"Tottenham Hotspur? Tottenham Hotspur?" Li Bin didn't feel surprised when he heard the name.
Although there are many teams in the Premier League, the team's funds, facilities, and foundation in all aspects are pretty good, that is, there are only a few teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, and other teams,
All slightly worse.
When it comes to history, Southampton and Everton are also good, not to mention Nottingham Forest, which has been in decline for a long time. However, these teams are basically poor. The owner of Southampton is still a rich man in England, but
The annual investment is less than 3 million - this is the team with the most investment in English League One. We expect them to rise unless there is a miracle.
And some other teams, such as West Ham United and Manchester City, although they have no results, they have a really good foundation. Unfortunately, teams like West Ham United lack enough ambition and they don’t want to
They only want to make the team bigger and better, but they just want to maintain the current situation of the team and make some money by selling players. To make the team bigger, the cost will be high. They may not be happy with this kind of thing.
Therefore, Li Bin also thought of it early. In the end, most of the teams Martins contacted were Tottenham or Newcastle - of course, if Chelsea changed coaches, he might also give it a try.
"I asked many teams in the Premier League, and the most likely and most worthwhile one is Tottenham. They are willing to provide you with an annual salary of 4.5 million, and guarantee that you will have a net investment of 30 million for transfers in the summer.
I'm also happy for you to be in charge of the team's transfer matters - of course, the ball
The team manager has to stay, and you have to ask the chairman for instructions if you have something to do. It's impossible to give you all the say, but you don't ask for that, right? It can be said that they agreed to almost all the conditions you proposed, and
There are almost no requirements and we will give it to the one with the most favorable conditions.”
"Are they willing to accept such harsh conditions?" Li Bin was originally prepared to leave room for bargaining to the team, but Tottenham was willing to accept it completely, so he naturally would not object. What surprised him was that he accepted such harsh conditions.
What are Tottenham doing?
"The main reason is that their performance this season is too poor. The season is almost over. Their performance, let alone the European competition, is a bit uncertain to enter the top ten. In the summer of 2007, they invested a total of 50 million.
But even with this bullshit result, they still have to be brave enough to ask for it. They spent money but got no results, but they are still at the forefront of the league. Tottenham have played tricks this season."
Tottenham's current performance is indeed very bad. They have fallen to the middle and lower reaches of the league, and now they can be said to be in a state of decline. What is even more embarrassing is that their results are based on spending 50 million in the summer.
Kicked out - but saw them 2
5 million bought Darren Bent and 15 million bought young player Bale. It’s no wonder they were too bad. This is basically the replica of Liverpool buying Carroll for 35 million and Downing for 25 million in the future. Canada
Betting on new Premier League stars is just crazy.
No wonder they fully accepted Li Bin's conditions: even if Li Bin didn't go, their expenses would not be less, and they would have to change the team's manager or scouting director, and they still wouldn't change after doing such nonsense.
The management, that's what's wrong. And if Li Bin goes, they will just leave everything to Li Bin.
As for the fact that there are no performance requirements, it is also normal: for a team that has been ranked tenth or higher in the league, what performance requirements are there to talk about? Could it be that the performance requirements are just for the team to get a spot in the European competition? That is too shameful.
"Other teams are basically out of luck. Newcastle are too poor. I guess it will be difficult for them not to go bankrupt next year. Not to mention the transfer fee, it is also a problem to pay you wages. But Chelsea is somewhat interested in you.
But I got in touch with the upper management of their team. Abramovich has very strict requirements on performance. Moreover, he also has his favorite coach, a
It's Scolari, and the other is Hiddink - in the past two years, he has become interested in the national team coach, but is no longer interested in the young coach. They refused to accept any of your conditions. Their senior officials hinted to me, you go
Yes, the salary will be very high, and the transfer fee may be more than you think - but only if Abramovich is in the mood. If he is not in the mood, then don't talk about it."
Sure enough, there is not much hope for other places.
"The best place for you to contact is Tottenham? It seems a little inferior." Looking at Martins' suggestion, Li Bin also smiled bitterly.
"Actually, a place like this is more suitable for you. First of all, in terms of performance, they don't have many requirements - since the establishment of the Premier League, Tottenham's points have never exceeded 70 points. 70 points, no matter how bad you are,
It's not like you can't get it, right? You can easily break their team history record, especially now that Tottenham has almost hit the bottom, and now it's time to rebound. If you go there, it's easy to start and take over.
Relaxed, no pressure.”
And then there is the investment from Tottenham. When you get there, your reputation is here, and they must obey your opinions. For example, I raised it with them, and if you go there, the scouting director must be replaced by you.
people, they have no objection. When it comes to the Premier League, everything there will definitely require major surgery, and it is a good thing to have enough space to do things. Moreover, Tottenham is relatively rich after all. You can check it yourself
,
Over the years, Tottenham's investment has always been among the top in the Premier League. Although its results are not among the top four, its spending is definitely among the top four. I think they can do it with an investment of 30 million a season. Even Tottenham
The boss of Tottenham told me that if you come this year, he can give you enough freedom. For example, who of the current Tottenham players can be sold, who can be retained, and how much money has been sold, all of which can be invested for you.
