Chapter 28 Opportunities that must be seized!
Even if Ollillie resigns in Ridzdale's heart, Leeds's coaching position does not belong to Song, and he is not even a substitute. The first person Ridzdale remembers is Robson, the former Iron Blood Captain of England!
“NO!!”
In the office of the chairman of Yaqi Town, Robson's eyes were glaring like a tiger with a glaring eyes. He now even had the heart to eat Ridzdale!
When the director announced at the press conference this morning that he had accepted the news of Ollie's resignation, he was still surprised, but when Ridzdale looked for him, the surprise turned into a secret joy. Who doesn't want to coach the White Rose now? The young player, with a strong foundation and vigorous spirit, even assistant coach Song led the team to defeat Liverpool. It doesn't matter if such a team encounters some trouble. At least it will be smooth after being carried over.
But the moment Ridzdale put the conditions in front of him, Robson felt that this was an insult. The once Iron-blooded captain of England was now facing...
First of all, there is no transfer right.
Secondly, if the club needs to sell anyone for debt, they must not complain to any media!
Finally, you must handle the team's relationship well at any time and do not allow the locker room relationship to continue to deteriorate.
"This is England!!!" Robson couldn't stand it anymore. If the club had financial problems, he could accept a coach position without a transfer fee, or even a coach position without a salary. However, a coach position without a transfer right is not a coach position in the Premier League!
England's iron-blooded captain succeeded Oliley, but he couldn't get the transfer right? Why! How is the difference between him and Oliley??!!!
Why don’t you say it’s bad if you don’t get started!!
As he got up, Robson turned around and walked out of the chairman's office, without even saying hello, and went back to his office area to pack up his things. He stopped doing it.
Now Ridzdale and the director were completely stupid. If Leeds, who has no head coach or even no acting head coach, appears on the court, it will make people laugh out loud? How will the media report it then? What do fans think? What do you say with your peers? Do you want your face!!!
Ridzdale stared at her eyes and gritted her teeth. He hated Olire to death now. Isn't this digging a hole for him to jump as the chairman?
"Damn Ollillie, don't think you can't survive Leeds!" Ridzdale was very angry and gritted his teeth in anger!
The director wore glasses and said tremblingly as if facing a generation of tyrants: "I didn't expect Robson to be like this..."
"It's because our conditions are too harsh, but the important question is, if the bank doesn't force me, why should I make things difficult for these head coaches? Am I crazy?"
"Sir, what do you think of Dave?" the director suggested.
Ridzdale really wanted to throw the coffee cup in front of him on the director's face, opened his mouth and cursed: "How about you think I'd like to invite Oliley back to be the chairman?" This is simply an idiot suggestion. Who doesn't know that Dave is Oliley's follower? How can you mention this name at this time?
"Warren is not someone who can partner with the big rank... Karen asked for leave yesterday before the Ollile incident happened, and his wife gave birth to... Mr. Chairman!" The director continued to propose.
Ridzdale was startled by the director's surprise: "Thank you for your shouting, I'm not deaf yet!"
"Mr. Chairman, we can't find a suitable head coach at the moment, but there is one suitable acting head coach!" said the director.
Ridzdale immediately turned his head and said, "Who?"
"Song! Mr. Chairman, Song Gang has just led the team to defeat Liverpool. He is the most trustworthy person for the players. What's more, the club's training plan and tactical flow chart are all made based on Song's data. That is to say, Song has our foundation, and he may not be the one who revitalizes Leeds, but being an assistant coach is definitely qualified."
Ridzdale turned his head and planned not to ask the director for his opinion again. He felt that hiring the director was the biggest mistake. He grabbed the phone and directly called Warren's phone number. Even if he died, he would not let a Chinese be the head coach, even if he was interim head coach, it would not work.
"Sorry, you called to turn off the phone."
Ridzdale was stunned. How could the coach's phone number of his club be turned off?
Then he called Dave again: "Sorry, you called to turn off the phone..."
Another one that shuts down?
