"Bang bang bang. ”

There was a knock on the door.

Nigel Pearson opened the door and it wasn't Baker who came in, it was Newcastle Under-19 head coach Kenny Washington. He had just received a call from Nigel Pearson asking him to come over, and he had to hand over the training to the assistant coach and come himself.

"What please?" asked Kenny Washington. He asked Nigel Pearson. The latter shrugged and did not speak. The youth manager turned his attention to the first-team manager.

"We got a call from Yang's agent. ”

"What is he calling for? or is he talking about a new contract?" said Kenny Washington, who already knew from Nigel Pearson that Yang Fan's agent was helping him find a new contract, and Kenny Washington was not unhappy with this, the player table was excellent, and it was natural for him to want more salary, and Kenny Washington also knew that Yang Fan's current salary of 500 pounds a week was indeed a bit too low.

'No, it's about loan, and he's asking the club to take his players out on loan. "This time it was Nigel Pearson who spoke.

"Uh-" Kenny Washington didn't react at once, "if I heard me right, you're talking about-Lend-Lease?"

"That's right, it's a loan. Rod nodded.

"Why?" Kenny Washington was a little annoyed, "No, I'm going to talk to that kid, what does he think, it's good at Newcastle, why go out on loan, he must have been egged on by that damn agent!

'He wants to play in the first team. Rod said.

"It's okay in Newcastle. Don't you want to promote him to the first team?" Kenny Washington asked Rhodes.

'Yes, I was going to try to move him to the first team, but the problem was that he couldn't play for the first team. Rod smiled wryly.

"Why? What does that mean, what does it mean to be ineligible to play for the first team?" Kenny Washington didn't understand.

"Labor certification!" replied Nigel Pearson, with an ugly face, "that kid doesn't have a labor certification, and there's no way he's going to get that damn labor certification anytime soon." ”

Hearing Nigel Pearson say this, Kenny Washington, who was still a little angry and angry, stopped talking and sighed, and the anger followed this sigh, as if the balloon had been punctured with a hole, snorted and dispersed.

Labor Certification! Hell, this goddamn labor certification!

"So—"

"You don't have to blame the kid, in fact, you have to admit that he doesn't want to deal with that kind of situation for that kid. Nigel Pearson knew Kenny Washington's affection for Yang Fan, and his old friend cultivated the child and saw it as a continuation of his career. Now that I suddenly heard that the boy had asked to lend him out, I must have felt very uncomfortable.

"I know. Kenny Washington nodded, just as Nigel Pearson said, for Yang Fan, choosing to ask to be loaned out at this time was also a helpless move. If possible, Yang Fan's first choice is of course to stay in Newcastle, and he is about to be promoted to the first team, the coach appreciates, it is said that Mr. Chairman also appreciates, and it is a relatively familiar environment, the first team will not have too much exclusion for the little guys of the youth team, but will be more enthusiastic to help, what a good, what a bright future.

But now, because of the damn labor certification, the little guy has to pack his bags again, go to a strange place, start over, and work hard in an even stranger environment.

"Where did he ask to be on loan?" asked Kenny Washington.

Rod shrugged, and Nigel Pearson shook his head, they really didn't know.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and a staff member came in and handed over a fax, "Here's a fax." ”

"Give it to me. Nigel Pearson took the fax, his face brightened, looked at the other two, and said, "Kenny, the answer to your question is here—"

"Which team?" asked Kenny Washington and Rhodes at the same time.

"A team in Germany, Wolfsburg. Nigel Pearson said.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken—" Kenny Washington looked at Nigel Pearson with a look of surprise and said, "It's a Bundesliga team." ”

"That's right, the Bundesliga team. It's an old team. It was Rhodes who answered him. He was also a little surprised, Rod now knows the origin of Yang Fan's German agent, he did think that Michael Beck might run Yang Fan to play in Germany, but, in his mind, it should be the most likely Bundesliga team, but he didn't expect it to be a Bundesliga team, and it is a relatively well-known old team.

Now it seems that the energy of the German agent is not small.

'It's not easy for a young man to play in a team like this. Nigel Pearson said that a young man who joined an unfamiliar team in the middle of the game, whether it was the language or the style of the league, was completely different from what he had been exposed to before, it had to be said that this young man will face great challenges and difficulties.

Kenny Washington frowned and was silent, and it was clear that he was aware of it as well. I'm worried about Yang Fan.

