Chapter 23 Unspoken Rules (Second Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
At first, Niang thought it was just Dalglish forgetting about the issue of bringing in wide players, but now it could be much more complicated.
This kind of thing he had better talk to Chen Xing, after all, he needs Chen Xing's support and authorization next - he wants to take back the transfer rights in Dalglish's hands. In other words, the transfer is not in Dalglish's business. Coach Dalglish has the right to advise on who the team buys and who to sell, but he does not have the right to decide. The decision is in Niang's hands.
This is normal in Italy and in Spain and Germany, with the exception of England. England has a manager system, but this manager is not a general manager like Niang, but the head coach of the team, who is called "manager" in England, not "coach".
In England's teams, the manager, the manager, is in charge of everything, from the construction of the squad to the tank tops worn by the players in training and the shower heads in the dressing rooms.
Among them, what they value most is the right to transfer.
Because they tend to know their team best, they know what kind of team they want, which players to bring in and which players to sell.
So it's good for the team to let them dominate the transfer.
But there are pros and cons to everything. The head coach's monopoly of power is not only easy to make the team more combative and stable, but it will also lead to the emergence of a dictator. Especially in terms of transfer rights, it is easy to bring some black gold benefits.
Because the transfer of the team is all decided by the manager, he says that whoever he wants to buy, the club will pay for him to buy whoever he wants. As for why you need to buy this person, the head coach has a lot to say, such as this player club needs, this player is a local player, this player is willing to come, this player is cheap, this player has potential, this player ...... Anyway, the reasons are all figured out by people.
The manager can take his own commission from the transfer deal. In practice this is not allowed, but it is very common in English football. Set sail to update the group of ghosts
Generally speaking, the players transfer and benefit from the agent, so the agent will want the players to transfer frequently, and in the continuous transfer, the players are getting more and more valuable and the salary is getting higher and higher. This allows the broker to take their own percentage from it. However, it is not always possible for a player to want to transfer, because he wants to leave his old club and go to another team, which needs the consent of the managers of both teams.
In this way, the agent naturally has to go to the head coach of public relations and promise to give them a percentage commission if the transfer is successful. In order to get the money, the managers will naturally try to push through the deal, and they will use all sorts of means to put pressure on the club to tell the club that his team needs the player very, very much.
Receiving kickbacks is common in many industries in China, and while it is normal, it is not necessarily the right thing to do. Similarly, it is not new for coaches in England to ask for kickbacks outright from their agents, or even from opposing clubs, when selling and bringing in players – is it appropriate for a manager of a professional football club to have a stake in the company of the football agent and deal directly with those agents when buying and selling players? Is it reasonable to deal with managers if the agent they deal with happens to be their relative, or even their son?
This is not nonsense, but a fact that is actually happening in English football. Proactive, the most famous sports agent company in the UK, was once the largest sports agent company in the UK, and its company has a number of head coach shareholders, and many team managers and players themselves own a certain number of shares in this company. Robson, Graeme. Souness, Steve. Koper, Howard. Wilkinson, Kyle. Keegan, Sam. Allardyce ...... Of course, these names are all in 2002, some people are forced by public pressure, have sold their shares, but no one is willing to explain to the public why they own the company's shares, and why many of the transfer transactions between these coaches and clubs are done within this agent company, one shareholder of a player transferred to another shareholder, the agent company takes a cut, and the two shareholders can also make a profit, this is a typical "conflict of interest" 。
Even in China, many people often talk about demands such as "fairness, openness, fairness and transparency". But in English football circles, these things are hidden in dark corners, and no one in the circle wants to be fair, open, fair and transparent for everyone to see. They take it for granted, it's the rules of the game in this circle. The group that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, and the groups that survive by football naturally want to eat football.
With tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of pounds, circulating in the market every season, and professional players, especially in the Premier League, receiving astronomical wages every season, can fans be sure that the decisions they have made on player transactions with the clubs they have supported from generation to generation are in the interests of the fans?