I called several phone calls in a row, but I didn’t even get a single phone call!!!
Should I pull Karen back from my wife who had just given birth??
"Sir, don't call, these people are hired by Olilay..." The director's meaning is obvious, and someone in Leeds is rebelling.
Ridzdale threw down the phone. He was arbitrary, and arbitrary is also a kind of decision. Although it is different from decisiveness, arbitrary is also a kind of decision!
...
Song Shiwan sat quietly in the bedroom without a TV. He liked quiet, especially when he was in a bad mood and was drunk.
He could understand why Miguel only cared about his own data and was unwilling to make any promises to him, because in the eyes of Europeans now, the East is a football desert, and it is impossible for Orientals to coach European teams at all. This kind of discrimination in the bone has never changed.
This was a blow to Song Shiwan, a major blow. He had just proved his ability with the game between Leeds and Liverpool, but was looked down upon by Espanyol. This sense of humiliation even made Song Shiwan want to ruin the whole world.
However, he was too calm, as if he was frozen. Even if the flames in his heart burst out, he still didn't want to show it in an environment where no one paid attention to it. The time has not come, and when the time has come... Lee-Bower may be the end of Miguel and Atletico Madrid.
When, when, when, when.
The knock on the door rang at this moment.
The annoying knock on the door sounded, and Song Shiwan was a little dazed. He didn't even look like he was going to open the door, but...
When he walked out of the bedroom, Song Shiwan did not rush to open the door. He went to the bathroom to tidy up himself, so that he would definitely not look disappointed or decadent. He then tidied up the coffee table in the living room, and then walked to the front of the door and opened the door lock.
Click!
At that moment, Song Shiwan looked at Ridzdale standing at the door of the room, and suddenly fell into an unprepared situation because he never thought Ridzdale would come. Yes, the assistant coach might become a firefighting coach in the Premier League, but Song Shiwan never thought that such a thing would fall on him. Miguel, a Spaniard, could not accept his yellow skin. If the rigid England would accept it, there would be a ghost!
Then what did he do? After Ollillie left, he kicked himself away and settled his salary? It is impossible. Even if he settled his salary, he should go to Yaqi Town to collect it himself, instead of Rizdale delivering it himself. In Rizdale's eyes, he is nothing at all!
"Song, aren't you going to invite us in?"
Song Shiwan was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, sorry, please come in."
After entering the room, the director quickly spoke before Song Shiwan closed the door: "Song, something happened to the club. Someone needs to stand up. We, the players, and the fans all think you are very suitable. You performed very well in the game against Liverpool. We hope you can continue to lead the team to the next game until... we find the new head coach."
Head coach!!!
Is it an opportunity or a trap?
Song Shiwan couldn't tell the difference for a moment. He sat on the other side of the sofa and looked at Chairman Leeds in front of him. He wanted to see something, but in the end he got nothing.
Then the director began to talk endlessly, such as "based on the love for the club" and "helping the club through the danger" and other wonderful words, all were used on Song Shiwan. Song Shiwan had been listening very carefully, but he found that he had not heard two words at all, and these two words were - contract!
"etc."
Song Shiwan interrupted the director and stood up very rudely. He found that he could not think anything without holding a calculator in his hand!
Turning around and entering the bedroom, taking out the calculator, and when he returned to the living room again and sat next to Ridsdale, he asked: "Mr. Chairman, if I heard correctly, the Director just invited me to be the interim head coach for Leeds, or at least the interim head coach for Leeds in this game at Lakeside Stadium, right?"
Ridzdale turned his head and looked at the director beside him. He was also listening to the director's words just now, not thinking that there was any loophole in the director's words, so he replied: "That's right."
The director was stunned and said in vain after he had been talking for a long time? This Chinese Song didn't listen to a single word!
Song Shiwan smiled on his face and inexplicably entered a special state. While his fingers kept clicking on the calculator, his mouth kept flying up and down: "The club came to me at this time, not only to prove that the club is in trouble, but also proved... I am just a substitute. Oh, a temporary substitute."
