Chapter 423 Request for a raise
In November, which has just ended, and November, which is slightly emerging, whether in the domestic league or in the European battlefield, the Magpie Legion is invincible and the scenery is infinite... However, God said: Your uncle, there are too many things that can be pissed off the Buddha. It can't be surrounded forever. Is that you? Therefore, you must accept the hardships!
In reality, there is another sentence that is very windy and vivid... How to put it, oh, by the way, it's an iron-clad battalion!!
In other words, if this 's soldier' is really determined to leave, it will be a fucking trend of flowing water. Even if 'God' is the commander of this 'camp', he can't keep that bastard to eat the weight - the sultry of the heart to leave!
So, Newcastle seems to have a little problem!
In the transfer market that just ended this summer, Li Tongfan has been trying to make the Magpie Legion into a young and brave iron horse according to his own ideas, and a 'evergreen force' that can defend the country of St. James for at least ten years... Therefore, those young and high potential And the low-priced demons are the first choice in Lao Li's signing strategy.
But Lao Li seems to ignore one point - precisely because they are young, these little demons who lack life experience are more likely to be confused by the strangeness outside the football field, and more likely to become... restless!
From the beginning of the season to now, after nearly four months of crazy victories before Christmas, The Observer lost no time to make a special addition to the value of Newcastle players, except for a few 'old guys' such as Michael Owen, Maclele, Ronaldo and the goalkeeper. The value of some new young players has almost doubled on average!
Among them, the increase in the price of rookies who were not famous, such as Manzini, Pastore, Hugo Loris, Sako and Musa Sissoko, is the most exaggerated!
And the problem is that Mamadu Sako, the new main defender of the Magpie Legion!
The black central defender, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain for 5 million pounds four months ago, started a total of 15 times in all fronts in Newcastle this season, and formed the main central defender combination of the Magpie Legion's guard line with [Little Superman] Steven Taylor. He has played very dazzlingly along the way. It tripled in four months, directly from 5 million pounds to 15 million pounds!
Such a performance will naturally attract the attention of European giants.
You should know that today's excellent central defenders in football are absolutely rare items. Top central defenders like Terry, Ferdinand and Nesta, who have long been famous and have proved their respective strength, have become symbols of their respective teams... Therefore, in the case of the transfer of these people, such as Sako has become the main future star of the giants before the age of 20. Every giant wants to have it!
The winter transfer period is coming, which gives other rich families an excellent opportunity to dig the wall!
The young players of Newcastle who have played well this season are like a group of pure and beautiful little Lori, attracting the pursuit of 'boys of rich families' from all walks of life, and Sako is obviously the most easily pushed down of this group of little Loris, because he has a "big appetite" agent - kuaLESO Lola. !
...Rigburton Training Base.
Head coach's office.
"Mr. Rice Bucket, I think it's time to improve Mamadu's treatment. You see, he is now the absolute main force of your team and has made great contributions to the team's previous record, and it is certain that Sako's future development space is immeasurable... Therefore, I think it's only 20,000 Ying. The weekly salary of the pound really can't reflect the value of Mamadu, but also an insult to his ability!"
Quareus Lola, the French uncle of Portuguese descent, is righteous.
Li Tongfan did not respond to Lola's request at the first time, but quietly looked at the middle-aged uncle in front of him, who was 45 years old but maintained with fine skin and tender meat. He looked up and fell into meditation... Salary increase, which is almost the last problem that Lao Li did not want to face at this stage, finally came. .
The current Newcastle fiscal balance is in a just-balanced stage.
According to the audit report of David Leo, the chief accountant in charge of the club's finance, in early December, according to the current salary level of the first team and the team's ticket sales, souvenir sales, winning bonuses and other income and expenditure comparison, by the end of the season, the club should be able to achieve a balance of income and even a small surplus!
But if the team's salary is raised on a large scale, everything will be difficult. Perhaps, Li Tongfan has to ask another shareholder, Sir John Hall, for additional capital injection, or apply for a loan from the bank to survive the season... However, Li Tongfan doesn't want to choose these two ways!
