127 Choices (I)
Jack Walker brought it up again, in fact, George was more moved in his heart. After all, this is the third time that Jack Walker has invited himself, and he has not changed since he was not yet famous.
This attention and trust alone is enough for George to be grateful. After George came into this world, he ended up working as a football coach. But there are not many people who really trust themselves so much.
But for that alone, George couldn't have coached Blackburn. If you weren't a Burnley native, you wouldn't have been a Burnley manager. With Jack Walker's trust alone, George will not hesitate to coach Blackburn.
But George was born and raised in Burnley, and George's grandfather's grandfather was a Burnley fan from the beginning. Coaching Blackburn Rovers really shouldn't have been done by George.
"Mr. Walker, you should know. I'm from Burnley and coach Blackburn Rover......" George laughed and shook his head.
George couldn't say anything, after all, the person in front of him was a rich man in England. And he was so good to himself, so he only spoke half a sentence. But George believed that Jack Walker should be able to understand.
Jack Walker smiled slightly, then shook his head.
'George, I've heard that the offers from Liverpool and Newcastle have been very sincere. If you don't mind, can you tell me why the negotiations are falling apart? Although Jack Walker doesn't know the specific process inside, Jack Walker still knows some small insiders about the breakdown of negotiations.
Being pushed back by a young coach like George, Liverpool and Newcastle are both humiliated. So the words are unknown, but there are still words coming out.
George thought for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Liverpool and Newcastle are both well-known teams in England, and now they may have gone too far. But George has no regrets, and after one time at Burnley, George's nerves are a little sensitive.
"Mr. Walker, let's be honest. I'm sure you know exactly why I left Burnley. George spoke slowly. My request is simple and simple, but most clubs are not willing to meet it. I just want the club management not to meddle in the specifics of the team and that no aspect of the team should bypass me as a manager. It's a pity that they all think I'm asking too much. β
George sighed, in his previous life George had always thought that being a manager in England should be like that. But after actually getting in touch with English football, I found that the head coach of English football has a lot of power. But unless it is a world-class coach like Alex Ferguson, he is not a fart in front of capital.
Liverpool actually want a two-leader system, if they hire a world-class manager, will they still do so? George just wanted Newcastle to protect his authority in the team, and Sheffield slumped. All this made George understand that the manager wants to fight with the club's top management, and that needs capital.
Ferguson has the confidence to wrestle with Manchester United's top management, but George has no results. As a result, Liverpool and Newcastle immediately terminated the negotiations.
"George, you should know. It's not the football it used to be anymore. When Clough was at Nottingham Forest, as long as the players were disobedient, he even hung up. But now, of course, not, the rights of the manager are increasingly restricted by the club. β
Jack Walker nodded, smiling and talking to George. George didn't speak, and George felt it deeply. With George's contribution to Burnley, Kilby didn't care about George. Not to mention the big clubs, not only have big stars who are difficult to manage, but also strong club executives.
Seeing George silent, Jack Walker smiled.
"George, if you come to Blackburn, I can agree to everything you say. Head coach? Everything in the team should be under the responsibility of the manager, and in my capacity as president of the club, I assure you that there will be no one to interfere with your affairs in the team. β
George looked up at Jack Walker. Jack Walker is really good to himself, and when Liverpool negotiated with Newcastle, when he heard George's request, he felt that George was too arrogant. But Jack Walker trusts himself so much.
The ancients died as a confidant. This phrase is a joke in modern times, and so does George. But Jack Walker's trust touched George very much. Although it does not reach the point where the ancients died as a confidant, it is also a very touching story that there are people in this world who trust themselves so much.
George closed his eyes and thought for a moment before slowly opening them.
"Mr. Walker, if I'm Blackburn head coach, will you be able to completely let go of the team's affairs?"
Jack Walker is an old fox, otherwise he would not have become the steel tycoon of England. The family's assets in the sixties were already more than 100 million pounds. As soon as George said it, Jack Walker understood George's thoughts in his heart.
"George, I can fully assure you. I can let you be in charge of the team, from the first team to the youth team, there will be no second person to interfere with your decisions. β
"Mr. Walker, even if I sell Sutton, Gallaher, Sherwood, and Ripley, I won't interfere with the cleaning of the Hendry Club?" Among the current Blackburns, there are still many players left over from the championship when they won the championship.
Sutton is currently Blackburn's biggest name player, scoring eighteen goals in the Premier League last season. Blackburn were able to avoid relegation in the end, thanks to Sutton's excellent performance. Since Shearer's departure from Blackburn, Blackburn's forward line has been supported by Sutton.
Of course, Kevin Gallacher was also in excellent form last season, scoring 16 goals for Blackburn. The combination of Chris Sutton and Kevin Gallaher is also one of the most classic combinations in the Premier League.
Hendry is Blackburn's meritorious captain, although he is not the best central defender in the world, but his influence at Blackburn Rovers is very large.
After George said these words, he was already very .......
This time, Jack Walker didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment. He knew that George was definitely not saying this casually, once he promised George, if George really joined Blackburn, he would definitely purge the club players.
But after thinking for a moment, Jack Walker nodded.
"George, I said that as long as you're the head coach, then the club won't interfere in the team's affairs. This of course also includes the buying and selling of players, and if you really want to purge players, the club will support you. β
George stared at Jack Walker closely, and George was not talking casually. Because once in charge of Blackburn, these players George are not sure that they will be able to convince them. And entering the Premier League, George didn't have the time to mess with these players. So as long as Jack Walker supports it, George will definitely have to purge most of the players when he enters Blackburn.
When George said this, he was not the army of Walker. The people George is talking about are all Blackburn Rovers meritorious players, and they are the main players in the current Blackburn first team. If it were to be purged all, it would be a great upheaval. No club would do that.
But I didn't expect Jack Walker to agree, which made George a little overwhelmed.
George didn't know how to answer Jack Walker. "Mr. Walker, how about you give me a moment to think about it?"
"Yes, George. I wait for your good news. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Do you really trust George so much?" John Williams waited until George left, then sat down next to Jack Walker and asked.
Jack Walker gently took a sip of the coffee in front of him, then slowly opened his mouth.
"John, you don't know. When I first watched Burnley and Blackburn Rovers play, I felt that George was not a young man in the pool. I thought he would be the best fit for us Blackburn. I am confident that my decision will be as successful as when I invited Dalglish. β
John Williams just stood by and smiled. Williams is also in favor of George being able to coach Blackburn, but not by feeling like Jack Walker. It's because of George's achievements that Williams appreciates very much.
"But will George agree to come to Blackburn? I think he has a lot of concerns? Williams voiced his doubts.
Jack Walker smiled softly, a smile that was in control.
"Do you know why George hasn't been able to get a job with what he's getting so far?" Jack Walker paused, and without waiting for Williams to answer, he continued to speak to himself. "Because George is a man with a full surname, and his ideas are too naΓ―ve, and his thinking is stuck in 20 years ago. What do you say about the club will really not interfere with the team, the team is the core of a club. So he can only hit nails everywhere, maybe only those little clubs may be satisfied for a year or two. But in a few years, I won't be able to stand him. β
"And I can, I'm willing to give him a platform to display his talents. So he'll definitely promise me. β
