In the Tottenham club office, all the management are on pins and needles.
They just received a call from former boss Lewis yesterday that Tottenham had been sold.
The new boss hasn't arrived yet, but Li Changqing and others have successfully taken over the club.
In the conference room, Li Changqing solemnly announced his resignation to Levi.
Levy simply didn't attend. Compared to Lewis, Levy still has feelings for Tottenham.
He also pointed to Tottenham as being able to bring him more wealth.
The acquisition contract was written in black and white, with the phone number of the former big boss.
All the management's eyes drifted to the door from time to time, fearful and curious about the new boss.
Li Changqing's phone suddenly rang. He answered it and said a few words to all the management staff: "The boss will be here soon. Everyone, be prepared."
After speaking, Li Changqing opened the door of the conference room.
After a few minutes, a group of people walked into the conference room, all with Chinese faces.
The management suddenly realized that the new boss was from China.
Chen Dongcheng looked around the audience, walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
Everyone was stunned again. Isn't this new boss too young?
"Changqing, it's time to start."
Chen Dongcheng ignored the strange looks from others and directly ordered Li Changqing.
"OK."
Li Changqing bowed slightly, coughed slightly and said: "Just last night, our Eastern European Sports officially signed an acquisition contract with the Enic Group. This is Mr. Chen of Eastern European Sports, and he is also the real controller of Tottenham's future."
Everyone nodded silently, trying hard to digest this fact.
There is no doubt that this is a big earthquake for British football.
There was nothing wrong with this news before.
In order to please Chen Dongcheng, Lewis did not leak the news to the outside world.
It wasn't until this morning that many management employees knew this fact when they saw Li Changqing and others.
Chen Dongcheng said in English proficiently: "Tottenham needs a big change. I will hire a new CEO to take over Mr. Levy's position. I hope everyone will cooperate fully."
No one is surprised that the seat where Levi used to sit is now occupied by another person.
Little do they know that things are about to change for Tottenham!
A middle-aged white man sitting on the right side of Chen Dongcheng suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, I am the head coach of Tottenham, Pochettino, and I would like to know your plans and investment for the future of the team."
Pochettino was signed in May last year and has done well leading the team.
Especially under the control of a club president like Levi, who is so picky and sore, it is very rare to achieve fifth place in the league.
"Unlike Levy and Lewis, the stadium debt will not crush Tottenham.
Not only will we build the largest home stadium for any team in London, we will also invest heavily in the transfer market."
Pochettino quickly asked: "How much is this huge amount of money?"
Chen Dongcheng tore off a check and passed it to Pochettino on the table.
"Uh...what do you mean?"
Pochettino looked at a blank check and was confused.
Chen Dongcheng pointed at the check with a smile and said: "You can fill it out as you like. As long as you like the players, I will help you buy them."
"C Ronaldo, too?"
Chen Dongcheng nodded seriously: "As long as Real Madrid is willing to sell it, I can help you buy it."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the management staff suddenly changed.
Chen Dongcheng's style is completely opposite to that of Levi before him.
For Levi to say something like this, it would be more like a dream.
Pochettino felt his heart beating wildly with excitement. Isn't this new boss too generous?
As for the blank check thing, Pochettino had only heard of Chelsea's Roman Abramovich doing it before.
I never thought that I would experience it one day.
If he also had money, who would be willing to work so hard to dig out the little demon?
Wouldn’t it be nice to directly use money to buy famous players on the market?
Pochettino almost instantly had a long list of names popping up in his mind, all of which were the top picks of various teams.
As long as the money is available, it is estimated that few teams and players can resist.
"In addition to transfers, the team's salary structure also needs to be readjusted.
My plan for Tottenham is to be a giant club.
As a wealthy club, you can never let your players feel cold.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t make money, I hope to see Tottenham win more championships, do you understand?”
Chen Dongcheng's half-truth and half-false words made Pochettino and others feel a little untrue.
Does the new boss want to build Tottenham into a giant?
How much does this cost?
Pochettino thought of those wealthy clubs, and then thought of Tottenham's wage system.
No wonder the players are always dissatisfied. Anyone who changes will be unhappy.
With the same ability, the wages of Tottenham players will never be half as much as those of their opponents.
The most disgusting thing is that the agents and the media are constantly destroying the loyalty of the players.
