I Am a Nobleman in England

In the past in the Premier League, you may have this kind of time and space, but today's league is highly commercialized, every team invests a lot, and there is no room for mistakes. Naturally, the team's management also needed to change their philosophy, and Arthur took Nicholas' words seriously.

After I took over the Southampton club, I will never sell players casually, and if I want to sell, I have to sell the real black shop price!

How beautiful would the picture be if Southampton didn't sell stars?

Nicola Courtis looked at Arthur and said with great emotion: "Even if we all go well and enter the Premier League next year, if we don't play in the Premier League for the championship, we want to get tickets for the Champions League." No play at all.

Nowadays, the decline of Serie A is a recognized fact, and the fairness of La Liga and the financial system of the league are more biased towards wealthy clubs. In contrast to the Premier League, the Premier League's annual dividends for each team are also unmatched by other major leagues.

And only by winning the Champions League tickets, the club's finances will tend to be balanced, and even have a slight surplus. "

Arthur is very satisfied with the Italian's ambition and lofty aspirations. He didn't acquire the Saints for the purpose of rushing to the Premier League and dawdling around as a fish belly or an elevator.

Looking at the world-class attention and influence that the local tyrants from Russia and desert tyrants use their clubs to get, it is simply a supreme weapon for publicity and marketing!

"After acquiring the Saints, I will spend part of the money to solve the club's financial crisis, and at the same time, I will also invest part of the funds. I never thought about how much money it can help me earn." Arthur expressed his attitude.

Nicholas Courtis nodded seriously when he heard what Arthur said, and continued: "Of course, in the Premier League, it's not enough to just talk about money. In fact, the Saints are really a good asset. The Saints also have the resources that the wealthy clubs have. But the Saints' trick is that they can also cultivate young top players.

The players who come out of Southampton's youth training are all sought-after products of major clubs. But we can't develop young players ourselves, just to sell them for a good price. If this continues, it is equivalent to ruining the future of the club. "

"It's a common problem in many small and medium clubs that they can train people, but they can't keep them." At this time, Jerry, a die-hard Saints fan, shook his head with a wry smile.

Coutis also nodded understandingly and said: "This is the key. The club must not only cultivate young top players, but also retain them. Only in this way can the team seize the opportunity to maximize their potential.

According to my years of management experience, players generally leave for high salaries, and Southampton cannot pay players such high salaries like the Premier League clubs.

Therefore, Southampton's advantage in retaining people, apart from feelings, can only be to make players agree with the team's ambitious goals.

If I were the manager of the Southampton club now, no matter what kind of sky-high price was offered by any giant this summer, my answer would be very simple, "No". No kind of sky-high price will make me tempted to sell players. "

Curtis looked at Arthur, the young boss, and explained: "There is no need for that. Although the financial situation of the Southampton club is a bit bad, as long as the boss smoothes it out after the acquisition, there is no need to rely on selling it." players to make up for the shortfall.

first,

We have to formulate a five-year plan, and at the same time the club must have internal motivation to move forward. If you just want to be safe, then you are not far from failure. One of the prerequisites for the club to move forward is that the core of the team must not only stay in the team, but also unite with the team.

If the club can do this, I am confident that within three years Southampton will become a team that can live in the upper and middle reaches of the Premier League. There is even a chance to enter the Champions League. "

Arthur listened to Curtis' confident words and the issue of 'not selling players' all the time, Arthur couldn't help but feel amused. It seemed that this man was very worried that he would not be able to resist after becoming a Saint. The quotations from those giants forced the club to sell players for money.

In fact, Coutis thinks so, and it is normal to take precautions in advance. The owners of clubs are generally businessmen, and they are all animals chasing profits. If a player can sell for 50 to 60 million pounds, who would not be tempted?

"I can promise you that within three years, as long as you can bring the Saints back to the Premier League, I will never interfere with all the normal operations of the club. I can give you the greatest trust and power. I hope you can prove with facts that my The decision is correct. You are worthy of my trust!" Arthur said with a serious expression, looking at Curtis with sharp eyes.

Coutis did not evade the slightest, but solemnly said: "Boss, I also believe in the facts. As long as the club continues to develop according to my five-year plan and achieve the goals at each stage, I have the confidence to lead the Saints to the future. success."