"No, I shouldn't be a substitute No. 1. Karen, the one in the entire coaching team who has a closest relationship with Mr. Chairman, should be Karen. He is the well-known 'post-party'. He will take the initiative to hide any secrets from him. If he wasn't the interim head coach at this time, it would be a bit difficult to understand."
"The second substitute should be Brian Robson. The glory of the player era and the ability to read games in the midfield are indispensable conditions for becoming a coach. In addition, Robson was originally the iron-blooded captain of the England national team, and it is the most suitable to suppress Leeds players who are becoming increasingly inconsistent. What's more, Robson carefully observes every time Oliley says anything, and wants to record all the details of Oliley's coaching. He and I are one of the few coaches in Yaqi Town who can take notes. Robson's expectations and enthusiasm for the position of the head coach are completely unaware of others. For example, any club has decided to hire Robson as the head coach. Without salary and transfer fees, the probability of Robson taking office is as high as 95%!"
"As the chairman of a club, he gave up the person who was placed in the coaching staff, and at the same time he gave up the iron-blooded captain of England, and even gave up Dave, Warren, and Sutton, who is most familiar with Ollie's coaching style. He found someone who had no professional experience, had less than a year of assistant coaching, and had just gotten into trouble and only played a game as an acting head coach and became the interim head coach... Sorry, this probability is less than 1%.
Song Shiwan continued to calculate: "There is a reason for such a small probability of time. Since Robson can be the head coach without salary and transfer fees, but the club has not negotiated with him, the reason must be humiliating, or in other words, the concept is not consistent. In the coaching circle in England, there is its own tradition, and many different concepts will be understood as humiliation. For example, when you take office, you inform Robson that the club will sell a certain player when he takes office..."
"Uh, or not exactly that. If you just help the club sell a certain player, Robson should be able to understand. After all, our financial situation is not good. Ferdinand's departure can fully prove this. Or, you might as well take Robson's transfer right away!" Song Shiwan's eyes were raised when he raised his eyes at the calculator and saw Ridzdale's surprise. At this moment, the words 99 on the calculator were quickly cleared, and he filled in 100!
"For the Premier League head coach, the transfer right is a reverse scale that is not allowed to be touched. This is the responsibility of the head coach or manager, and it is one of the conditions for fans to evaluate the head coach or manager. Depriving a head coach of the transfer right is equivalent to telling everyone that this Premier League head coach only has tactical awareness, has a very poor vision of buying and selling players and running clubs, which is completely unacceptable in England!"
"Only in this way, Robson will refuse without hesitation!"
"Am I right? Mr. Chairman?"
Ridzdale wanted to interrupt Song Shiwan several times before this, but when he heard it now, he could no longer interrupt, and could not even say a complete sentence: "Uh..."
"Please let me finish it first." Song Shiwan said after saying this: "This is England. English people have a natural sense of superiority in football. Not to mention that I, an Asian, even if the coaches from other European football powers want to survive in this circle, they must have absolute results, otherwise they will not have the right to speak. In other words, in your choice of coaches, I, a person from the football desert, will definitely be ranked last, and any candidate from other coaching teams will be ahead of me according to the ranking."
"So, the reason you're here today is that you have to choose a choice that you can't choose. This is the only way to keep Leeds from being ridiculed or being ridiculed lightly. Leeds can't appear on the field without any coaches. That is to say, either Leeds' entire coaching staff was taken away by Oliley, or they chose to strike!"
When Song Shiwan looked at Ridzdale's eyes, he was full of confidence. He had extremely strong confidence in his calculations: "So, Chairman, Mr. Director, who will tell me what harsh conditions have prevented Robson and other coaches from becoming the club's interim head coach? I think our cooperation needs to be honest."
An unexpected thing happened, and a small calculator actually calculated the whole story!
