Section 344 Tottenham

"Tottenham? Tottenham? When Li Bin heard the name, he didn't feel strange.

Although there are many teams in the Premier League, it can be said that the team's funds, facilities, and foundation in all aspects are quite good, that is, only a few teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle, and the other teams are slightly worse.

If you want to talk about history, Southampton, Everton are not bad, not to mention the Nottingham Forest, which has been sinking for a long time. However, these teams are basically poor ghosts, and Southampton's owners are still the richest in England, but they invest less than 3 million a year - this is still the most invested team in League One, and they are expected to rise, unless there is a miracle.

And some other teams, such as West Ham United, Manchester City and other teams, although they have no results, but the foundation is really good, but unfortunately, teams like West Ham United lack enough ambition, they don't want to make the team bigger, do a good job, just want to maintain the team's current situation, by selling players to make some money. If the team is big and the cost is high, they may not be happy with this kind of thing.

Therefore, Li Bin also thought early that after the worst, most of the teams Martins contacted were Tottenham or Newcastle - of course, if Chelsea changed the coach, he might also try.

'I've asked a lot of teams in the Premier League and the most likely, and the most worthwhile is Tottenham. They are willing to offer you an annual salary of 4.5 million, and guarantee that you have a net investment of 30 million in the summer for transfers, and they are also happy for you to take care of the transfer of the team - of course, the team manager has to stay, you have to ask the chairman for something, it is impossible to give you all the right to speak, but you don't ask for that, right? It can be said that they almost agreed to all the conditions you offered, and they almost did not ask for anything, and they gave the best conditions. ”

"Are they willing to accept such harsh conditions?" Li Bin was originally prepared to leave the team room for bargaining, but Tottenham was willing to accept it all, and he naturally would not object. What surprised him was that he accepted such a harsh request and was able to do it without mentioning anything, what is this Tottenham going to do?

"The main thing is that their results this season are too poor, the season is almost over, their results are not to mention Europe, and they want to be in the top 10. In the summer of '07, they invested a full 50 million, but even this bullshit result, they had to be embarrassed to ask for it. People spend money and don't get results, but they are also at the top of the league, and Tottenham has played tricks this season. ”

Tottenham's results are really bad at the moment. They've fallen into the bottom half of the league and now they're home. And what's even more embarrassing is that they still played on the basis of spending 50 million in the summer - but seeing that they bought a Darren Bent for 25 million and a teenager Bell for 15 million, this is not to blame for their poor performance, which is basically a copy of Liverpool's 35 million to buy Carroll and 25 million to buy Downing in the future. To bet on a rising star in the Premier League is to go crazy.

No wonder they will accept Li Bin's conditions in their entirety: even if Li Bin doesn't go, their expenses will not be less, and they will have to change the team's manager or scouting director. And if Li Bin goes, they will hand it over to Li Bin.

As for saying that there is no requirement for results, it is also a normal thing: what are the performance requirements for teams that have been ranked tenth in the league since they have finished tenth? Is it a requirement to get a European place? That's a shame too.

"The other teams, basically no play. Newcastle are too poor, I guess they will be difficult not to go bankrupt next year, not to mention the transfer fee, and it will be a problem to pay you a salary. Chelsea are a little interested in you, but I've been in touch with the top of the squad and Abu is very demanding on results, and he has his own favourite coaches, one is Scolari and the other is Guus Hiddink – he's been interested in the manager of the national team for the past two years, but not in the manager. They refused to accept any of your conditions, and their higher-ups hinted to me that if you go, the salary will be very high, and the transfer fee may be more than you think - but Abu has to be in the mood, if he is not in the mood, then don't talk about it. ”

Sure enough, in other places, there is not much hope.

"The best place you can contact is Tottenham? It looks like it's a little bit second. Looking at Martins' suggestion, Li Bin also smiled a little wryly.

"Actually, this kind of place is more suitable for you, firstly, in terms of results, they don't have too many requirements - since the establishment of the Premier League, Tottenham has never scored more than 70 points, 70 points, no matter how bad you are, you can't get it, right? They can break their all-time record casually, especially now that Tottenham are almost at the bottom, it's time to bounce back, you go there, it's easy to start, easy to take over, there's no pressure. ”

And then there's Tottenham's investment. Over there, your fame is here, and they're going to have to obey your opinion, for example, I brought it up to them, and if you go there, the scouting director has to be replaced by your guys, and they don't have a problem. When you get to the Premier League, everything over there is definitely going to be a major surgery, so it's good to have enough space to do things. Moreover, Tottenham are relatively rich after all. You can check for yourself, Tottenham has been at the forefront of the Premier League over the years, although the results are not the top four, but the money is definitely the top four, I think they can do it with an investment of 30 million a season. The Tottenham boss even told me that if you go over this year, he can give you a lot of freedom to put in the market who the current Tottenham players can sell, who they keep, how much money they sell. ”

