The news was a big success, but it was a big success.
When Bates first heard the news from his assistant, he didn't care much. Leeds United's official website has been updated every day recently. What's so exciting about this?
He frowned and said to his assistant: "Why are you so flustered? When have they not updated their official website in the past few days?"
But the assistant's next sentence completely panicked Bates, because he said, but today's update is the news of Tevez's transfer to Manchester United!
This is impossible!
This is Bates' first thought after hearing the news.
Manchester United has not had any rumors with Tevez for more than ten days, and Ferguson also mentioned in a recent interview that Manchester United is considering whether to give up the pursuit of Tevez because the negotiations have not made progress.
Moreover, the two previous emails that Leeds United sent back to him did not mention that other clubs were competing for Tevez, but only emphasized that his offer did not reach their psychological price.
While Bates was still in a daze, Blackwell reacted first and hurried over to turn on the computer.
A minute later, a message on the top of the Leeds United official website, "Carlos Tevez transferred to Manchester United for 20 million euros", appeared in the eyes of the two.
The moment Bates saw this message, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead.
Blackwell's head seemed to be like a stuck machine, slowly turning around to look at Bates, with an incredible look on his face.
This shouldn't be the case. Didn't his boss just vow to bring Tevez to West Bromwich Albion today at a high price? He has already conceived the tactical system after Tevez comes, but now you tell me that he can't come?
Bates was on the verge of exploding, but he still had a little bit of luck in his heart. Could it be that the staff of Leeds United made a mistake? In fact, it was not Tevez who was transferred?
Thinking of this, Bates immediately closed the official website of Leeds United and began to enter the official website of Manchester United on the computer.
Because he was too excited, his typing hands were shaking a little, and the website address was not entered correctly. Later, Blackwell couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed the keyboard to enter the correct website address.
After a while, the homepage of Manchester United's official website appeared in front of the two.
The big red words "Welcome Carlos Tevez to Manchester United" caught the eyes of the two.
"Bang!" Seeing the official announcement of Manchester United, Bates, who was completely out of control, picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it hard on the ground. Then, he gasped and smashed everything that could be smashed in the office.
This made Blackwell and the other person who had never seen Bates lose his temper so dare not breathe.
After venting, Bates seemed to have used up all his strength. He sat down heavily on the sofa, his eyes closed, his hands covering his face, and said nothing.
Blackwell waited for a while, and when he saw that Bates was no longer moving, he thought about asking Bates what to do next.
After all, Tevez is definitely not available now. Before the transfer period ends, they must go to other places to find players, otherwise, with the current lineup, it will be difficult to stay in the league next season.
Blackwell thought for a while, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, then he gently approached the sofa and said, "Boss, what should we do now? We have to hurry up to find a replacement for Tevez."
Bates seemed not to hear Blackwell's words, and did not answer, but instead made a slight groan.
Blackwell, who was also in an anxious state, did not notice Bates's abnormality, but the young assistant next to him seemed to hear Bates' voice.
He also came over and called softly, "Boss?"
Bates still didn't respond. The young assistant felt something was wrong. He grabbed Bates' hands and moved them away from his face. As a result, the two found that Bates' right corner of his mouth was pulling out a weird smile, and a little saliva was also flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Call an ambulance!!! The boss seems to have a stroke!!!", Blackwell's shouting came from the office after a while.
As the culprit, Li Shiguang, he had always imagined that he just wanted to catch Bates off guard with this news, and it would be best if West Brom could be affected by the lineup problem after the start of the next season.
If the results are not good, Bates may be fired, and after being fired, Bates will definitely not pose any threat to him.
So in the past few days, he only asked Allen to pay attention to whether West Bromwich Albion has any new signings, and did not pay too much attention to Bates.
And other things have been enough to keep him busy these days.
Tevez's transfer to Manchester United once again put Leeds United and Li Shiguang on the cusp of the storm.
In the mouths of some media and extreme fans, Li Shiguang is completely an emotionless and extremely cold-blooded person. All the players of Leeds United are his tools to make money. In just one summer transfer period, almost all the meritorious main players of last season were sold.
Only a small number of fans still stand on Li Shiguang's side, because the club owes a huge loan, which is an inevitable link in any case. These fans also expressed understanding for Li Shiguang's behavior of selling several main players.
So in the past few days, almost every time Li Shiguang arrived at the club gate, he would be surrounded by a large number of media wanting to interview him. Later, Li Shiguang was annoyed. In desperation, Li Shiguang agreed to the local "Yorkshire Post" to accept an exclusive interview with them before the start of the new season. After agreeing to the interview, Li Shiguang's work and life slowly returned to the right track. He trained peacefully for half a month.
But at the end of July, the news about Bates finally reached Li Shiguang's ears.
That day, Li Shiguang had just finished training and returned to the office when there was a knock on the door outside.
After Li Shiguang responded, he saw Allen with a smile on his face and brisk steps walking in.
Seeing Allen's appearance, Li Shiguang was confused for a while. Before he asked, Allen took the initiative to say: "Boss, I have good news for you. West Bromwich Albion announced that Bates has resigned as the club manager!"
Hearing Allen's news, Li Shiguang was a little confused,
Alas! It doesn't make sense? The Premier League hasn't even started yet. Did Bates, the old man, get impeached and fired just because he didn't buy Tevez? But didn't Allen say before that most of the funds for West Bromwich Albion to buy Tevez were Bates's own? Even if they didn't buy him in the end, there's no reason for others to blame him!
As if he knew his boss's doubts, Allen continued, "According to reliable sources, on the day we announced Tevez's transfer, Bates seemed to have a tantrum in the office. Later, he was sent to the hospital for some reason, and then a few days ago, news came out that he seemed to have a stroke!"
Hearing what Allen said, Li Shiguang couldn't help laughing out loud, "Puff! You're so mentally ill and want to play business war with me?"
But at the same time, the biggest stone in Li Shiguang's heart was also put down.
Next, he will have no worries!
