Coaching legend

George had no idea what Said and Anderson were planning.

And it was impossible for Said to tell George his plans.

Therefore, what George cares about most now is his team.

Although at the beginning, the Premier League has always been led by Chelsea and Liverpool. Unfortunately, in November and December, they all had their own problems.

First up is Scolari’s Chelsea.

Chelsea, which had a winning streak at the beginning of the season, began to decline in late October with a home defeat to Liverpool in the league. There have been bad results such as a zero-to-zero draw at home with Newcastle, a 1-2 loss to Arsenal in the same city derby, and a 1-1 draw with West Ham United.

From the top of the Premier League, they were suddenly squeezed to third place.

And Benitez is indeed not good at the league.

Although Benitez became famous, he still defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the La Liga championship. But in the Premier League, Benitez is not very good at playing in the league. In other words, Benitez's experience in La Liga is of no use in the Premier League.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Blackburn are all ferocious wolves. In this kind of competition, if you make a slight mistake, you will not be the Premier League champion.

Benitez's Liverpool still has Liverpool's original shortcomings.

That is, when encountering strength, one becomes strong, and when encountering weakness, one becomes weak.

When facing a strong team, there is no fear. Just like when they defeated the powerful Chelsea in late October, they played very well. But facing a weak team, they didn't play well.

Soon fell behind.

Ferguson's Manchester United climbed to the first place.

But Blackburn, who seemed tepid and ignored by many British football commentators, actually climbed to second place in the Premier League. It has even surpassed several strong teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, the situation in the Premier League has not changed.

Especially Chelsea.

Chelsea's downward trend is simply unstoppable.

Entering 2009, the team's condition still did not improve, losing to Manchester United and Liverpool 0:3 and 0:2 respectively. On February 8, Chelsea drew a goalless draw with Hull City, and Scolari himself was ridiculed by the home fans.

Chelsea even slipped to fifth place.

This is the first time Chelsea's performance has dropped to such a low ranking since Abramovich took over.

Scolari's days at Chelsea are numbered.

…………

"Scolari, you really think you are the savior. You deserve your current ranking."

Karl looked at the newspaper and sneered at Scolari.

Blanc left Blackburn at the end of last season and went to Ligue 1. Became the manager of Bordeaux.

George didn't stop him at all.

When he asked Blanco to be an assistant coach, George understood Blanco's ambition. This is the second person from George's Blackburn coaching staff to be the head coach. These are George's connections in European football.

Now George has stopped replenishing his coaching staff.

"Karl, don't say that. Scolari is a world-famous coach and has won the World Cup."

George smiled and shook his head.

Carl smiled.

"Shit." Karl didn't like Scolari very much. When Scolari came to the Premier League, he was very bullish. "George, even if I were Chelsea coach, my results would not be so bad. Look at Scolari, he really thinks he is God."

"Chelsea is obviously still under the influence of Mourinho. If you want to coach a team like this, you can only make changes slowly. But if you look at Scolari, he has to play his own style from the beginning. How about, let’s kill ourselves in the end.”

George looked at Karl and shook his head.

As Carl got older, he became more and more mean-spirited.

"The more chaos Chelsea has, the better for us? And no matter what he does, we are about to play Real Madrid. We still pay attention to this opponent."

Blackburn have already made it through the Champions League group stages.

They faced Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

"I just feel bad for Chelsea. What a good group of Chelsea players. They were lions in the past few years, and look what they have become now. Little sheep? Haha."

Carl shook his head.

Perhaps also because he belongs to the nouveau riche, Karl still has a good impression of Chelsea's rise. Therefore, Karl dislikes Scolari very much.

The two of them just chatted.

The two of them are currently mainly thinking about how to beat Real Madrid.

"Dong dong dong"

While the two were talking, someone hurriedly knocked on the door of George's office. And it's very loud.

George frowned.

No one has knocked on George's office door like this for many years.

But before George could say anything, the man had already opened the door and came in. It turned out to be Richard who was in charge of the transfer from Blackburn.

