94 Contract Issues
Although it is the League Cup, Burnley is completely regarded as the Champions League champion. Burnley even had a period of time when alcohol was out of stock in the afternoon, and the fans celebrated from morning to evening. I don't know how many alcoholics there were in Burnley that day.
With Burnley winning the League Cup, Burnley's reputation is also rising in British football. Not only the local media in Burnley, but also other domestic media have attached great importance to it. There is an endless stream of reporters who want to interview the Burnley Club.
"Keller, do you think George is a swift horse? In just three years, we haven't won the championship for 30 years. Barry Kilby stood in front of the window and looked at the leisurely road of the training ground.
Since Burnley won the League Cup, more fans have watched Burnley's training. Of course, there are also many sneaky people, most of whom are scouts sent by other clubs.
Now there are not many doubts about Burnley's promotion to the Super League, and he has entered the League Cup finals and FA Cup finals in a row. Now he has defeated the powerful Chelsea and won the League Cup final. This made the young players in Burnley's lineup begin to attract attention, and the number of scouts in major clubs on the training ground has gradually increased.
There are scouts from Premier League clubs and some scouts from foreign clubs.
But Burnley did not prohibit these people from entering and leaving. Anyway, Burnley Training Ground could not completely prohibit them from entering. When he encountered the poaching of Premier League or foreign clubs in League One, Burnley didn't have much room to fight back.
But now Burnley is about to be a Premier League team, and George still has great confidence to retain the backbone players in the team.
"Barry, did you find George's talent when you chose George?" Now all Burnley fans are praising Kilby, saying that he has a unique vision and found George after the relegation.
Even Burnley's board of directors even praised Kilby for choosing George as the wisest choice. The improvement of his achievements made Kilby's position in Burnley's board of directors.
"Wrong, it's not me. Although I have always been a member of Burnley's board of directors, George was just an ordinary coach and had nothing to do with me. How could I know his ability? There are not many words I said to George before. Barry Kilby shook his head with a smile.
"At that time, I just joined Burnley and wanted to replace Jimmy. At that time, Burnley's board of directors elected Thompson, and I privately asked Jimmy who could take charge of Burnley in his place.
"Did you ask Jimmy in person?" Keller Varga was quite surprised, if it hadn't been for the board of directors changing Kilby to Burnley. Jimmy will never finish the class directly. After all, Jimmy is the first time in so many years that he has led Burnley to the League One.
Barry Kilby nodded. Do you know what Jimmy said to me?
He said, if you want to be stable, go to Thompson. If you want to take risks, go to George.
"What do you mean?"
"Jimmy told me that he didn't quite understand many of George's ideas. Sometimes I think it makes sense, and sometimes I think it's a big problem. But he said that George had more ideas than him. On the contrary, Jimmy said that Thompson is more experienced than George, but his ability is mediocre.
"So you chose George?" Keller was a little surprised, and because of this, he took the risk of choosing George. After all, it was quite surprising for all the media to choose George, a 27-year-old coach at that time.
"In that case, Jimmy left me the best guarantee before he left."
"Dong Dong Dong..." The gentle knock on the door disturbed the conversation between the two. The two of them knew that today's protagonist had arrived.
"Hail, Mr. Kilby and Mr. Varga." George has been laughing every day these days. Since winning the League Cup, many people will say "champion coach" when they see George. George is also happy about this name.
"George, you're here. After the last celebration, I wanted to find you. But you have been tired recently, so I came to you so late. Kilby was very enthusiastic when he saw George. I invested three million three years ago, but now I don't know how many times it has doubled.
Three years ago, Kilby became a major shareholder of the Burnley Club with only three million. At that time, Burnley was just a promising club that was demoted to the second division, but now Burnley is about to become a Premier League club. And it has won the League Cup, and the market value of Burnley Club has also increased many times.
The players who used less than three million in those years have now become popular among the major clubs. Everyone is worth millions. How can this not make Kilby happy?
"Mr. Kilby, you are also busy with these days, I know." Now Burnley's record is rising steadily, and many advertisers also favor Burnley. Therefore, some previous expired advertising contracts need to be re-signed. Therefore, Kilby and Keller are also very busy.
