Coaching legend

Jack Walker knew George well. After leaving, George's heart was not very peaceful.

George needs a stage where he can display his talents. George hopes that his authority in the team will not be affected in any way. In George's mind, this was a very small request. Even when he met with Liverpool and Newcastle, George didn't talk about his salary.

But whether it was Liverpool or Newcastle, during the negotiations, as soon as George mentioned the issue of his authority in the team, their faces immediately changed. They may all feel that George, a young coach, does not appreciate praise.

When George was at Burnley, Kilby and Caleb Varga felt that George was too arrogant. Although he does not interfere with the team's training and games, he frequently interferes in the transfer market. These are things that George cannot tolerate.

Now Jack Walker promised George and was willing to give George the greatest authority. It's a lie that George isn't impressed. Blackburn is still a Premier League team no matter what. And the boss behind it, Jack Walker, is also one of the richest men in England.

It's just that there is only one reason why George cannot choose, and that is Burnley.

When talking about Blackburn, one cannot fail to mention Burnley. Because Burnley and Blackburn are mortal enemies in Lancashire, which has a population of 1.4 million. There are several professional teams among them, but these two are the only ones that can be called mortal enemies.

The stadiums of the two teams are very close to each other, but they have never been in contact with each other. George didn't know exactly why the two clubs became mortal enemies. But since George arrived at Burnley, he has known that the two clubs are real enemies.

Although he has left Burnley, if George chooses to coach Blackburn, George will not be able to pass his test anyway.

"George, why can't you choose?" Evan Sawyer also knew that George was running into obstacles in finding a job these days.

Unlike others, Evan Sawyer and Carl Pat were in constant contact with George. Because their future is closely related to George, since George resigned, the two of them also followed George and left Burnley.

As long as George finds a new job, there is no doubt that the two of them will become members of George's coaching staff. Therefore, George will also keep in touch with the two of them and listen to their opinions.

"Evan, I didn't expect that. I thought it was very simple, but finding a job is really not easy." The negotiations over the past few days made George quite frustrated, and it was completely different from the situation he had imagined.

When he came out of Burnley, George thought that based on his performance at Burnley, many clubs would come here. It should even be a low-profile invitation, but so far, only Blackburn has been the most sincere.

"George, I think Blackburn are the most sincere. Liverpool and Newcastle have many alternative coaches, and it is your first time coaching a Premier League club. What these two clubs want is results, and they will not give you much time. Once your results are not good, "Okay, I'll fire you right away. Then the reputation you earned so easily will be completely destroyed." Evan Sawyer usually has a playful smile, but now he is the calmest.

Both George and Carl have been at Burnley for a long time. Although Carl is an outsider, he also has many feelings for Burnley. Only Evan Sawyer only stayed at Burnley for three years, and he has a general relationship with Burnley. Not like George and Carl.

Seeing that George was listening to his words very seriously, Evan continued. "The best way for you now is to coach a club in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. They don't have much performance pressure. You can adjust slowly and have time to complete your transformation of the team."

"I think Blackburn are very good. They have been wandering in the relegation circle in the past few seasons. They managed to avoid relegation last year. When you arrive at Blackburn, there is not much pressure on performance. Didn't Mr. Walker promise you that he will give you his full support? Blackburn is your best choice in every way."

"Evan, but..."

"George!" George wanted to tell his difficulties, but was interrupted by Evan. "Are you doing it because of Burnley? But George, you should understand that you are just a coach. You have done everything you should do for Burnley, you have helped Burnley move from the English League Two to the Premier League. Without you, Burnley wouldn’t know how to play at this level.”

Evan resented Kilby from the bottom of his heart, and George's Burnley also had Evan's contribution. After George became the head coach, Evan was almost George's assistant coach. Last season, George was appointed as Burnley's assistant coach, and Evan also had a share of Burnley's achievements.

But Kilby deeply hurt Evan's heart, making Evan grit his teeth against Kilby. Evan himself doesn't have much affection for Burnley, and this incident made Evan even more angry. Evan originally hoped to achieve good results in the Premier League with the current Burnley lineup. He was able to add some beautiful experiences to his resume, but Kilby let all of them go to waste. Evan really hoped that George would become Blackburn's coach and make Kilby regret it.

"Yes, George. You are just a coach. Among the several clubs that are inviting you now, Blackburn has the best conditions." Karl Pat, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, also supporting Evan's view.

"George, there is no need to hesitate. When it is time to make up your mind, you should make up your mind. There is no better condition than Blackburn now. You can use Blackburn as a springboard. After Blackburn succeeds, I believe Liverpool and Newcastle will not despise you so much."

George slowly looked at Evan and Carl, his two best partners, and finally nodded.

Hmph, they are right. I am just a coach. Why do I care so much? I am not a saint or a gentleman. What I need now is a stage, a stage to display my talents. What's the use of mixing too many other things.

…………

"George, welcome to Blackburn." The signing of the contract this time was very simple. There were only three people present. They were George, Jack Walker, and John Williams.

Jack Walker was very happy with George's promise. The contract he gave George was definitely one of the best in the Premier League, with a weekly salary of 13,000 pounds and an annual salary of more than 600,000 pounds. It is also among the best coaches in the Premier League.

Even in the contract, Jack Walker wrote that George is the only authority in the team. The club will never interfere with George's affairs in the team, and any action in the transfer market cannot bypass George.

These things make George very satisfied.

After signing the contract, George suddenly relaxed. George knew that once the contract was signed, he would completely become a traitor in the eyes of Burnley fans. He had been worried before, but after the contract was signed, he didn't care about other things.

"Mr. Walker, I will take two assistants to take office. I hope you don't talk about the signing first. I have some unfinished business in Burnley."

George still has to go back to deal with some other things and doesn't want the news to leak.

"George, don't worry."
