Michael Williams has become a laughing stock in English football and even European football agent circles, but his connections are not fake. For example, David Morse wanted to meet List through Michael Williams.
.Because he doesn’t want this matter to be publicized. After all, Houllier is still lying in the hospital. If any news comes out at this time, people will think that Liverpool is adding insult to injury. At this time, Houllier has been criticized by all European football circles.
The sympathy of the public was also met by the sympathy of Liverpool fans. At such a moment, Morse did not dare to act casually. That is why he approached Lister through the familiar Michael Williams.
Michael Williams just doesn't know his position clearly. His ability as an agent is average, but with his connections, he can make a profit just by wandering around the British football world. With his outstanding connections, doing some intermediary work is a good idea.
It's easy. Just like this kind of thing now, as long as he does well, not to mention Liverpool will give him benefits, Lester will also give him benefits. It's a pity that Michael Williams insists on being a player agent and ends up staying.
A huge laughing stock.
"Mr. Cherny, I believe you know what I mean when I come to you today."
Lister nodded and did not show any pretense that he did not know. However, Lister said with some doubts: "Chairman Morse, although Coach Houllier is hospitalized for a heart attack, he will always come back. And I believe it will be about half a year.
It’s only seven or eight months at most. I should be able to return to coaching as late as next season. I know Coach Houllier has a contract with Liverpool. Is it possible that Liverpool is planning to terminate the contract with Coach Houllier.”
Houllier is very popular, especially in France. Because most of the people in the French national team are players when Houllier was the head coach of the French youth team. Such connections are not much worse than Wenger. Riester is not willing to
Offending Houllier for a job. After so many years in this industry, Lister has understood one thing. The most powerful thing in this industry is not how strong you are, but how good your connections are and how popular you are. You cannot do it casually.
offend people.
Like Stretford this time, it's not just because he was calculated by Lister and Pini Zahavi. It's more because this person is usually too arrogant and domineering and has offended too many colleagues. Therefore, this encounter
When it comes to this kind of thing, too many people come and add insult to injury, which will lead to the current situation. Riester is not willing to do this.
"I have already consulted the doctor. Coach Houllier's heart disease will take at least half a year to recover. Of course, if it is just that, I will not be anxious. The doctor told me that Houllier's heart disease cannot be completely cured. He
Tell me that the best way for Coach Houllier is to leave the position of head coach. Because Coach Houllier's heart disease may break out at any time, especially in a very exciting position like a football coach. We are Liverpool Football Club.
I can't hand over Liverpool to a coach who can't determine the future. Just like this time, if something like this happens again in the middle, our club will completely fail in one season. I can't bet on it, and I can't afford it."
In fact, David Morse does not really like Houllier. After Houllier came to Liverpool, he purged all the original youth training players of Liverpool. From Redknapp, McManaman, Fowler
, James and other Evans supporters were purged by Houllier, and they have always had a high reputation among Liverpool fans.
What's more important is that Houllier has spent a lot of money since he came to Liverpool. In the transfer market in the past few seasons in the Premier League, only Ferguson has spent money comparable to Houllier. Houllier has already spent a lot of money.
nearly £100 million in funding.
But in terms of results, the top management of Liverpool are not satisfied. The five crowns last season were indeed brilliant. But my family knows their own affairs. The so-called five crowns, such as the Community Shield and the European Super Cup, have very low gold content.
The cup championship. The League Cup may be slightly better, but in England, for strong teams, it is a cup competition for training young people. If there is some gold, it is the UEFA Cup champion and the FA Cup champion.
If it were ten years ago, then the FA Cup champion and the UEFA Cup champion would have been extraordinary achievements. But twenty years ago, this achievement would have even been the achievement of a dynasty. Because the UEFA Cup champion at that time could compete with
The winner of the Champions League and the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup are compared to the three major European cups, and the FA Cup is also an important cup that can rival the league champion.
Unfortunately, it is neither twenty years ago nor ten years ago. Although the FA Cup champion is not too bad, it has been slowly moving closer to the League Cup champion, which is far from being comparable to the Premier League champion. And
This is especially true for the UEFA Cup champion. With the expansion of the Champions League, the UEFA Cup champion is far behind not only the Champions League champion but also the Premier League champion.
