Coaching legend

When Jack Walker mentioned it again, George was actually quite moved. After all, this is the third time Jack Walker has invited himself. It started when he was not famous yet, and it has not changed until today.

This attention and trust alone is enough to make George grateful. After George came to this world, he finally devoted himself to being a football coach. But there are only a few people who truly trust themselves so much.

But based on this alone, it is impossible for George to coach Blackburn. If I were not originally from Burnley, I would never have been the head coach of Burnley. Just because of Jack Walker's trust, George would not hesitate to coach Blackburn.

But George is a native of Burnley, and George's grandfather and grandfather were all Burnley fans at first. It really shouldn't be George's job to coach Blackburn.

"Mr. Walker, you should know. I am from Burnley and coach Blackburn..." George smiled and shook his head.

George couldn't say harsh words, after all, the man in front of him was a rich man in England. And he was so kind to himself, so he only spoke half a sentence. But George believed Jack Walker would understand.

Jack Walker smiled slightly, then shook his head.

"George, I heard that the invitations from Liverpool and Newcastle were very sincere. If you don't mind, could you tell me why the negotiations collapsed?" Although Jack Walker didn't know the specific process, there were some inside stories about the breakdown of the negotiations. Jack Walker still knew.

Both Liverpool and Newcastle felt embarrassed to be pushed back by the young coach George. So the words were unclear, but something came out.

George thought for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Liverpool and Newcastle are both well-known teams in England. Now that I think about it, I might have gone too far. But George has no regrets. After one experience at Burnley, George's nerves were a little sensitive.

"Mr. Walker, tell the truth. I believe you know why I left Burnley." George said it slowly. "My request is simple and simple, but most clubs are unwilling to meet it. I just hope that the club's senior management will not interfere in the specific affairs of the team, and no aspect of the team should bypass me as the head coach. It is a pity that they They all think my request is too much.”

George sighed. In his previous life, George always thought that being a head coach in England should be like this. But after actually coming into contact with English football, I discovered that although the head coach of English football has a lot of power. But unless you are a world-class coach like Ferguson, you will be useless in front of capital.

Liverpool actually wants to have a two-leader system. If they hire a world-class coach, will they still do this? George just wanted Newcastle to protect his authority in the team, and Sheffield drooped. All this made George understand that if the head coach wants to fight with the club's top management, he needs capital.

Ferguson had the confidence to challenge Manchester United's senior management, but George had no results to back it up. As a result, Liverpool and Newcastle immediately terminated negotiations as soon as they disagreed.

"George, you should know. Football is no longer what it used to be. When Clough was at Nottingham Forest, as long as the players were disobedient, they would even hang him and beat him. But of course not now, and the head coach has more and more rights. The more restricted it is by the club.”

Jack Walker nodded and spoke to George with a smile. George didn't speak, which George felt deeply. Given George's contribution to Burnley, Kilby doesn't care about George so much. Not to mention those big clubs, which not only have big-name stars who are difficult to manage, but also have strong club executives.

Seeing George's silence, Jack Walker smiled.

"George, if you come to our Blackburn Rovers, I can agree to everything you say. Head coach? Everything about the team should be under the jurisdiction of the head coach. George, I guarantee you in the name of the club chairman, there will never be anyone Interfere with your affairs within the team."

George raised his head and looked at Jack Walker. Jack Walker was really kind to him. When Liverpool and Newcastle were negotiating, they all thought George was too arrogant when they heard George's request. But Jack Walker would trust himself so much.

In ancient times, there was a scholar who died for his confidant. This sentence is a joke in modern times, and George thinks so too. But Jack Walker's trust moved George very much. Although it does not reach the point where a scholar would die for his confidant like the ancients, it is a very touching story that there are people who trust him so much in this world.

George closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Walker, if I were the head coach of Blackburn, would you be able to let me completely let go of the team's affairs?"

Jack Walker is an old fox, otherwise he would not have become England's steel tycoon. In the 1960s, the family's assets exceeded 100 million pounds. As soon as George said that, Jack Walker understood George's thoughts deep in his heart.

"George, I can completely guarantee you. I can let you take charge of the team. From the first team to the youth team, no second person will interfere with your decision."

"Mr. Walker, even if I sell Sutton, Gallagher, Sherwood, and Ripley, I will not interfere with the purge of the Hendry Club?" Among the current Blackburn Rovers, there are still many leftovers from when they won the championship. players.

Sutton is currently Blackburn's most famous player, scoring 18 goals in the Premier League last season. Blackburn were able to avoid relegation in the end, thanks to Sutton's outstanding performance. Since Shearer left Blackburn, Blackburn's forward line has been supported by Sutton.

Of course, Kevin Gallagher also performed very well last season, scoring 16 goals for Blackburn. The combination of Chris Sutton and Kevin Gallagher is also one of the very classic combinations in the Premier League.

Hendry is Blackburn's meritorious captain. Although he is not the best central defender in the world, his influence at Blackburn is very large.

After George said these words, he was already very...

This time Jack Walker did not answer immediately, but thought for a while. He knew that George was definitely not saying this casually. Once he promised George, if George really took over Blackburn, he would definitely purge the club's players.

But after thinking for a while, Jack Walker nodded.

"George, I said that as long as you serve as the head coach, the club will not interfere in the team's affairs. Of course, this also includes the sale of players. If you really want to purge players, the club will support you."

George stared at Jack Walker closely. George was indeed not talking casually. Because once they join Blackburn, these players George is not sure that they can convince them. And entering the Premier League, George has no time to argue with these players. So as long as Jack Walker supports it, George will definitely have to purge most of the players when he enters Blackburn.

When George said this, he might not be General Walker's army. The people George mentioned are all Blackburn's meritorious players, and they are currently the main players of Blackburn's first team. If everything is really cleansed, it will be a big turmoil. No club would behave this way.

But he didn't expect that Jack Walker actually agreed, which made George a little at a loss.

George didn't know how to answer Jack Walker. "Mr. Walker, how about you give me some time to think about it?"

"Okay, George. I'm waiting for your good news."

…………

"Do you really trust George so much?" John Williams waited until George left, then sat next to Jack Walker and asked.

Jack Walker gently sipped the coffee in front of him, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"John, you don't know. When I first watched the game between Burnley and Blackburn, I felt that this young man George was not a talent. I thought he must be the most suitable for us at Blackburn. I believe My decision this time will definitely be as successful as when I invited Dalglish.”

John Williams just stood there and smiled. Williams also agreed that George could coach Blackburn, but not by feeling like Jack Walker. It's because of George's achievements that Williams appreciates them very much.

"But will George agree to come to our Blackburn Rovers? I think he has great concerns?" Williams expressed his doubts.

Jack Walker smiled softly, a smile that controlled the whole situation.

"Do you know why George has never been able to find a job with the results he has obtained now." Jack Walker paused and continued talking without waiting for Williams to answer. "Because George is full of personality, and his ideas are too naive, and his thinking is still 20 years ago. You said that the club will really not interfere with the team, the team is the core of a club. So he can only be everywhere. If it hits a wall, maybe only those small clubs will be satisfied for a year or two, but they won’t be able to stand him in a few years.”

"And I can, I am willing to give him a platform to display his talents. So he will definitely agree to me."
