world number one assists

For these executives who are mixed in the British football circle, sitting in the position of chairman of the FA (British Football Association) has basically reached the pinnacle of their careers.

If you want to go further, you must have a place in UEFA and FIFA.And if you want to occupy a place in these two organizations, you must have the escort of the FA, which complements each other.

Thompson is the best of the previous FA presidents, much better than his predecessor, because he not only holds power in the FA, but is also the vice-chairman of UEFA and FIFA.

How much power does the chairman of the FA have?

Let's put it this way, the management of the FA is so streamlined that it is far from comparable to other football associations.

In addition to Thompson, the chairman and secretary-general, the remaining three are representatives of the Premier League and the Football League. Counting the national team and officials in charge of various places, there are a total of 10 people.

This is what the FA management is all about. As the leader of the ten, I can imagine how happy Thompson's life is.

Thompson has been in this position for 7 years, and if nothing else, he wants to stay in this position forever.

But his hope was shattered by that idiot Eriksson.

This idiot actually said that there is a corruption problem within the FA. Isn't that pointing to his bald head and saying there are lice?

Do you know how his predecessor stepped down?

Because of bribery in the bid to host the World Cup!

If Thompson thinks that he will step down one day, it must be like his predecessor, for the great cause of England's bid to host the World Cup. How can he step down because of such a thing?

If you want him to dismiss get out of class, Eriksson should get the hell out first!

Internal consensus was reached. After everyone collectively sent Eriksson, the Swede, out of class, it was great. The question is, who will take over the coach left by the Swede?

The first name that popped into Thompson's mind was Bobby Robson.

There are three reasons.

One, he's English!

Second, the old Robson has been dismissed from Newcastle for more than a year, and they don't need to pay liquidated damages.After all, after they sent away the Swedes like the plague gods, they had no food left.

Third, the old Robson is the coach with the best record after England won the World Cup at home in 66.

But old Robson was sick.

The old man started his fifth battle with cancer. Although the old man said that he could bring the World Cup to the end, Thompson still had no idea.

At this age, let's put aside his grades and grades. What if he was stimulated by something on the sidelines, and the old man really fell on the sidelines?

This cannot be done.

Unless...England really has no one available...

Are there any other options for England?

As I said before, there are only more than a hundred people in England who have obtained the coaching certificate that can coach the Premier League. Some obviously unreliable and inexperienced are kicked out, and the rest are even fewer.

In addition to the old Robson, there are currently Allardyce, Redknapp, Pierce and other English coaches who are currently coaching the Premier League for the FA to choose from.

But in Thompson's eyes, they are all spare tires.

Before joining the FA, he was also in the Premier League circle. He is familiar with these people, and none of them are top-notch. It is a bit reluctant to say that they are second-rate.

Since they are all coaching the Premier League, it also means that they all have contracts, and their termination fee is also paid by the FA, which is not a small amount of money.

If the record is excellent, it is not impossible to pay this money, but their record...is not very convincing.

At this time, Thompson was so envious of the Italians that he didn't want to. Apart from other things, all kinds of famous coaches really caught one by one, one after another.

We don't have a world-class midfielder in England, why don't we even have a famous coach?

So, foreign marshals?

Such as Capello, Scolari, etc.?

If there is no huge liquidated damages and only huge wages, the FA can still afford world famous coaches.

But no one is willing to really make such a decision, and the root of it lies in Eriksson, a Swede.

Everyone hasn't forgotten the stupid thing Eriksson did. This is a typical example of a rat droppings ruining a pot of porridge.

So Thompson discussed and discussed with other friends, and in the end he decided to turn his mind on Ferguson again.

Is Ferguson a better candidate than Wenger and Mourinho?

Yes.

Not only Thompson thinks so, but also their mascot president Prince Andrew and the next mascot president Prince William think so.

Moreover, Mourinho is a Portuguese and Wenger is a Frenchman. Why not invite Ferguson if they can be selected?

Although Ferguson is a Scot, Scotland is also a part of the UK after all, so it cannot be considered a foreigner. To call Ferguson an old-fashioned British coach, who do you think is against it?

To be honest, Thompson and the others are not all idiots in their heads. They know very well that England—ordinary people really can't move it!

Not to mention anything else, just the Chelsea faction, the Manchester United faction, the Liverpool faction, and the negligible Arsenal faction who have not made any contribution to England at all, who can handle it in just a few months?

The reason why McLaren, the disgusting Swede's assistant, is on the list of spare tires is because he knows these people well, and everyone has gotten along with them.

Ferguson is different. He doesn't have this trouble. To put it bluntly, Beckham used to be the face of the Three Lions. If he takes over, he will be the biggest player in England!

From a tactical point of view, England played 442 for ten thousand years, which is also very suitable tactically.

The FA's small group held several meetings, and even the two mascots, Prince Andrew and Prince William, believed that Ferguson was far more reliable than others...if he could be moved.

So this kind of burden falls on Thompson, who is usually so excited, but now he is busy with a broken leg.

Thompson doesn't want to be with the Scottish old man forever, he just wants to have it in this World Cup.

For this reason, he also prepared a topic that he thought was good——

"Fergie, you said before that as long as we give you absolute trust, you agree to take over?"

Such a misinterpretation of his words!Ferguson almost greeted him with an international lingua franca!

How can you be so thick-skinned?

Thompson used his thick skin to prove why he was able to become the chairman of the FA. The most successful man among British football executives, after the old man ignored him, he started hugging his thigh and desperately said the set of rhetoric he had prepared .

Is this rhetoric useful?

