Chapter 359

Chapter 359 The Signboard of a Conscientious Merchant
After the game against Leeds United, the Notts County Club held a small-scale party in the first restaurant to celebrate the team getting rid of the shadow of the four-game losing streak, defeating Leeds United, welcoming the arrival of the new year, and sending off captain Harvey by the way lonso.

Such a wonderful idea, I am afraid that only the stingy Zhao Tai can come up with it.When someone asked this question, Zhao Tai was able to put on a confident look:
"No way, I was also forced, who made our club poor..."

The fans who participated in the gala were all the lucky ones drawn during the intermission. They not only got gifts from the club, but also got the opportunity to take photos with Notts County players and coaches. Most importantly, some forum hosts The coach can still be with the chairman of the club, Wei Xun, and talk about the future of the club. Maybe he can cash in all the bullshit he once boasted!

As a professional player, it is natural not to eat and drink with an open appetite. The rich Chinese food is also absent. The party arranges some healthy food. Except for the four kinds of beef, sheep, fish and chicken, all These are relatively cheap fruits and vegetables, which invisibly save a lot of money.

Anyway, it's Chinese New Year, Zhao Tai also made up for it in another way, everyone who participated in the party will have red envelopes and gifts, and if they are lucky, they can get even more lucrative prizes in the final interactive session.

Notts County has a large population. Instead of asking everyone to eat "healthy meals" with the players, it is better to open a table alone.At the party scene at the No. [-] restaurant in Notts County, the food on the table was more complete, combining Chinese and Western, except for a few big dishes, all of which were placed on the middle row of tables in the form of self-service.

The Notts County staff and the players’ families were eating sumptuous dishes, holding mellow Chinese baijiu in their hands, watching the interaction between players and fans in the No. [-] restaurant on the big screen, just like future generations watching a reality show same joy.

Wei Xun, Marotta and others are not professional players, and several managers who don't need to play football also ran to the second restaurant immediately after the party to eat and drink.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a nonsense to eat Hesai, and it is not an exaggeration to eat some fruit just now, so it is an appetizer.

……

That night, Wei Xun, Marotta, and Mendes got drunk again, and woke up very late the next day. Their head was still heavy, their whole body was dizzy, and they even wobbled a little when they walked.Huang Yingying thoughtfully prepared hangover soup and brought it to Wei Xun, but Wei Xun didn't bother to drink it. The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask the office to send an official letter to Leeds United in the name of Notts County Club. paperwork, asking for transfer offers for two players, James Milner and Aaron Lennon.

"It's great to get the jersey contract of the Magpie Sports. It's easy to get some money to subsidize the family. If you force me to drive an excavator to dig your corner, you will be happy..."

In fact, during the match yesterday, Wei Xun was somewhat upset.Leeds United will soon be a team in the second-tier league, and the contract is still at the bottom of the Premier League. If the contract is successful, it will be a record high in the history of the Magpies.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and they are almost out of control, but they are still pretentious.

Being rejected by others in the box at home is such a shameful thing, Wei Xun is not a magnanimous gentleman, so he has to warn these Leeds United guys no matter what.

Wei Xun imagined the expressions of the management of Leeds United and the firefighting coach promoted from the youth team when they saw this document. He couldn't help but feel a little better, and took a drink of sober soup:

"Ah...comfortable, cool!"

……

The transfer window is about to open, and at that time there will be a wave of official announcements, but the Barcelona club has readily paid the liquidated damages at this time, tearing up the previously signed transfer agreement with Notts County on Riquelme.The reason is simple. Although Riquelme cannot perfectly meet Rijkaard's expectations, there is really no better choice on the market.

Players and clubs at the beginning of the century were relatively willing to abide by the spirit of the contract. Even if Barcelona did not sell people, they notified Notts County in advance and paid liquidated damages.

Don't come if you don't come, the team's reserves are enough for the time being, and the Notts County midfielders who have supplemented Yaya Toure, Rivaldo, and Edgar Davis are full of talents, let alone half a season Deco, who will return in the future, is a world-class midfielder.

At that time, Notts County's three offensive engines in the frontcourt will also play with the entire Dream Team.

Over the past three years, there are also many young players in the Shuguang Youth Training Camp in Notts County who cannot play in the first team in Notts County. With the contract expiring in six months, the Notts County Club These players need to be helped to find new clubs.

The age of 16 is a watershed. Whether to choose to go professional or try a new life path, this is something that many young players and their parents need to consider.But at the age of seventeen or eighteen, some players still need to make another choice:
Whether to go to the small team to play the main force first, or to be a substitute in the big team, or to give up football.

Sutton United, Northampton, and Maidenhead United are naturally the first choices for players recommended by Wei Xun, Marotta, and Mendes. These three League One and League Two teams have a good relationship with Notts County. He is also an old customer of the player business.

I dare not say it in League One, but the Notts County brand is very popular in League Two and the National League.

Rotherham recognized the sign of Notts County's youth training very much. The official document they sent brought a lot of excitement to the management of Notts County Club, and Wei Xun was even a little excited:
"Big client!"

Yes, if you want three players from the Notts County youth training at one time, you can definitely be regarded as a big customer.

Rotherham hope to sign 17-year-old striker Alan Ascham, Nigeria winger Giovanni and England full-back Edwards.But because they don't have a complete scouting system, these players need to go to trial training first, and the trial training time is one week.

"It's a reasonable request, gentlemen, isn't it?"

Wei Xun thought it was nothing, and Mendes and Marotta both nodded. Now is the time for the Notts County youth academy to open up the market. Wei Xun hopes to distribute the players produced by the Shuguang Youth Academy to the world's major leagues. dreamer.

For those newly opened stores, don't they often engage in some preferential reward activities?Gifts, discounts, and chartered car transfers are all common routines, and Notts County can learn from them appropriately.

Therefore, Marotta replied to Rotherham in the format of the club's official document, agreeing that the three players would go to Rotherham for trial training, and Notts County would be responsible for the round-trip transportation and all expenses during the player's trial training.

The word-of-mouth and club image of a conscientious businessman spread in the English football circle.

In some other clubs, for such small players with half a year left on their contracts, they used to be left to fend for themselves.If he was really talented, he would have been drawn to the first team or the reserve team a long time ago. No matter how bad he was, he would have already completed his contract renewal, and it was impossible to let him go for free.

Notts County Club is a good club that helps find a new home and pays for trial training. You can count them on your fingers, and there are not many.
