Coaching legend
Chapter 306 The Future of the Club
The hotel Williams booked is a place that everyone usually goes to. This hotel has a cooperative relationship with Blackburn Club. Many players who have just joined Blackburn will stay in this hotel when they can't find a suitable house for a while.
When George arrived, Jack Walker and Williams were already inside. In addition to the two of them, there was another person, but George didn't know this person.
George hasn't seen Jack Walker for a long time.
Since George took over Blackburn, George has discussed the club's affairs with Williams. And Jack Walker rarely even shows up at the club. Not to mention watching the game on site.
When Jack Walker just took over Blackburn, he often appeared at Ewood Park. He even followed the team to away games to cheer for the team. But a few years ago, Jack Walker's health condition declined sharply, and the doctor even advised Jack Walker not to watch football games.
But Jack Walker is very stubborn. Although he can't watch the game on site due to physical reasons, he will watch the live broadcast on TV when there is a Blackburn game.
This is a real fan.
Seeing Jack Walker again this time, George clearly felt that Jack Walker's life breath was very weak. His eyes were sunken, and his whole body was just skin and bones.
Compared to the first time George saw Jack Walker five years ago, Jack Walker now has aged a lot. George knew that Jack Walker only had less than a year left to live. Thinking of this, George could only sigh in his heart.
George was very grateful to Jack Walker.
When George came into this world, the first club chairman who fully appreciated him was Jack Walker.
When George started in a mess at Blackburn, Jack Walker supported him without hesitation. If it weren't for Jack Walker's strong support at the time, let alone George was fired by the club. George couldn't even settle the locker room at that time.
Jack Walker's history of making a fortune has always been criticized by many English people.
In order to avoid taxes, Jack Walker even left England. And his steel company played a left-handed toss, which made the British government lose a lot of money. Jack Walker made a lot of money from it.
But these have little to do with George.
In fact, which of these rich people did not violate the rules in the process of making money?
George only knew that Jack Walker was really good to him and trusted him.
"George, you are here. Sit down."
Everyone is familiar with each other, so Jack Walker is also very casual.
"Come on, George, let me introduce you. This is my youngest son, Paul Walker." Paul Walker looks very young, and should be about the same age as George. Or he should be younger than George.
"Hello, George. I am your fan."
Paul Walker is different from his father. Jack Walker may have built his kingdom with his own hands, so he has a certain underworld atmosphere. He speaks very generously. Paul Walker is similar to Williams, like a social elite with higher education. He speaks slowly and calmly, which makes people feel very good about him.
"Thank you, Paul."
After everyone sat down, Paul Walker poured everyone a glass of red wine.
If it was before, Jack Walker would drink generously. He drinks red wine differently from other rich people, who say that red wine is for tasting. But Jack Walker doesn't have that kind of attention to detail. George is not reserved when he is with Jack Walker. Because George is a country bumpkin, he is very bored with the cumbersome etiquette.
Jack Walker is very weak now, so he just takes a sip.
"George, congratulations first. The team won the half-time championship."
"Mr. Walker, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." George is very humble.
Jack Walker smiled. But he is already very thin, and his smile is a bit ferocious.
"George, do you have any ideas for next season?"
George was stunned by Jack Walker's question. This kind of question should be asked when the season is about to end. Even if George has any ideas now, he has to adjust them according to the results of this season.
"George, I'm afraid I can't hold on until then." Jack Walker saw George's puzzled look and smiled and answered.
George was shocked. Could it be that Jack Walker's body has reached this point? George was about to say something, but Jack Walker shook his head, signaling George not to interrupt. "George, I know my body. My body can no longer support me. It will only take a few months."
"The happiest thing in my life is not that I built the Iron Empire. It is seeing Blackburn win the Premier League title. Unfortunately, it is difficult to see the Premier League title this season. But I believe you can lead Blackburn to win the Premier League title."
After saying so much, Jack Walker's face turned red, and then he coughed a few times. Paul Walker gently patted Jack Walker's back.
