Coaching legend

In front of the upcoming World Cup, the news that George suddenly became the head coach of Blackburn Rovers was as explosive as the media's attention to the national team.

After the news of George leaving Burnley was hyped for a while, it has begun to disappear from the pages of newspapers because of the World Cup. But the news that George became the head coach of Blackburn Rovers immediately shocked the English media.

It is not uncommon in the history of football for a coach to switch to a mortal enemy. Even a big star of a team has turned around and joined a mortal enemy in the same city. But George's switch to Blackburn Rovers made many media excited.

Who is George? England's hottest young coach, led a League One club to win the League Cup and FA Cup in succession. He is praised by many media as the best local coach to emerge in England in recent years.

George is one of the most accomplished coaches in Burnley's history, and he is also a coach trained by Burnley himself. George's failure to renew his contract with Burnley has surprised all the media, after all, George's young team is praised as the 92 generation that can rival Manchester United.

As long as George can continue to lead this group of young players, everyone's expectations are still very high. Therefore, the failure to renew the contract has shocked the media.

Now this young coach has become the head coach of Blackburn, Burnley's mortal enemy. Although the main focus of the media's reports is still the World Cup, George's news also occupies a large page in the sports news.

"Dad, Brother George... He really..." Miranda, who went out to play with her classmates, quickly returned to Burnley after seeing the news.

Miranda couldn't believe that George would coach Blackburn. Not to mention Miranda, even Old York couldn't believe it. Seeing that many people gathered in Old York's restaurant, they all had the same expression.

Miranda sat dejectedly on the chair. She knew that after George coached Blackburn, it would be even more difficult for them to meet.

…………

And now George, who is mentioned by the media, Burnley fans, and even Blackburn fans, is no longer in England. Instead, he has arrived in France across the sea.

Not only is he preparing to go to France to enjoy the World Cup, he also wants to use this World Cup in France to prepare for Blackburn's new season.

Now that he has become the head coach of Blackburn, George has to get into work mode. Sometimes George will reflect that he has been a coach since 1995, and it has been three years. As a coach in England, there is no winter break, so there is only time to rest in the summer.

But George has never rested in the summer for so many years. This time, the new head coach of Blackburn has to consider Blackburn and has no time to rest.

George has a big plan for this trip to France. George's new lineup in Blackburn will be dominated by French players. With the French national team winning the 1998 World Cup in France, the French team will usher in a peak of stars.

And there will be a large number of superstar-level stars who are famous in the world of football, from defenders to midfielders and forwards. There will be world-class superstars. Some of them have begun to become famous, and some have not yet become completely famous. Blackburn does not have the strength to introduce famous players, but as a Premier League club, Blackburn is still capable of introducing players who are not yet famous or are becoming famous.

France is a member of the European Union, so there is no need to go through the trouble of applying for a work permit. Of course, French players have an advantage that English players cannot match, or it can be said that it is the overall advantage of players in the French league. That is, Ligue 1 players are cheap and good quality, and their transfer fees have always been very low.

Ligue 1 is not as influential as the Premier League, just like Anelka. If Anelka won the French Ligue 1 championship in France, then even if he scored more than 20 goals in a season, his value would definitely not exceed 10 million pounds at this time. But Anelka scored less than 20 goals in a season at Arsenal, but was bought by Real Madrid for 23 million pounds. This is the gap.

If French players are popular in the Premier League, it is entirely because of one person. That is the credit of the famous French coach Wenger. Since Wenger entered Arsenal, he has introduced many French players. There are many French players who have become famous in Arsenal. Vieira, Petit, and later Pires, Henry, Flamini, Nasri, and Sagna have all taken a big step in their careers at Arsenal.

Not only these French players, but also many players from the French Ligue 1 have performed well under Wenger.

Wenger is a stingy guy, and everyone knows this. Wenger has been coaching for so long, but he rarely makes big moves. This is due to the stinginess of the Arsenal board and the fact that Wenger introduced players from the French Ligue 1. The value of French Ligue 1 players is generally very low.

"There are so many people."

"Of course, the World Cup is coming soon. George, how much transfer fee will the club give you?" Evan Sawyer followed George, and he knew George's plan.

George has many acquisition plans not only in France, but also in many places. Evan Sawyer didn't know if the club could give so much money.

"Ten million pounds." George was very grateful to Jack Walker in his heart. As soon as George entered Blackburn, Jack Walker told George that the transfer fee for this season was ten million pounds.

Ten million pounds is not much. After the establishment of the Premier League, the investment of each Premier League team is increasing. Ten million pounds is not really a lot. But Jack Walker gave George another right, which is to deal with Blackburn's existing players at will.

After getting Jack Walker's full support, George has contacted Chelsea. George is ready to sell Blackburn's biggest star, Chris Sutton, the first player in Blackburn's forward line. Sutton is only 25 years old now, but he is already a top striker in the Premier League.

Sutton, the king of the penalty area, has scored 18 goals last season. Therefore, George hopes to sell it for a good price. It would be best if he can sell it for about 15 million pounds.

Once Sutton is sold, George's transfer fee this year will be sufficient.

Of course, Sherwood, Ripley, and Gallagher are all on George's sales list. Although Blackburn's performance has not been good in recent years, these people can still be sold at a good price. After all, they are all stars who once dominated the Premier League.

"10 million pounds? Not a small amount, but not too much."

"How is it, have you contacted the Marseille club?"

"Yes, we have already contacted them. George, you should know that if you follow your approach, Blackburn will completely become a multinational force. There are not many local players in it, I am afraid..." Evan asked with some concern.

The exclusiveness of English football is still very strong. Now George has entered Blackburn, which can be said to be walking on a tightrope. Judging from the feedback these days, Blackburn fans do not agree with George's entry.

George has just entered Blackburn, and he has to clean up a large number of Blackburn's meritorious players. This will definitely offend Blackburn fans even more. In this way, if George does not have outstanding results, it will be difficult to win back the support of Blackburn fans.

In this case, George should buy some local players with strong appeal in English football to win back the support of fans. But George did not have such an intention, but bought foreign players on a large scale. This made Evan a little worried.

"It's not that I don't want to buy English players, it's just that the transfer fee is limited. English players are too expensive. As long as they are labeled as English players, their value will double. I want to buy players who are good quality and cheap now."
