Chapter 23: New Season Declaration

Although she was forced to dress up by Shania, the two-day holidays were still very pleasant for Tang En. He really hated being forced to do anything by others, but he also had to separate a partner. If the little girl forced him... he didn't mind.

As long as it can make Shania happy, what is this effort?

Seventeen-year-old Xianya has to take on the responsibility of work at a young age. She does work that she doesn't like. When she can make her smile, maybe she can only spend time with herself.

In front of others, he wants to be a world supermodel, pay attention to his image, pay attention to his words and deeds, and even maintain his expression at all times, in order to maintain a perfect image under the eyes of unknown angles - this is just the perfect image they hope for, not the real Xianya.

Only in front of Tang En, in front of this man who she calls "Uncle Tony", can she put down those masks and live easily and truly.

The topic is a little heavy, but it is a fact.

Don't have two days off in the blink of an eye, and Shania is going to return to Milan, Italy to continue working.

At London Heathrow Airport, her agent, Mr. Fasal, thanked Tang En very solemnly for having fun with Shania during the past two days.

"If there is nowhere... I really want to relax." Tang En waved his hand with a smile, "When you are with the little girl, you will forget all your worries. Mr. Fasar, although I hate agents very much, you are different. You are a good agent.

No matter how famous Xianya is, she is still a child. Please protect her."

Fasar nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Tangen. The new season is about to begin, and I wish you good luck."

The two men held hands together.

After seeing off Shania and Fasal, Donn sat on the steps outside the terminal building and called Randy, the taxi driver, and asked him to pick him up.

Hang up the phone. Tang En sat bored on the steps and looked up at the sky.

Maybe you should really buy yourself a car?

A huge roar sounded, and a silver-white plane flew past the sky directly above Tang En's head.

The idea of ​​buying a car only existed in Tang En's mind for an afternoon.

The next morning when he went to the training base with Tang, he thought it would be better to walk. On the one hand, he exercised, and on the other hand, he could think about problems while walking without worrying about a car accident.

The first thing to do when resuming training is to deal with the transfer. Anelka has not found a suitable new owner, Mark Viduka's agent notified the club. His client hopes to transfer.

The reason is very simple, and Tang En also understood: In this forest team now, there is no Viduka's position. He is unwilling to play as a substitute. So leaving is the best choice.

Viduka knew very well that when the club bought Van Nistruei, he knew that in this team, he could not have his own position as the main player. If he played as a substitute, he could not accept it, after all, he was still in his year of playing.

Donn also knows that after having Van Nistruy and Bentner, Viduca's living space has become smaller and smaller. It would be nice to let him go and earn a transfer fee.

Middlesbrough hoped to introduce Viduka, and they offered 5 million pounds. Don N refused without saying a word.

Viduka is also the main striker of the Forest team in the first two seasons. The Forest team's achievements today are inseparable from Viduka's efforts. The second-place striker in the Premier League is only worth 5 million pounds? Don't accept it.

However, he did not close the doors and windows of the transfer to death, but left Middlesbrough with the opportunity to continue bargaining. He hoped that Miburg could continue to raise the quotation. If he was really sincere to Viduka, please give a sincere quotation!

At that time, it cost 6 million pounds to buy Viduka in Nottingham Forest. It was about to sell it. No matter how... it cannot be lower than this price.

Don't have a no-brainer for less than £6 million.

After some bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement, Middlesbrough paid a down payment of 4 million pounds, and then paid another installment of 2 million and 500,000 pounds within twelve months, with a total price of 6.5 million.

Buy the Australian center Mark Viduka, whom they have long been interested in.

Next, Donn loaned Chris Commons to Watford, where he had just been promoted to the Premier League, hoping Commons would get enough time to play there.

To appease Commons, before deciding to lend him a loan, Donn also gave him a new four-year contract.

The treatment is not high on the team, mainly to show the team's confidence and commitment to him - in the next four years, you will still be a member of Nottingham Forest.

It was not just Matthew Epson and Mark Viduca, as well as Forest’s second substitute goalkeeper Barry Roche. He was sold to the Championship team Leicester City for 2.7 million pounds.

With Akinfeyev returning a year later, the goalkeeper's position is gone in the Nottingham Forest.

After cleaning up these necessary extra personnel, Tang En achieved the goal of streamlining the team and improving combat effectiveness. Now those who stayed must be players with strong strength.

Compared with the general number of registered players in Premier League clubs exceeding 30, Nottingham Forest, which has a 23-person roster, is a "small team".

But Tang En firmly believes that all these twenty-three people are good players, and there is no one to make a living here, and those who stay will definitely be useful to the team.

Just after completing the team's streamlining work, George Wood's agent came to the door again.

“I’m not here to inform the club that George is going to transfer, although I know that the team has sold some people recently.

"Sitting on the sofa in Don't En's office, agent Wuks crossed his legs and said leisurely, "Now the Forest team is in such a good momentum, only fools will consider transferring."

This is the truth.

"However, as we all know, there are many giant clubs in European football that are optimistic about Wood. But Wood refused one by one... Then.

