"Mr. President. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

On the evening of January 23, 2003, West Ham United Terry Brown's office.

It's late.

But the lights were still on in Terry Brown's office, and Terry Brown was sitting in his chair and smoking, smoking. The hand holding the cigarette kept shaking, shaking very much. Paul Pitt knew it was because of Terry Brown's angry performance.

The game just ended, and both of them watched the game together.

Four goals were scored.

Lost 2-4 to the opponent. And the opponent is not very strong, it is Charlton with average strength.

Terry Brown didn't say a word after the game, and that's been the case until now. So Paul Pitt could only call Terry Brown.

Terry Brown regulates his breathing to calm himself down.

"Paul, how many points do we have now?"

"Eleven points. ”

"Eleven points?"

Terry Brown smiled wryly.

The Premier League has played twenty-four rounds and is almost two-thirds of the way out. Today's game was a make-up match for the 22nd round of the Premier League. After 24 rounds, West Ham United only got one win, eight draws and 13 defeats.

What a result this is.

West Ham are currently bottom of the Premier League on points.

"How many rounds have we not won?"

'We haven't won since the win away at Chelsea in the seventh round. ”

Paul Pitt was well aware of the data and immediately replied. There are only 38 rounds of matches in the Premier League, which means that there are only 14 rounds left in the Premier League.

West Ham have only 11 points.

Since the 9596 season, the Premier League has been restructured into twenty teams, and after 38 rounds, the 9900 season has the lowest relegation points. But it's also thirty-six points.

Next is the 39 points of the 9596 season, and the others are generally above 40 points.

In other words, West Ham still need to score at least 25 points or more, and if things are bad, they need to get around 30 points. But 25 points, that's more than eight games.

There are only fourteen rounds left.

Win eight?

Or at least eight. Where can West Ham now be able to win eight of the remaining 14 rounds? And if the situation is not good, it is estimated that ten games will be won.

How is this possible.

If West Ham had that quality, how could they be reduced to this point now?

"Paul, are we completely hopeless this season?"

Terry Brown watched today's game in complete despair, and has been frowning deeply since he returned. In fact, what Terry Brown doesn't know is that although West Ham United have historically been relegated this season, the points are still relatively high.

Historically, West Ham have played 17 points after playing 24 games.

Pity.

It's a pity that West Ham United in this time and space was swept away by Oxford United, a team in League Two, and after being ravaged fiercely, the morale of West Ham United players dropped to the bottom, and Glenn Rod became more and more panicked.

So in the three games since the third round of the League Cup, West Ham have won two.

But this plane is different.

West Ham United was demoralized at that time, and it can be described as a series of defeats. After losing to Oxford United, it turned out to be a wave of five consecutive defeats. So much so that by now, West Ham United have accumulated eleven points. There is really no hope.

So Terry Brown was frustrated.

"No, Mr. President, it is not yet time for complete despair. Now we have low points with Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion. Needless to say, Bolton are fourth from the bottom, but now they have only 24 points. As long as we play a little better in the rest of the games, there will be miracles. ”

Paul Pitt cheers up Terry Brown.

Hopefully he doesn't give up hope.

Although Paul Pitt understands that with the current performance of West Ham United, it will be difficult to avoid relegation, he still cheers up the West Ham chairman and cheers himself up.

"Still hope?"

"Yes. ”

Paul Pitt said: "We brought in some players this winter and I'm sure we can still avoid relegation. We still have quality in the team,"

"There is hope, there is hope. ”

Relegation.

Terry Brown sighed.

Once a team is relegated, then the losses are significant. West Ham are strong. In terms of strength, the current West Ham are at least a mid-table team in the Premier League, or even a team that can attack the League Cup places. Who would have thought West Ham would have such a poor season this season.

At present, West Ham United has a lot of strong players and many internationals. Of course, as a team that has a very good academy level, West Ham have more young talent at the moment.

It is these players that Terry Brown is most worried about.

Once relegated, most players can't be retained. And once relegated, there will be a big problem with the team's sponsorship, and then there will be a problem with the team's finances.

It's all a headache.

Of course, it would be the best thing if you could be relegated.