"Richard, you can't knock the door lightly."

Seeing that it was Richard, George lost his temper. Because George and Richard have worked well together over the years. There has been no friction at work, and our personal relationships are even better.

Richard was sweating profusely and didn't bother to wipe it away. "George, why are you still sitting here. Something serious has happened."

"What's wrong?"

George and Carl both stood up. Richard is not an ordinary person in the Blackburn club. He has great power and is a powerful figure in the Blackburn club. He has been at Blackburn for decades, even earlier than Jack Walker. The entire Blackburn transfer department is under his control.

And over the years, Blackburn has invested heavily in its scouting system. These are all Richard's control departments, so Richard is the number one person in Blackburn's platoon.

Even if a new boss like Said takes over, he will not be attacked.

Because he has huge resources at his disposal. If he leaves, he can take a large portion of the scouting system with him. With such conditions, Richard will be welcomed in any club he goes to.

A lot has happened in Blackburn over the years, but Richard has always been quite stable. George had never seen him so anxious.

"John, he resigned!"

"What?"

George was shocked.

How long had it been since Said took over Blackburn Rovers and he actually forced Williams away?

Who is Williams?

That was 20 years at Blackburn Rovers, assisting Jack Walker and Paul Walker. For Blackburn to achieve its current results, Williams' contribution is definitely the biggest. In the eyes of Blackburn fans, Williams is the best club chairman.

George even publicly declared in front of the media that the Walker family and Williams are the best templates for world club presidents.

Did Said have water in his head?

Even if he wanted to install his direct descendants, he wouldn't be able to do it so quickly. It should be a department-by-department substitution, rather than directly forcing out Williams, the head of the organization.

"What's going on? Why did John resign?"

George came to Richard nervously.

"I don't know the specifics. But when I rushed over, John had already quarreled with the Indian. The quarrel was fierce, and finally John said he wanted to resign. The Indian approved John's resignation."

Richard spoke very hastily.

"By the way, I heard the last part. It seems that the Indian is going to sell the naming rights of the stadium."

"Sold the naming rights?" George frowned.

In fact, this matter is not a big deal. Look at Arsenal, they sold the naming rights of their stadium and turned it into the "Emirates Stadium". It's all for one thing, money.

But Blackburn's new stadium already has a name.

Jack Walker Stadium. This was decided after extensive solicitation of opinions from Blackburn fans.

It is also to commemorate Jack Walker, the meritorious chairman who brought Blackburn from the lower leagues to the Premier League.

Now that the Indians have just taken over, they want to sell the naming rights without saying a word. Of course, Williams is unwilling. But this alone should not cause Williams to resign on the spot.

"Richard, is there anything else? John can't leave the club just because of this."

Richard shook his head.

"George, I really don't know. But Williams is still in Said's office. You can go over now. By the way, and..."

But after Richard's words, George ran out before it was over.

"George, George." Karl reacted quickly and immediately went out to block George. "George, don't lose your temper when you go there. Let's check the situation first."

"Okay, I get it."

After George dealt with Karl, he immediately went to Said's office. How could George not be anxious.

After Said took over, Williams was the one George relied on most in Blackburn. Williams is also George's backstage. If Williams leaves, how can he not make George anxious?

When George arrived, the atmosphere between them was already tense. There were four people inside, all of whom George knew.

One is Said, and the other is a staff member who came to the club with Said. It's just no different from a little secretary, a little follower. The other one is Williams.

In addition to the three of them, George also knew the remaining person.

No one was surprised by George's arrival.

"Coach Levi, you're here." Said smiled. It's like nothing happened just now.

George nodded to Said and then looked at Williams.

Said was very dissatisfied with George's attitude.

No matter how famous George is in world football, he is just a jobber. Said is the boss, and George ignores him so much. But the discipline he had cultivated since childhood prevented him from showing any other expressions.

Still introduced to George with a smile.

"Coach Levi, let me introduce you. This is Jerome Anderson."
