I am a nobleman in England

In the past Premier League, you may have such time and space, but today's league is highly commercialized, and every team has invested a lot of money, and there is no room for mistakes.Naturally, the team's management also needs to change their mindset, and Arthur is very impressed by what Nikolai said.

After he took over the Southampton club, he would never sell players casually. If he wanted to sell, he would also sell at a real black shop price!

If Southampton doesn't sell stars, how beautiful will the picture be?

Nikola Courtis looked at Arthur and said with great affection: "Even if we are all going to enter the Premier League in the next year, if we don’t play for the championship, we want to get tickets to the Champions League. No show at all.

The decline of Serie A is now a recognized fact, and the fairness of La Liga and the financial system of the league are more biased towards rich clubs.On the other hand, the Premier League’s annual dividend for each team is not comparable to other major leagues.

Only by winning the Champions League tickets, the club's finances will tend to balance, or even slightly surplus."

Arthur was very satisfied with the Italian's ambitions and lofty ambitions. He bought the Saints, but not to rush into the Premier League chaos, as a fish belly, as a lift.

Looking at the world-class attention and influence gained by the local tyrants and desert tyrants from Russia using their clubs, it is simply a supreme weapon for publicity and marketing!

"After acquiring the Saints, I will spend a portion of the money to solve the club's financial crisis, and at the same time, I will also invest a portion of the money. I never thought about how much money it can help me." Arthur expressed his attitude.

Nicolas Courtis heard Arthur say this, nodded seriously, and continued: "Of course, in the Premier League, it is not enough to just take money to talk about things. In fact, the saints are really a good asset. The rich clubs actually have the resources of the Saints. But the trick of the Saints is that they can also train young top players.

The players who have come out of the Southampton youth training are all sought-after products of major clubs.But we can't train young players on our own, just to sell a good price.If this continues, the club’s future will be ruined."

"You can train people, but you can't keep them. This is a common problem in many small and medium clubs." At this time, the die-hard Saints fan Jerry shook his head with a wry smile.

Kotis also nodded understandingly and said: "This is the key. The club must not only be able to train young top players, but also be able to retain them. Only in this way can the team seize the opportunity to maximize their potential.

According to my years of management experience, players generally leave for high salaries, and Southampton cannot pay players that high salary like the Premier League clubs.

Therefore, in addition to feelings, Southampton's advantage in retaining people lies in allowing players to identify with the team's grand goal.

If I am now the manager of the Southampton club, regardless of which giants are opening what kind of sky-high prices this summer, my answer will be simple, "No".What kind of sky-high prices will not make me tempted to sell players."

Kautis looked at Arthur, the young boss, and explained: "It is not necessary at all. Although the financial situation of the Southampton Club is a bit bad, as long as the boss buys it and smooths it out, there is no need to sell. The players make up for the shortfall.

First of all, we must formulate a five-year plan, and the club must have internal motivation to move forward.If you just want to be safe, then you are not far from failure.One of the prerequisites for the club to move forward is that the core of the team must not only stay with the team, but also unite with the team.

If the club can do this, I have the confidence to make Southampton a team that can live in the upper reaches of the Premier League within three years.There is even a chance to enter the Champions League."

Arthur listened to Courtis’ words of confidence, and said that he had been around the question of “not selling players”. Arthur couldn’t help but feel funny in his heart. It seems that this person is very worried that he could not resist after becoming the saint. The quotations of those giants force the club to sell players for money.

In fact, Kotis thinks so. It is normal to play prevention in advance. The owners of the club are usually businessmen and are animals chasing profits. If a player can sell for 50 or 60 million pounds, who can not be tempted?

"I can promise you that within three years, as long as you can return the Saints to the Premier League, I will never interfere with the normal operation of the club. I can give you the greatest trust and power. I hope you can use facts to prove that my The decision is correct. You are worthy of my trust!" Arthur said with a serious and solemn expression, looking at Kautis sharply.

Kotis did not evade the slightest, but solemnly said: "Boss, I also believe in the facts. As long as the club continues to develop in accordance with my planned five-year plan and achieve the goals at all stages. I have the confidence to lead the saints towards success."

"Hehe, I like your self-confidence. It seems that before you came to see me, you have already considered the overall situation, and you should have a head coach candidate? Just now, you said you want to change the head coach." Arthur likes capable and confident men.