"Shit, damn Glenn. I shouldn't have trusted this big liar. This big liar had a lot of fiascos last season, and for the sake of the team's good standings, that's why he continued to coach. But it would be a fool's mistake to keep him coaching. ”

Terry Brown now resents Glenn Rhodes the most.

"Regardless of whether or not he can be relegated this season, Glenn Rod must get out. By the way, Paul, what about that Oxford United?"

Terry Brown suddenly remembered the Oxford United who had embarrassed West Ham so much.

In fact, he was about to forget about Oxford. However, seeing West Ham's results getting worse and worse, I remembered the League Two team Oxford United, which embarrassed West Ham at that time.

"Upgrading is basically no problem. ”

Paul Pitt was stunned, but quickly replied.

"Good grades?"

"Yes. It is already more than 20 points ahead of the third-place Crewe team. As long as it is not a complete defeat in the next games, then there will be no problem with Oxford United's promotion. It should be said that the upgrade of Oxford United is a sure thing. ”

"Then their coach is two years and two steps. ”

"Yes. ”

Terry Brown couldn't help but light a cigarette again, thought for a moment and said, "Paul, get in touch with the coach of Oxford United privately." Glenn Rhodes is a big liar and must not stay. However, you must be careful not to show a little rumor, and it will not affect the current relegation battle. ”

"What do you mean by Mr. President......"

"It's just to get in touch first. Two steps in two years, which is not an average good result. I remember you said in your previous report to me that he has a set of young players and that it would be more suitable for us at West Ham. Ask him what he means if he wants to join forces with our club. Once we are relegated this season, we also need a coach like that to help us get promoted. ”

"Yes. ”

…………

"Chen Ping, now is the time to make a choice. ”

Two steps in two years.

Chen Ping's name is getting louder and louder in the circle, especially as Oxford United's performance this season has become stronger and stronger. Chen Ping slowly received a lot of invitations.

Of course, there aren't really many big clubs.

But compared to Oxford United, they are already quite a great team.

"These, these are all forgotten, there is no future for development. ”

"Chen Ping, what do you think of West Ham? But they haven't been in a good situation lately, and I don't know if they can be relegated this season. Of the clubs that invite you right now, West Ham are the best. However, although West Ham is strong now, once they are relegated, many good players will not be able to keep them. Although relegated teams sometimes seem to be strong, there are also many relegated teams that are difficult to re-promote after a few years as long as they are relegated. ”

Xu Hongtao is not only a collaborator with Chen Ping, but also Chen Ping's agent.

has always been helping Chen Ping as a staff officer.

The clubs that are interested in Chen Ping now are West Ham, who have the highest level and the best historical results. Of course, West Ham is the strongest. However, Xu Hongtao is very worried about West Ham's results.

It's almost March, and West Ham's results are a little better, but only a little better than before. Two wins and three death-defying losses in the last five rounds have resulted in six points. Compared to the previous consecutive defeats, there are still two victories, which is already remarkable. But for the precarious situation in West Ham at the moment, it is of no use at all.

Downgrading seems inevitable.

"Downgrade?"

Chen Ping looked at West Ham's information and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, West Ham is not in danger of relegation, but it will definitely be relegated this season." Next season, West Ham can only play in League One, without any suspense. ”

The grades are too poor.

Chen Ping clearly remembers that when he evaluated this West Ham team, he always said that this was the best relegation team. However, this season's West Ham are nowhere near as good as the all-time scores.

Now that more than 30 rounds of matches have been played in the Premier League, West Ham's score has not exceeded 20 points.

There is no need to think about such a result, and relegation is a sure thing. Chen Ping is thinking about what will happen after West Ham's relegation. West Ham have a lot of quality players and even more young talent.

But once relegated, will the club be able to keep these players?

Chen Ping was not sure.

Chen Ping didn't know much about some things after West Ham's relegation, and only remembered that Carrick stayed and played in League One with West Ham. The rest of the players weren't impressed.

Joe Cole transferred to Chelsea Chen Ping remembers, but I can't remember how to choose such geniuses as Defoe and Glenn Johnson.

"That ......"

"Brother Xu, that's it. I'd like to talk to their top brass if West Ham want to. ”

After watching so many clubs, only West Ham made Chen Ping the most excited. But Chen Ping was still ready to talk to West Ham before.

"Okay, I'll arrange. ”