"George, I met you today to introduce Paul to you. I will leave a Walker Fund, and Paul will be in charge. The main purpose of this fund is to ensure the operation of the Blackburn Club. John will continue to serve as the chairman of the club."
George then realized that Jack Walker asked him to come here to arrange his funeral.
The young man in front of him will become Blackburn's largest shareholder because he will control the Walker Fund. It seems that Jack Walker's time is really running out. This was the first time they met, and George didn't know Paul Walker's character yet.
But hearing that Williams would go on to become club president gave George some relief.
Williams is a very competent club president. It can even be said that Williams is a very capable club president. Not only can he handle small things very well, but he is also a far-sighted chairman.
Seeing that George had already digested it, Jack Walker continued.
"George, I don't want to interfere in the team's internal affairs. But I know that you have great ambitions. You will not be satisfied with dominating the Premier League. You must have your eye on the Champions League." Jack Walker has always been a good judge of people. The most confident. And the introduction of George is also the thing he is most proud of.
"I know the current lineup, and you definitely have to continue to improve it. I have discussed it with John and know that the current club needs to increase wages and bring in some players. Although it is still early, I have separately allocated 20 million pounds. This "The money goes towards the club's increased wages and your signings in the summer."
"George, I know that twenty million pounds is no longer a big sum in English football. But my funds are also limited, and twenty million pounds is the last cash I can come up with. I hope you can Stay at Blackburn and leave a glorious history to Blackburn.”
Hearing this, George stood up.
"Thank you, Mr. Walker."
Out of thousands of words, George only said this sentence.
George is not a person with a cold nature, but he is not a person swayed by emotions either. George can be considered an emotional person, but George will never lose his judgment just because of feelings.
George is a very sensible man.
Although he is sometimes impulsive, he always makes rational decisions when making important decisions.
Otherwise, George would not have accepted Jack Walker's invitation in the summer of 1998. From a relationship point of view, there is no way George would choose Blackburn. But after weighing the pros and cons, George finally chose Blackburn.
Therefore, it is impossible for emotions to make decisions for George.
But today, George suddenly felt an urge. I want to tell Jack Walker that I am willing to stay at Blackburn Rovers for the rest of my life.
Of course George knew that Jack Walker was not a rich man like Abramovich with tens of billions of dollars in capital. Jack Walker's net worth is only a few hundred million pounds. After George took over, Jack Walker has never been short of funds.
This time George was given a guarantee of 20 million pounds. Although it also includes an increase in player wages, the transfer funds left for George will be more than 10 million pounds at least. With this money, George can keep the main team and make some additions.
George was suddenly moved by Jack Walker's support.
George suddenly understood something. It was Jack Walker's support that moved George so much. At that time, Zhuge Wuhou was left alone by Liu Bei and became the prime minister of a country from a commoner. Maybe it was because of Liu Bei's trust that he said "I will do my best until I die".
George understood a little bit of this sentence: A soldier dies for his bosom friend.
"George, this is what I want to say today. It's nothing big." Although he was very weak, Jack Walker still spoke so boldly. "The future development of Blackburn depends on the three of you."
All three of them nodded. But everyone's heart is heavy.
Afterwards, the four of them chatted and talked about some relaxed topics. At this time, Jack Walker seemed to be recalling something. I started to recall some of the things I worked hard for back then. Jack Walker didn't stay here long, only about an hour.
Then, with the support of Paul Walker, he left the hotel.
George and Williams kept giving him rides.
"John, I didn't expect Mr. York's body to be in this state."
Williams said nothing and had a serious expression on his face. Working under Jack Walker should be different from working under his son.
"John, what is the character of this Paul?"
Williams glanced at George and then said: "Don't worry, Paul has his own career. The Walker Fund is owned by Paul, but he shouldn't interfere too much. I am responsible for managing the Walker Fund and managing the club."
"To be honest, I'm a little worried."
"As long as the club performs well, Paul shouldn't care. The Walker family has been Blackburn fans for hundreds of years." Williams reassured George. Williams doesn't want unnecessary trouble to arise for this reason at the critical moment of contract renewal.
"Well, I believe you."
thanks for your support. This is an additional chapter. Hope to continue to support.
