Coaching legend

Chapter 32 I am from Burnley

"Former Premier League champions' new manager: Twenty-eight?" ” Huge headline from The Sun the day after George and Jack Walker met.

Below there are very clear photos of George and Jack Walker chatting and laughing happily at the dinner table, and there are also photos of John Williams shaking hands.

"Jack Walker meets young coach George Levy."

"Many people may not be very familiar with George Levy. He is a young coach who is only 28 years old. He only became the head coach of Burnley in the English League Two last year. This young coach has In his first season as coach, he won the English League Two championship with an outstanding record.”

"What's even more surprising is that Burnley under George Levy changed seven main players. They were all new players that George personally introduced last summer. George Levy spent a total of one million pounds to introduce these new players. Then George Levy purged many of the club’s senior players, but these newcomers all performed well at Burnley and made great contributions to Burnley’s promotion.”

"These are not very intuitive yet, but there is one data that is very intuitive. George Levy spent 400,000 pounds on the Czech international Karel Boboski introduced last summer. But just one year later, George Bobosky was sold to Manchester United for a transfer price of 4 million pounds, and Darren Huckaby, who was also bought for 120,000 pounds, transferred for 1.2 million pounds just one year later. Arrived in Coventry.”

"As far as we know, Jack Walker is interested in George Levy because George led Burnley to defeat Blackburn in the League Cup last season. Jack Walker was at the scene at the time and was very interested in George Levy. Interested. And as George Levy leads Burnley back to League One, Jack Walker is quite satisfied with George Levy.”

"Dalglish has already submitted his letter of resignation. At first, Dalglish was only the temporary head coach. So now Blackburn are looking for a new coach."

"Our reporter took this picture while following Jack Walker. From the photo, we can see that George and Jack Walker were talking and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious. We have reason to believe that George Levy, the young coach, It is very likely that he will become the new manager of Blackburn this season.”

"If this comes true, then another grudge will be added to the century-old feud between Blackburn and Burnley."

…………

George never expected that he and Jack Walker would be photographed by a reporter from the Sun after just having a meal. The photos of himself, Williams, and Jack Walker are very clear, and anyone would get the wrong idea if they saw them.

This incident has little impact on other Premier League teams, or they simply pay attention. But even so, George Levy entered the eyes of England fans for the first time. The 28-year-old head coach is indeed too young.

Such a young coach suddenly appeared in English football, and people couldn't help but pay attention to him. With this incident, George Levy became a well-known young coach in English football.

But it's a different story for Blackburn and Burnley.

Blackburn fans have a very bad impression of George, especially the scene when he led Burnley to Ewood Park last time and provoked Blackburn fans. They will remember it deeply in their hearts. Moreover, George is just a 28-year-old young coach. He only coached a second-division team before. This makes Blackburn fans look down on George. So not long after the Sun came out, many Blackburn fans came to the club to inquire. The calls from Blackburn Rovers Club have never stopped.

Of course, Blackburn fans hate George at most, and some fans believe that if Burnley's coach can be poached, it will be the biggest blow to Burnley. Therefore, some Blackburn fans are optimistic about the success, while others think Jack Walker's move is too beautiful.

Compared to the Blackburn fans, the Burnley fans were already in a state of excitement. Some people curse Blackburn and Jack Walker, some call George a traitor, and some people hope that the club can retain George. Anyway, there are all kinds of people.

George's phone calls have not stopped since morning.

"George, is it..." Karl Pat even came to George's residence and asked very doubtfully.

George patted his best partner on the shoulder and said with a smile. "Karl, you don't even believe me. To be honest, when Jack Walker found me, I was really tempted. It was a Premier League championship team, and the players inside were all top-notch. But Burnley has a lot of things, It’s really impossible to let go.”

"George, you really refused." Karl Pat opened his eyes wide, shook his head slightly and sighed. "Actually, George, you should know that I came to Burnley just to make a living. I would rather see you succeed than Burnley. Blackburn is a platform, a far bigger platform than Burnley. Blackburn have more money than us, even the fan base is better than us, and they are a Premier League team."

Karl Pat and George worked together in the youth team for five years, and after George became the head coach, Karl Pat became the most effective person on George's coaching team. The friendship between the two is far beyond what others can imagine.

"Thank you, Carl." George patted Carl Pat on the shoulder. "But our family has supported Burnley for a hundred years, and my dream is to lead Burnley to create an era. You will definitely help me, right?"

Karl Pat nodded. The two chatted and laughed and arrived at the training ground, but as soon as they arrived at the club door, they were surrounded by a group of fans and reporters.

"Coach Levi, is it true that Blackburn invited you to be the head coach?"

"Coach Levy, are you going to be Blackburn's head coach?"

"Coach Levi, is the report in the Sun true?"

In an instant, a lot of microphones were stretched out in front of George, asking George all kinds of questions. However, many fans nearby were not as impulsive as reporters. If they came over, it would be a big problem. Because there were thousands of fans gathered in front of the club.

George smiled and pressed his hands to ask the reporters to calm down. "Don't worry, everyone. I will explain the questions you want to hear one by one. But I hope everyone will not be so crowded."

After hearing George's words, the reporters who had been pushing forward slightly relaxed, but the reporters standing in the front row firmly held their positions.

"First of all, I did receive an invitation from Blackburn. But I was just a candidate on the list of Blackburn's new coaches, and I myself declined the invitation. Because I am a Burnley native and I want to lead Burnley. The team creates an era that belongs to Burnley." George recounted the matter very calmly.

Although there were no other words, Burnley fans applauded thunderously. Seeing this group of lovely fans, George was suddenly very moved. In front of dozens of reporters and thousands of fans present, I couldn't help but shout out one sentence.

"I'm from Burnley and I belong to Burnley all my life. Burnley is my home."

George's words were like a declaration, and all the fans present suddenly burst into loud cheers. "George! George! George!"

"Once a Burnley man, always a Burnley man." George was also infected by the fans and raised his fist and shouted.
