"Mr. Nepom, I wonder why your club would want to invite me to be your club's head coach."

Dick immediately got straight to the point after sitting down: "I also have a good understanding of your club's current economic situation, the German stock market is bearish, your club's shares have fallen all the way, and a lot of the previous gains in the stock market have been spent, right?" If the financial gains are not balanced in the future, then the stock will only fall faster, and worse still, the assets of Dortmund FC are not very large, and the Westpha-Lun Stadium has been mortgaged, right? This allows your club to increase the rental cost of the stadium by more than 20 million euros per year...... Everybody knows that I, Dick, is a manager who likes to spend money and spend money to win championships, and it doesn't seem to be a manager who can get the most out of it when the funds are not enough, and what your club needs now is a manager who can play economically, not to invite me. ”

Listening quietly to Dick's words, Nebom nodded, then sighed.

"Mr. Dick, I think you already knew our team well before you decided to come to the negotiations." Nepom said sincerely: "I studied economics, and my view is that if you want to get more money, you have to invest more and take some risks. In the nineties, we gained a lot because of this risky action. So after catching my breath, I went on with the adventure. Including listing fundraising, mortgage of the stadium, purchase of players...... That gave us the league title last season. However, the income obtained is not enough to compensate for the large amount of investment, and we have indeed reached a very dangerous point now, if there is no accident, in a year or two, we may be liquidated! We will have a long period of darkness in coming! It's because of my investment mistakes, but until then, we'll be able to hold on for a while. It's not like we've had darkness before, after the glory of the nineties, we've sunk for a few years, and now, even if we have a dark period, we're going to have to get some accolades that the fans will be able to remember for years before then! One league title is definitely not enough, we need more titles! So, we thought of inviting you, you amazing manager, to come and give us some last-minute accolades! ”

Dick looked at Nepom and nodded slightly.

Before coming to Dortmund, he knew enough about Dortmund, so after understanding Dortmund's current situation, he began to wonder why Dortmund chose him, because as long as a reasonable person knows that what Dortmund needs next is to shrink money, reduce expenses, reduce debt, and gradually make the team's economic situation better, so that the club can survive better.

Historically, a year or two later, Borussia Dortmund's new president, Watzke, did just that - he used the next ten years of ticket revenue to get a loan, and then used the vast majority of this loan to redeem more than half of the ownership of the Westfa-Lun Stadium, so that the next year spent on stadium rent by a large part, sold almost all the high-paid players, and Loyalists like Ricken have been only receiving a basic salary of 500,000 euros a year at the club, focusing on youth training, developing players and then making profits, and increasing sponsors...... What's more, in this case, they did not raise the price of tickets, did not pass on the club's losses to the fans, and the fans also reciprocated, including standing tickets for each game, the Westpha-Lun Stadium was able to accommodate 81,000 people, and in the following seasons, their average attendance was never lower than 77,000, and in one season it was an astonishing 100%! It is precisely because of such unity that Dortmund quickly came out of the shadows, regained its previous glory, won two consecutive Bundesliga championships, and rose again!

Dick is very familiar with the history of Dortmund's rise, but although he is moved by the united Dortmund, he does not think that it is the right thing for Dortmund to ask him to coach now - at least from the ability that Dick has shown before, he is not the right manager for Dortmund now......

And at this time, after hearing Nepum's words, he began to understand why Dortmund would want to invite himself to coach - this is the so-called addiction to death, Nepsom, as a doctor of economics, naturally calculated what kind of situation Dortmund will encounter in the next year or two, he has no way to keep Dortmund from going bankrupt, so he chose Dick, just to make Dortmund fans happier before ushering in the dark period!

This also explains why Zolke, as the director of football at Borussia Dortmund, is so enthusiastic about coaching Dortmund, this is not the time to fight for power, in a sinking ship, what to do now is to save as many people as possible before the sinking of the ship, instead of chattering for command!

