"No way!"

Boya's voice was not loud, but his tone was resolute, and he didn't even leave the slightest room for negotiation, which made Lin Sen a little helpless. ≧ top novel,

It has been a month since Cambridge United won the league championship, and a month is not a long time, but it is enough to happen a lot, for example, let Cambridge United squeeze out Chessfield to the second place in the league table, and directly determine a promotion place, for example, let Cambridge United still have a chance to fight back against Sheffield United, who have led all the way for more than half a season, with only one round of the league remaining.

For Cambridge United fans, the outgoing season has been a fantastic one, as their team has achieved a fantastic feat: the upgrade triple jump. It's been a successful season for Tang Hua and his boys, but it's not over yet, and they still have a goal to chase. And for Lin Sen, this season is actually over.

Whether or not they can win the title against Sheffield United in the final round is not so important for Linsen, the most important thing is that Cambridge United have been promoted, and that is enough.

From the club's point of view, promotion to the Championship means that the club's income will be greatly improved, sponsorship, advertising, TV broadcast revenue...... All incomes will be qualitatively improved, although these incomes are still a drop in the bucket compared to the big cake of the Premier League, but for Cambridge United, which has just been promoted from League One, it is already a leap.

It's just that promotion is a good thing, but there is no free dinner in the world, from League One to the Championship is to represent Cambridge United back in the eyes of the mainstream media in England, but at the same time, there is also the pressure that follows, purely from a competitive point of view, although the Championship is only a second-tier league in England, but in fact, in many ways has approached the standards of the top leagues of some European countries.

So, on the professional track. Naturally, it's impossible to still pedal a bike, at the very least, you can keep up with all kinds of configurations. It is precisely because of this that Lin Sen had the idea of increasing Tang Hua's transfer budget in the new season, but what he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, he was directly vetoed by Cambridge United's de facto "Chancellor of the Exchequer" Boya.

"Could it be that when you reach the Championship, you still expect Tang to take this group of children to fight the world?" Lin Sen spread his hands and said with a wry smile.

However, for Lin Sen's words. Boya seemed indifferent, and she said lightly, "Of course I know that this is not fair to Tang. But have you ever thought about other things? Or do you really think you're a super-rich? ”

Lin Sen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

He didn't actually know about other things in Boya's mouth. Coming from League One to the Championship, the pressure of competition is one aspect, but it is definitely not the whole story. In the eyes of fans, upgrading means that the team's income is higher, so it is necessary to bring in more high-level players in the transfer market. But for the club, the most urgent thing is not the recruitment, but the "upgrade" in all other aspects.

For example, the Abbe Stadium needs to be expanded. Theoretically capable of accommodating nearly 9,000 fans, Abbe Stadium has a capacity of just under 7,000, and last season, with Cambridge United's excellent results, Abbe Stadium has experienced several explosive challenges. In the new Championship season, fan attendance is bound to increase, after reaching an agreement with Cambridge City to "redeem" the ownership of Abbe Stadium. The expansion of the Abbe Stadium was originally planned by the club, and now it is particularly urgent.

Dave Dougan has already met Paul Gary several times on this matter, and the expansion of Abbe Stadium is about to start this summer, which will require real money.

Another example is the treatment of players and staff. Maybe it's because no one thought that Cambridge United could be promoted, although most of Cambridge United's players and staff contracts do not have a hard clause for salary increases, but no, it doesn't mean that you don't need to consider it. No one will exclude their own higher salary, not to mention that there is a valid reason, the League One has the salary standard of the League One, and the Championship naturally has the salary standard of the Championship, which has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, everyone needs to support their families.

Therefore, the team's salary budget is bound to be "upgraded", which also requires real money.

……

There are also upgrades to the team's training facilities, youth training facilities, etc., which require the club to give a clear plan, and each plan is directly related to money.

Of course, the transfer budget is also an indispensable part, but it is obvious that in Boya's view, Lin Sen's increase in this part of the investment is undoubtedly a "willful" attempt. As she said, Lin Sen is not a super-rich man, with his net worth, there may be room to buy a League One club, but this is in the case of not spending money indiscriminately, not to mention, the current Cambridge United is about to become a Championship team, it is even more impossible to "overdraw" in any aspect.

"How much more?" Lin Sen suddenly said with a hippie smile.

Seeing Lin Sen's appearance, Boya couldn't help crying and laughing, "Is this what everyone who has ever been a football coach looks like?" ”

"You don't know what it's like to be a manager and have no money to spend." Lin Sen also smiled bitterly.

