Chapter 440: Going, Staying, (I)

A Chieftain's Gate affair orchestrated by the News of the World not only ruined the prestige and prestige that Eriksen had saved by coaching the England national team over the years, and gave him a mercenary hat, but also made the Swedes lose the fat contract with the FA with an annual salary of up to 4 million pounds - In fact, after causing so much trouble, causing irreparable bad impact on the reputation of the Premier League, and dragging the entire English football scene into the water, the FA did not immediately announce the termination of Eriksen's contract, which is already for the sake of the World Cup is imminent, and the temporary change of coach can easily cause an extremely serious negative impact on the national team.

However, even so, the outbreak of the Emirates Gate incident still casts a shadow on the Three Lions' prospects at the World Cup in Germany - if Eriksen is allowed to continue to coach, then it is very likely that the England internationals, who have a grudge against the Swedes, will not implement Eriksen's tactical arrangements as seriously as before, making it difficult for the Three Lions, as one of the favorites to play at the World Cup!

Not to mention, Eriksen also broke out a lot of scandals in English football, such as the Premier League manager's many tricks in the transfer transaction, and there are serious bribery problems within the FA, etc., which made the Swedes completely block his way to coach the England national team!

Although the News of the World, the mastermind of the Gates affair, wisely concealed the true identities of the clubs involved in the transfer deals, and did not name the FA officials who had taken bribes, people still deduced some of the "truth" from the reports and greatly undermined their trust in the league and the FA. Therefore, these FA officials will try to minimize the negative impact of this incident for the sake of their face and majesty in front of people, even if they are not thinking about the feelings of the players and fans!

It is precisely for these reasons that how to deal with Eriksen, the culprit, has undoubtedly become the primary issue that the FA needs to solve at this stage!

"Chairman Thompson (i.e. Jove Thompson, then FA president and UEFA vice-president), I didn't expect you to be available to call me. Noticing that the person on the other end of the line was an old acquaintance and ally, George couldn't help but joke, "The FA must be so busy by now that Eriksen stupid Swedish donkey is making trouble, right?

"Mr. Viscount, don't joke with me at this time. Thompson replied with a wry smile. He was embarrassed by News Corp.'s series of combination punches, and he was not in the mood to chat with George at this time, "What is the situation in English football now, I think you should know very well in your heart...... Long story short, can you do me a favor and get that damn News Corp to stop and report on this incident in depth. Also, if it's convenient, I'd love to find time to visit the FA headquarters. I'd like to ask you for your opinion on Erickson's stay in person. ”

"No problem, it's on me. To Thompson's surprise, George readily agreed to his request, neither politely nor taking the opportunity to ask for any favors, "As for going to FA headquarters, I have just a little time right now." I wonder if it's convenient for you, Chairman Thompson?"

"Convenient! Of course convenient!" Hearing George's reply, Thompson was naturally overjoyed, and quickly agreed on the phone. Although I don't understand why George would so happily agree to deal with the behemoth of News Corporation, now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for him to delve into it.

"Ellie, help me tell Murdoch that everything is in moderation. His news corps may be able to take advantage of the Chief's Gate to have no shortage of hype in the coming months, but please also remember one of my words of advice, if things get bigger, it's not a good thing for anyone. After hanging up the phone, George thought for a moment, turned his head and said to Elizabeth, "This matter is for you to deal with, Ellie, I will go to the FA headquarters to discuss some things with Thompson now...... This trouble caused by Eriksen must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise all English clubs, including Tottenham, will suffer serious losses because of his actions!"

Although George did not have any involvement in this turmoil, as a member of English football, he and English football have a relationship of both prosperity and loss. That's why he acceded to Thompson's request to help the FA and go to the FA headquarters at this sensitive moment, rather than choosing to watch from the sidelines and watch the FA sink deeper and deeper into this crisis.

As for whether this is another trap set by the News Corporation, planning to take advantage of the victory on the basis of the Chief's Gate and make another big news come out, George is not too worried. Although News Corp has always liked to do things, Murdoch and those News Corp executives are not fools, and naturally know that a big guy like George is something they will never be able to provoke!

Western journalists often claim to be the uncrowned kings, but in reality, they will never really provoke the real bigwigs – which is why Western journalists can write righteous and stern articles against governments, but few dare to judge the rights and wrongs of the Federal Reserve or the top conglomerates. Because these people are their real food and clothing parents, as long as one sentence can determine their future and destiny!

In this way, when George walked into the gate of the FA headquarters under the guidance of Jove Thompson, who was already waiting at the door, none of the paparazzi lying in ambush had the idea of making a big news about George!

Even if some rookies who have just entered the industry show such signs, they will immediately be severely taught a lesson by the seniors around them: "You kid don't want to die, you dare to go to this big man for trouble? Tell you, the last guy who jumped like you, his grave grass is now three feet high!"

These people know very well that if they really dare to create negative news about this big man, then they may end up either missing in government statistics, or they will be thrown into prison to pick up soap on various charges. Not to mention, even if they made something up, none of the media would have the guts to publish it!

Therefore, for the sake of their own safety and jobs, all the reporters present chose to remain silent with great tacit understanding, quietly waiting for a big fish that could make them do as much as they wanted.