"Woox put down his legs, stopped his waist, and said seriously, "In order to repay George's loyal behavior, shouldn't the club express it?"

After hearing this, Tang En responded quietly: "Okay, how about giving him a box of milk for welfare tomorrow?"

"Mr. Tony Donne!" Wuks raised the volume.

"If you want to get a salary increase, just say it. There is no need to be so roundabout." Donn sneered at Wux's attitude.

Wuks crossed his legs again: "It's good that you know. If you want to retain important players in the team, then you need to improve his treatment so that he feels that his efforts and gains are proportional to his gains."

"I think George is very satisfied with his current income."

"That's what you think." Wux was not outdone. "I still think his treatment is too low now. What is the salary standard for players selected for the national team? You won't know, Mr. Tang?"

Generally speaking, once a player is successfully selected into the national team, even if he is not playing in a single game, his net worth will rise with the agent's operation. The compensation for going out for advertising endorsements, the team's internal salary and bonus must be increased.

That's what Woox is doing now.

"The captain of the second-place team in the Premier League last season and the second-place team in the European Champions League was selected for the English national team and participated in the German World Cup. The team's most indispensable figure and the only core that cannot be rotated... Is it worth 15,000 pounds per week? This number will make people laugh, Mr. Don.

"Wukes's speech is sharp. He is no less than Tang En's verbal skills.

"When you spend a lot of money on the transfer market to buy one well-known star after another, don't you think about giving the most diligent and important people in the team a new promise?"

Don stared at Woox and did not answer immediately.

He had to admit this in his heart—this sentence was flawless. He could hardly find a reason to refute.

"But we just updated the contract..."

"That doesn't matter. The player's value is always fluctuating. A year ago, who could have expected George to have achieved what he is today? We obviously underestimated his ability, so we also underestimated his value. Now, it's time to correct this mistake.

”

Tang En sighed. Although this agent was hateful, at least he did not instigate George to consider transferring and leaving. No matter what, Wood is the most important person for the Forest team now, the team and his future.

Evan once said that if Wood is tempted by the outside world, no matter what the price he pays, he must be kept.

The weekly salary of 15,000 pounds is indeed too low for Wood...

"Okay, make your request. Earl of the vampire, Earl of Woods."

Hearing this sarcasm, Billy Woox was not annoyed, but instead smiled and reported his request: "75,000 pounds, weekly salary."

Despite his mental preparation, Tang En took a breath when he heard this number.

"You're surprised, Mr. Donne?" Wux looked at Donne with his head tilted his head, "I think this number is reasonable. Van Nistruy is currently the highest salary for the team, 85,000 pounds. Shouldn't the team's captain enjoy almost the same treatment?"

"Do I still want to thank you for not making a weekly salary requirement of 140,000 pounds in one breath?" Tang En sneered.

"I don't want to break the salary balance of your club." Wux replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern for the club's financial situation." Tang En said with a straight face. "But now the player contract negotiations are no longer under my control." He lied.

He suddenly thought that someone was more suitable to deal with the greedy guy in front of him than himself. "Especially the contract of important players."

"Um?"

"You can talk to Mr. Allen Adams about George Wood's salary increase request. He is now in his office. He must be happy to go find him."

Looking at Tang En's smile, Wuks knew that this was Tang En's strategy. But even if he knew, Tang En obviously didn't want to talk to him about this issue, but he didn't refuse, just changed someone else.

As a player's agent and a successful person in the market, Woods has long heard of the current marketing manager of Nottingham Forest Club and knows that he is not an easy person to deal with.

It seems that the Forest team doesn't want to pay that money so easily.

When Wux was stunned, Tangen picked up the phone, dialed it to Alan Adams, and told him about this. Alan agreed to leave it to him.

"Mr. Billy Woods." Don said to Wood's agent, "I have notified Mr. Allen Adams. He hopes you go to the office to talk to him about this matter now."

At this point, what else can I do? Should I turn around and leave and stop talking about a raise? That won't work. Woox decided to meet that Allen.

Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to give Tang En a thumbs up: "Pass the ball beautifully, Mr. Tang En."

Tang En smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you for your praise. Goodbye, Mr. Woox."

After kicking Wood's salary increase to Allen Adams, Donn ignored it. He was all about leading the team training and the last two warm-up matches.

This new season is coming.

The negotiations between Billy Woods and Alan Adams were originally going slowly. Alan doesn't seem to be in a hurry to reach an agreement with Woods, anyway, Wood's contract will be several years away. The club's attitude is that of course the salary increase will be increased, but not so high.

To put it bluntly, the Forest team is not a wealthy team that can spend money like money now, and the salary structure of the players must be strictly controlled.

But Woox believes that the team is not sincere. He is so mean to his future captain, can he still ask them to be generous to other players?

The two sides were in a stalemate until the media suddenly exposed that George Wood was negotiating the contract renewal with the club.

Don was originally not interested in the topic of dog-biting dogs. He only cared whether George Wood's condition was affected during training. But soon he found out that he was wrong.
To be continued...