"Yes, boss, I have indeed thought about the candidate. The current head coach Nigel Adkins of Scunthorpe will lead Scunthorpe to the championship in 0607 and upgrade to the English championship. Canthorpe was relegated to League One again, but in the 0809 season led the team to win the League One play-off championship and once again returned to the League.

He has a wealth of experience in attacking the higher leagues. As long as he is invited and our current lineup is added, it will not be difficult to return to the Championship next year."Courtis introduced to Arthur.

"He has led Scanthorpe to upgrade to the British crown, will he choose to leave?" Arthur couldn't help but frowned and asked curiously.

"Definitely, I watched this year's summer trade for Scunthorpe. Not only did the team fail to reinforce, but instead sold three core players. In this way, there is no doubt that Scunthorpe will do another lift. I think Nigel Adkins, as the head coach, is absolutely fed up with this situation. I can convince him personally. I believe he will choose us because we have ambitions and have more ambitious goals!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Arthur nodded and said.Then he looked at Jerry who was aside and smiled: "Hehe, we are happy to say here, and we are fully prepared, as if the saints do not belong to me now! Hehe, Jerry, what did they say?"

"Ha ha..."

Several people couldn't help but laughed at Arthur's ridicule. Jerry also laughed: "I told them your offer, and they said that the offer was too low to accept. After bargaining with them, they offered another 15 million pounds. , But they really want to get rid of the baggage of the saint, and I think the price is very sincere."

"15 million pounds?" Arthur frowned and blinked. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "Although the price is acceptable, it is still a bit high, so let's—"

Arthur raised his wrist and checked the time on the watch. It was already five o’clock in the afternoon. He looked at Jerry and said, “You call and ask the major shareholders of the Saints to come out. I will ask them to be at Pier 15 tonight. For dinner, I want to talk to them."

Jerry said, "Good boss, I'll call to contact him right away."

"Well, let's go." Arthur looked at Jerry who had stood up and said, then looked at Courtis and said: "You will be with you tonight, I hope you can help me in the professional field to help me reduce the price ."

"Boss, what is your psychological price?" Kautis asked.

"My budget is 15 million pounds, but since they are eager to climb ashore, in addition to the current difficulties encountered in Southampton, they will not cut the price severely. I'm sorry for this good opportunity, 12 to 13 million pounds, save it How much money, how much money do you have as a club manager, so this negotiation is closely related to you." Arthur looked at Courtis with a bitter smile and smiled.

"Well, boss, I will try my best. I will go back and sort out the information of the saints later." Kautis smiled helplessly.

Jiang Lai, who had been sitting quietly next to Arthur and listening to the conversations of a few people, looked at Arthur from time to time in the process. As for Arthur's identity as a nobleman or an earl, he was almost digested. She was shocked and surprised, mainly because of accidents. She never thought that Arthur would be an earl. The earl, who was only 21 years old, was too young.

However, now listening to the tens of millions of pounds of business, she was not surprised at all. On the contrary, she felt that Arthur was so thief and intelligent in business at his age. There was a great feeling that he deserved to be rich.

There is also a hint of admiration in the eyes of Arthur. At this age, he can easily control tens of millions of pounds to do business. Is this the so-called aristocratic elite education in Britain?

"Buzz—"

At this moment, Arthur's cell phone rang, and Arthur looked at it, with a bright smile on his face, and picked it up.

"Boss, Loco London gold has been liquidated at a price ranging from US$1,049 to US$1,046 per ounce, with a profit of more than US$123 million. This time, the proceeds of London gold totaled more than US$240 million..."

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Smith Jama reporting the great news to him in a very excited voice. With a smile on his face, Arthur could not help but waved his fist with excitement. He glanced at and heard the content of the call. , And Jiang Lai was stunned again.

For the time being, Arthur ignored Jiang Lai who was completely confused, but after taking a deep breath, he said to the phone: "You have worked hard for these two days. Go back and have a rest and have a relaxing weekend. Don't worry, I will not be stingy. Bonus."

"No, boss, this is what I should do, and I haven't done anything, just..."

"Okay, I eat meat, so I can't let myself watch it. I'll talk about it later, I still have something here, so let's do it." As he said, Arthur hung up with a smile on his face. phone.