After understanding the stories behind these things, it is not difficult to understand why there are so many inexplicable transfer transactions that no one can understand every summer and winter.
Of course, commissions are not exclusive to English football, but in other countries, the person who makes the profit goes from being a manager to a club's general manager or a head of athletics who specialises in transfers.
Of course, Niang knows the unspoken rules of this circle, and he also knows that when the water is clear, there are no fish. He doesn't care if the manager makes some money when he can, as long as the people they bring are helpful to the team.
Just like when Mijatovic was the manager of Real Madrid, he spent 30 million euros to bring the central defender Pepe from Porto, Pepe was not famous at that time, many people thought that Real Madrid was a Kaizi, and then some people speculated that Real Madrid President Calderón and general manager Mijatovic must have received some kickbacks in this transfer deal, otherwise how could an unknown central defender be sold for 30 million euros? In fact, it is true that the money was collected, but after Pepe's arrival, it added hardness to Real Madrid's defense, and now he is Real Madrid's well-deserved main central defender, Iron Gate ().
In this way, everyone gradually forgot about the affair between Calderon and Mijatovic.
Niang also thinks like this, if Downing can really improve the strength of the domestic team, then it is not impossible to spend 20 million. The problem is that he doesn't think Downing will be of much use when he comes to Liverpool, and the team will have to pay him a hefty salary. Although Downing said that he loves Liverpool very much, it is impossible to expect him to reduce his weekly salary to join the team he loves because of his love.
In that case, what do I spend 20 million to buy him for, is it interesting to be the wronged leader?

Niang told Chen Xing about this.
After hearing this, Chen Xing did not slap the table angrily and scold his mother, but laughed: "Use PS videos as advertisements? Aston Villa really have a heart. I wonder if we should ask our own multimedia department to do this kind of PR as well? For example, Joe. A player like Kerr can be marketed like this...... Definitely more convincing than Downing, haha! ”
After laughing, he said to Niang: "You're right, Downing can't buy it, and we have to gradually take back the transfer rights." Now that more and more English clubs are putting their general managers in charge of transfers, the 'King' must also recognise this trend, and his old ways are no longer playing. He could have suggested, but he said it didn't count. ”
With Chen Xing's support, it was time for Niang to do the way of nature - he certainly wouldn't run directly to Dalglish and say to him, "Hey, old fellow! From now on, we're going to take back the transfer power from your hands! In the future, you will be in charge of the transfer of this piece, if you tell me like that, I will decide whether to buy it or not! ”
It's too good to do this, he's not a person with zero emotional intelligence ().
There are many ways to make the way of Dalglish no longer able to do the master, so it is better to have a great opportunity in front of him now!

“…… Kenny. Dalglish has once again announced Liverpool's interest in Downing, who he believes is a very talented player who will become a new legend at Anfield! ”
'Liverpool's 'King' wants to bring Downing to Anfield and the Aston Villa player is currently in the midst of transfer rumours...... Liverpool have spent a lot of money this summer to bring in high school striker Chen Yingxing, who is good at heading, and obviously Dalglish wants to make the most of the hero's advantage in heading, so he needs a good wide player......"
Downing himself was flattered by Liverpool's interest in him, saying that he had been a Liverpool fan since he was a child, but he did not say that he would definitely move to Liverpool, and he still had a contract with Aston Villa ......
In the past two days, many English media have been focusing on Liverpool manager Kenny. News of Dalglish's pursuit of Downing. Downing was really stunning when he debuted at Middlesbrough, and was considered by the English media to be England's future star and England's wide player for the next decade. But considering that the English media has always been fond of using exaggerated and exaggerated rhetorical hands, Downing's level of authenticity is really debatable......
How did Dalglish respond to such transfer rumours?
'Yes, I'm interested in Downing, he's a great player. I hope he can join Liverpool. Yes, we have heroes now, we need a wide player who can break through and pass the ball, and Downing is the best person in my mind......"
Niang looked at these statements in the newspaper and laughed.
Is this a use of the media to put pressure on me?
This trick is neither new nor technical.
