Tottenham is not short of money, and even Tottenham's net investment in the coming period is definitely quite a lot. Later statistics showed that Tottenham would spend Β£200 million on the next decade. That's just the net investment, and they've spent more than Β£400 million on the transfer market over the next decade.
In English football, it is ranked third and fourth, which can be compared to Manchester United. In the Premier League, in addition to Manchester City and Chelsea, two local tycoons with a net investment of more than 400 million pounds, Tottenham even beats the investment of Premier League giants such as Liverpool and Arsenal. This kind of investment can be in the top 10 in European football. Compared to the stingy Arsenal, Tottenham are the real big players. Rist is willing to continue his relationship with Tottenham and is willing to do business with Tottenham.
That's why Rist recommends Arnesen. Arneson is a very capable man and has a wide network of contacts in European football. Of course, the most important thing for Lister is that Arneson is a partner of Lister. In addition to having a very personal relationship with Arneson, Rist and Arneson also have some interests. Rist knew Arneson was smart, and even more so at how to fight for his own interests. This kind of thing doesn't need Reese to help him, and Arneson himself knows how to work with Lister for profit.
Once Arneson enters Tottenham and becomes the number one player in Tottenham's transfer market, then Rist can indirectly control Tottenham's transfer market. At that time, Rist will be able to earn more.
However, the specific cooperation between them, Lister will not interfere. Because Arneson is not Benitez, although Benitez is already a top coach. But he only focuses on building his team. As for the outside affairs, they were all handed over to Lister, and even the conversations with the club's top management were all helped by Lister.
But Arneson is different. He is a man with a great desire for power and control of desires. Rist can work with him, but he will never interfere with his work. Because it's easy for him to bounce back. Now in Eindhoven, just because Hius is a bit strong, Arneson has the idea of leaving Eindhoven. If Rist dares to interfere with his territory, the cooperation between the two will surely break. So Lister was just giving them a chance to negotiate.
"How's it going?"
Daniel. Levy and Arneson seem to be talking well. Just look at Arneson's face. The two have been in frequent contact lately, and Rist knows about it. Being able to contact frequently, Rist knew that the two sides had already talked deeply.
"Almost."
Frank. Arneson nodded, a little excited. For Arnesen, PSV Eindhoven is emotional. But the Eindhoven platform is too small. If it was ten years ago. Then Tottenham really can't compare to PSV Eindhoven. After all, PSV Eindhoven is a Eredivisie giant who has won the treble, and it can even be regarded as a European giant. When it was strong, even those giants in Europe did not dare to underestimate Eindhoven.
But after the "Bosman Act", the situation in European football has completely changed, and the entire Eredivisie has declined. Now the Eredivisie, including Ligue 1, has become a player training base for the four major European leagues. PSV Eindhoven is a big man in the Eredivisie. But the current status is no longer comparable to the middle and upper reaches of the four major European leagues.
This time he left PSV Eindhoven for Tottenham. It's a new journey for Arnesen. Whatever the way it may be. These are all places where haode can no longer haode. And in PSV Eindhoven, Arnesson's annual salary is only 300,000 euros, but Tottenham is asking for 800,000 pounds a year. For ArnΓ©son, the salary has risen fourfold in one fell swoop.
"How's Daniel this guy?"
Rist though did not participate in the negotiations between them. But most of Lister was able to guess it. Although Arneson is the general manager of PSV Eindhoven, he can get 300,000 euros, which is already the highest salary in Eredivisie football. But if he comes to England, to the Premier League, then the salary will go up many times.
Like Manchester United's Kenyon, Arsenal's David. Dunn: Their salaries are in the millions of pounds. Although Tottenham is not as good as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other giants, they also aim to become a Premier League powerhouse. Therefore, Arneson's salary will not be too low.
"Very smart and powerful. However, he regards football as an investment, and is unfamiliar with the football world. It is indeed a layman for the operation of football. β
Ordinary people are very worried if they encounter a boss or boss who does not know how to do it. Because both the boss and the boss have to work, but how does a layman work. It's easy for them to mess things up once they get their hands dirty. It's not just in football, it's in a lot of areas. Kenyon, for example, is the biggest contributor to United's business dynasty. But he's a top trick in business negotiations, but he's poor when it comes to player transfer talks. Manchester United have not done well in several player transfers and contract negotiations in the past two years. This is the specialization of the art industry.
