31 rumors

"John Williams?" George put down the phone and was very puzzled. How could this man find himself? He didn't have any friendship with him.

This man is not a big shot in the English football circle, but the one behind him is a very famous person. John Williams is the boss of Blackburn and the representative of the famous steel tycoon Jack Walker.

He is a real power figure in Blackburn. Such a person is not clear to other Premier League clubs, but as the head coach of Burnley, Blackburn's century-old head coach, George is clear.

Now John Williams called George in person to make George not understand what it meant for a while. But George didn't refuse. Anyway, the matter in Sweden has been completed, and it's not a big problem to meet.

............

"Hello, Mr. Williams." John Williams looks unique. Although he is not very old, his beard is white.

When George arrived in Blackburn, he found that John Williams was waiting for George at the door. George walked over with a smile, took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand.

George came to Blackburn this time and disguised himself. Although George coached Burnley and Blackburn for only one game, George is a very unpopular person among Blackburn fans. George doesn't have the courage to rampage around Blackburn. If he is attacked by one or two emotional Blackburn fans, it's not a joke.

"Hello, Coach Levy. I'm sorry, it should be that I came to you." John Williams has all the characteristics of a British gentleman. He is elegant and gentle, and his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"It doesn't matter." George shook his head with a smile. Mr. Williams, I don't quite understand what you mean by looking for me. George doesn't want to beat around the bush. After all, the identities of the two should not have any intersection.

John Williams is not to blame George's directness. Still keep a gentle smile. Coach Levy, I'm not the only one this time. There is another person who wants to see you."

George frowned, and George was very dissatisfied with this nonsensical invitation. What's more unsatisfactory is that this kind of invitation is a rudeness. However, it was very pleasant to see Williams' attitude, so George didn't care to follow.

This is a relatively high-end restaurant in Blackburn. George came to the third floor with Williams. When I saw the person sitting there waiting for me, I was a little shocked. Because sitting there is Jack Walker, the boss of Blackburn.

Although Burnley and Blackburn are a century-old sworn enemy, they still have great respect for Blackburn's boss, George. As a steel tycoon, Jack Walker sold his family steel company in the early 1990s for £330 million. In the 21st century, Jack Walker was one of the 30 richest people in England.

George was familiar with Jack Walker in his last life. After all, since the establishment of the Premier League, the first champion piled up with money was born in Blackburn.

He has been a loyal Blackburn fan all his life. In 1986, he was invited to be the vice president of the club and donated money to build a new stand at Ewood Park, the so-called "Jack Walker Stand", which is now known as the "Riverside Stand". Walker also paid the salaries of the two big stars at that time, Adris and Archibald. Blackburn, who has been in full control of the relegation since the winter of 1991, invested 25 million pounds in the first three years of joining the team, and brought stars such as Hiller and Sutton for the team at the sky-high price at that time. After that, he once again invested 20 million pounds to rebuild the Ewood Park Stadium, and the new Jack Walker Stand was born. Walker's important move in Blackburn was to successfully persuade Dalglish to teach. In the 1994-95 season, the third season after Blackburn's promotion, Dalglish led the team to the top of the Premier League! This miracle is also known as the "Jack Walker Revolution." After that, Walker fell into the battle with cancer. In the summer of 2000, Walker, who was respected as "Uncle Jack" by fans, died. Blackburn, who had been relegated again, comforted the old man's spirit in heaven with the victory of the upgrade battle. Walker also left his last words before his death and will continue to help his lifelong beloved Blackburn with his assets.

Before the Indians entered Blackburn, Blackburn's operating capital had always been managed by the foundation left by Jack Walker. For such an old man who worked hard for a club, George was not hostile to him because he was a rival club.

When he saw George, Jack Walker stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand. George, I'm sorry. I should have visited you. I hope you don't mind. Jack Walker had a loud voice, and when he spoke, he laughed loudly and was very bold.

"Hello, Mr. Walker." George took Jack Walker's hand.

"George, please sit down." Jack Walker gave up a position, and George is now very confused. What's worth it for Jack Walker to find himself?

As soon as George sat down, John Williams poured wine for George. This made George even more flattered. Now George is just a little coach who has just coached the Second Division. Not to mention that compared with a tycoon like Jack Walker, even Williams is weak.

"George, I won't beat around the bush." Jack Walker didn't waste time and came straight to the point as soon as he came up. Dalglish has resigned as coach of Blackburn. I hope you can come to coach Blackburn.

George was stunned, although Blackburn was in decline last season. But after all, last season was the Premier League champion team, and there are many choices if you want to hire a coach. Many famous coaches will be willing to coach Blackburn. How can they find themselves?

"George, although you are young. But I appreciate your year-long coaching in Burnley. I know very well about what happened to you in Burnley. You are very capable. I believe that you are qualified for the coaching position of Blackburn. Your stage should not be in the lower league, but on a broader stage. Jack Walker took George very seriously.

George looked at Jack Walker in astonishment and never thought that Black would come to find him.

But it's absolutely fake that Burnley is not interested in his heart. Now Burnley is just a team that has just been promoted to the First Division. Moreover, Burnley's board of directors is obviously unwilling to continue to invest, so Burnley's development is limited.

But Blackburn is different as the Premier League champion last season. Although Hiller has left this year, the champion team still exists. More importantly, Black himself is supported by a tycoon like Jack Walker. As long as you buy some players and improve the lineup, you will still be a strong contender for the Premier League championship.

Being able to coach Blackburn will definitely take a big step forward in George's coaching career.

Jack Walker saw George's changing look and continued with a smile, "You should have heard that Shearer will move to Newcastle. I can't move a penny after selling 15 million pounds of Shearer. I will definitely wait for the new head coach. If George is willing to be Blackburn's head coach, in addition to Shearer's 15 million pounds, the club is willing to invest another 10 million pounds as your transfer fee in the new season.

Jack Walker's words are like the devil ** George, and 25 million pounds is still a huge sum in this era. In the 21st century, especially after Abrasimovic entered Chelsea, a rich family would be embarrassed to say that they were a strong team without investing 30 to 40 million pounds a year. But in 1996, it was absolutely rare to invest 25 million pounds in a transfer period.

George fully felt the sincerity of Jack Walker, and his heart was slightly moved.

But then I thought of old York and Miranda, as well as former football player Burns, Daniel Morrison, who he trained himself, and Barack, who gradually became a general. Thinking of them, George found that he was already reluctant to part with Burnley and the puzzle of his own players.

Looking at Jack Walker in front of him, George sorted out his thoughts. Mr. Walker, first of all, thank you very much for your trust in me. But I'm very sorry, Burnley and I still have a contract. And I like Burnley. I want to lead Burnley back to the Premier League. This has been my dream since I was a child. I'm very sorry.

"George..." John Williams heard George's answer and was anxious to convince George. But Jack Walker stopped Williams. George, I respect your choice. But I hope you can consider my suggestion. I'm very sincere.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walker." Once he made up his mind, George felt ashamed of the hesitation in his heart just now.

Now I am ready for everything in Burnley. As long as the time is ripe, I will definitely fly to the sky. Why go to Blackburn for the sake of cheapness?

"Okay, George. Although it's a pity, I respect your decision. But George, I hope you understand that when you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Jack Walker is very bold, and there is no cover-up in his expression.

Just one day later, a big title appeared in the football page of The Sun: "The new coach of the former Premier League champion: 28 years old?"
