Chapter 28 The Iron Camp

After the forty-first round, Burnley has already won the English Second Division championship. In the remaining five games, George sent some players who played rarely to let them experience the game.

George's eyes are now focused on summer transfers.

The news of Burnley's upgrade also occupied a small space in some media. Now the eyes of all England are focused on the Premier League championship battle. In the end, just like history, Manchester United completed an epic comeback after being twelve points behind.

Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan became a famous joke when he fumed in a Sky interview: "I'd love to beat Manchester United." Kevin Keegan finally lost a 12-point advantage under Ferguson's psychological warfare. Ferguson's use of excellent psychological tactics almost drove Keegan crazy and became a classic in the history of the Premier League. Manchester United won the third Premier League championship trophy since the beginning of the Premier League.

This season is a turning point for Manchester United. From now on, Manchester United will begin to create a dynasty of their own. The midfield line that later became world-famous also began to take shape during this season. Beckham scored seven league goals in his first season in England, Roy Keane scored six, and Ryan Giggs scored ten. One, Paul Scholes and ten, this is a perfect midfield line, everyone has good scoring ability and defensive ability. The most important thing is that the midfielders here are young.

Ferguson's most proud disciples of the 1992 generation have officially begun to take over and become the cornerstone of Manchester United's future Triple Crown. Sitting on the sofa in the "Match Day" studio in the summer of 1995, Liverpool legend Alan Hansen pointed at the Red Devils' lineup with an average age of less than 23 years old at the time and sneered, "How can we win a championship with a bunch of kids!" It will become forever. laughing stock.

Last season's Premier League champion Blackburn fell into chaos at the beginning of the season. Ray Shaft resigned and Dalglish took over temporarily. Although Blackburn performed well after Dalglish took over, they only ranked tenth at the end of the season, a far cry from last season.

…………

Of course, George doesn't care much about the current situation in the Premier League. Because of the upgrade, George has to deal with player contract renewal issues. Although most of the players on the team signed contracts just after George took office, as the team advances, the players' values ​​will naturally increase. At this time, if they do not give a contract that meets the status of a Class A player, the ball will Only then will the team's military morale be stable in the coming season.

George wants to put those substitute players who can't even play in the second division into the transfer market. It is necessary to buy some players who can play in the first league.

But the most disturbing thing is that Burnley's results are good. Many players have already attracted the attention of other clubs. As a team that has just been promoted to the First Division, Burnley is not as attractive as those old First Division teams.

"George, this is Coventry's offer for Huckabee." Evan Sawyer came to George's office and handed over a fax with a wry smile.

After Evan Sawyer came to George's coaching team, his most important job was to help George analyze his opponents. At the end of the season, it will help to observe George's targets in the transfer market. Almost as an assistant coach to George, while Karl Pat was responsible for the team's daily training.

"Huckabee?" Bobosky is the undisputed star on George's team, and everyone else is overshadowed by his light. Including George's favorite midfielder Ballack and local star Daniel Morrison, they can only be in the shadow of Boboski.

Darren Huckabee even more so. As a forward, his goals and assists are far inferior to those of Boboski as a right midfielder.

However, George still attaches great importance to Darren Huckabee and Danny Murphy in the team, because these two are the ultimate frontcourt. Darren Huckabee can play left or right, forward or midfield. After scoring 16 goals for Burnley last season, George is very reluctant to give up such a player.

But knowing the invitation from the Premier League team, Huckabee certainly couldn't refuse. No matter how well Burnley performs in the second division, they are not at the same level as Coventry in terms of attractiveness.

"One million pounds!" George looked at the quotation and was quite satisfied. Nowadays, even among the players in the First Division, there are very few who can have one million pounds. "Evan, you can tell the club that if Huckabee can fetch more than a million pounds, it can be sold."

Evan Sawyer nodded, and then took out other quotation faxes. There's Bobosky's, there's Ballack, there's Daniel Morrison, there's Danny Murphy, there's Neil Lennon, there's Gary Breen. Anyway, basically all Burnley players are included.

"Evan, why don't you take it out together." George said with a smile, holding a thick stack of quotations.

Evan shrugged and said: "I have read all these quotes. Bobosky, you must wait until the European Cup is over. And except for Darren Huckaby's quote, the other quotes are too low. I believe you will not agree." ”

"You still understand me." George pointed at Evan and smiled. "But our small club, Burnley, has nothing not for sale except for a few people. I will give you a list. Miller, Grant, Mitchell and midfielder Coed are the veterans of the club who will stay. Then Ballack is me Apart from these six players, who will be the core of the team in the future and will be the future banner of our club, we can all consider selling them as long as the price is right.”

If Burnley were still in the Premier League, or if Burnley were a traditional English club, they would have the confidence to keep their players. But Burnley is now too depressed and basically does not have the strength to retain players.

"I know." Evan Sawyer nodded.

"These are some of my goals this summer. Please help me contact them first. As long as Bobosky and Huckabee are sold and the transfer fee is available, we will start the actual operation immediately." George gave Evan a List, let Evan operate in the early stage.

George found Kilby long before the end of the season. Kilby told George that Burnley's goal this season is to avoid relegation in English League One, and the club can only pay a transfer fee of 500,000 pounds. This made George despise Kilby greatly, and he only wanted to avoid relegation.

Now anyone with a little discernment can see the huge potential of the Premier League. The Premier League has only been established for just four years, but it has already shown great vitality. Moreover, the income from the Premier League is also very huge. At this time, Kilby actually did not want to promote Burnley to the Super League. On the contrary, it is too conservative to cherish the little funds.

But George can't help it. Burnley is a small club after all. Ticket revenue is limited and various advertising revenue is also very low. As long as the Burnley board of directors is unwilling to pay, then there is nothing George can do as a coach.

So now George is waiting for Bobosky to sell at a high price to fill the gap in the lineup.

"Well, okay." Evan Sawyer simply looked at the list inside. Many of them George had discussed with Evan.

George patted Evan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm going to enjoy the European Cup. If anyone comes to me, just tell me so."