"Nonsense, Tottenham Hotspur has such a bad ranking this year, if I am not allowed to have major surgery in this ranking, won't I have to continue to finish next year? They're not stupid. Li Bin hesitated, "I've always heard that the boss of Tottenham has the idea of divestment, and their Jewish boss seems to be quite picky, I don't worry about anything else, I'm just worried, they don't want to continue to invest money." After the coaches signed an agreement with the team, there were not a few people who were cheated by the team, so I had to ask clearly that I couldn't suffer this loss. ”

"I don't think you have to worry about that. There's a big problem here, and one you need to pay attention to: the 2012 Olympics are being held in London, and for this reason, a new stadium is being built in London, and as you must know, it has been planned for a long time, and in May, ground will be broken. Once the new stadium was built, there was a lot of talk about the role of the stadium after the Olympics, with Tottenham, West Ham United and Leyton Orient being the most likely teams to host the new stadium as their own. And if you want to compete for this course, the most important thing is to have enough results and financial support. Tottenham's finances are not a problem, all they need is enough results to be able to compete for ownership of the new stadium. And if they move the new stadium, their income can be increased a lot - White Hart Lane is a small stadium with 36,000 people, and the size of the new stadium is a stadium with more than 80,000 people, which can greatly increase the team's income - Tottenham is Arsenal's sworn enemy, and how much Arsenal's income has increased after moving the new stadium, they all see it, they can move a big stadium, the team is better, and their team can immediately make a lot of money, they understand this. Even if their boss wants to sell the team, he has to let the team go high to throw his hand, and the Jews won't make too many mistakes when it comes to money. ”

"And, about Tottenham's slamming, it depends on what you say." Martins continued, "When they buy players, they like to bargain, and they can often bargain for a player for a long time, and sometimes they delay the deal, so people say they are picking, but in fact they spend a lot of money. But, on the other hand, they also have a habit of being budget-conscious, they just lack some courage, and when you go there, you can inject them with courage and take them right forward. ”

"I still think you've received the benefits for what."

"I'm an agent – I'm not going to hide it from you, Tottenham is the way it is now, once you take over, the seller will be able to sell it for a lot of money immediately. Berbatov and Robbie Keane alone are a lot of money, plus Tottenham promised you an investment, and their transactions in and out this year have exceeded 100 million - how can I not covet such a big deal? ”

Martins was very frank about his opinion, and this also made Li Bin fall into thought.

Speaking of which, Tottenham is indeed a good fit. After all, Tottenham is also a big team in the Premier League, and the team in London City is not a problem in terms of funds. And now, they do have a higher pursuit goal, although it is to compete for a new stadium, so as to increase the value of the team, but there is always an urgent need to improve, which also makes them a little more lenient with themselves. has money, power, and although the foundation of Tottenham's existing players is weaker, many of them are qualified as substitutes, and it will be very convenient when they build their own team.

And if there is anything that he is not very happy with, or remember, Tottenham is really bad.

As far back as I can remember, Tottenham have finished in the top four of the Premier League twice, once when Liverpool fell behind, they reached the Champions League and entered the knockout rounds, but they still lost at the end. The other time was when Chelsea fell behind, but they were not eligible to play in the Champions League because Chelsea had won the Champions League. Other times, their best finish was still in the top five, and they lost to arch-rivals Arsenal in the final round of the race for fourth.

It's a big challenge to take Tottenham to the top.

"Li, I don't know why you should be so cautious? When you accept Parma, but you can gamble on the poor to the extreme, now, Tottenham has such good conditions, what can you choose? What about your ruthlessness and determination? ”

Martins looked at Li Bin, who couldn't pay attention, and also spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"I had nothing, I lost and I started all over again, and of course I didn't care. Now I have built a reputation with great difficulty, if I lose, it will be a catastrophe, it has not been easy for me to get to this point all these years, of course I don't want to take a fork in the road and fall back again. Li Bin shook his head.

"Also, you'd better arrange it, something goes wrong with the province."

"No need, I'm just complaining a few times that the situation is not satisfactory, Tottenham Hotspur, I'm already very satisfied." Li Bin smiled, "Now that I've climbed this far, who has the ability to make me fall back easily?"

Tottenham in my memory has indeed failed to produce results for several years in a row, but their coach is the old Redknapp or Boas, what are these coaches in their eyes now?

What they need is not some fate, not what they remember their grades. Now that Parma have been able to bring themselves to this point, what is so difficult about bringing Tottenham to the top of the Premier League?

What I need is just an opportunity, and now that I have the opportunity, it's time for me to leap into a dragon. Parma are a small pond and can't feed themselves, but at Tottenham it is possible. The fate of this team is not good, but the strength is extremely satisfying to Li Bin. How many teams can spend nearly 100 million yuan on the transfer market in one summer?

In this case, why should you hesitate to do anything? Tottenham is Tottenham, who said that a team like Tottenham can't sing the world white?