On the market.”
"Nonsense, Tottenham has such a bad ranking this year. If I are not allowed to have major surgery in such a ranking, won't I have to continue to be ruined next year? They are not stupid." Li Bin hesitated, "I have always heard that Tottenham
The boss has the idea of divestment, and he
Our Jewish boss seems to be very stingy. I am not worried about anything else. I am just worried that they are unwilling to continue to invest money. After the coaches signed the agreement with the team, there were not a few coaches who were cheated by the team. Therefore, I also have to
Ask clearly, you cannot suffer this loss."
"I don't think you need to worry about this. There is a big problem here that you need to pay attention to:
The 2012 Olympics will be held in London. For this reason, a new stadium is being built in London. I believe you know that it has been planned for a long time. Ground will be broken in May. After the new stadium is built,
Everyone is discussing the role after the Olympics. Tottenham, West Ham United and Leyton Orient are the most promising
Teams that may use the new stadium as their own stadium. If they want to compete for this stadium, the most important thing is to have enough results and financial support. Tottenham's finances are not a problem, all they need is to have enough results.
Only then can he help them compete for the ownership of the new stadium. And if the new stadium is moved, he
Their income can be increased a lot - White Hart Lane is a small stadium with a capacity of 36,000 people, and the size of the new stadium is a large stadium with more than 80,000 people, which can greatly increase the team's income -
Tottenham are Arsenal's mortal enemy. They all see how much Arsenal's income has increased after moving to the new stadium.
If they can relocate to a big stadium and the team's performance is better, their team can immediately make a lot of money. They understand this. Even if their boss wants to sell the team, they must keep the team at a high point.
Only then can we throw it out, and the Jews will not make too many mistakes when it comes to money issues."
"Also, it depends on how you say Tottenham are stingy." Martins continued, "When they buy players, they especially like to bargain. They can often argue for a long time over a player's worth of 1 million, and sometimes it's just
This delayed the transaction
, so people say they are stingy, but in fact they have always spent a lot of money. However, on the other hand, they also have the habit of budgeting carefully, but they just lack some courage. Once you go there, you can inject courage into them, which is just right.
Take them forward."
"Why do I still think you got the benefit?"
"I'm an agent - I won't hide it from you. The way Tottenham is now, once you take over, the seller will be able to sell the person for a lot of money immediately. Just Berbatov and Robbie Keane,
That's a lot of money, plus Tottenham agreed to your investment, their transactions this year will exceed 100 million - how could I not covet such a big deal?"
Martins expressed his views very frankly, which also made Li Bin think.
Speaking of which, Tottenham is indeed a good fit. After all, Tottenham is also a big team in the Premier League. As a team in London City, funding is not a problem. And now, they do have higher goals to pursue, although it is for
Competition for new stadiums will increase the value of the team, but it is still an urgent proposition.
High demand, which also makes them be a little more lenient on themselves. They have money and power, and although the foundation of Tottenham's current players is a bit weaker, many of them are qualified as substitutes when they build their own team.
, it will also be very convenient. These advantages make Li Bin excited.
If there is anything that makes him dissatisfied, it is from his memory that Tottenham are really in bad shape.
In my memory, Tottenham have reached the top four of the Premier League twice. Once when Liverpool fell behind, they entered the Champions League and entered the knockout rounds, but lost in the end. The other time was when Chelsea fell behind, but because of Chelsea
They won the Champions League but were not eligible to play in the Champions League. At other times, their best result was still in the top five, and they lost to their archrival Arsenal in fourth place in the final round.
Leading Tottenham to the top is a big challenge.
"Li, I don't know, why are you so cautious? When you accepted Parma, you could take a gamble even if you were extremely poor and destitute. Now, with Tottenham's good conditions, what's the choice? You were then
Where is his ruthlessness and determination?"
Martins looked at Li Bin who was unsure about paying attention and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"I had nothing at that time. If I lost, I would have to start over again. Of course I didn't care. Now I have a reputation that I have built up with great difficulty. If I lose, I will be doomed. It has not been easy for me to get to this point over the years. Of course I don't want to go astray and start over again.
Fall back." Li Bin shook his head.
"Yes, you'd better make arrangements to avoid problems."
"No need, I just complained a few times that the situation is not satisfactory. I am already very satisfied with Tottenham." Li Bin smiled, "Now that I have climbed to this step, who can make me happy?"
Do I fall back easily?
In my memory, Tottenham have indeed failed to produce results for several consecutive years, but their coach is old Redknapp or Villas-Boas. Who do these coaches count in my eyes now?
What he needs is not destiny, nor their performance in memory. Since Parma can be brought to this step by him, then what is the difficulty in bringing Tottenham to the top of the Premier League?
What he needs is originally just an opportunity. Now that he has the opportunity, it is time for him to leap into a dragon. Parma is a small pond and cannot support himself, but when he comes to Tottenham, this is possible. This
The team's fate is not good, but its strength is extremely satisfactory to Li Bin. How many teams can spend nearly 100 million yuan on the transfer market in one summer?
In this case, why do you still hesitate? Tottenham is Tottenham. Who says that a team like Tottenham can't win the world with one victory?
