After the business was finished, Dr. Thompson stood up and left, but Adam was still sitting where he was.
"Adam, if the topic is still the same as before, I am not going to discuss it with you. If you can save some money, you can save it. If you can save some money, you can't save a penny."
Aldrich's position on the construction of the medical department will not be swayed by money, nor will he take a step back.
Adam shook his head and said: "No, boss, the builder Rodel has been visiting us every day since the day before yesterday, urging us to fulfill the new stadium contract. He claimed that if we delay any longer, he will sue us for breach of contract."
Aldrich suddenly realized it. He leaned on the boss's chair and pondered for a long time. Then he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Adam, saying: "This is a design document I asked Andrew to find someone to make a few months ago. I plan to put it in
The land of the new stadium will be used to build a youth training base. After completion, it will be listed as a youth academy and named Leo."
Adam took the plan and flipped through it. There was a bird's-eye view inside. In addition to the training venue, other building facilities were marked.
He murmured: "Leo, Leo. Lions youth training base? It is in line with Millwall's tradition."
After closing the plan, he raised his head and looked at Aldridge, shook his head and said: "Boss, that land was originally used to build a stadium. The total project including the land was close to 20 million pounds. Now you say it will be converted into a youth training base.
The engineering contractors will definitely disagree, as this is obviously not in the interest of building a stadium, and they will think this is a perfunctory move."
Aldridge knew about the new stadium plan. Except for the fact that the land belonged to the Millwall Club, no payment was made for other project projects, but the contract was signed. Therefore, the project has been delayed.
Now it seems that those contractors are in a hurry. If the delay continues, their profits will become less and less, and they will lose money if things go wrong, because the costs are soaring over time.
Aldrich took out another document from the drawer, handed it to Adam and said: "This is a design drawing of the new stadium. It is not yet mature, but the general scale will not change. Go tell the contractors, now
Help us build a youth training base and a new stadium. Millwall will definitely build it in the future. It will be a bigger project than originally planned. We can sign a contract with them first and continue to cooperate with them when we have funds.
Calculated this way, they will make a lot of money."
Adam took the file and opened it, and what surprised him again was that the magnificent rendering showed a modern stadium, with the marked information clearly stating: capacity 65,000 people.
Adam thought that the balance of the club's account was less than 20 million pounds. It would be impossible to build such a large stadium without 100 million pounds. And no one could tell how much the cost would rise in the future.
Aldrich is the boss, so he doesn't need to hold shareholders' meetings and deal with the board of directors. Adam, a part-time worker, has it easier. He just does whatever the boss asks him to do.
After taking the two plans, Adam left. Before leaving, he reminded Aldridge that according to Millwall's influence only in East London, even if a stadium with more than 60,000 people was built, the attendance rate would probably be 50% at most.
.
Aldrich is not planning to build a new stadium right away, he is just preparing for a rainy day.
After finalizing the construction of the club's coaching staff and medical system, Aldridge continued to stay in London. He was preparing to attend the evening party hosted by the English Football Coaches Association at the end of the season. After all, he was going to receive the award.
On the new weekend, Aldridge had no interest in the news about the English League One play-offs. He just followed it. Middlesbrough and Bolton Wanderers reached the play-off finals, and the final game of the Premier League staged a thrilling scene.
Blackburn, led by Dalglish, played away to Anfield. With one goal ahead, Blackburn was reversed by the Red Army before the end of the game. Liverpool did not deliberately let go in order to help Dalglish, and Blackburn
We are anxiously awaiting the result of the Manchester United game at Anfield. If Manchester United wins, the championship trophy will slip through our fingers.
The Red Devils came to East London for the final game to challenge the Hammers, who had no desire for anything. Ferguson's team failed to change the score of 1:1 within 90 minutes and watched helplessly as the Premier League championship was won by Blackburn.
, while West Ham United were overjoyed to have blocked Manchester United from winning the championship. It cannot be said that they were more excited than they were to win the championship themselves, but in the end they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
The curtain of the Premier League came to an end, Blackburn won the Premier League championship in history, and the meritorious coach Dalglish resigned quickly. Blackburn owner Jack Walker said a famous saying after winning the championship: "This championship has made people find it on the map of Britain.
Blackburn."
Blackburn's "sas" striker composed of Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton has performed impeccably this season. Shearer scored 34 goals to win the top scorer, and Sutton also proved it with 15 goals.
own worth.
Manchester United, on the other hand, obviously lost the league championship due to the inability of their forwards in a key battle. After the game, the Manchester media all lamented that if they had Cantona and a better striker, how could the little West Ham United have stopped them?
The Red Devils reversed course and won the championship?
In the FA Cup final, Manchester United lost to Everton again. After dominating the Premier League for two consecutive years, the Red Devils lost all four majors this season!
The Premier League has passed, and the curtain has also fallen on the European arena.
Arsenal, who had a coaching change midway, fell to the bottom of the league standings, but made great progress in the European competition. However, in the final battle to defend the European Cup Winners' Cup, they lost to Real Zaragoza from La Liga in overtime and unfortunately finished second.
The Italian team continued its strong performance, Parma won the UEFA Cup, and AC Milan also entered the Champions League final, but unfortunately lost to another young team: Ajax!
When Ajax ascended to the throne of the King of Europe, the whole world exclaimed that the era of Ajax dynasty was coming.
Take a look at this team's lineup.
25-year-old Van der Sar.
22-year-old Reziger.
The 25-year-old DeBoer brothers.
19-year-old Seedorf.