"Well, if you can really go to Wolfsburg, it will be a better workout for that kid. Originally, if the young man could come to the first team and help him improve the team's offensive ability, he would naturally care more, but the current situation is that this young man will not be able to attack Newcastle in the short term, and his eagerness will naturally fade a lot. Let's not talk about the player's performance after the loan, it's hard to say, even if Yang Fan is excellent, he returned to Newcastle a year or two later, to put it mildly, it was not him who sat in the position of the head coach of the Newcastle team at that time, it was not necessarily.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Mr. Rhodes, a gentleman named Michael Baker has come to visit, and he said he had made an appointment with you. The voice of the doorman.

"Well, there is such a thing. Let him in. Rod said, and he hung up.

Minutes later, Yang Fan's agent, Michael Baker, showed up in Newcastle's first-team manager Rod's office.

Michael Baker and Newcastle's three coaches had a brief exchange of pleasantries before talking.

The two sides quickly reached a consensus.

Newcastle have agreed to send Yang Fan out on loan, and he can be loaned to Wolfsburg.

Even, with the efforts of Michael Baker, Newcastle agreed not to charge any loan fees, and Wolfsburg only needs to bear Yang Fan's salary and bonuses and other income requirements during the loan period.

In fact, the reason why Newcastle agreed is also because they also know that for a newcomer in football like Yang Fan, the rent would not be much, not to mention that Yang Fan is just a young man in the youth team, to put it mildly, Wolfsburg did not charge Newcastle 'help you cultivate young people'.

So far, the talks between the two sides have been pleasant and harmonious.

Next, it comes to an important link.

That's Yang Fan's contract problem.

Both Michael Baker and Newcastle have admitted that before going out on loan, they must renew Yang Fan's contract and sign a new contract, especially Newcastle, they naturally can't watch Yang Fan's contract expire and leave on a free transfer after ten months.

However, the crux of the matter is that the content of the new contract lies in Yang Fan's salary requirements. As for the £20,000-a-week salary that Baker proposed at the first meeting, it is certainly impossible!

To the surprise of the three of Newcastle, this time, Michael Baker did not open his mouth, but directly cut the salary request from 20,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds!

Although a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds is a lot, you must know that Andy Carroll, the number one star of the youth team, only got a new contract of 8,000 pounds just over a month ago. However, considering the price of 20,000 pounds proposed by Baker at the beginning, and Baker's tough attitude at that time, he was able to take the initiative to directly reduce the salary request from 20,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds this time, which really surprised Newcastle.

Of course, even if it was a £10,000 reduction all at once, Newcastle were not satisfied, and they wanted to keep the price down.

"Ten thousand pounds is still too much, it's impossible for [we] to (agree). "Nigel Pearson said he was the main 'negotiator' today. Yang Fan is going out on loan, and Rod's enthusiasm for Yang Fan has decreased a lot, and he will naturally not be a 'negotiator' for the loan and renewal of a youth team player.

"£10,000 is my bottom line. Baker sneered, "I was able to reduce my initiative from 20,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds, and I believe that I can already show my sincerity." ”

Andy Carroll is the highest salary in the youth team, and it's just £8,000. Kenny Washington said.

"As you said, it's the youth team, and my players can already be considered first-team players. Baker said.

"You can't count it like that. Nigel Pearson said.

"Actually, after careful calculation, I don't think the £10,000-a-week wage I'm asking for is excessive. Michael Baker took a sip of his coffee and said, "Young is going to Wolfsburg on loan, his salary during the loan period is borne by Wolfsburg, and if he comes back from his loan, I don't think the £10,000 salary will satisfy my players, maybe at that time, we will have to meet again to discuss a new contract." ”

With that, Michael Baker finished the coffee in his cup and got up to pour himself a cup of coffee.

The other three ignored the man's actions and instead discussed on the sidelines. I have to say that Michael Baker's words gave them a sense of identity.

Yang Fan will definitely be loaned out, and the salary will naturally be borne by the team on the loan, and the impact of how much money he gets is really not too big.

And, as Michael Baker said, Yang Fan has walked around in the Bundesliga, as long as the table is not too bad, after coming back, let's not talk about whether there will be a salary increase, at least it must be worth a weekly salary of 10,000 yuan.

Three people combined, so it seems that the weekly salary of 10,000 pounds is a bit excessive, but it is not unacceptable.

Michael Baker, who was sipping coffee and watching from the sidelines, was smug that his tactics had succeeded, and the £10,000-a-week salary seemed to be fine.
