Chapter 5: Paving the way for yourself

The 1994 World Cup England halted the qualifiers, which made the whole of England seem very quiet when the World Cup is coming. Even if the mainstream media still have to focus on reporting on the World Cup, before the official start of the World Cup, it is obvious that the domestic people are not concerned about the World Cup. topic.
The defending and successful Manchester United was only one step away from achieving the domestic triple crown, Albert, but unfortunately defeated Aston Villa at Wembley.
Blackburn, which was built with a lot of money, was very effective, and the runner-up had ambitions for the championship in the coming year.
Keegan’s Newcastle United team is a beautiful scenery in the Premier League. Under the pleasing offensive football, striker Andy Cole scored 41 goals in the season and 34 league goals were horrible. It is only rumor that Ferguson has Got an idea.
Svenden won only 5 games this season, scoring 100 goals...
Arsenal won the European Cup Winners' Cup...
The Premier League news has passed, and Millwall lost to Derbyshire in the upgrade play-off. This is not a news of special concern, but Aldridge suddenly broke into the press conference, and announced Hall. The family is in charge of the team's big news next season. This news deserves a great deal from reporters, because they can see that Millwall head coach is at a loss.
In England, the authority possessed by the head coach, or traditionally the role of Manager, is protected and respected.
If the team owner changes, but the head coach is in the dark, this is definitely big news.
Especially when the people who make the Millwall locker room shake from the inside to the outside are just a young man who has just turned eighteen, reporters are even more eager for such news.
Aldridge ignored the flooding outside, he sat quietly in the study at home, he could imagine that the Millwall Club was already in an earthquake.
The team has just lost hope of returning to the top league, and then, the new boss came to power. This is related to everyone's future and destiny. Naturally, no one can calm down.
Boom!
The knock on the door rang.
"Please come in."
Aldrich got up and greeted him. The group of people who walked into the study were headed by Andrew and Barnett. There were several middle-aged men in suits and suits behind him. They seemed to be the staff who came with Barnett.
Barnett turned his head and lost his eyes at the entourage, and then walked to Audridge with Andrew. The three came to the window, and the conversation was relatively quiet.
Barnett said with a little helplessness and complaint: "Audric, I am your brother, we are all from the Hall family, if you want money, just talk directly, I can give you a hundred, just I won’t give you ninety-nine and thirty million pounds. Although it’s not a small amount, but give me some time, I can still get it together. You take it, don’t say it, it will hurt our feelings.

Barnett's current net worth has exceeded 200 million pounds, but Audridge wants 30 million pounds, he will have to put out working capital, in the short term to raise funds naturally need to cash out stocks or sell investment industries.
Although they used to be not as poor as they used to be, they were not gangsters. After eight years, the Hall family flew into the sky, but the family's affection was not contaminated by copper odor. This was touched by Aldridge, but he still said rightly: "Brother , This is different."
Barnett frowned and stared at him, hoping for a reasonable explanation.
"The Millwall Club may be a toy for me, as long as it costs me only one goal: to be happy. But, in my eyes, this is a club, it is to spend money today, but also tomorrow Yes, the football club that is still needed ten years later, I need to get the club on the right track and need start-up funds. Brother borrowed me 30 million pounds, and I will return you 35 million pounds in five years. This is also a pressure on me If I can’t afford it after five years, then I will sell the club, so as not to burn and waste money. If I can pay back to my elder brother after five years, it means I’m successful. Elder brother, don’t you want to see a successful Aldridge?"
Barnett stared at Aldridge for a long time, and finally nodded. He nodded to the accompanying men and then turned back to Aldridge: "There is no interest, no five-year deadline, just sign. Just a contract."
The people he brought were naturally lawyers and business assistants. A loan contract was placed in front of Audridge. He signed his name without hesitation.
Barnett finally expressed regret at Aldridge because he also hoped that his birthday gift to his brother was a team that could kill the Premier League. Unexpectedly, Millwall remained in the Premier League.
After Barnett got married, he and his wife Leah lived in West London. After all, his company headquarters was over there, so he soon quit with only one middle-aged man.
The man was elegant and elegant, and took the initiative to introduce himself to Aldridge: "Hello boss, my name is Adam Jane. I have been the team’s chairman for the past two years. In addition to the team’s athletic affairs, I am taking care of it."