In fact, there is no accuracy in the calculation of this matter. Song Shiwan just calculated a fixed number based on his own analysis and the values shown in each coach. For example, after each training, Robson would discuss training and tactics with Olilai and discuss data analysis with himself. These things can prove his yearning for the head coach position. For example, the coaches on the training ground in Yaqi Town can lead the players to conduct a day of training without being there, which means that they know the club and Olilai better than themselves.
Don’t forget that Song Shiwan is not only a data talent, but also a data analyst. Analysis is very important.
With these two points as the basis, plus the newspaper information outside the door, everything became simple. Song Shiwan could even say something without a calculator, but he was used to using a calculator to calculate something.
"All right."
For the first time, Ridzdale felt like he was caught in the pulse gate. This feeling was very bad, but he had no other way, otherwise he would never choose Song Shiwan to be the interim head coach. Leeds' financial situation prevented him from surrendering to Olilai, nor could he surrender to the entire coaching staff, and Song Shiwan became the last life-saving straw before Leeds VS Middlesbrough!
"78.9 million." Song Shiwan took a breath when Ridzdale said this number!
Song Shiwan knew that this was the total amount of debts owed by Leeds United now. It is not necessary to explain how to repay the loan. No matter how much money is paid, it will become a mountain that will press on Leeds.
"Repayment is divided into three installments every year, with nearly 8 million yuan each. Last year, due to our investment, the repayment has been delayed. It was not until Ferdinand sold this year that he replaced his loan last year, about 24 million yuan. In 2002, if we couldn't get a broadcast fee that was enough to get us out of debt, we might still have to fill the vacancies in the club by selling people. I had already sold Viduka. Song, do you understand why I refused to even 1.5 million Olilai?"
Originally, Song Shiwan calculated so much data, and exposed Ridzdale's intentions just to exchange for the transfer rights of the interim head coach. Now, Leeds's coaching position has become a hot potato. If anyone gets it, it will be equivalent to taking over 78.9 million pounds of debt! As Song Shiwan, who has no experience in head coaching, how can you pay back this money? Even if you can be a "human trafficker" in football, you can pay it back, why should he fill such a huge loss for you, Ridzdale?
"Is that right? Leeds has invested a total of about 140 million yuan in sales over the years, and now there are nearly 80 million yuan in debt left after selling people one after another. Mr. Ridzdale, the bank must have forced you to force you very tightly, and even left you with no room to take a breath. In addition, you said before, after dragging the bank's debt for a whole year, Leeds is afraid that Leeds will not even have credibility now. In other words, Leeds will have to sell people before the repayment period, and it is still not necessary to ask the price, and the other party will sell it for as long as it gives. Finally, short Leeds."
After Song Shiwan said this quietly, "Then let's think about it. If Mr. Ridzdale told all this to the head coach to hire in the future, will there be a coach coming to Leeds if he has no transfer rights and the lineup cannot be fixed? Well, I know this is not a question I should consider, but what I want to say is, this is a question you two must consider, right?"
"Well, why not change the idea. If, I mean, in this case, there is a head coach who can guarantee the winning rate and the repayment period is not delayed, but he only has a little request. Would you consider giving him a half-season contract and let him try it in the head coach position? Of course, there will be several terms in this contract that will be fired at any time."
"First of all, if the repayment period is delayed, the head coach who signed a half-season contract will be fired."
"Secondly, if you don't get the Champions League qualification, the coach will be fired."
"In the end, if he can't solve the locker room problem, the coach will be fired."
"This head coach will never have any requirements for salary and benefits. The only requirement is that the board of directors needs to hand over the transfer right and can only sell the candidates designated by the head coach and buy the person the head coach wants. After half a year, if both parties feel it is appropriate, they are discussing a formal contract."
Ridzdale was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked as if he had heard it wrong: "Do you want to be the head coach of Leeds in the second half of the season?"
Song Shiwan shrugged and returned the calculator to Ridzdale and said, "Please ask Mr. Chairman to calculate Viduka's transfer fee to help you maintain several repayment periods, how much repair costs will be consumed in Yaqi Town and Elland Road. After all this, if you have a better candidate than me... when I didn't say it."
Chapter completed!
