Although it is a League Cup, Burnley is completely like a Champions Cup winner. The city of Burnley even ran out of liquor for a while in the afternoon, with fans celebrating from morning to evening. I don't know how many more drunkards there were in Burnley that day.
With Burnley's League Cup triumph, Burnley's reputation in English football is also rising. Not only the local media in Burnley, but also other domestic media have taken it very seriously. There is a steady stream of journalists who want to cover Burnley FC.
"Keller, you see if George is a Maxima. In just three years, we haven't won a championship in 30 years. Barry Kilby stood in front of the window and watched the training ground stretch out of the way.
Since Burnley won the Carabao Cup, there has been an increase in the number of fans watching Burnley train. Of course, there are a lot of sneaky people among them, most of whom are scouts sent by other clubs.
There are now not many doubts about Burnley's promotion to the Premier League, plus they have reached the League Cup final and FA Cup final in succession. Now it was another win over the mighty Chelsea to reach the Carabao Cup final. As a result, the young players in Burnley's squad are starting to be noticed, and there are gradually more scouts at major clubs on the training ground.
There are scouts from Premier League clubs, as well as scouts from some foreign clubs.
But Burnley didn't ban these people from entering, and the Burnley training ground couldn't completely ban them anyway. In League One, they are poached by Premier League or foreign clubs, and Burnley has little room to fight back.
However, now that Burnley are in the Premier League, George is still confident of retaining the key players in the squad.
"Barry, did you discover George's talent when you chose George?" Now all Burnley fans are praising Kilby for his vision and finding George after relegation.
Even the Burnley board of directors repeatedly praised Kilby's choice of George as the wisest choice, and the improvement in his performance allowed Kilby to consolidate his position on the Burnley board of directors in one fell swoop.
"No, it's not me. I've always been a member of the Burnley board, but George was just an ordinary coach at the time, and I had nothing to do with it, so how could I know what he was capable of? What I said to George before didn't add up to a few words. Barry Kilby smiled and shook his head.
'I had just taken over at Burnley and wanted to replace Jimmy. At the time, Burnley's board of directors had nominated Thompson, and I asked Jimmy privately who would replace him at the helm. ”
"You asked Jimmy personally?" Keller Varga was a surprise if it hadn't been for the board change Kilby to take over at Burnley. Jimmy will never just be dismissed, after all, Jimmy has led Burnley to League One for the first time in so many years.
Barry Kilby nodded. "Do you know what Jimmy told me?"
If you want stability, he said, look to Thompson. If you want to take an adventure, look for George. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Jimmy told me that he didn't quite understand a lot of George's ideas. Sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes it makes sense. But he said George had more ideas than he did. Instead, Jimmy said Thompson was more experienced than George, but his abilities were mediocre. ”
"So you chose George?" Keller was a little surprised, and because of this, he took the risk and chose George. After all, the choice of George, a coach who was only twenty-seven years old, was quite surprising to all the media.
"Well, if you say that, Jimmy left me with the best guarantee before leaving."
"Knock knock knock......" The sound of a soft knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. The two know that today's hero has arrived.
"Hello, Mr. Kilby and Mr. Varga." George is smiling every day these days, and since winning the League Cup, many people will say "Champion Coach" when they see George. George is also very fond of this title.
"George, you're here. After the last celebration, I wanted to look for you. But you've been tired lately, so that's why I'm looking for you so late. "Kilby was very enthusiastic when he saw George. The three million I invested three years ago have now multiplied.
Three years ago, Kilby became the majority shareholder of the Burnley club with just three million. At that time, Burnley was just a club with no future in the second division, but now Burnley is about to become a Premier League club. Moreover, it also won the League Cup, and the market value of Burnley Club is also many times higher.
The players who took less than 3 million to advance back then have now become the sweets pursued by major clubs. Each of them is worth millions, how can this not make Kilby happy.
"Mr. Kilby, you're busy with these things, I know." Now Burnley's performance is rising, and many advertisers are also favoring Burnley. Therefore, some previous expired advertising contracts need to be re-signed. So Kilby and Keller are also very busy.
After the three of them sat down, Kilby's young and beautiful secretary poured a cup of coffee for the three of them.
