road to victory

Chapter 64 Talk
The press conference in the afternoon was attended by Theo, François, Lange and the new chief financial officer Jean-Jacques-Laure.The number of reporters present was very average, and all the reporters present seemed to know what had happened, and there was no sign of any major news happening on their faces.

The entire press conference can be said to be uneventful. The reporters asked questions in a regular manner, and the four people above answered honestly.It wasn't until Theo said that Bordeaux's head coach would continue to be Vincent next season that the reporters below had some commotion.

After the press conference was over, the four of them went to the meeting room together, plus Fan Shang who was already waiting outside the door, the five of them closed the door when they entered the meeting.

"Today we are studying the plan for next season." Theo saw that everyone was seated, so he said.

Several people fell into silence together.Lange is a standard soy sauce party, and he is basically like some aunts in the Chinese dynasty when it comes to club affairs, only voting in favor.As for Francois and Lao Le, they had just arrived at their new positions and it was difficult to speak.Fan Shang thinks that there are still several games, especially a life-and-death battle with Bayern Munich, and it is a bit early for next season at this time.

Theo saw that these people were silent, so he was ready to order. "Fan Shang, you are the head coach of the team, please tell me first."

Fan Shang didn't expect Theo to look for him first, he thought that there were several tall people standing in front of him, so it would never be his turn. "Louis, I think it's too early to discuss this issue now?" Fan Shang hesitated to express his thoughts.

"Fan Shang, there are still a few games left before the end of the season. Aren't you going to report to the national team? How can you have time to make plans?" Theo said his reason.

"I still think it should be discussed at least after the UEFA Cup final?" Fan Shang insisted that it is too early

Theo thought for a while, and he felt that he was indeed a little too hasty. "Well, we should wait for the UEFA Cup to end. Vincent, do you have any thoughts on the UEFA Cup final?"

"Thank you, Louis, once you take out these bonuses, it will be more effective than my 90 minutes of encouragement and motivation." Vincent said after listening, "I think so, the players are in the second round against Bayern Munich. You will do your best in the game. And Louie, you will also become the president that the players love."

After the meeting ended, Vincent followed Francois to his office.

Fan Shang felt that this was nothing and said, "Theo should have some foresight, and he would not do the same thing as Nantes, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to take over the shares of Afleiroux."

"But Louis, don't you have a welcome gift for the team members? You know why Afleiroux is unpopular." Fan Shang suddenly turned his tone

"I know, but at that time, can he be allowed to invest all the income from the team's player sales into transfers, so there will probably be a lot. At least one Dugarry can replace a lot of young players." Vincent asked

"Agent? It should be possible, but I just need to take a qualification certificate." Francois didn't think about it, "What do you mean?"

Fan Shang first glanced at Francois in surprise, then took the contract and looked at it.After a few glances, Fan Shang said, "Louis, I don't think the contract can be signed now. I don't have time to read the content of the contract carefully. My mind is full of the second game against Bayern Munich. I will first sign the contract. Take it back, take some time to take a look, and I will start negotiations as soon as the final with Bayern Munich is over."

"Francois, why do I feel that something is wrong? Is there something wrong with you?" Vincent asked first.

"This is really three fires for the new official, I will burn it everywhere!" Fan Shang thought in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Francois didn't speak, just stared at Vincent.

"We are only one goal behind and we still have an away goal. From the point of view of the score, Bayern Munich has the advantage, but if we look at the form, we have the advantage. As long as we do not concede at home, we will have a big advantage. chances to win the UEFA Cup." Fan Shang said, "Louis, this UEFA Cup will be our gift to you!"

"You can resign if you don't like it." Fan Shang said very easily
"Resign? It's easy for you to say, I'm still looking for a job after resigning!" Francois glared at Fan Shang

"Okay, then you can negotiate the contract directly with Jacques." Theo said

"I do not have"

"Huh?" Theo asked suspiciously, "There is no need to ask. Of course the players don't like him because he doesn't vote a single franc. Ah, Vincent, I understand what you mean. Tell me, Jacques."

"I don't know how to choose players. It's up to you to introduce and sell players next season. But I don't know how much budget Theo can spend. You also know that his assets are not much, just a few A winery." Francois stopped talking about his resignation and started talking about the budget for next season.

Theo frowned, then nodded, "Okay, let's focus on the UEFA Cup now. You can take this contract back. Vincent, do you have an agent?"

The rest of the meeting is a few high-level discussions on next year's advertisements, broadcasts, publicity and other things.Vincent didn't listen carefully either, he kept thinking about Francois' current position in the club.

"Isn't it necessary now?" Francois had some doubts

Fan Shang was taken aback again, "Isn't the manager Francois? Why do I have to talk to the chief financial officer when I talk about the contract?" He was very puzzled.But the surface still nodded.

"Didn't you also see it just now, and I have nothing to hide from you. Although my relationship with Louis is not bad, I also have some friendship with Afleiro. I have always been a centrist in the club, and now Theo has become a member of the club. Chairman, it seems that I have been promoted, but the authority I can exercise now is not as good as before. Look at what I have to do, introduce and sell players, and the contract is to be negotiated with Lawle, not me as a manager. I I'm not a scout, and I'm not a coach. I don't know whether those players are good or bad. I'm a financial person who deals with numbers and money. Look now..." Francois was a little angry, he didn't understand why Theo squeezed him out as soon as he came up.

"You guys are really friendly." Theo beamed with joy.

"This is what I should do as the chairman. Why do players work hard for the club if they don't give bonuses?" Theo was very proud of Vincent's praise.

"Didn't you say I need an agent?"

"Don't worry, can you be a manager?" Fan Shang laughed

"Really, think about it carefully, but I hope you can still be the manager during the transfer period next season, so that it will be much easier for me to introduce players." Fan Shang got up and wanted to leave

"Let's talk about it at that time, maybe this budget will bypass me and be directly set by Theo and Laurel." Francois sighed

"That's someone else, if it's you, any time is suitable." Fan Shang spread his hands
"You really know how to joke, you don't need to comfort me like that, I feel much better." Francois thought Vincent said this to comfort him
Fan Shang shook his head, "I didn't read the joke, if you really don't want to be the manager of this club, I hope you will become my manager."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman," Laule said, "Mr. Chairman decided to increase this year's bonuses after taking over Aflerou's shares, especially the UEFA Cup bonus. The bonus for winning the runner-up is 200 million francs, while winning the championship The bonus is 500 million francs. There will be no additional bonuses in the league."

"Fan Shang, there is one more thing." Theo gestured to Lao Le with his eyes, and Lao Le took out a contract from the document bag knowingly, "You should also have a new contract, the original salary is really worthy Not on you."

"hope so"

"Okay, I'm going back to prepare for the game the day after tomorrow. I'll go first, I wish you good luck." Fan Shang said goodbye

"Good luck to you too, don't forget to check your contract," François instructed Vincent.

Fan Shang said that he was preparing for the game the day after tomorrow, but in fact he didn't care about the supplementary match of the league the day after tomorrow.The supplementary match is the 33rd round of the league between Bordeaux and Martigue at home.The game was originally scheduled for March 3, but Bordeaux will go to Prague to participate in the UEFA Cup on April 30, so the league has been delayed until now.
