players in their 24s and 5s.
There are powerful players, there are also emerging stars who are just over 20 years old, and there are also some young talents under 20 years old. There are local players in England, some Eastern European players, and even some players from countries such as Italy, France, and Germany.
players.
From the information on more than 60 players, Moyes can imagine the strength that Lester has. Because collecting information on so many players requires a very large scouting system. After all, these players include the Premier League.
English League One, English League Two, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Serie A, French Ligue 1, La Liga, La Liga, and Moyes can easily tell that it includes nearly fourteen leagues.
Looking at this information, Moyes can really confirm that the scouting system owned by Leicester absolutely surpasses the scouting systems of English giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. This is not player information that ordinary scouting systems can complete.
"Rister, this information of yours is priceless. I believe that if I sell this information, I should earn at least one million pounds."
For many clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, their scouting system is almost a set-up. There is not much player information at all. Many clubs even follow media reporters. If the newspapers say that they are outstanding, they will follow them to take a look.
Of course, there are some smart clubs that are always paying attention to the actions of wealthy clubs. And many of the scouts of wealthy clubs will also do some part-time work, that is, first recommend players to their own clubs. Rich clubs have very high requirements for players.
Therefore, the chance of being selected among the players recommended by scouts is not high.
Once this happens, scouts will recommend players to clubs they are familiar with. This is a huge channel for many small and medium-sized clubs to obtain player information.
Therefore, the player information currently owned by List is kept confidential wherever it is kept. In history, when Kenyon moved to Chelsea, he directly took many Manchester United player secrets with him. For example, Robben moved to Chelsea because Kenyon brought
After taking away Robben's information, he personally came forward to finalize Robben's transfer. In fact, Manchester United had been talking to Robben for a long time. Ferguson had already met with Robben, and they were just short of the final signature. But Chelsea because of Ke
Nien's arrival robbed Robben in the process.
This is also the case with Nigeria's talented player Mikel. It was all because Kenyon took away Manchester United's player information at that time, which led to the phenomenon of interception.
"One million pounds? David. Smart people will not care about this kind of money. Your annual salary in the future should be three million pounds or five million pounds. You will be a multi-millionaire in the future. No kidding, except if they still
If there are players you like, their information will be sent to you in a short time."
"I see."
Moyes is very grateful to Rist, but saying he is touched is not enough. Because the two are in a cooperative relationship, Rist is now pushing Moyes. And Moyes knows that when he succeeds, he will repay Rist in the same way. England head coach
The benefits given to agents are beyond the imagination of head coaches in Spanish, Italian and German leagues.
"Didi didi——"
There are many phone numbers in Lister's mobile phone. Lister usually uses three phone numbers. One number is the company's number, including the company's employees, and the numbers of his own players. The other number is for contacting his family and friends.
.The other phone call contains the phone numbers of senior executives of major clubs, head coaches, and some reporters. There are more than 400 phone numbers in this phone number. If the phone numbers in this phone number are exposed, many people will definitely be willing to pay a high price.
Buy him.
Lister took out the phone and looked at it. It turned out that it was Daniel Levy Lister, the new chairman of Tottenham, who called and said with a smile: "Daniel, hello."
"Now?"
"Okay, Daniel. No, I'm in England. You don't have to go to Prague. I'll go to your place to find you. Okay, goodbye."
After Lister turned off the phone, he laughed. At first, it was just a slight smile, but the laughter got louder and louder. In the end, Lister was completely laughing.
"Rister, what's wrong?"
Moyes looked confused. Daniel. Moyes didn't know who he was talking about. Because names like Daniel were too common. Judging from the tone of the phone, the person on the other end of the phone should be in a hurry. Otherwise, he wouldn't think about it.
I wanted to go to Prague to find Riester. But Riester's reaction was really strange. After putting down the phone, Riester's smile was completely from the bottom of his heart.
Lister finally stopped smiling, then looked at Moyes and said: "It's a call from Daniel Levy, the new chairman of Tottenham. I know Campbell."
"Saul Campbell."
Moyes nodded. Who in the British football world doesn't think that Tottenham's captain is Campbell, England's main central defender. And what's even more uproar now is that Campbell rejected Tottenham's request for a contract extension. Campbell's contract expires at the end of this season.
When the time comes, he will leave for free. Now there are many clubs that want Campbell, and they are all European football giants. Including clubs like Barcelona, Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are involved. It can be regarded as the most popular in English football at present.
A hot topic.
"Tottenham can't keep Campbell. Look at how anxious Daniel Levy is."
A smile appeared on Lister's face again. Lister knew that historically Campbell defected to his arch-enemy Arsenal and became Tottenham's biggest traitor. Many Tottenham fans even issued death threats to Campbell. Thinking of it, Daniel Levy is now anxious.
Lister was happy because Daniel Levy was the shaker of the London stock market and had a net worth of tens of millions of pounds. He was a very famous figure in the London stock market.
Although Tottenham's backstage boss Joe Lewis has assets of more than 2 billion pounds and several football clubs, in terms of football, both Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy are just rookies. He entered
English football also needs help, and Lister wants to help. After all, Tottenham is also a major football club in England and will be more generous than Arsenal in the transfer market in the next ten years. But there have never been any good opportunities.
The two have some friendship, but they are not very close yet.
Only when something like this happens, Daniel Levy will look for him in a hurry. It can also be seen that Daniel Levy currently lacks connections in British football, so he found Lister. This is a
It's a great opportunity, an opportunity for Lister and Tottenham to work together perfectly. So Lister is of course very happy.
Moyes next to him didn't understand why Lister was so happy, but Moyes didn't ask. Instead, he lowered his head and flipped through the player information that Lister gave him.
"David, if you need anything, you can always come to me. I still have something to go to London for. But I guess I will be in England for a while."
"En. Lister, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me. Anyway, I have three or four months to think about it." (To be continued. (.).)
