As a time-traveler with memories of his past life and great success in this life, George's heart can be said to be extremely proud. That's why he made such a request to Thompson. Because he didn't want to overturn in the gutter over the issue of coaching the England national team, and let it become an indelible stain on his glorious resume.

No one likes to coach a team that is only famous, but in fact strong on the outside. Not to mention, most England fans and the media won't recognise it – if England don't perform well at the World Cup, they will definitely think it's because of the manager's incompetence and miscommand, rather than because the Three Lions themselves are not at this level of quality as a whole.

Therefore, George will only make a final decision if he has conducted a detailed investigation and has a deep enough understanding of the true level of the Three Lions!

Although there are many big British players in the Tottenham team now, under the careful training of the Tottenham coaching staff, the technical level of Ledley King and others has improved quite significantly compared with the previous life. At the very least, they can move the ball out of the way when the opponent is pressing, rather than being overwhelmed by the opposition's pressing. So, for George, Ridley King doesn't have much reference value, because they don't reflect the overall level of English players at the moment!

"No problem. For George's request, Thompson naturally agreed. For him and the FA now, George's thick thigh is undoubtedly the object they absolutely can't afford to offend, and they want to try to please him: "But you also know that there is not much time left before the start of the World Cup. So I sincerely hope that, Mr. Viscount, you can make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, the national team will probably be even more negatively affected. ”

"Don't worry. Since Thompson had given himself enough face, George naturally had to feed the other party a reassuring pill, and immediately replied, "I will give you a definite answer in a week at most." ”

Although the week is a short time, with the resources at George's disposal, it is enough to make a rough assessment of the overall level of these England internationals. After all, this is a society where money can make ghosts grind. And with the resources and energy that George currently has, he can even make the grinding ghost!

……

"So, George, what are you going to do this time?" Gently rubbing George's temples with both hands, Elizabeth Hood lowered her head and looked at George, her eyes full of seriousness, "You should know very well that now that the members of Manchester United's Class of 92 and the Liverpool Tigers are old, there are very few players in the England national team who meet your requirements." In such a situation, if you choose to take over the mess left by Eriksen, then there is a good chance that it will cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

"That's right. Hearing his fiancée's questioning, George smiled bitterly and expressed his thoughts and thoughts, "But Ellie, you also know that it has always been my wish to change the situation of the England national team's languishing in international competitions and become a veritable top team, rather than just the favorite in the mouth of the media and fans...... If I miss this one, I'm afraid it's hard for me to get another chance like this. ”

Although Eriksen's successor in the previous life was McLaren, the fool who could make the England national team miss the European Championship finals, George did not dare to guarantee that the FA would have the courage to replace McClaren as the national team manager at a critical moment. After all, before England were knocked out by Croatia, McClaren's coaching ability and strategy were criticized, but his position was not yet in jeopardy. You know, not many people believed at the time that England would actually lose to the seemingly weak Croatia in a battle of life and death. So, even if George had this heart, other Premier League clubs would not necessarily agree to the FA's appointment!

Not to mention, due to the butterfly effect, there is a big question mark over whether McLaren can become the new manager of the Three Lions as he did in his previous life. You must know that McClaren in this life did not lead Middlesbrough to win the League Cup like in his previous life, let alone lead the team to the League Cup final. It is this change that makes McLaren's evaluation at this time much lower than in his previous life, and many fans even think that he does not live up to his name - with many well-known stars such as Hasselbaink, Southgate, Parlol, etc., the England national team assistant coach cannot lead Middlesbrough to a European place, which is the strongest evidence of this view!

"That's true. Eli also understands that George's current identity and background as Tottenham owner and manager is the biggest obstacle preventing him from becoming the national team manager. Although according to the regulations, the selection of the national team manager is the job of the FA, and the clubs have no right to interfere, but how can the FA not care about the thoughts and feelings of the club at all when the national team is based in various clubs in England?

While Chelsea and Manchester United will certainly be supportive of George's re-incorporation, Arsenal and Liverpool will definitely do their best to thwart it. As a result, George's desire to coach the national team would undoubtedly be difficult to turn into reality under normal circumstances!

Therefore, although the Gates of the Chiefs incident, concocted by News Corp., has had a great negative impact on English football and the Three Lions, it may not be a bad thing for George himself!

"Now it seems that George should have made up his mind a long time ago, right? Those words to Thompson were just an attempt to add a layer of insurance before making a final decision. Reading George's thoughts, Elizabeth changed her words and began to analyze the possible benefits of George's coaching, "If George you are really sure that the national team will achieve enough outstanding results in the World Cup in Germany, then this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to enhance Tottenham's influence in English football!"

The reason why Manchester United have been able to outperform the Reds in English football despite the lack of Champions League trophies and league titles is largely due to the fact that the two peaks of Manchester United included English players at its core (Bobby Charlton in the Busby era, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers in the Ferguson era). Their presence, combined with the Red Devils' penchant for playing with homegrown players (such as Bryan Robson, Ray Wilkins, Steve Bruce, etc.), has given United an extraordinary place in the hearts of English fans.

And what about Liverpool? Bill Shankly, who started the era of the Liverpool dynasty, was a Scottish. During the years when the Reds dominated Europe, the core of the team was Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish, two Scotsmen, and the ace in the front line was Ian Rush, a Welshman, who finally produced Kevin Keegan, an English representative, and was sold to Hamburg after Liverpool's first Champions League triumph...... Therefore, in the eyes of English fans, Liverpool, who likes to use "outsiders" as the leader, is naturally not as good as Manchester United, which is more localized!

Therefore, for Tottenham to reach the same heights as Manchester United at home, George needs to do not only lead Tottenham to enough trophies, but also ensure that the English players in the team are well-known enough. At least, the limelight of these local players must not be completely suppressed by foreign players such as Ronaldo and Alonso!

There is no doubt that if George's LinkedIn Glen national team, especially the England national team with Steven Gerrard, Ledley King and other Tottenham players as the main team, gets a satisfactory result in the World Cup, then it will play an extremely positive role in establishing Tottenham's club image and enhancing Tottenham's status in the hearts of English fans!
