Chapter 180: The Consequences of Failed Negotiations
The Adidas middle management who came to negotiate with Notts County was assigned by the upper echelons, however, he did not fully grasp the intentions of the upper echelons.
In other words, the intentions of the upper echelons are clear, but in the face of Notts County's feeling good about himself, he chooses an image of a boss who makes himself look like he can give people a job.
Shouldn't Adidas ask you to sign with a League One team, shouldn't you be grateful to Dade and then bow down and accept it!
When the negotiations collapsed, he didn't particularly care, in his heart, Notts County was destined to come back and kneel and lick, after all, Adidas is not comparable to those small brands!
But after waiting for a few days, he didn't wait for an apology from Notts County, but he waited for a piece of news that surprised him immensely.
Notts County and Nike have signed!
This time it was his turn to be dumbfounded, you know, signing Notts County is a task ordered by the leader, and it is a task that must be completed.
The company gave him enough generous conditions, and it was completely his own home field that made it what it is now.
How can this be explained to the company?
Say that Nike inserts a cylinder horizontally, and the conditions are higher than ours?
The top leadership is not stupid either, now that the contract between Notts County and Nike has been made public, there are no good conditions offered by Adidas at all, who will believe his nonsense!
Nima, can you keep your job?
He really doesn't know!
But what if you're dumbfounded now?
If Notts County hadn't signed a contract with Nike at this time, then he could hurry up and redeem it, but since he had signed a contract, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say that for his own work, let Notts County tear up the contract with Nike!
A few days later, the mid-level manager of Adidas was not fired, because Adidas was not too sure if the big bet on Notts County would really pay off handsomely, and since it was not signed, it would be okay.
Then, when Notts County really became a European giant a few years later, and Nike took advantage of this shareholder wind to expand rapidly one after another, this middle manager was really stupid, not only swept away by the angry Adidas, but also used his influence to sentence him to death, the former executive of Adidas has been reduced to the point where he can't find a job.
Of course, that's an afterthought.

The October season is over, but Notts County don't have much time to rest because there are really plenty of games throughout November.
The first game was a big test of Notts County's strength - away to Celtic.
Many people may think that Notts County is considered a sign when they meet a Scottish team, but David knows that this is absolutely Nima.
Fulham and Chelsea are two Premier League teams in the UEFA Cup this season, and neither of these two teams can reach the final, not even the semi-finals and quarter-finals, while Celtic can reach the final, you can imagine the strength of the other side.
It was definitely not an easy game in the eyes of others.
In the current Celtic team, there are several acquaintances of David.
First of all, the current coach of Celtic is the Premier League coach of David's previous life - Martin O'Neal.
The Premier League manager, who later coached Villa and Sunderland, is now thriving at Celtic, winning the Treble of the Scottish Premier League, Scottish League Cup and Scottish FA Cup in his first year in charge, helping Celtic break Rangers' 13-year monopoly on the Premier League.
Of course, now that we have Notts County, it's hard to say whether the peak performance that led them to the League Cup final this season will still exist.
Martin O'Neill, a Northern Irishman, is definitely one of the least favorite figures for Notts County fans, and David didn't know about the entanglement between the two sides at first, but then it dawned on him after being reminded by the club's staff.
It turns out that Martin O'Neill played for Nottingham Forest when he was a player, and he was one of the players who dominated Europe and won the Champions League in a row.
No wonder Nottingham Forest chairman Dogetty has started jumping up and down in solidarity with Celtic in recent days, it turns out that it is not only because he can't see the sworn enemies in the same city, but also because there is such a layer of relationship.
In addition to coach Martin O'Neal, the Celtic team really has a few fierce players that even David covets, with these fierce players, coupled with the Scottish international-level squad, it is really not luck to dominate the domestic league and reach the final of the League Cup.
Larsson, Sweden's super goalscorer, a striker who scored 30+ goals in a season, and the absolute hero of Barcelona's dream two to win the Champions League trophy in the future, is now the main striker of Celtic.
This guy is definitely the top scorer in Europe, although he has not played for a few seasons in his entire career, but anyone who underestimates him must pay a terrible price in the end.
Petrov, who later captained Villa in the Premier League, did not make it to the top of the list of Bulgarian stars, but what happened later was known to the whole world of football.
He developed acute leukemia.
Later, David didn't pay attention to this unlucky guy, but considering the level of medical development in his previous life, this disease should not be fatal!
In addition to the above two, Celtic also have a good goalscorer in their squad, former Chelsea striker Sutton.
This line of attack, even if it is placed in the Premier League, is enough to be envied.
So such a tough Celtic team is definitely not easy to defeat.
For Notts County, the game is played on the road, and it will be even more difficult to get the desired result.
David was cautious, Loew was cautious, but the players' spirits weren't as focused.
Last season's League Cup won the Cup, which has allowed the players to accumulate enough confidence, and this season is another unbeatable in League One, the players have long since stopped treating the team as a League One team, their hearts are on the Premier League, in Europe.
The easy beating of the Bulgarian champion in the first round of the League Cup made the players have blind confidence: it turns out that the European competition is not so terrible, and the strength of the opponent is not very good!
Look again at the opponent of this game, Scottish Celtic.
Although the Celts can dominate Scotland, they are an egg when it comes to Europe!
You don't need to talk nonsense in this game, just win it and it's over!
It's so domineering! (To be continued.) )
