Chapter 9 The pace of building a new team
"Mr. Kilby, now that I have become the head coach of the club, I am going to enter my work state. I have already thought about the players the club needs for the new season. I would like to ask how much the club can give me as a transfer fee .” After the press conference, George and Kilby returned directly to the club.In Kilby's office, George asked the most important questions directly.

Kilby made coffee for George himself, and then said with a smile, "George, it's not that you have thought about it, but many people have already contacted you." George nodded while drinking coffee. "George, this time the board of directors has made a great determination to support you. The club will give you a transfer fee of 130 million pounds. I hope you will not disappoint the board of directors."

At £130m, George nearly jumped up and kissed Kilby. £130 million is nothing to those Premier League teams.But for Burnley, which is struggling in the second division, it is definitely a huge amount of money.Even in the First Division, the transfer funds of those middle and lower teams for a year are just that little.

"Thank you, Mr. Kilby. I will not let the club down." George was ecstatic. With 130 million pounds, the team in George's mind can be truly completed.

…………

After George came out of Kilby's office, a coaches meeting was held immediately.Although those coaches, George, are relatively familiar, he should see them all now as the head coach.

"Let me introduce you, everyone knows Karl Parter. Wilkinson will be in charge of the club's youth team from now on, Karl Parter will appear in the first team. Next to me is Evan Sawyer, This season will also join our coaching staff." George first introduced Karl Pat and Evan Sawyer to them.Then introduce a few people here to Evan Sawyer. "Here's Coach Thompson, Coach Carmel Thomas, Coach Sani Griffin, Coach Wilkinson. At the end is our captain, Mitchell King."

George's coaching team is relatively simple. If it is not for the promotion of Carl Pater and the introduction of Evan Sawyer, there are only three coaches.The three coaches are basically veteran coaches of the club.At least I have been in the club for more than 20 years, and the level of coaching is entirely based on my own experience.

"In the future, everyone will eat in the same pot, and everyone is familiar with it, so I will not be polite to you. The board of directors gave us a transfer fee of 130 million pounds this year, and I already have a goal for the new season. Carl, let me talk about it first. The situation of those two players." After everyone sat down, George was not polite at all.

Except for Karl Pater, who just turned 50, and Evan Sawyer, who was just under [-], the other coaches here are all in their [-]s.George knew that these coaches were dissatisfied with George.So George didn't think that he would be able to convince them all at once, and they would naturally have nothing to say when George's results came out.

Carl didn't expect George to be the first to ask himself, but he still took out the notes in his pocket very quickly. "Gary Breen did well at Gillingham. As a defender, he can header and block. Gillingham is only in the third division. They want [-] pounds. As for Darren Huckabee in the third division The league is very famous, and many clubs are very interested in him, so at least it should cost more than [-] pounds."

Thompson, Thomas and others next to him looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect George to have already figured out which players to introduce without any discussion.Although when we usually work together, we already know that George has a strong personality.But he never thought that George would come to this trick.

"In this way, Carl. Gary Breen and Darren Huckabee must win £20. This matter is left to you. You must see both of them in the new season." George cursed money in his heart Rampant in the football world, Gary Breen and Darren Huckabee would not have had £[-] combined if it had been last year.

"Evan, the Crewe team failed to upgrade, right? What does Danny Murphy say?" George already knew that the Crewe team could not be promoted, and Danny Murphy, a rising star, George is bound to win.

Although Evan Sawyer came to the Burnley team for the first time, he still had a grinning expression. "George, I have met Danny Murphy's agent. He is willing to come to our club, but the transfer fee should be between 20 and 30 pounds. It is not very cheap anyway." Evan said Give George an ambiguous look, and George understands it at a glance.Evan must have promised Danny Murphy's agent a huge kickback, so George also gave him a smile.

"Evan, 30 pounds is too expensive. Around 20 pounds is not a problem. Who made Murphy have English nationality. Nationality is also very valuable in our country." George is very dissatisfied with the inflated value of English players.

After talking to Karl Pater and Evan Sawyer, George turned to Thompson. "Thompson, I have already talked with Mitchell. In the current lineup, Ian Coyd, Miller, and Grant must stay. As for David Ward, Aman Donaldson, Smith, Clements can stay. The rest of the midfielders are on the market. They're not in my plans."

"Wilkinson, Daniel Morrison and Ashley Chapman were transferred to the first team." Daniel Morrison and Ashley Chapman are George's favorite students in the youth team, The first thing George thought of after he became the head coach was to transfer the two of them to the first team.

George has been the club's coach for five years and knows everything about the Burnley club.Up to some directors of the club, down to the gatekeepers and the staff who repair the stadium are very familiar with it.So the players who need to stay in the new season are well known.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" George asked the few people present after he finished talking about himself.

Several people present looked at each other, not knowing what to say.I never thought that George would be so strong and finish everything he wanted to say. "It seems that there is nothing to do, so each is busy. Evan, please stay."

Seeing everyone else leave the office, George said to Evan, "How much kickback did you promise Danny Murphy's agent?"

"Two thousand pounds." Evan whispered in George's ear.

"Two thousand pounds, not much. Just deduct it from your salary. Anyway, Evan, I never promised to give a kickback to the agent. This is a foul. You can figure it out yourself." George laughed and left The office doesn't care about Evan's cry behind him.

…………

After the meeting, Burnley moved quickly.Within a few days, the people George needed were settled one after another. Gary Breen moved from Gillingham to Burnley for 12 pounds, and Darren Huckabee moved from Lincoln City to Burnley for 21 pounds.Danny Murphy's transfer price was slightly higher at £37.In this way, the transfer fee of the three reached [-] pounds.

Immediately afterwards, Burnley reached an agreement with Zizkov Victoria, and Poborski moved to Burnley at a price of 40 pounds.There are also Ballack and Klose who signed in for free. The six people in George's plan have already completed their transfers.

But at this time, George found out that only £77 was spent after calculation.The board of directors has allocated a transfer fee of 130 million pounds, and George will not save this money.If George fails to lead Burnley to a good result at the end of the season, the board will not praise George's frugal style.

So George turned his idea to the Crewe team again, who made the Crewe team not only a competitor for promotion, but also a lot of good players in the team.This time George's target was Irish midfielder Neil Lennon.If Danny Murphy is just a new star with unlimited potential, then Neil Lennon is a star who can compete as a player.

However, Neil Lennon is the absolute main force of the Crewe team, and the Crewe team is definitely unwilling to sell to Burnley's own main players.But money is a good thing in this world. No matter how tough the Crewe team is, as a second-tier team, they can't resist the offensive of money.In addition, at this time, European football generally did not pay much attention to midfielders, so Burnley finally bought this powerful midfielder for a price of 36 pounds.

The final transfer George bought powerful center Richard Brody from Stockport. Richard Brody scored twelve goals in the second division last season. The main striker of the Kegang team.Stockport didn't want to give up the main center forward, but when Burnley threw out 26 pounds, they immediately gave up the center forward.Richard Brody is [-] years old and has been playing in the lower leagues.For such a player, one hundred thousand pounds is already an astronomical figure.George actually looked down on strikers like Richard Brody, he could only play in the low-level leagues.But in the lower leagues, players like Richard Brody who have been around for many years are still very necessary.

So far, all of George's transfer work in the new season has basically been completed.

In this way, the Burnley team in the new season has 24 people.
