Lando was Portsmouth's top scorer last season and seventh on the First Division scorers' list. Although he moved to Portsmouth for £1.3 million last season, there are not many teams interested in him due to the downgrading of the squad and the activation of the transfer clause. However, Lando didn't care, and the agent had already proposed to the club: "It's okay to stay, but the weekly salary needs to be raised to 3,500 pounds." "If the money is satisfied, it doesn't hurt to play in the second division for a few seasons.

The phone rang, and Lando, who was having breakfast, gave his girlfriend an apologetic look, left the table, and picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Lando." ”

"Good morning, Lando. "It was Lando's agent who called," Portsmouth has agreed to our transfer. If nothing else, we will join Blackburn Rovers next season. ”

"Oh?" Lando was a little strange, he thought he would always keep more, but he didn't expect the club to be so happy, "Do you know how much the transfer fee is?"

"£2.2 million. Just got a call from Pixar. "It's about rebuilding the team and giving each other enough time." ”

The reason?Landau frowned slightly, maybe. With his own performance last season, this transfer fee can only be regarded as passing. However, it is quite normal for a relegated team that is eager to repay its debts to be hit and eat meat. Whatever, it has nothing to do with him anyway. So Lando smiled, "Pip, then try to negotiate a good contract for me." ”

"Of course ......"

Hanging up the phone, Lando smiled at his girlfriend: "Honey, it's time for us to go on vacation." ”

......

Jarves was also a midfielder brought in by Portsmouth last season to play in the First Division, and his performance can only be described as unsatisfactory. However, in terms of ability, it is enough to stand as the main force in the second division. So both he and his agent are a bit half-hearted about whether to transfer or not. However, on this morning, Yalvis also received a call from his agent......

Baird had a frustrating season when he was named 'the worst signing of last season' by the local Portsmouth newspapers, and the £1.1 million transfer fee became a joke. However, it was also on this day that when I received a call from my agent, agreeing to a transfer of £500,000. Baird was immediately filled with anger, and he felt that he had been humiliated by this ultra-low price......

In fact, Pixar didn't mean to humiliate anyone at all, or rather, he wasn't available at all. Yesterday afternoon, Jing Jian came to the club in secret, and the news of the club's acquisition was not made public to the outside world.

After some conversation, it became clear that Jing Jian was ready to rebuild the team like a rebirth, so while the news was still confidential, Pixar had to clean up those "redundant" players as soon as possible.

Despite Portsmouth's recent relegation, the team is quite bloated, with 41 first-team players. It has to be said that Portsmouth is very human, when they were promoted in the previous season, many of the heroes stayed in the team, and last season they recruited aggressively. On the other hand, the players are paid very little anyway, so it doesn't matter how many more people you raise. But now, in order to rebuild the team, there needs to be enough slots.

Therefore, since Jing Jian left yesterday afternoon, Pixar has been busy until now. All players who propose a transfer will be released as long as an offer is made by another club. Even if there is an offer, the player's attitude is very ambiguous, and it is also released. As a result, there are as many as seven players who have directly made transfers. Of course, such a transfer fee cannot be raised at all, and it will be somewhat lost. Since these players are basically the main players, the transfer fee adds up to a lot of £5.7 million.

......

And a large number of other players have also been purged, and these players are almost all substitutes, a total of 12 people, Pixar has called them one by one, let them fend for themselves, and the team will not create obstacles in the transfer fee.

Such a large-scale layoff plan, of course, spread quickly. And Gavin has been uneasy since he received a call from his teammates. The 31-year-old has spent his career with Portsmouth as the team's second captain, and despite a dip in form last season, Gavin has a deep affection for the club.

The phone finally rang, and when a voice came out of the microphone, Gavin's voice became slightly trembling: "Mr. Pixar, are you looking for me?"

"Gavin, I'm sorry. Pixar's words made Gavin's heart sink, "There may not be a place for you in the team lineup next season, and if you must stay, you can only be given a one-year contract, and most of your games will be in the reserves." Of course, as a thank you for your contribution to the team, the club will not charge any transfer fee for your proposed transfer. ”

Gavin's heart is getting heavier and heavier, does he have to leave the team, and then retire for a few seasons in the lower leagues, and then retire and end his career?

Unexpectedly, Pixar continued: "Gavin, you have another option to join the coaching staff, along with Richard, as an assistant coach and assist the future head coach. In the beginning, though, you'll probably be primarily a coach of the reserve team. And there will be no change in the weekly salary. If you agree, the club will offer you a new contract......"

Such a twist and turn has already made Gavin ecstatic. Before Pixar could finish speaking, he excitedly shouted, "Mr. Pixar, I do, I do!"

Jing Jian's purge of the team is just to set the principles, and the specific implementation is Pixar, or rather, this is an exam for Pixar. And Pixar is obviously not a "qualified" team manager, he can't be ruthless, and he still has a strong fan attribute. Therefore, for those loyal old courtiers, although they are no longer suitable for the future development of the team, Pixar is still open and gives them the choice, either to sign for another year, or to transfer for free.

And of the five old courtiers, one of them chose to retire, and two chose to transfer for free. No one will choose to "sign for another year", that is, charity, no one is willing to give up their dignity.

Of course, the old courtier is also different from the old courtier, and will also be treated differently. One person was placed in the academy and became the coach of the junior group. Gavin joined the team's coaching staff and became a future assistant coach alongside former reserve coach Richard.

In addition, the players who remain are not necessarily safe and sound, just because they still have a certain value and do not change for the time being. When the new head coach of the team takes office, there will definitely be a new wave of purges. Of course, there are losses and gains, and there are five good players in the youth team, and this time they were called into the first team.