Aldridge looked at Adam up and down, then shook hands with him formally, and then extended his hand. The two sat down on the sofa against the wall in the study, and Andrew brought two cups of coffee consciously.
In terms of club management, Aldridge does not intend to intervene, but he wants to make clear his position with Adam.
Within the team, as long as the player and the game are involved, they must ask him.
Adam faced Aldridge 20 years younger than him, and had a feeling of being lifted by ears.
"Adam, what do you think of the club's future development?"
Adam put the coffee down again and solemnly said: "The new stadium plan shelved, I think it should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Having a better and larger stadium has a great impact on the club's revenue."
Aldridge nodded deeply, but he still said: "This is not urgent, I mean business strategy. First, I have a question. If you find you are offended, please forgive me. Do you understand commercial football? ?"
Adam was stunned and frowned, saying tentatively, "Listing the club as a stock like Manchester United?"
Aldrich shook his head and said lightly: "You must have had a general understanding of football for two years at the club, but I ask you, which club in England is the most successful?"
"Manchester United."
"Last thirty years?"
"Manchester United."
"Why did Liverpool become the king of Europe after Real Madrid, when Manchester United relegated to the second level, the most successful club in England, or Manchester United?"
Adam frowned, it seemed difficult to answer.
This is a very strange phenomenon. In the era of King Liverpool's four European Championships, fans of the Red Army admitted that Manchester United is more favored by the outside world, and even Manchester United is relegated. Manchester United is still an indispensable Manchester United.
It seems that Manchester United has a temperament, that their players and coaches are the best, and that they should be the best, arrogant and unhumble gestures, which makes Manchester United an alternative in European and even world football.
The Manchester United that the Edwards family has worked tirelessly to build is a commercial Manchester United, not Manchester City Manchester United, but Manchester United in the world.
In the early 21st century, why Manchester United, which has only two Champions League champions, can be compared with the giants such as AC Milan and Real Madrid that have a record in Europe?
Even in the first two years of Real Madrid's superstar policy, Manchester United's jersey sales profit is still ten times that of Real Madrid!
Manchester United is on top of the commercial value of sports clubs.
Seeing Adam in deep contemplation, Aldridge said softly to him: "The commercial marketing of the football club is based on results. At present, the team is only a team in the English second-level league next season, so I will not give you Pressure, but when my team becomes a high-profile team in England’s top arena, you have to play an important role. Until then, you will be free to manage the club. The task I give you is simple, that is Study, learn Manchester United, learn all Manchester United business operations, so be it."
When Adam left, he glanced at the handsome Audridge. The lucky thoughts that despised before he came had long since vanished.
Aldridge asked Adam to steal Manchester United and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After Frentino took over Real Madrid, he learned Manchester United's commercial marketing methods. When he finally found out that he was only one Beckham, he took Beckham to Madrid. Since then, Real Madrid's commercial value has increased day by day. , And gradually began to fight with Manchester United.
When he sent Adam back to the study, Audridge found that Andrew was looking through his notebook. Andrew bowed his head and swept it. The dense tactical notebook above contained Audrich's experience. Then he put the notebook and turned to express his solemn expression. Dao: "The club is going to be turned upside down, and even some players have already submitted applications for transfer.
Aldridge was not surprised at all. He sat down and said: "It's normal. Perhaps many people think that the 18-year-old boss will only use the team as a toy. Just now I have given Adam a list. The club first team I only Two people were left, a left back, a goalkeeper, and others, listed above 22 years old, those under 22 who want to leave without blocking, do not want to leave to go to the reserve team."
Aldridge has specialized in the team’s lineup and eventually left goalkeeper Catherine Keller, a 25-year-old goalkeeper and a 17-year-old Australian full-back Lucas Neal.
The other main members are either old or Aldrich believes there is no potential to tap.
He wants to take over the team, the first is the locker room.
An 18-year-old young man who wants a group of players over 25 in the locker room to listen to him?
dream!
Therefore, Aldridge pave the way for himself with the simplest means.
Sell ​​all those who are not obedient.
He has no time to test the player's reaction, and this summer he is destined to be busy.
