"Ellie, did you say that this guy Erickson was given some kind of ecstasy by that reporter at that time, and why did he dare to talk nonsense?" Putting the "Sunday Times" in his hand on the coffee table, George was speechless and complained to Elizabeth, who was giving himself a head massage, "It is really an ingenious way to die in front of an outsider to explain all these things that cannot be put on the table." ”

If Eriksen had only expressed his willingness to act as an intermediary in a meeting with the fake Emirati tycoon, helping him buy a Premier League club by charging a certain amount of money, then the Emirates Gate incident would not have caused such a stir in English football - in the more than ten years since the establishment of the Premier League, English fans have long been very resistant to this kind of thing under the "training" of Murdoch's News Corp. This can be seen from the fact that Alex Ferguson, Vinables, Allardyce and Redknapp Sr. were all exposed to black and gold scandals in the newspapers, but they are still active in English football today.

In reality, most fans don't care too much about whether the manager actually took any advantage in the transfer deal – Venables, who is notorious in English football, is the most popular and most successful Three Lions manager since Robson Sr.; Ferguson led Manchester United to dominate the Premier League for more than ten years, and the treble in the 98-99 season ended the bad situation of English football that had been outside the mainstream football circle in Europe after the Heysel tragedy, and brought the Premier League back to the ranks of Europe's top leagues!

Therefore, as long as the team has a good record and does not have a serious negative impact on the club, what fan cares about the style or character of the head coach?

However, I don't know if he was anesthetized by alcohol, Eriksen did the last thing he should have done - when the work contract with the FA still has more than two years to expire, the Swede actually openly stated in front of the fake chieftain: as long as the other party successfully buys a Premier League club and offers him an annual salary similar to Mourinho, then he can leave the England team after the World Cup in Germany!

While it's natural to go for better pay and higher incomes, it's rare for a manager in football to choose to move to another team before his contract expires, as this is absolutely unacceptable in the eyes of most people. In their opinion, the manager can go to another team after being sacked or peacefully separated by the club, but he must not do anything to fire the club for money - Don Rivy, the last Don Levy who dared to abandon the Three Lions for a high salary, is still regarded as "Judas" and "traitor" by English fans until 30 years later!

In addition to that, Eriksen said a lot of things that shouldn't be said. For example, he commented on his big-name internationals: Rio Ferdinand was sometimes a slacker on the training pitch, Owen chose to play at Newcastle for money, Wayne Rooney had a bad temper and was not upbringing because he came from a poor family, David Beckham was not happy at Real Madrid, and Wright Phillips was not worth the £24 million transfer fee......

If Eriksen's previous remarks about leaving the England national team and getting a high salary at Aston Villa only put him in a coffin specially tailored for him by Mazar Mahmoud, then this comment on his international players can be said to be the Swede's last nail in his own coffin board - no player will support a manager who openly talks about his shortcomings in front of outsiders, and no one wants to play for such a manager!

As a result, after the Chiefsgate scandal, Eriksen's popularity plummeted, from a national team manager who was loved by England fans to a street rat that everyone shouted at. At the same time, the prestige of the Swedes in the England national team has been greatly damaged and weakened - although the internationals named by Eriksen in the incident have all said in interviews that they will continue to support the Swedes and do their best to bring the World Cup winner from Germany back to Great Britain, but who knows what is really in their hearts?

What's more, Eriksen also mentioned another extremely taboo topic in the conversation, and claimed that as far as he knows, there are three Premier League clubs that have serious corruption problems in player dealings!

Unlike other countries, most of the clubs in England at this time were in charge of the transfer by the head coach. Although this approach allows the manager to better introduce players and try to avoid the embarrassing situation that new signings do not meet the needs of the team, there are also many problems, such as the transfer black gold problem that has been repeatedly exposed by the media!

Although the acceptance of favors and kickbacks in player transfers is not unique to England, and Barcelona and Real Madrid have also had similar scandals, due to the unique tradition of English football, once such an incident occurs, the person who is recruited is usually the manager of each team. And for most fans, in addition to the players, they are probably most familiar with these managers. This means that whenever a black gold scandal breaks out in English football, the negative impact on the Premier League is often much greater than it does in other countries!

Having offended fans, players and clubs, as well as the FA, and poked out a big hole, causing countless troubles to the FA and various Premier League clubs, there is no doubt that Eriksen's road to coaching the England national team has come to an end - Even if Eriksen's results in the past five years have not been bad, no one can tolerate a mercenary who does not even have a guard on his lips and dares to say anything to continue to sit in the position of the head coach of the Three Lions!

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. There are things that can be done quietly, and no one will really get to the bottom of it, but it must not be put on the surface. And what Erikson did, undoubtedly violated these taboos, and dragged everyone else into the water together!

Therefore, although there are still more than four months to go before the start of the World Cup in Germany, and Eriksen is busy calling to apologize and repair the relationship with his international players after the Chiefs Gate incident, everyone knows very well that no matter what the final result of the Three Lions is, the Swede is destined to get out of the position of head coach of the England national team after the World Cup!

The only question now is whether Eriksen will leave on his own accord and part ways with the FA peacefully, or whether he will remain in his position as national team manager and wait until he gets a hefty release fee from the FA before choosing to leave.