Now the club owes a lot of money to the Hall family. If there is additional capital injection, it won't be long before Newcastle will have to change its surname to 'Ho'... And if you apply for a bank loan, although there is absolutely no problem in successfully applying for funds in terms of Newcastle's current record, it often costs tens of millions of pounds of loans. There must be a lot of interest... In the case of forced, it is also unnecessary!
Unexpectedly, the difficulties encountered in running a club are rushing at Li Tongfan one by one... Opposite the desk, the French agent Quareos Lola looked at the madman Li with a surprised look. Now he can't figure out what the Chinese who suddenly fell into deep thought is thinking.
The whole world knows that the madman Li has a strange temper.
He is tough, like a stinky and hard stone, and it seems that no one's account will be sold; he is cunning, and even many 'old rivers and lakes' are fooled by him on and off the court... Therefore, before coming to ask the madman Li for a raise, Kwareos had imagined that after the Chinese heard this request, he would What's the reaction... rage? Procrastination? Disdain?
These Quareos have thought of it... But he is not afraid.
Because through the four months in Newcastle, the ability and potential of his client Sako have been recognized by the whole world. So much so that before half of the season, many of the five major leagues in Europe have quietly thrown olive branches at the young talented central defender... Don't stay here, stay in the master's place!
Quareos thinks that he has the absolute initiative, and the person who is really worried and afraid should be the madman Li.
If the Chinese 'doesn't know the current affairs', then he will instigate Sako to transfer... The world is so big, where can't he go with Sako's ability? What's better is that he can also earn a lot of commission from the transfer... However, even if he imagined tens of millions of scenes after the two met before, Kwareola didn't expect that when he asked for a raise, the madman Li looked like he was wandering like now. I don't know if he was thinking about it. What... a minute has passed... five minutes have passed... ten minutes.
The atmosphere in the office was a little dull, and the Frenchman tightened the bright red tie around his neck... Just as Quarreoli was worried about whether to remind the 'nerd' on the opposite side, the guy suddenly sat up from his seat as if he had woken up from a dream, with a little smile on his face... ... "How much?"
The guy asked with an inexplicable smile.
Quareos didn't react and said, "How much? ...How much is it?"
Li Tongfan's smile is still bright: "I mean, how much do your players want to get a raise?"
Quareos was relieved, and the madman Li compromised?
That's good!
In fact, for Sako, it is also a good choice for him to stay in Newcastle for the time being if he can get a huge weekly salary.
After all, the madman Li is recognized as a head coach who can create miracles. If he continues to play with such a person, he should get more transfer capital in a short time... Quareus tidied up his hair, and the fair and delicate skin on his face smiled and opened a wrinkle, carefully He said his goal: "Mr. Rice Bucket, I know that Michael Owen and Ronaldo's weekly salary has reached 110,000 pounds, and Steven Taylor in the same position as Sako is up to 100,000 pounds..."
"Tay it directly!"
"Well, I hope my client can get a salary worthy of his ability and value..." Quareus stretched out his hands and opened his fingers and smiled, "100,000 pounds!"
Li Tongfan felt that the man in front of him was like a vampire with his teeth and claws smiling ferociously.
"Is this also Sako's own opinion?"
Quareos nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
"In this case... Well, congratulations, you can go..." Li Tongfan seemed to drive away a fly that bored him and waved his hand: "By the way, please help tell those clubs that are interested in Sako that I am not greedy, as long as they are willing to pay a transfer fee of 20 million pounds for your client. Then you can take Sako away anytime and anywhere..."
"What?"
The confident Quareus was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"I said, you can go. I agree to your client's transfer!" Lao Li leaned comfortably on the back chair and answered the Frenchman word by word.
"No! You can't do this!" The French panicked.
"Well, there is also a discussion... If your client is willing to accept a weekly salary of £40,000, then I welcome him to stay in St. James, otherwise... £100,000? That's the treatment he can get here in three years!"
"This is impossible!"
The French uncle was also angry. He jumped up from the seat, and his delicate and tender face was full of huge disappointment. After that, he glowed an unhealthy flush: "Mr. Li, madman, please think clearly that you are talking to the agent of the main defender of your team..."
