Chapter 9: New Coaches

Paul Goddard was not to blame for not leading the team to relegation, after all, he was only the director of the youth team, and when the season was over, he was back in the youth team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the top of the Hammer Gang, at this time, there was an earthquake-like change, first the chairman Magnussen resigned, and announced that he would be the second richest man in his hands, Gudmunsen. After that, Gudmundsen Scientific, who had just become the team's largest shareholder, held a board meeting and successfully became the new helm of the Hammers, and then Gudmundsen announced a £3ooo million investment to rebuild the team.

In an interview, the Icelandic tycoon said: "We will do everything we can to build a solid foundation for West Ham's vision, a great club with a great history, a great tradition and great fans." My task is to plan for the future and support the manager and the team on the pitch. ”

After hearing the news, the exhausted Hammers fans had some dissatisfaction with the Icelandic tycoon, you said you want to support the team's manager, but where is the team's manager!? Could it be Redknapp, the old handsome man who is still recuperating at home!?

June 15 has indeed become a memorable day for Paul, because it was on this day that the relegated West Ham United held a press conference with a single theme: to announce their new head coach to everyone.

The press conference was scheduled for 11 a.m., and Paul arrived at 1o o'clock, and Gudmundson invited him into a room next to the press conference, where the club's staff and bodyguards had temporarily turned the small room into a clean place.

Personally brought a cup of coffee to Paul, Gudmundson looked at Paul and smiled kindly: "Son, your new image is very good, very suitable for your status as a head coach!" However, there is one thing, if you know, I hope you don't get too angry. ”

Kindness!? Paul's brow furrowed, and he had a bad feeling that something bad had happened to him!

He took a sip of his coffee and took two more deep breaths before he said, "Daddy, you can say it." ”

Gudmundsen nodded: "Son, Joe Cole has officially made a transfer request to the team, and.................. We have already received offers from other teams. ”

Really! Paul calmly asked, "Who is the buyer?" ”

"Chelsea!" Gudmundsen sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Sun didn't lie, Joe Cole and Chelsea really had contact, and even less than an hour after Chelsea's offer came, Joe Cole's agent submitted a transfer request to the team. ”

"Alas!" Paul sighed and shook his head helplessly, it seems that everything is the same as in his previous life, Joe Cole will eventually go to Chelsea.................. Wait, Joe Cole, Duff, Geremi, Makelele and others are the first stars to transfer after Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea, and now Chelsea has not yet announced that it has been acquired? Among them..................

Paul unconsciously waved his right hand, finally grasping the thought in his mind: "How much did they offer?" ”

"Four million............ Pound sterling! Gudmundson laughed: "The price is still very reasonable, Jork is just a promising player and he still needs to prove himself." ”

The price is very reasonable! Paul also knows that the current English league has not yet set off a boom in overseas investment, and Gudmondson has taken over the Hammers, which is not a big investment, but Chelsea is different, they are going to become a mob from this summer, and four million want to take Joe Cole!?

"Huh............ Hehe............" Paul suddenly laughed, because he was not angry, and he also thought clearly, not just a Joe Cole, like the current midfielder Carrick in the team, the youngster Glenn Johnson in the right-back position, they are all likely to leave, in his memory, Glenn Johnson will eventually go to Chelsea, Carrick will eventually go to Manchester United, these promising players are unlikely to be willing to play in the second division of England. Moreover, the current West Ham United not only has to play in League One, but with the team's financial budget next year, it is impossible to offer high-salary contracts to its players, so naturally it will not be able to retain good players. Instead of stiffening with all aspects, it is better to think about how to make a profit from it! At the very least, if Chelsea really want Joe Cole, it shouldn't be just £4 million!

"Daddy, are we short of money now? Chelsea even made such an offer, they wanted to take advantage of the fire, reject their offer, and double the price back! It's only four million ............ Hmph, really, our Hammer Gang hasn't seen any money? ”

Gudmundson looked at Paul in front of him blankly, he couldn't imagine how this young man, who had been indulgent two days ago, changed his image, as if his whole person had changed, and he actually gave him a very ............ Very cunning feeling!

That's right, it's cunning!

As he walked to the press conference with Paul, Gudmundson was still turning his head to look at the young people around him from time to time, and he was still wondering if he was crazy to give Joe Cole a price tag of 8oo million pounds.

There's no mistake that Jork has a big future, and the talent he shows and the skill he has all predicts that he will become a star.

West Ham is indeed poor, this is also true, don't look at Gudmundson just injected 3ooo million pounds into the team, but that money is just a drop in the bucket for the current Hammers, the team has to run, the debts in the bank have to be paid, the stadium has to be expanded, and it has to spend money everywhere!

Chelsea's finances are a bit stronger than West Ham's, but only a little stronger, so how could they possibly pay £8oo0,000 for a young Joe Cole!? At this time, Gudmundsen had not received any news that Russian tycoon Abu was about to take over at Chelsea, otherwise he would not have thought so.

"Click, click............" Seeing Paul and Gudmundson appear, the reporters at the press conference took a few photos of the two, they didn't know what today's press conference was for, maybe there was something new about the second richest man who had just injected capital into West Ham, but who was this young man who looked like he was in his twenties? Is it a new West Ham signing?
