Honestly, Bates didn't like his manager, even though he got the team back into the Championship in just two years.

Although this speed surprised me very much, and it also allowed the team to get a high attendance rate that had not been seen for a long time, and some games even had a hard time getting a ticket!

But he still doesn't like the other party, because Michu only seems to have football in his eyes.

In fact, in the final analysis, he is just a businessman, and it is his essence to chase profits. So even though he was once the owner of Chelsea, Bates didn't feel that he was at the helm of Leeds United for any reason the fans should boo him.

There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in the mall, and in the eyes of Bates, these fans are really ridiculous, Chelsea are mortal enemies?

Look at where Chelsea are in the Premier League right now, and then look at where Leeds are located! If an opponent who can't even play a game in a season can be called a mortal enemy, then Bates thinks there is nothing more comical than that, the Ruhr derby, the north London Gunners and Tottenham are the face of mortal enemies!

But when it comes to league standings, Bates feels that his investment is really bad, and it wasn't so bad when he owned Chelsea, which looks like a young janissary.

With poor training facilities, sluggish attendance, and dismal league results, Bates sometimes looks at the pile of old equipment and often thinks: what kind of madness did he have to choose to buy this club in the first place, which is simply an insult to his position in the business world!

Even though he has paid a lot of money for the operation of the team, the coach of the team, Michu, is still staring at what he wants this and that, and look at what he has done since he took office! I spent 1 million euros on myself during the winter break, and then I spent another 2 million before the end of this summer, and I really thought I was an ATM!

However, although he has been complaining that the head coach of this team is a vampire, he has to admit that since Michu took over, the club's results have been growing steadily, and the improvement in results has also made the attendance of Elland Road on match days increase significantly, not counting the sales of the team's peripheral products!

Leeds is a big city, which is the main reason why I decided to accept this team in the first place.

And as the fans who used to hate them return to the stadium to watch the game, it will be just around the corner to raise the price of their tickets again!

However, although Michu spent a lot of his own money, but the money was really not wasted and all the immediate combat power of the team, the addition of Royce and Muller made the team's future bright, and the use of the team's youth players also shows that the team's hematopoietic ability is still strong, so in Bates's opinion, Michu can only be regarded as a credit and a demerit! Of course, this "pass" is mainly due to the reason of spending too much.

However, the thick pile of reports on the desk made the dislike of Mi Chu explode again, and "money, money, money" came to ask for money again!

As long as you spend money to invest in the team, you will always hesitate, after all, your wallet is not a money printing machine, you must know how many people can do it with a local tyrant like Moratti.

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Bates still dialed the phone and called the guy who was in charge of the company's previous winter transfer, and after listening to a few words of advice, the other party expressed his doubts, "Boss, what does it mean to do what you can?" Are we going all in on these players? ”

Bates was also a little dizzy, "Keep the price down as much as possible, don't be a big deal, and you can introduce it when I think the price is reasonable"

"What if someone competes? In this case, there may be a certain degree of premium" In the face of the other party's question, Bates was also silent, if according to Michu, he bought these players at this time, it can definitely be regarded as a bottom-buying of high-quality resources!

But as a person who has been in the circle for many years, Bates also understands that there is always a risk in buying and selling players. What if these players don't adapt to the rhythm of the Championship, if these people have a major injury that affects their form, there are too many of them, you know, there are so many such examples, and Bates doesn't want to be wronged

In the face of these risks, you can easily find 10,000 reasons to make a decision not to buy people, but there is only one refutation of this decision, that is, the survival of the team must depend on the team's results! Unless you can have a very strong academy, you have to go to the transfer market a lot!

But every time he sees the excellent performance of Reus and Muller at home, Bates has to sigh that the two are simply the two thighs of the team, as long as these people play well, Bates is still confident that he can receive a high reward.

The Championship is not as good as League One, and fans will buy tickets to watch the game if the results improve.

Therefore, if the price of the player is very reasonable and the player plays well, then it is very likely that he will recover the cost and get a good return!

You must know that even if you increase the ticket price, you will be able to guarantee the attendance of the stadium. And the team's outstanding results will inevitably lead to the commercial development of the team, so this investment Bates thinks it is still very cost-effective.

"Try to sign players within the acceptable low price range of the other side, but don't let competitors take advantage of the loopholes, if these players are really that strong, this negotiation will not be easy" Bates finally made the arrangement.

"I see, boss, I'll report to you all the real-time situations in a timely manner."

Although he is not Berlusconi's tyrant, Bates thinks that he is like the "bicycle maniac" Galliani in the bargaining world.

The reason why Bates chose to trust the young man in front of him is because he believes that he is the best to understand his idea of doing big things with little money, after all, the team's other expenses in addition to buying people are also essential, and Leeds United's recent ticket revenue has increased, but this is only a drop in the bucket for Leeds United to achieve the goal of breaking even, and even to say that the profit is only a drop in the bucket. And how can a guy like Michu understand this kind of difficulty of his own,

However, with the start of the transfer operation, Bates also began to understand the situation by phone from time to time to facilitate control, and it is not his own style to come from the other party.

And since he agreed to Michu's request, this annoying fellow has rarely appeared, which cannot but be a happy thing for Bates.

And as things stand, it's clear that these clubs don't feel like their players are anything great, which allows them to make offers more calmly, and after further contact between the two teams, the negotiations are progressing very well.

Romania's big man team has the lowest asking price, which is ridiculously low, but despite that, Bates really doesn't understand what the team wants a basketball player to do.

But the other two are struggling in negotiations, which also focus on defining a player's value.

During the negotiations, Bates was afraid that Michu would look away, and also specially asked the team including assistant coach Poyet and scout Bob, and after learning that Michu did not have a nerve, Bates's negotiation team finally began to launch an all-out sprint to the summer recruitment target!