“…… Actually, it's not impossible. Seeing that Lin Sen's words did not seem to be fake, Boya thought for a while and said, "I have a meeting with the bank next week, if it goes well, maybe Tang can have a little more money on hand this summer." ”

"Five million?" Lin Sen said happily.

"Impossible." Boya was once again merciless, extinguishing the hope in Lin Sen's heart.

"How much is that?" Lin Sen frowned.

"Two million at most."

"Three million?"

"No way!"

……——

Of course, Tang Hua can't know that the season is not over yet, and Lin Sen has already started to bargain for him and his wife like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, just to get him some more transfer budget in the summer.

At this time, all his thoughts were on the last round of the season.

The current situation of League One has been decided, in addition to the championship and relegation teams are still a little suspenseful, the promoted teams and the teams that play the promotion play-offs have been determined, Sheffield United and Cambridge United have become the teams that have been directly promoted, and among the three to six, the third place Chesfield is four points away from Cambridge United, and it is impossible to qualify directly, and the sixth place Berry is also four points ahead of the seventh-place Crewe. It also ensured his qualification for the play-offs.

In the final round of the league, Cambridge United's opponent was fourth-placed Blackpool.

For Blackpool, this season's regular season has run out of desire for them, and they have already qualified for the play-offs, which is five points behind third-placed Chessfield, and it is impossible to improve their position, according to the rules of the play-offs 3-on-6, 4-on-5, this game against Cambridge United, even if they lose. Their opponents will still be Bradford.

However, it is clear that Blackpool's manager Hyypia doesn't think so.

The conversation with Carl Robinson still seems to ring in his ears, although in the face of reality, Hyypia also has to admit that Carl Robinson's optimism about Cambridge United is really not untargeted, but this does not change Hyypia's attitude towards Cambridge United, he knows that Cambridge United is eager for a win in this game to fight for the last chance to win the championship, but no one wants their team to be killed by the same team to achieve a season double.

The race was played in the rain. But the bad weather didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the home fans, and it was the curtain call of the season at Abbe Stadium, and no Cambridge United fan wanted to miss it. What's more, after this game, they may even witness Cambridge United become league champions.

Although, it takes some luck. And Sheffield United will need to lack some luck.

Perhaps affected by the rainy weather, in the first half of the game, there were frequent mistakes on both sides. For the vast majority of the time, the fans in the stands seemed to see only the two teams focused on the destruction, and the score remained 0-0, and the only consolation was perhaps that in the other stadium, Sheffield United failed to knock on Rochdale's door.

In the second half, the rain was heavier, but the referee did not think that the game needed to be suspended, and the result was that the performance of the two teams was still affected, and mistakes became the main theme again, just when the managers of both sides frowned on the sidelines, the set-piece became the key to breaking the deadlock of the game.

In the 68th minute, in the midst of the obvious waterlogging, George's personal skills were greatly affected, and it was through this corner that Stam knocked on the door of Blackpool with a header, and the score was 1-0 for the cheers above the stands at Abbe Stadium to finally drown out the rain.

It's just that the cheers of the Cambridge United fans didn't last long, and it was also a set-piece, and Blackpool gave Cambridge United a backhand blow.

Myers won a free kick 20 meters in front of the goal, and the angle of the ball from Wardwards was not awkward, and it could even be said to be very positive, but it was not only slippery on a rainy day, but the goalkeeper Norris of Cambridge United slipped the ball out of his arms in the case of pounced on the ball, and Myers, who had just won a free kick for Blackpool, easily pushed the goal.

In less than five minutes, the score changed again and again, and the only thing that remained unchanged was that the game was still a draw, and this became the end of the game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was still applause in the stands at Abbe Stadium.

With another battleground, Sheffield United eventually beat Rochdale 2-0 and in the end, Cambridge United were unable to come back from behind to win the title at the last minute, but in any case, it was a perfect enough season for Cambridge United fans.

"Congratulations." After the game, Hyypia came to Tang Hua and took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

Sheffield United won, which means that even if Cambridge United wins, they still can't win the championship, maybe this can't make Cambridge United less disappointed in losing the championship, but it's more or less a comforting excuse, of course, Hyypia's congratulations, on the surface, is to congratulate Tang Hua on leading the team to upgrade successfully, although there is a bit of schadenfreude in it.

"Thank you." Tang Hua also stretched out his hand.

Failure to win the championship is naturally somewhat disappointing, but he is not enough to blame the other party for this. It's just that, after thanking him, Tang Hua added, "Good luck." ”

It's not a mockery, but Tang Hua's good luck also has a good reason, isn't Blackpool going to play the play-offs? It's a place where luck comes in. (To be continued......)