"Hehe, I like your self-confidence. It seems that before you came to see me, you have already considered the overall situation, and you should have a candidate for the head coach, right? Just now, you said that you want to change the head coach." Arthur likes men who are capable and confident.

"Yes, boss, I have indeed thought about the candidate. The current head coach of Scunthorpe, Nigel Adkins, led Scunthorpe to the League One Championship in the 06/07 season and was promoted to the British Championship. In the 2008 season, Scunthorpe was relegated to League One again, but in the 08/09 season, he led the team to win the League One play-off championship and returned to the British Championship again.

He has a wealth of experience in hitting higher-level leagues. As long as he is invited and added to our current lineup, it will not be difficult to return to the British Championship next year. "Cautis introduced to Arthur.

"He has led Scunthorpe to the British Championship, will he choose to leave?" Arthur asked curiously, frowning slightly.

"It will definitely. I saw Scunthorpe's summer trade this year. Not only did the team fail to strengthen, but they sold three core players. In this way, Scunthorpe will undoubtedly have to do another lift. I Thinking, Nigel Adkins as the head coach has definitely had enough of this situation, I can personally convince him, I believe he will choose us, because we have ambitions and bigger goals!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Arthur nodded. Then he looked at Jerry who was on the side and said with a smile: "Hehe, we are happy to talk here, and we are very well prepared. It seems that the saints don't belong to me now! Hehe, Jerry, what do they say?"

"hehe..."

Several people couldn't help laughing at Arthur's ridicule, and Jerry also laughed: "I told them about your offer, and they said the offer was too low to accept, and after some bargaining with them, they offered another 15 million pounds However, they really want to get rid of the burden of saints, and I think the price is very sincere."

"15 million pounds?" Arthur frowned, blinked his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "Although the price is acceptable, it's still a bit high, how about it—"

Arthur raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He looked at Jerry and said, "Call and make an appointment with the major shareholders of the Saints. I'll invite them to meet at Pier 15 tonight. For dinner, I want to chat with them."

Jerry said, "Okay boss, I'll call right away."

"Well, let's go." Arthur said, looking at Jerry who had stood up, and then looked at Kotis and said, "You are also here tonight, I hope you can help me lower the price in the professional field .”

"Boss, what's your psychological price?" Kautis asked.

"My budget is 15 million pounds, but since they are in a hurry to climb ashore, and with the difficulties Southampton is facing now, don't force down the price, I'm sorry for this good opportunity, 12 million to 13 million pounds, save it How much money you have as the manager of the club, so this negotiation is closely related to you." Arthur looked at Kotis with a wry smile and smiled.

"Okay, boss, I'll do my best. I'll go back and sort out the materials of the saints later." Kotis smiled helplessly.

Jiang Lai, who had been sitting quietly beside Arthur and listening to the conversation of several people, looked at Arthur from time to time with a pair of beautiful eyes. He had almost digested Arthur's status as a nobleman or an earl. She was shocked and astonished, mainly because of an accident. She never thought that Arthur would be an earl. An earl who is only 21 years old is really too young.

However, now that she heard about the tens of millions of pounds in business, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she felt that Arthur was such a thug and smart in business at his age, and she had a feeling that he deserved to be rich.

There is also a hint of admiration in the eyes looking at Arthur. At this age, he can calmly control tens of millions of pounds to do business at will. Is this the so-called aristocratic elite education in the UK?

"Buzz—"

At this moment, Arthur's cell phone rang, and Arthur looked it up, with a bright smile on his face, and picked it up.

"Boss, London Gold has cleared all positions at a price range of US$1,049-1,046 per ounce, and has made a profit of more than US$123 million. This time, London Gold has earned a total of more than US$240 million..."

As soon as the phone was connected, he heard Smith Jama report the great news to him in an extremely excited voice. With a smile on his face, Arthur couldn't help shaking his fist excitedly, glanced at it and vaguely heard the content of the phone , and Jiang Lai was dumbfounded again.

Arthur temporarily ignored Jiang Lai, who was completely confused, but took a deep breath and said to the phone: "You have worked hard these two days, go back and have a good rest, and have a relaxing weekend. Don't worry, I won't be stingy Bonus."

"No, boss, that's what I'm supposed to do, and I didn't do anything, just..."

"Okay, I eat meat, so I can't let my own people watch from the sidelines. Let's talk about it later. I still have something to do here, so that's it." Arthur hung up with a smile on his face. Telephone.