For world giants like Liverpool, only the Champions League and the league championship are what they pursue. Houllier spent so much money but did not achieve the same results, which made Morse not very satisfied. Plus
With the current heart disease, he really doesn't want Houllier to stay in Liverpool. Anyway, the heart disease is the best excuse.
Looking at the coaches that Europe can currently invite, although there are many famous coaches, he is most optimistic about Benitez. Because he has achievements and has won the Champions League. And he is young, he will be 42 years old next season.
"I wonder what Mr. Cherny thinks about this matter."
Lister showed a smile and said: "Chairman Morse, I am not complimenting Liverpool. Liverpool is a world-class giant, and it is a great honor for any coach to coach Liverpool. If Liverpool really invites Rafael, for
It’s certainly a very good thing for us.”
This is definitely not a compliment. Liverpool's status is really high. After more than ten years, Liverpool continued to decline, so its attractiveness has dropped significantly. But it is different now. Liverpool is one of the richest clubs in Europe. It is like Mourinho in
After Porto won the Champions League, there happened to be a vacancy in the position of Liverpool head coach.
Mourinho's first choice was Liverpool, because compared with Chelsea at the time, Chelsea was no match for Liverpool. But Mendes, who had a unique vision, persuaded Mourinho because Mendes was very smart.
, has already seen the future development trend of Chelsea and Liverpool. Therefore, he urged Mourinho to become the head coach of Chelsea. These things can also show the attractiveness of Liverpool at this time.
If Benitez jumps from Valencia to Liverpool, it will definitely be a leap for Benitez. Valencia has been strong in the past few seasons and is known as the traditional top five in La Liga, but compared with Liverpool, it is really heaven and earth.
The difference. But even so, Riester would not agree immediately. Benitez is currently the most famous young coach in European football.
He is a head coach who has won the Champions League. So after complimenting Liverpool first, List continued: "Chairman Morse, but I don’t want to get involved in this matter before the contract issue between Coach Houllier and Liverpool is over.
.I hope Liverpool and coach Houllier will resolve the contract between them first, and then we will discuss the details."
List has already offended Jerome Anderson, and of course indirectly offended Wenger. With their connections in France, it is very disadvantageous for List. If List wants to develop his power in France, he must offend Wenger.
It is basically a way to seek death. If you offend Houllier again, you will completely abandon French football.
David Morse nodded. He understood Lister's concerns. Because Lister's concerns were also Morse's concerns. He has always disliked Houllier, especially this season. Houllier's style of play is to
Irving is the core of the counterattack. If Irving is in good form, the results will be good. If Irving is not in good form, the results will not be good. Therefore, Liverpool's results are not stable at all.
But David Morse has never dared to fire Houllier because Houllier is so popular. His peers like him, the fans like him, and the players also like him. Fortunately, this time he had a heart attack, which made him
With an excuse, he was ready to have a good talk with Houllier and let Houllier leave Liverpool voluntarily.
"Mr. Cherney, don't worry. We will definitely resolve Coach Houllier's contract issue perfectly. You don't have to worry about this."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Lister let out a long sigh of relief. Lister had always wanted to build Middlesbrough as a fortress, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come. Once Benitez took over at Liverpool, Lister immediately established a foothold in English football.
With Liverpool's status in English football, Leicester can completely rely on Benitez to stand on a foothold with Manchester United and Arsenal in English football.
The advantage of destroying Stretford comes out at this time. If Stretford is still there, Liverpool will never look for Benitez. The relationship between Stretford and Liverpool
Very close, it will definitely hinder Liverpool's choice. However, Stretford's strength has dropped significantly, and Stretford has begun to hibernate, so Liverpool will not be interfered by Stretford at all.
"Mr. Morse, I know that competitive aspects of English football are left to the head coach."
"Yes, this is the difference between our English football and other leagues. If Coach Benitez becomes our head coach at Liverpool, then we will not interfere with Coach Benitez in terms of sports."
David Morse said cheerfully. Lister was also very satisfied, because in English football it is precisely because the head coach has great power that Lister is the favorite.
"Mr. Morse, as long as Liverpool and coach Houllier reach a separation agreement, we can discuss specific issues. I believe Liverpool will not regret choosing Rafael as the head coach." (To be continued.)