After the three sat down, Kilby's young and beautiful secretary poured a cup of coffee for the three.
"George, I'm coming to you this time to renew the contract." Kilby said directly the purpose of this time without any hesitation.
The contract signed by George and Burnley is a 2+1 contract. After the end of last season, the contract will automatically extend to this season. But this is the last season of the contract, and the contract will end in three months.
Now George has become the representative of the British football coach. Before his thirties, he has led the second-class team to jump twice in three years and immediately became the coach of the Premier League club. Not long after winning the League Cup, there has been news that some Premier League clubs have fallen in love with George.
But this is definitely not groundless. George has also received invitations from some Premier League clubs. It's just that George doesn't have time to pay attention to this now. Now George is fully committed to the promotion and the FA Cup final.
Burnley is also in a hurry now. Although Kilby believes that with George's surname, and George's feelings for Burnley, he will definitely stay in Burnley. But as a businessman, Kilby only believes in contracts. So Kilby wants to get George tied up with a contract as soon as possible.
George took the contract handed over by Kilby, which is still a three-year contract. But the salary has increased significantly, which is more than seven times George's original salary. Now George's weekly salary is only 800 pounds, and once the contract is signed, George's weekly salary will become 6,000 pounds.
Of course, there are many other content terms in it. George did not look carefully, but pushed it back to Kilby.
"George, what are you?" Kilby was terrified that George had accepted the invitation of other clubs. Kilby doesn't want to lose a coach like George. The older the coach is, the better the job is. Many coaches are getting older and more enchanting.
Now George is less than 30 years old. If he reaches the age of 40 and the coach's golden age of 50, what kind of results will he have? Kilby can't imagine these things, but Kilby clearly knows that Burnley needs George now.
Although the expression on Kilby's face has not changed much, George has heard Kilby's surprise just from his tone. So he shook his head with a smile.
"Mr. Kilby, you don't have to be surprised. I haven't thought about other clubs. Burnley is my home, and I have put all my effort into this Burnley. George's words made both Kilby and Keller breathe a sigh of relief.
If George leaves Burnley now, he will definitely not worry about his family. But this Burnley is different. The players in it are all players introduced by George. George is the soul of the current Burnley team, but Kilby is unwilling to give up George.
"However, Mr. Kilby. My recent focus has been on upgrading and the FA Cup finals. So I don't want to be distracted. My idea is to wait until the FA Cup final before considering the contract. This year's FA Cup final was held on May 16, when England's leagues at all levels would have ended.
George is not to bargain with Kilby in the future, but now he really has no room to consider the contract. And after arriving at the Premier League, George also had many ideas of his own. All this needs to be talked about with Kilby, and it can't be understood in a while. That's why George hopes that after the end of the season, the two sides can have a good talk and strive to get a good negotiation result.
Kilby and Keller looked at each other in con's face. They were both businessmen. The first thing that comes to mind is that George should be bargaining, which they have thought about for a long time. After all, George is no longer an unknown coach three years ago, and now he is qualified to bargain with the club. As long as George wants to stay in Burnley and the conditions are not too much, Kilby will agree.
"George, you can put forward any ideas and conditions." Kilby said with a smile.
George saw that Kilby misunderstood, so he shook his head. That's not what I mean. I have some ideas about the future development of the club, and I need to talk to you two. But this is not something that can be made clear in a few words. I want to sit down and talk when everyone is not busy at the end of the season.
"Mr. Kilby, don't worry. I will stay in Burnley, and I can fully guarantee that.
Seeing that George's attitude was firm, Kilby also nodded helplessly. After three years of work, I also know something about George's surname Gerkirby.
"Mr. Kilby, if we can sit down and talk about it before the FA Cup at the end of the season." League One will end on May 3, nearly half a month before the FA Cup final. When I win the FA Cup and announce a new contract, then I will be very happy.
"Winning the FA Cup?" Keller interrupted at the right time to ease the atmosphere.
"Of course, since they have reached the finals, the goal must be to win the championship." George is becoming more and more confident now.
Kilby knew that the result could not be changed, but he was still happy to hear George's promise. OK, George. We signed the contract at the FA Cup celebration banquet, which is also very meaningful.