"So, we invited you to be the head coach of Borussia Dortmund. We know your habits and characteristics, and we know that you have earned a lot of money at Atletico before. We don't have a lot of money, but we can give out bonuses based on results, as we did before! At the same time, we will also give you the greatest power and support in terms of recruitment...... Although you can't give too much transfer money, at least in the new season, you have 30 million euros to use for reinforcements, and at the same time, all the transfer funds are at your disposal, all we want is to be able to win some titles that will satisfy Dortmund fans! ”

Nepsom's words can be described as a bloody investment, Dortmund is now in financial difficulties, but tens of millions can still be taken out, this is completely overdrafted investment, plus giving Dick enough and full transfer power, I believe that with such a level of trust, Dick is likely to achieve enough honors in the next league and Champions Cup to satisfy Dortmund fans!

Dick took a deep breath, he felt Nepom's sincerity, and at the same time, a bold thought began to arise in his heart.

"Mr. Nepom, I understand what you mean now...... I have to say that I am very excited about this invitation, but I hope that one day I will be able to think about it. It's just one day, because I'm in a hurry right now, and if I want to coach the team, ...... now It's already late. Dick said to Nepsom.

Nepom nodded: "It's a normal idea, after all, it's very difficult to make such a decision...... Don't be in such a hurry, is two days enough? ”

"No, one day is enough." Dick laughed: "I appreciate the discipline and vigor of the Germans, so I need to show this in order to live well in Germany." ”

Dick then shook Nepsom's hand, nodded to Mayer, and then turned to leave the room.

"What do you think? Miles? Nebom turned to Mayer and asked.

"This is a guy with a lot of ideas...... If he agrees to be our manager, then he will do well. Mayer muttered: "Let's hope he can be a part of us, so that at least, we can bring more light to Dortmund before bankruptcy comes!" ”

***********************************************

"Such conditions? It seems that Dortmund really wants to get something before they go bankrupt. ”

After hearing Dick's words, Marriner replied excitedly: "At least for now, their sincerity is very sufficient, and because they are going bankrupt, they will happily agree to give you full transfer power and control of the team...... It's a rare thing. Truth be told, Dick, if you hadn't asked for that power when you were fighting fires, and you kept it in the future, you wouldn't have had that much say in the club...... No manager in the whole of Spain has such authority. To put it mildly, it may make you feel unhappy, it is normal for Little Hill to take your rights, you were a special case before, a special case that is difficult to appear. ”

"That's right, I admit it, so I'm thankful Mr. President, for that very much." Dick nodded.

"But you have to know that even if your results in those two years were so good, I'm afraid it would be difficult for a top team to be willing to give you such power, and the power structure of the big clubs is very complicated, and it affects the whole body. Giving you such power will definitely affect the interests of other people, before Little Hill was pressed by Mr. Chairman so he didn't dare to move, and as soon as Mr. Chairman died, he wanted to take back such power, and it was the same in other clubs. Marriner continued.

"That's right, you're right, that's why after I resigned, few giants came to me, give me such power, any club will have concerns, and my foundation is still weak, two league titles and a Champions Cup championship, it doesn't seem to prove that I have been given such power, I will definitely be able to win the championship." Dick smiled, then replied.

"You know that very well...... "Marina muttered, and then said, "So now is a great opportunity, if you can continue to be successful with this kind of power, then the success of two clubs in a row will no longer be considered accidental, and then you will be given the corresponding power even if you go to other clubs, especially those giants who are going crazy in pursuit of glory, and they will be willing to pay any price to hire you as a manager!" So I think it's a great opportunity, and if you can grasp it, in a year or two, your prestige and fame will usher in a leap! ”

"You have faith in me." Dick laughed and said a joke.

"If I don't have confidence, I will give up coaching at Atletico and come to Germany with you?" Marriner said angrily.

Dick laughed, then shook his head: "I'm really interested in this job, but if I can only win the championship by spending money on the team's overdraft, then don't I seem very incompetent?" If I want to coach this team, I want to bring more to this team! ”

Marriner was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Dick meant now, but Dick closed his mouth and smiled.

"I need to think about it and plan for it tonight...... You should also rest early, and let Ivan and them not drink too much...... Because if the negotiations are finalised, they need to discuss the details with Borussia Dortmund immediately, understand? Dick didn't explain, but waved his hand, and Marina didn't talk any more nonsense, but nodded and left Dick's room.