He had to finish talking about whether it was useful or not, and Ferguson still wanted to give him the face.

Although famous coaches like Wenger, Mourinho and Ferguson seem to be angry at the FA in front of the media at every turn, they are actually very measured when they spray, and they don't want to offend the FA too much.

What will happen if you offend the FA?

Remember the Manchester Derby that just ended?

The blind man who is more terrifying than Bendtner has already been arranged, and the terrifying schedule of three matches in six days will come on Boxing Day next season.

The Football Association of any country is no exception, this is their right, let them "defend dignity".

In addition to patting his chest to promise absolute trust and checks, Thompson also hinted at the two princes and queens.

Although the position of England coach is a pot for Ferguson, this pot is of extraordinary value in the eyes of others.

Look at the old Robson, who is seriously ill and wants to do his best for the Queen; look at Redknapp, Pierce and Allardyce who can't fight for this coach, it shows that this position is very important for the real England coach It is very attractive.

But they are not Ferguson.

Because the red-nosed old man has something they don't have. He has an empire of his own.

So Thompson was still very nervous. He didn't know how Ferguson would reject him, but he was already mentally prepared.

If he is rejected again this time, he will consider asking Prince Andrew to communicate with Ferguson again. If not, he will have to choose a temporary coach from among those spare tires.

The so-called learning from a fall, the FA decided to only give a short-term contract this time, and let's talk about it after the World Cup.If the grades are good, the contract can be renewed. If the grades are not good, don't prevent us from making substitutions to prepare for Euro 08!

But Thompson may have been lucky, and he called at the right time.

Ferguson was not impulsive, but what he valued most was undoubtedly his dignity and his power.

While Thompson was making a tirade, he was also thinking about a question-why would I have a conflict with the new boss?

The answer is so obvious: because of a crisis of confidence.

Why is there a crisis of confidence?

Because the old Duke of Portland wanted to buy Manchester United, questioning his position because of the importance he attached to Randall.

This is not what Ferguson wants.

Smart people don't always fight against the boss, he has done this before, what's the result?

He should learn from the previous lessons.

He also reviewed himself and found that he overestimated his position in Glazer's heart——

He originally thought that his position was stable, whether it was the British aristocratic boss or the American boss, he had to win him over, and even curry favor with him.

But Glazer has proved with his actions that he doesn't understand football, he can even read reporters from third-rate tabloids to tell stories, he can't understand the value of Randall, he won't settle accounts from the perspective of a club owner, and his mind is not big enough , and he didn't have the honor and championship he wanted in his chest.

If it was before, when the quarrel happened, Ferguson would pretend that it never happened, but this time Ferguson had a different idea.

This does not mean that his position has changed. He still does not want to get involved in the battle between the Americans and the old duke and become their bargaining chip. He just wants to jump out of this "middle circle". After he jumps out, there is still such a big stadium. wait for him.

And he wants to stand on the sidelines and watch their match, this should be his position!

So in Thompson's shock, Ferguson said, "Let's talk terms, Jeff."

Thompson quickly fixed his dislocated jaw, wishing he could lift Ferguson to the sky immediately.

Even if he has to bear the blame of the Three Meows, Ferguson will only accept a short-term contract, which means that it will only last until the end of this World Cup. FA to communicate.

Thompson originally wanted to say, isn't it up to you?

But he recalled it in time, why did Ferguson suddenly change his mind?Considering recent news, that £10...

Thompson got it!

Although Manchester United's change of boss has nothing to do with the FA, if the FA chooses the American boss or the British Duke, this is not a multiple-choice question at all.

They have nothing to do with the American social circle, but the old duke is different, and any Englishman can understand the difference.

Thompson readily agreed, and naturally Ferguson had the final say on other details.

The phone call didn't take long, and the anger in Ferguson's heart had completely dissipated after hanging up the phone.

Regret?

of course not.

Although there is an extra layer of heavy burden, and the reputation of the world may be ruined, but Ferguson thought, if I can't make it to the finals, will I not be able to make it to the top 8?Taking over temporarily is enough for a job.

He doesn't have such a heart, and he's even a fart!

Besides, what if he took a cup?Of course... the first time to find old Robson to show off!

Ferguson made up his mind and received a call from David Gill within minutes.

The so-called Manchester United management of course refers to Jill.

When Jill received a call from Thompson a few minutes ago, he was so confused that he didn't want it. Thompson kept saying that Ferguson agreed. To get the approval of their management, of course he had to ask his old friend why he suddenly changed his position.

After briefly introducing what happened, Ferguson said flatly: "I don't want to get involved."

But what would Glazer think if you did this?What will the fans think?What will the media write about it?Is this "non-involvement"?

But the CEO didn't say it out loud, because this was already Ferguson's position, and he understood the old Scottish man.

It is not a problem to cut the transfer fee, tighten the belt, and not buy superstars.

The old Glazer may think that such a Ferguson is easy to talk to, but he has overlooked one point——

What Ferguson wants to be the emperor of the red empire, what he wants is to expand the territory, he wants red to sweep across Europe, if he deprives him of the joy of competing for victory and interferes with his employment, this old man will stand up to anyone Sharp!

On this day, Alex Ferguson, who is nearly seventy years old, once again made a major choice in his coaching career.

As always, he obeyed his heart without hesitation or turning back.

The author has something to say:

The British media cheat their own people so much that it is too difficult to write. Every time there is a competition, there will be troubles. If you don’t kill yourself, you will be sorry for their pen.

Seems like too much work for an old man, but journalists all over Britain have work to do.

Ferguson is in charge, believe me, there will be endless excitement and good shows.