Pochettino had to worry a lot to stabilize his morale.
Pochettino hesitated and asked: "Who will be the new CEO?"
"It will arrive in the evening, and you will definitely be satisfied."
Chen Dongcheng smiled mysteriously, which made everyone feel itchy.
That night, Heathrow International Airport.
Pochettino followed Chen Dongcheng in the Rolls-Royce, feeling a little nervous and looking forward to it.
A shrewd CEO can make his work more smooth.
Soon, someone knocked on the rear window.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and said to Pochettino: "We're here."
When the car door opened, Pochettino saw the mysterious CEO and was surprised: "Marotta?"
"Hello, Mauricio, nice to meet you, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
Marotta smiled and shook hands with Pochettino, his face a little tired.
He struggled for several days before deciding to give Tottenham a try.
Only then did Pochettino come to his senses and quickly replied: "On behalf of Tottenham Club, I welcome you to join."
Who is Marotta?
He helped Juventus establish an unbreakable Serie A dominance.
To poach him, the price paid is not small.
The liquidated damages alone amounted to 500,000 euros.
The annual salary + bonus offered to him is as high as 3 million euros.
This number is far higher than when he was at Juventus.
The main reason why Juventus did not object strongly was that they already had their favorite replacement.
Marotta resigned and a new person took over.
On the way back to the club, Pochettino couldn't calm down for a long time.
Of course he is aware of Marotta's ability. Marotta's friendship with those powerful agents can reduce the difficulty of negotiations when Tottenham buys players.
One of the special features of Britain is that there are so many paparazzi.
As the coach of a strong Premier League team, Pochettino's travels will naturally attract the attention of paparazzi.
"That old man seems to be Marotta?"
"I just checked, this flight is from Italy, it must be him!"
"Marotta came to London to meet with Pochettino. Is it possible that he wants to poach Tottenham's head coach?"
…
The paparazzi were confused, but they still reported it in major newspapers.
They speculated that Juventus might be changing their head coach, and Marotta came to investigate.
As a result, I was slapped in the face early the next morning.
Juventus officially announced its thanks to former CEO Marotta for his efforts and congratulated him on a better future at Tottenham.
Tottenham?
Marotta goes to Tottenham?
The fans who reacted instantly exploded.
"Stingy Levi is gone?!!!"
"Oh, God! That guy Lewis is smart for once!"
"Isn't Levi a good friend of Lewis? Why did you suddenly fire Levi?"
Tottenham fans were happy and puzzled.
But no matter what, Levy leaving is the best thing for Tottenham.
Juventus officially announced that Tottenham will not be left behind.
A press conference was immediately held. At the press conference, Marotta's words of thanks to the new boss immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the reporters.
"Tottenham have a new owner?"
"Mr. Marotta, please tell me the details in detail!"
“Is the owner of Tottenham Hotspur a Middle Eastern tycoon?”
…
Marotta is used to such small scenes, and said calmly: "The new owner's support for the team is unprecedented. As far as I know, the new owner gave Pochettino a blank check.
Team managers around the world should be careful, Tottenham will start making offers for your players."
Tottenham's new boss gives Pochettino a blank check!
This is definitely the biggest news!
Immediately afterwards, Tottenham officially announced the details of the transaction.
Eastern European Sports from China officially acquired all the shares of Enic Group and became Tottenham's largest shareholder.
Tottenham fans looked at the news posted on the official website in confusion almost the whole time. Why did the boss suddenly change?
The British fan culture is very strong, and fan organizations are an integral part of it.
Sometimes, even the management needs to consider the opinions of fan organizations.
Some reporters were unable to interview Lewis, but Levi was still able to contact him.
Levi was very unhappy with Chen Dongcheng for kicking him away.
But considering Lewis's warning, I still didn't dare to reveal too much information about Chen Dongcheng.
"I am not optimistic about Marotta taking over my position. The debt of Tottenham's new stadium will crush Tottenham's backbone.
Not to mention that the players have been eager for a salary increase, I would like to see how Marotta responds."
He was obviously gloating. He didn't believe that the Chinese people who bought the team were willing to spend so much money to increase the players' salaries.
Not only the fans, but also the players will whisper to each other during training.
"Hey, do you really want a salary increase?"
"It must be true. Our wages are too low. We are ridiculed by our opponents every time, and we are too aggrieved to refute."
