"Pinny, do you see? The most profitable player in the football industry of the future is our agent. Stretford is still quite photogenic. ”

Rist pointed to Stretford on TV and smiled at Pinny. Zahavi said. Stretford, who was on TV, said to the reporter who interviewed him in high spirits: The growth of players' salaries is unstoppable, and the potential stock of the future football industry is the brokerage company.

He excitedly said that among the football-related stocks, the future of the brokerage company is the brightest.

"Huh. Stretford is getting more and more out of place. ”

Pinny. Zahavi pouted. Stretford is too arrogant for Lister and Pini in the shadows. That's the case with Zahavi. Stretford has been arrogant in English football, and even the FA has received reports about him several times. But every time he passed with his strong strength and connections.

Now he's even better. His Proactive sports management company had just started going public, and there was one thing that would be good for his company to go public. That is, Campbell, who was on a free transfer, received a weekly salary of 90,000 pounds at Manchester United, and such a high weekly salary stunned everyone. Everyone believes that the value and salary of the players will continue to increase, so they are very optimistic about the agency. His listed company has also been sought after by many people because of this. The market value of his brokerage soon exceeded £100 million.

"Who made him England's 'number one' agent."

"yes. It's never easy to be 'first'. How can you see him so beautiful, and your brokerage company also wants to go public? Your brokerage company goes public. It won't be worse than him. ”

Pinny. Zahavi's agency is simple, there are not so many players, and he has never considered taking his company public. But Rist's agency is different, with more than three hundred players. Among them, there are already many players who are worth more than 10 million.

In addition, Nedved's transfer of more than 40 million euros this summer, Poboski's 30 million euros a year ago, Rosicky's 20-year-old 26 million euros, and players like Vicente and Jankoller. Lister's agency far outnumbers Stretford in terms of the number of top players. After Lister's defeat in Valencia this summer, some media outlets have estimated the overall price of Rister's agent's player, and Zuihou has estimated the result at more than 230 million euros. Therefore, many people believe that if Rist's brokerage company chooses to go public, the market price can exceed 300 million euros.

"Going public? I will never let my company go public in my life. In the brokerage industry, you also know a lot of things that should not be known to outsiders. Stretford: This is looking for their own death. ”

Rist pouted. Like Proactive Sports Management in Stratford, you work with Robson, Souness, Dalglish, Allardyce, Martin. O'Neill, Kevin. Keegan: They have a combination of interests, and everyone in the circle knows it. So every time there is a black gold scandal, the FA's first concern is always Stretford.

But he didn't know how to converge at all, and he dared to make his company go public like this. Insiders know it. No one will break the news about him. Because for them, the world is as black as a crow. None of the brokers dared to claim to be clean. It's just that some people have more handles, and some people do it more secretively.

"You say it's funny for newspapers to speculate on Proactive Sports Management's shareholder list every day."

Once listed, the company has to be transparent in many ways. With Proactive Sports Management going public, their list of shareholders is sure to be leaked.

"Definitely. The English media are all bitches with no discipline. My favorite is such news. ”

Pinny. Zahavi and Rist were neither loud nor loud. But as he spoke, both of them laughed. Stretford was too insolent this time. even united with several local agents to directly suppress Lister. Although it was Lister who was hit, but Pini. Zahavi agrees.

Rist hadn't seen Stretford until now, but Pinny. Zahawi knew Stretford. Pinny. Zahavi has a good relationship with West Ham United. He and Redknapp knew each other relatively early. It is precisely because of this relationship that Pini. Zahavi fell in love with Rio Ferdinand, who was still in the youth team at the time, and became his agent.

And Stretford, as the first agent in England, is also a cooperative relationship with Redknapp, who is left and right in English football and has a lot of connections. So Pini. Zahawi and Sretford knew each other relatively early. I am familiar with the character of Stretford.

