28 A camp of iron

After the forty-first round of matches, Burnley have already won the English second division. For the remaining five games, George sent some players who rarely played and let them get a feel for the game.

George is now focused on a summer transfer.

And the news of Burnley's upgrade has occupied a small space in some media. All eyes were now on the Premier League title race, and in the end, as in history, United came from 12 points down to complete an epic comeback.

Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan angrily said in an interview with Sky TV: "I would love to beat Manchester United", which became a famous joke. Kevin Keegan eventually lost a 12-point advantage under Ferguson's psychological warfare. Ferguson's use of brilliant psychological tactics almost drove Keegan to death has become a classic in Premier League history, and Manchester United have won their third Premier League title since the start of the Premier League.

This season was a turning point for Manchester United, who were about to start building a dynasty of their own. The midfield line that would become famous began to take shape this season, with David Beckham scoring seven league goals in his debut season in England, Roy Keane six, Ryan Giggs eleven and Paul Scholes ten, a perfect midfield line where everyone has good scoring ability and defensive ability. On top of that, the midfielders here are all young.

Ferguson's proudest disciple of the 92 generation officially began to take over, becoming the cornerstone of Manchester United's future treble. Sitting on the sofa in the studio of "The Match" in the summer of 1995, Liverpool legend Alan Hansen pointed to the Red Devils line-up with an average age of less than 23 at the time and sneered, "What championship can you win with a group of children!" "It will also become a laughing stock forever.

Last season's Premier League champions, Blake, were in turmoil at the start of the season, with Ray Shafort resigning and Dalglish taking over on an interim basis. Although Blackburn had a good run since Dalglish took over, they finished in 10th place at the end of the season, a far cry from last season.

…………

Of course, George doesn't care much about the current situation in the Premier League. Because of the promotion, George has to deal with the issue of player contract extensions. Although most of the team's players were signed after George took office, the team's promotion, the value of the players is naturally rising, and at this time, if a contract is not given that meets the status of a first-class player, the team's morale will be stable in the next season.

Those substitutes who can't play in the second division, George wants to put them in the transfer market. It's about buying players who can play in the first division.

But the most disturbing thing is that Burnley have a good result. There are a number of players who are already on the radar of other clubs, and as a team that has just been promoted to the First Division, Burnley is not as attractive as the old First Division.

"George, this is Coventry's offer for Huckleby." Evan Sawyer came to George's office and handed over a fax with a wry smile.

Evan Sawyer has been on George's coaching staff for the most important part of his job. At the end of the season, it will help to observe George's goals in the transfer market. Almost as George's assistant coach, Carl Pat is in charge of the team's regular training.

"Huckby?" Poboski was the undisputed star of George's team, and everyone else was overshadowed by his brilliance. Including George's favorite midfield core, Ballack, and homegrown rising star Daniel Morrison, can only be in the shadow of Poboski.

This is especially true of Darren Huckle. As a striker, goals and assists are far inferior to Poboski's right midfield.

However, George still has a lot of respect for Darren Hackby and Danny Murphy on the team, because these two are the silver bullets of the frontcourt. Darren Hakkby can play left and right, as a striker or as a midfielder. Having scored sixteen goals for Burnley last season, George was very reluctant to give up such a player.

But knowing the Premier League's offer, Hakby certainly couldn't turn it down. Burnley, no matter how good they are in the second division, are not at all on the same level as Coventry in terms of appeal.

"A million pounds!" George looked at the offer and was quite satisfied. Even in the First Division, very few players can afford a million pounds. "Evan, you can tell the club that if Huckabie can sell for more than a million pounds, he can sell it."

Evan Sawyer nodded, then faxed out the other quotes. There's Pobosky's, there's Barrack's, there's Daniel Morrison's, there's Danny Murphy's, there's Neil Lennon's, there's Gary Brin's. Anyway, basically the players of the Burnley team are in it.

"Evan, why don't you take it out together." George smiled as he held the thick stack of quotations.

Evan shrugged and said, "I've read all these offers, Poboski, you definitely have to wait until the end of the European Cup." Except for Darren Huckby's offer, the other offers are too low for I am sure you will not agree. ”

"Or do you know me." George pointed at Evan and smiled. "But we at the Burnley Little Club, except for a few people, don't have anything for sale. I'll give you a list of the veterans from the club, with Miller, Grant, Mitchell and Coyd in midfield. Then Ballack was the core of my team and Daniel was the banner for the future of our club. Except for these six people, as long as the price is right, the others can consider selling. ”

If Burnley is still in the Premier League, or if Burnley is a traditional English giant, then they have the confidence to keep their players. But Burnley are too frustrated to keep their players at the moment.

"I see." Evan Sawyer nodded.

"Here are a few of my goals for this summer, you help me reach out to them first. As soon as Poboski and Huckabi are sold, and the transfer fee is available, it will immediately enter the actual operation. George gave Evan a list and asked Evan to work on it in the early stages.

George found Kilby long before the end of the season. Kilby told George that Burnley were aiming for relegation in League One this season and that the club could only pay a transfer fee of £500,000. This made George despise Kilby so much that he only thought about relegation.

Now anyone with a little vision can see the huge potential of the Premier League. The Premier League has only been established for four years, but it is already showing vitality. And the income of the Premier League is also very huge, and Kilby doesn't want to let Burnley be promoted to the Super League at this time. On the contrary, it is too conservative to cherish that little bit of money.

But George can't help it, Burnley is a small club after all. Ticket revenue is limited, and various advertising revenues are also very low. As long as the Burnley board is unwilling to pay, then there is nothing George can do as a coach.

So now George is waiting for Pobosky to sell for a high price to fill the gap in the lineup.

"Yes, okay." Evan Sawyer simply looked at the list. Many of them, George had consulted with Evan.

George patted Evan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then it's bothering you, I'm going to enjoy the European Cup, if anyone comes to me, tell me so." ”