Davis, 22.
22-year-old Peter Pan Overmars.
24-year-old Litmanen.
...
People are speculating on how long such a team of Ajax will dominate European football. In addition, Dutch players are regarded as a reliable guarantee of hard currency in the transfer market. Ajax has a steady stream of excellent blood-forming ability. Ajax
The dynastic era seems inevitable.
Rome was not built in a day, but it takes one day to destroy it.
Ajax would never have imagined that just one year later, their dynasty would fall apart. The Bosman Rule ended the closed era of the European football transfer market, and the era of player circulation was about to begin.
At the English Football Coaches Association dinner, Aldridge appeared in a smart suit and tie. Before the awards began, Aldridge received the most interviews compared to other League One coaches.
Among them, Richard from the "Daily Mail" pursued him fiercely, trying to ask him about his summer signing targets, while Thomson from the "Sun" asked many questions outside the topic, such as
Some paparazzi discovered that he was dating a beautiful young girl on the street. When will the club's shelved new stadium plan be restarted?
There was one question that surprised Aldrich.
"Mr. Hall, Millwall's outstanding performance last season earned you a nickname: Coach Killer. What do you think about this?"
"Coach killer? What do you mean?"
"According to statistics, last season you led the team to play against 28 different head coaches, and after fighting with you, four head coaches resigned, namely Derby County, Watford, Arsenal, and Swindon.
The team’s coach.”
Aldrich burst into laughter.
Derby County got off to a bad start, suffering a huge defeat at the Lion's Den and having their coach sacked.
Watford completely missed promotion to the play-offs after their clash with Millwall at the end of the season, and the coach was fired as a result.
Arsenal's record has nothing to do with it. Although Aldridge's Millwall stopped Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup, George Graham probably wouldn't have been fired if it hadn't been for the gold scandal. It can be regarded as a coincidence.
, after all, Graham was banned from coaching the team for one year by the Football Association.
Swindon Town were relegated two levels in a row and there was a scandal in the team conflicts in the last round of the game. It was understandable that the coach was fired.
Aldridge got the nickname "Coach Killer", which made him dumbfounded.
After low-key saying that everything was just a coincidence, Aldrich walked into the dinner venue.
He was not the focus, but he became the focus because of the approach of an old man.
Ferguson came over with a dark face, and Aldridge looked helpless. It was Dalglish who took away your championship. No, it should be said that Manchester United failed to live up to their expectations. They lost the championship even if they won the championship in the end.
What is there to blame about this?
But Ferguson's black face was placed in front of Aldridge.
"Look at them, sycophants."
Ferguson glanced at the star-studded Dalglish, who was also surrounded by Kevin Keegan, who also had Liverpool roots.
Aldrich rubbed his nose to hold back a laugh.
If the championship trophy is in your arms, there will be no shortage of flatterers around you.
Ferguson pulled Aldrich aside and said straight to the point: "Larson, make an offer. Aldrich, I have always regarded you as a friend."
“How much can Manchester United offer?”
Aldrich didn't refuse.
Ferguson's eyes lit up. The Red Devils will make a major change this summer. The transfer fee is not a big problem. He is already preparing to sell Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Kanchelski and others.
"Five million pounds. You have earned almost four million pounds in one year. You should be satisfied. After all, Larson has not been tested in the Premier League."
Aldridge waved his hand and said: "I'm not talking about the transfer fee, but the weekly salary. How many pounds of weekly salary can Manchester United give Larsson?"
Ferguson was slightly stunned. After thinking for a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Ten thousand pounds."
Aldrich shrugged and said: "Then you must be able to persuade Larson to cut his salary and join."
"Hmm? How much does he earn at Millwall?"
"The maximum salary in the team is fifteen thousand pounds."
Ferguson's eyes widened in disbelief and he said, "You're crazy!"
Who is the highest paid man at Manchester United?
Cantona earns £20,000 a week.
Then next, Schmeichel, 18,000, and the next level is 13,000. Young players such as Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, etc. do not have more than 4,000 pounds at all, and
Roy Keane and Andy Cole, who were bought at a huge price, only earned £10,000 a week.
It’s not that Manchester United can’t offer Larson a contract of 15,000 or more, but the team’s status and salary have always been linked. If Larson can get 15,000 at Manchester United, this will inevitably break the salary balance.
At that time, it will not be just one or two players who will have their salaries increased.
Ferguson understood. Aldridge never refused him, but directly sealed the possibility of a transfer.
He was a little confused, between the handsome young man in front of him, who was the cunning one?
"Aldridge, can you tell me, Millwall's wage budget for next season?"
Aldridge smiled slightly and said: "I'll tell you the specific figures directly. Next season, the team's salary expenditure should be between 10 million pounds and 15 million pounds."
Ferguson's eyes widened. This level of expenditure cannot be compared to even the top teams in the Premier League.
"How many players are there in your team who earn more than 10,000 per week?"
"Not much, almost all the main players are worth over 10,000 pounds."
"Millwall are so rich! Can you make £10 million a season?"
"I don't know. The net income last season was probably less than 10 million pounds. This season it should be more. Alas, we will definitely lose money this season. It doesn't matter. I don't care."
Ferguson backed down. He was not just interested in Larsson. Several players wanted to pack up and recruit Manchester United. Unfortunately, the salary was too high. As a wealthy club, it would be too embarrassing for Manchester United to ask players to cut their salaries and join them.
Already.
But in his heart, he didn't care about Aldrich. According to the other party's approach, the club will collapse sooner or later!