This person likes to be in the limelight, but one of his biggest skills is that he is very good at coaxing players and making them obey him. And having been the boss in England for too long, there are some people who have no one in mind. This time it was a war between Rist and Stretford. Zahawi could have stood by and watched. Pini after all. Zahawi and Rist's friendship is not yet deep enough to defend themselves against the enemy. But he still chose to work with Lister.

It's because there is no one in Stretford's eyes, and there is a kind of thinking that the eldest is the second one. Hence Pini. Zahavi fears that once Rister can't resist quitting English football, Stretford, who has tasted the sweetness, may be the next target to deal with himself. After all, the current foreign agents in English football, Rist and Pini. Zahavi is an agent who has the ability to challenge for the first place in Sretford.

"yes. The English media's favorite thing is to dig up scandals, and maybe what kind of black gold scandal will be exposed by them. ”

Impartial, objective, truthful, it's all for an English newspaper. This is especially true after Murdoch, a tycoon, entered the English media scene. For them, what is fair, what is objective, and what is true is false, and they only want it.

Sensational. It doesn't matter if you're true or fake, and what impact you have on the person, they just need to be sensational. In order to attract attention, they will do everything to make it easier, even if it is fake, it is easy for them. As long as the list of shareholders of Proactive Sports Management comes out, even if they are innocent, the media will be able to portray them as black and gold deals. Not to mention that they are not clean.

"This guy will be busy then."

"Middlesbrough really don't give up."

Stretford saw Middlesbrough scurrying around like a headless fly, and pouted in contempt. Because Middlesbrough is in the process of bringing in Thiem. When Cahill was unsuccessful, he immediately shifted his target. They offer Queens Park Rangers striker Crouch. Crouch scored 12 goals in one season with Queens Park Rangers, a lower-tier league that has also caught the eye of some Premier League teams. There are many clubs interested in him.

Chopped. Crouch wasn't just Middlesbrough as the buyer, so he quickly approached the buyer and seller to close the deal. Crouch moved to Portsmouth from Queens Park Rangers for £3 million. And Portsmouth's head coach at this time is none other than Sretford's co-coach Redknapp.

But it's not over. Soon Middlesbrough struck again, this time targeting Sheffield United in England's third tier. Sheffield United's Academy graduate, 19-year-old centre-back Jagielka.

Stretford were very ruthless and blocked the transfer again. However, unlike Premier League clubs and League One clubs who are afraid of Stretford, teams in lower leagues like Sheffield United are not afraid of the first agent like Stretford. So in order to convince Sheffield United, Stretford said that they would support the conditions of the Sheffield United players, so that Sheffield United signed a new contract with Jagielka. Sheffield United were satisfied with the promise from Stretford.

Middlesbrough then sent an invitation to West Ham United, hoping to bring in West Ham Academy player Michael Carrick. Because Redknapp and West Ham United have fallen out, Stretford does not have much influence at West Ham United at the moment. So he had to find Carrick and convince Carrick's agent, David. Kiyes, keeping Carrick at West Ham.

More than a few times, Stretford also noticed that something was wrong. Where is there a transfer that is so aimless and spreads a wide net. But he couldn't get out of it.

Middlesbrough is like a monkey, offering everywhere. Of course, Middlesbrough are attacking everywhere, but they are not really completely random. Those players are all needed by Middlesbrough, and if there is no Stretford, it is just the right time to bring in, and if there is a block, then continue like this. Anyway, the whole Stretford was very troubled, he didn't expect Middlesbrough to play this hand with him.

Fortunately, he has a dense network of various relationships in English football, and although he owes a lot of favors for a while, it can be regarded as blocked. Every morning he woke up hoping that Middlesbrough would not continue to toss now. And he found out that Middlesbrough was all about fighting him, and didn't bother Jerome. Anderson and a few other homegrown agents.

Recently, he was a little depressed, and his face became even more ugly after reading the morning newspaper. Because it turned out to be "The Times", with a big headline written in the sports section.

"Selling the left hand to the right hand, who is profiting?"

He immediately looked through the other newspapers and found that they were all the same.

"Black gold?"

"How can fairness be guaranteed?" (To be continued......)