But Arneson had a smile on his face. For a professional manager like Arnesen, especially for Arnesen, who was a general manager in Eindhoven for ten years, Daniel Anderson. Levy's ignorance was in his best interest. It is because of Daniel. Levy doesn't understand, so he needs Arneson even more, so that he can show Arneson's strength even more.
Arneson and Daniel. Levy talked about it. This guy doesn't know football, but he's definitely very smart. Arneson believes that as long as he shows enough ability, Daniel. Levy will definitely know how to make trade-offs.
"So you know about Tottenham or not."
"Of course. I'm never going to fight uncertainly, and I've done my homework before meeting Daniel. Tottenham's problems are complicated and simple. β
Arneson is confident. Arneson never doubted his abilities. Arneson's desire to control is, to put it bluntly, overconfidence. He thinks he's absolutely right.
"The biggest problem with Tottenham over the years is that their chairman is more amateur than the other. Of course, there are not one or two presidents in European football, but the biggest problem is that they are not just laymen, they also like to interfere in the specific affairs of the club. Look at how often they change coaches and how blind they are in the transfer market. They are spending a lot of money on the transfer market, but they just can't solve the club's problems. It's all because their club is short-sighted and doesn't know how to plan holistically. If I were to be in charge of their transfer market, I could make Tottenham a Premier League powerhouse in a short period of time. β
Arneson's tone was arrogant, but Rist didn't feel disgusted at all. Because Rist knows that Arneson has such strength, if Tottenham really gives Arneson some time, Arneson can definitely help Tottenham make a long-term plan. And with Arneson's ability, even if he takes some kickbacks in the middle, he can help Tottenham find some good players. Of course, what is needed for someone like Arneson is to give him enough power. As long as you trust him and give him enough power, Arneson is definitely the top football manager in European football.
"Frank, I believe in you."
Arneson looked up at Rist carefully, and he was puzzled by what he saw. Rist also deliberately looked at his dress, but didn't find anything unusual. And Rist and Arneson have known each other for a long time, and they don't pay much attention to their dress. When Lister looked at Arneson suspiciously, Arneson said, "Lister, what is the relationship between Coach Redknapp and you?" β
"Coach Redknapp?"
Rist knew Arneson was definitely from Daniel. Levy heard Rist's recommendation of Redknapp, so he asked Rist. Arneson will have a lot of power in his hands when he arrives at Tottenham, especially on the sporting side. At that time, he will have to work closely with Redknapp, so I want to know the relationship between Riester and Redknapp.
"Nothing too special. Redknapp is one of England's leading homegrown coaches, with a deep network of contacts and good ability in English football. I used to have a relationship with the English agent Stretford. I used to have a tense relationship with Stretford, but recently the two of us have started to reconcile. I also got to know Coach Redknapp from Stretford and am now preparing how to woo him. β
"What, you want him to be your coach?"
Reesette nodded. Redknapp himself can only be a famous coach in England, not a famous coach in Europe. Because there are not one or two managers who are stronger and more famous than him in European football. But Rist values Redknapp because of his huge connections in English football and the fact that he is a homegrown coach in England. There is even a potential for a figure to become the head coach of the England national team.
"In that case, we have to discuss this matter. It can't be Daniel who talks to Coach Redknapp. To invite him to be Tottenham's manager, it has to be the two of us. β
Arneson thought for a moment for Rist.
"I see."
Rist and Arneson have known each other for so long, and everyone understands each other's thoughts. Even the personalities of the two sides are already pondering about the same.
Arneson has a strong desire to control, and even in the Premier League, it is impossible to get rid of such a problem. However, the Premier League is different from the Eredivisie, and the manager of the Premier League club has a lot of power. Arneson doesn't want a homegrown coach like Redknapp to come to Tottenham and split his rights. So Arneson thinks farther. Even if Redknapp becomes Tottenham manager, he will have to be in his own control.
'Lister, I'm probably going to Tottenham in the winter. You have to help me. β
Arneson has a lot of connections in European football and can bring in a lot of players in the Eredivisie. But to bring in good players in a short period of time, what is most needed is an agent predator like Rist. And Lister and Arneson have worked together for many years, and they also cooperate tacitly. Arneson knows that Rist has a lot of good players at his disposal. Therefore, at this time he needs Riester even more.
"Yes." (To be continued......)
PS: Sorry, today is also two shifts. At present, I can take up to four hours a day, and it is really impossible to recover the third watch. After this period of time, I will definitely work hard.