"Only Kane and Lloris have the highest salaries in our team, but they are only 110,000 pounds. I hope the boss can be more generous this time."
…
Pochettino also noticed it and could only turn a blind eye.
The reason why Chen Dongcheng is willing to spend a lot of money to recruit Marotta is that he needs the other party's rich club management experience.
If you can manage a giant club like Juventus well and figure out Tottenham's salary structure, it will definitely be easy.
For them, it is nothing more than discussing which players will be given a salary increase and leaving room for the next salary increase.
Marotta and the management worked overtime and finally finalized a salary structure that satisfied everyone before night.
First of all, the salary of core players must be increased and they must not lag behind other teams.
To say that the real star in Tottenham's lineup should be Dane Eriksen.
However, under Levi's strong pressure, the Danes lived a miserable life.
It only costs 75,000 pounds a month, which is extremely cost-effective.
When Erikson was called to the office, he was a little uneasy.
Otherwise, honest people are the easiest to be bullied.
Erikson looked at Marotta and said solemnly: "Sir, you called me?"
Marotta smiled and nodded, pointing to Chen Dongcheng who was sitting next to him: "This is the new boss of the team, Mr. Chen."
Eriksen nodded cautiously and said hello to Chen Dongcheng.
"Hello, boss."
Marotta took out a contract unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Christian, we are very optimistic about you.
After Mr. Chen took over Tottenham, the first thing we did was to adjust the team's salary structure.
Mr. Chen positions Tottenham as a wealthy club, and as a core player of Tottenham, you will be the team’s permanent non-for-sale commodity.”
Rich family...not for sale...
Eriksen's mind was confused. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a dazzling line of numbers on the contract.
"Zhou Xin...150,000 pounds?"
Erikson's voice was trembling, and he looked at Marotta and Chen Dongcheng in disbelief.
Oh my God, he never dreamed that he could get such a high salary.
You must know that the British star Kane, who was touted without any bottom line by the British, only received a weekly salary of 110,000 pounds!
Marotta smiled kindly: "Kid, you are the treasure of the team. I believe you will be successful in Tottenham and stay in Tottenham forever, right?"
As for the annual salary in the contract, it says five years. If Eriksen is renewed until 2020, the liquidated damages are as high as 100 million pounds.
Eriksen glanced at it for a moment, then signed the contract with trembling hands.
At this time, he didn't need his agent to come over at all.
This is the big contract he dreams of!
Marotta nodded with satisfaction and explained gently: "In addition to the basic salary, your goal and assist bonuses, there are also other incentive terms.
If everything goes well, your weekly salary will reach £170,000.
He will be ranked tenth in the Premier League and become our star player at Tottenham."
The tenth weekly salary in the Premier League!
Tottenham star!
Eriksson was stunned after being hit hard by two consecutive hits.
However, he still stayed awake for the last time and never forgot to thank him.
Especially thanking Chen Dongcheng specifically, Erikson knew it very well.
The reason why I can get such a high salary is because of Chen Dongcheng.
This is the one who pays him a salary!
Chen Dongcheng gave a few words of encouragement and asked Erikson to leave the office first.
The players who were eavesdropping outside immediately gathered around.
"Christian, how much does the new boss give you a salary increase?"
Eriksson looked at a group of teammates with eyes full of expectation and said with a smile: "double."
"Oh My God!"
Everyone was stunned.
They have never been able to look past Eriksen's tragic experience.
But I didn't expect that the new boss would become so generous when he came.
Damn it, why didn't you tell that bastard Levi to get out earlier!
All the players looked towards the door of the office, as if it was their paradise, waiting for the message inside.
"Next……"
Players come into the office one after another, and even those who are new to the team will give each other some guidance.
It is impossible to get a salary increase immediately when you first come here. As long as you play well this season, a salary increase is not a problem.
Chen Dongcheng's request for them is very simple, they must compete for the top four this season.
If you can't win the championship, you have to go to the Champions League for a round.
I have to say that employees all over the world are the same, and there is no one who doesn’t like a salary increase.
Tottenham's players beat their chests and swore to the big boss one by one.
Even if I risk my life, I will finish in the top four this year and satisfy my boss.
Damn it, as long as you finish in the top four, the big boss promises an extra bonus.
Compared to the stingy Levi, the new boss is simply God!