"George, I'm looking for you to renew your contract this time." Without any hesitation, Kirby directly stated the purpose of this time.
George and Burnley signed a 2+1 contract, which was automatically extended to this season after the end of last season. But this is the last season of the contract, and it will be over in three months.
Now George has become a representative of the young coach in English football, and before he reached 30, he has led the second division team to two jumps in three years, and will soon become the manager of the Premier League club. Not long ago, they won the Carabao Cup, and there has been news that some Premier League clubs have taken a fancy to George.
However, this is definitely not unfounded, and George has already received offers from a number of Premier League clubs. It's just that George doesn't have time to pay attention to that right now, and now George is fully focused on promotion and the FA Cup final.
Now Burnley's side is also in a hurry. Although Kilby believed that with George's surname, and George's feelings for Burnley, he would definitely stay at Burnley. But as a businessman, Kilby only believes in contracts. So Kilby wants to tie George to the contract as soon as possible.
George took the contract that Kilby handed him, and it was a three-year contract. But the salary has been greatly increased, more than seven times George's original salary. Now George's weekly salary is only eight hundred pounds, and once this contract is signed, George's weekly salary will become six thousand pounds.
Of course, there are many other content clauses in it, and George didn't look at them carefully, but pushed them back to Kilby.
"George, what are you?" Kilby was shocked to wonder if George had already accepted an offer from another club. Kilby doesn't want to lose a manager like George, and coaching is a job that gets older and better. Many coaches are getting older and more demonic.
Now George is not yet thirty years old, if he reaches the age of forty, when he reaches the golden age of coaching at fifty, what kind of achievements will he have? Kilby couldn't imagine any of these things, but Kilby knew they needed George at Burnley.
Although the expression on Kilby's face did not change much, George could already hear the surprise in Kilby's heart just from the tone of his voice. So laugh and shake your head.
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Kilby. I didn't think about any other club, Burnley is my home and I've put all my heart and soul into this Burnley team. George's words relieved both Kilby and Keller.
If George leaves Burnley, he will definitely not worry about leaving home. But this Burnley team is different, and the players in it are all players brought in by George. George is the soul of the current Burnley team, and Kilby is unwilling to give up on him.
"But, Mr. Kilby. My recent focus has been on promotion and the FA Cup final. So I don't want to be distracted, my idea is to wait until the FA Cup final to think about the contract. "This year's FA Cup final is on 16 May, when the English league schedule is over.
George wasn't trying to bargain with Kielbi for the future, but he really didn't have room to think about the contract right now. And after arriving in the Premier League, George also has a lot of ideas of his own. These things need to be discussed with Kilby, and they will not be able to be discussed in a moment. That's why George hopes that after the end of the season, the two sides can have a good talk and strive to get a good negotiation result.
Kilby and Keller looked at each other, they were both businessmen. The first thing that came to mind was that George should be a bargain, which they had already thought about. After all, George is no longer the unknown coach he was three years ago, and is now entitled to bargain with the club. As long as George wanted to stay at Burnley, and the conditions were not too excessive, Kilby would have agreed.
"George, you can put forward any ideas and conditions." Kilby said with a smile.
George saw that Kilby had misunderstood, so he shook his head. 'I don't mean that, I have some ideas for the future of the club and I need to talk to them. But it's not something that can be said in a few words, and I want to sit down and talk at the end of the season when everyone is not busy. ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Kilby. I'll stay at Burnley, I can guarantee that. ”
Seeing that George's attitude was firmer, Kilby also nodded helplessly. After working together for three years, I also know a little about George's surname, Gekilbie.
'Mr Kilby, if we can sit down and talk before the end of the season, before the FA Cup.' The League One will end on May 3, with the FA Cup final nearly half a month away. 'When the FA Cup is won and a new contract is announced, then I'm very happy.
"FA Cup win?" Keller interjected at the right time to lighten the mood.
"Of course, since they have all reached the finals, the goal is definitely to win the championship." George is now growing more and more confident.
Kilby knew there was no way to change the outcome, but was happy to hear George's assurance. "Yes, George. We signed the contract at the FA Cup celebrations, which also made a lot of sense. ”
