Chapter 438: If You Don't Die, You Won't Die
After the news of Kenyon's sacking from Chelsea spread through the media, English football was immediately applauded, and no one said a word of regret for Kenyon who ended up in such a situation. Even George chose to fall into the trap and not offer a position to his former colleague and friend after Kenyon was laid off. It can be seen that in the past few years as Chelsea's CEO, Kenyon's behavior of poaching and wantonly cutting off competitors has caused how many people are dissatisfied and hostile to him!
In this regard, Manchester City in the previous life clearly did much better than Kenyon. Don't look at the blue moon after the arrival of the Arab tycoons in the transfer market, but Manchester City has done the best, and at the same time the most shrewd, it has forcibly bought players who have been forced to spend money in the process of rising to the top of the club (such as Kompany, De Jong, Lescott, Gareth Barry, etc.). As for those players who have switched from the big clubs, they are basically stars who have clearly shown their intention to leave before Manchester City made the move (such as Robinho, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Adebayo, etc.). Therefore, even if Manchester City finally pays a lot of money to successfully take away a star from these giants, it will basically not affect the relationship with the other party!
This approach of not directly hurting the interests and face of other giants as much as possible has allowed Manchester City to get a more relaxed space for growth, and finally made it successfully break the situation of "BIG4" monopolizing the Champions League seats and become another team with the strength to win the Premier League!
Some people may talk about Manchester City's poaching of Adebayor and Kolo Toure, two Arsenal generals, and think that the above paragraph is nonsense. I'm sorry, Arsenal at that time could basically be said to be in a state where anyone could be sold except Fabregas and Wenger himself, so although Adebayor and Kolo Toure insisted on jumping ship to join Manchester City, although the Gunners were extremely angry, it actually did not make Arsenal and Manchester City become enemies. Not to mention, in the eyes of most people, Arsenal's behavior of selling captains and team players every year (Vieira in '05, Ashley Cole, Pire and Campbell in '06, Henry and Flamini in '07, Hleb and Gilberto in '08, etc.) has made it difficult to call it a big club!
Chelsea, on the other hand, not only cut off the prey that the giants (especially Manchester United) have been watching for a long time, but also always openly use some tricks that are not on the table. For example, in this Mikel incident, even if Kenyon relied on Abu's financial resources to defeat Manchester United head-on and forcibly smashed the Nigerian youngster with a lot of pounds, it would not have caused such strong dissatisfaction with Ferguson. As a result, the former Chelsea CEO chose the easiest way to exacerbate the conflict, forcibly cutting off Mikel's contract with Manchester United when he had already initialed his contract with Manchester United, and took the Nigerian to Stamford Bridge!
Too domineering and arrogant in the transfer market, leaving no room for anything. In this way, Chelsea were able to win the Premier League title in the second year of Abou's arrival at Stamford Bridge, but it also laid the foundation for the future - Tottenham did not sell Modric to Chelsea, but was willing to sell him to Real Madrid for a similar price; Everton also tried every possible way to transfer to Stones, and finally sold him to Manchester City; and Chelsea did not get a piece of the pie in the subsequent Southampton partition battle, and could only watch the Saints be divided up by other Premier League powers...... These deals show the toughness of other English clubs towards the Blues!
When the economy is in a downturn, he wields banknotes and forcibly poachs people, and he doesn't show any mercy, so don't blame the opponent for relieving himself and joining forces to stage a drama of joint encirclement and suppression!
'Alex, Peter [Kenyon] guy has gotten out of Chelsea. After learning of Kenyon's dismissal, George immediately made a phone call and told Ferguson the good news, "With this lesson, I believe that Chelsea should be more or less restrained in the transfer market in the future." ”
"Thanks, George. For me, Kenyon's dismissal as a bastard is the best news. Ferguson's mood instantly improved after receiving George's notification, and he replied with a smile on the phone, "Without this traitor's advice, Chelsea would not have been able to cause me such a big problem in the transfer market as they are now!"
Ferguson isn't talking nonsense. In fact, it is the presence of Kenyon that Ferguson's several reinforcement actions will be so easily detected by Chelsea and completed the interception - because he has been the CEO of Manchester United, Kenyon is too familiar with the Red Devils' recruitment ideas and specific processes, so he can analyze the Red Devils' recruitment plans by tracking the actions of Manchester United scouts or other staff, so as to launch a very targeted sniping against the Red Devils in the transfer market!
And that's exactly what happened. After Kenyon's departure, Chelsea have been able to rely on the deep pockets of their owners to make a splash in international football, but the Blues' level of recruitment has dropped a notch from Kenyon's time, when Chelsea's bench depth was the highest in Europe, and there were a lot of talented players on the bench. And since his departure, the strength of Chelsea's squad has deteriorated. By the time George crossed over, the Blues even had a shortage of personnel in positions such as central defenders and strikers!
At the same time that George finally settled the conflict between Manchester United and Chelsea and warned Abramovich with practical actions, English football was in turmoil because of another person's death - under the careful planning of "News of the World", the Three Lions head coach and Swedish coach Eriksen broke the "Emirates Gate" incident that shocked the entire English football world!
That's right, although most of the English media are fighting with their Catalan counterparts because of George's relationship, the "Chiefgate" incident still happened as in the previous life, and the Swedish coach was completely ruined!
Magar Mahmoud, a journalist who specializes in getting close to his target by disguised himself in order to gain news by stealing his target, has made a name for himself again with this incident - disguised as a sheikh from Dubai, who tricked Eriksen and his agent into a lot of money, and got a lot of money from the Swedes!
Of course, the fact that he has come to this point can only be blamed on Eriksen himself for getting too carried away. If the Swede can still maintain the cautious style he had when he first took office, and not make any negative comments in the face of temptations from all sides, instead of putting on a mercenary face like this time, and judging his international players, then how could he poke out such a big basket?!
If you don't die, you won't die. This time, Erickson used practical actions to personally verify the correctness of this sentence!
