Although he was madly complaining about Garrone's unscrupulous behavior in his heart, on the surface, George still had to pretend to be having a good conversation with the other party. After all, although Sampdoria has been severely damaged after nearly ten years of tossing by former chairman Mantovani, and has completely lost the style of the "Golden Samp" period, the current situation of Tottenham can also be considered It's not that good. Compared with Sampdoria, it's at best a step back. Moreover, George, who has been studying with Robson and Ferguson, has not had the opportunity to accumulate contacts in Italy. Therefore, George naturally wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get close to Garrone to see if he could find a partner for Tottenham on the Apennine Peninsula.
As for Garona's character and whether his moral integrity is sufficient, I'm sorry, this is not George's consideration at all. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are careful, there will be no disciples. No matter who you are, most of the time it is best not to have too high or strict demands on others, because doing so may make you unpopular with others, or even isolate you from others. For the professional football circle, which pays attention to connections and relationships, being isolated by people is obviously a very dangerous thing. Therefore, as long as Garrone can ensure mutual benefit and reciprocity during the cooperation between Tottenham and Sampdoria and not deliberately dig holes for Tottenham, then George can tolerate the other party's things that he dislikes without causing harm to himself and Tottenham. the behavior of.
"Boss, what is going on?" At this time, Marotta, who rushed to Sampdoria headquarters in a hurry after receiving Garrone's call, appeared at the door of the room panting. However, when the general manager was surprised to find that the atmosphere at the scene was not as solemn as he had imagined, and that his boss was chatting and laughing with a stranger, he suddenly became angry and his words became unpleasant. Some: "Mr. Chairman, didn't you say on the phone that you had urgent matters to discuss with me? Is this the 'big deal' you told me?"
"Haha, Giuseppe (Marotta), calm down first. It's my fault this time. I didn't make it clear on the phone before, which caused you to misunderstand... Okay, Giuseppe, don't get angry. It will have a bad impact if the guests see it." Naturally, Garrone couldn't put it on the table to sell Marotta, the club's general manager, on his own initiative. Therefore, the oil businessman chose to express his wishes in another way, which was to directly leave the task of playing white face to George: "Let me introduce to you, this is the owner of Tottenham Hotspur Club , Viscount George Nelson.”
"Hello, Manager Marotta." Since he had seen Marotta's photo on the file before, George recognized this middle-aged man who was only forty-six years old and whose head had already developed into a bright head. Man, "Let me introduce myself, I am the owner of Tottenham Hotspur and the manager of this club, George Nelson. I am very happy to have the opportunity to meet you... In addition, it is my request to Ricardo (Canada) Ronai), he said he wanted to see you here, that’s why he made this move, please don’t take it personally.”
It’s not your fault, it’s my fault! Seeing that George's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere, Marotta did not immediately turn around and walk away. However, realizing that he had been deceived, he still glared at Garrone who was sitting on the boss's chair from an angle that George could not see, and then he pulled up a chair and sat down: "Nelson Sir, I wonder what you plan to discuss with us when you come to Sampdoria this time?"
Being able to climb from a low-level club step by step to his current position as general manager of Sampdoria, Marotta relies not only on his shrewd management methods and ruthless vision of people, but his ability to observe people's emotions is also top-notch among his peers. level. In fact, Marotta had already made a rough guess about the situation at this time from some clues he found, but he was not completely sure yet. That's why Marotta directly raised the topic, intending to see if things would develop as he suspected. The Tottenham chairman actually had a plot against someone from Samp.
Seeing what Marotta said, George first glanced at Garrone, and after seeing the other party nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay, he said: "Well, then I will just get to the point. Manager Marotta, I don't know Do you have any thoughts about changing your work environment? For example, to serve as general manager and CEO of Tottenham Hotspur?"
Hearing George's words, Marotta was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Garrone not far away with an unbelievable look. The meaning in his eyes could not be clearer: I have worked hard for you for a season, After finally pulling Sampdoria out of the quagmire of Serie B, Garrone, you actually treat me like this, the hero of promotion? !
"Well, George, Giuseppe. I still have some things to deal with. You guys are chatting here for now. I'll go out and finish the things first, and then I'll come back and have a drink with you." Marotta was staring at her all over. Feeling at ease, Garrone quickly found an excuse and slipped out of the office. He knew that things had reached this point and that Marotta's departure from Samp was almost a certainty. As for whether he can convince Marotta, it depends on George's own ability.
"I have already paid for an excellent general manager... So, no matter what, I must get that check. Otherwise, this business will be a real loss." Before leaving this room At that time, what Garrow was thinking about was still the huge check of US$5 million issued by George. And Garrone's smiling expression fell into the eyes of Marotta, who knew nothing about the private transaction between the two, and was immediately understood by the general manager to mean that the other party had finally driven him away. It’s a thorn in the side and I’m filled with joy.
Therefore, less than ten minutes after Garrone left the office, Marotta, who had recovered from the shock, agreed to George's invitation and expressed his willingness to leave Samp to work at Tottenham. Of course, it is naturally impossible for Marotta, who still has a contract, to sign another work contract. He can only sign an agreement with George first, to the effect that as long as he leaves Samp, he must accept the offer from Tottenham. The position of general manager and CEO of the club - obviously, after being cheated by Kenyon once, George also learned well and knew that what he said on his lips was simply unreliable, and he had to put what he had agreed on on paper into practice. The agreement must be signed by both parties.
In this way, three days later, Tottenham finally announced the third personnel appointment after the change of ownership on the official website, that is, the appointment of former Sampdoria general manager Giuseppe Marotta as Tottenham Hotspur's new general manager. General Manager and CEO of the Club!
Marotta's appointment has caused quite a stir in the English football world, which has always had a xenophobic tradition. Many people questioned Tottenham's move, believing that it would allow a man who is not well-known, is not familiar with English football, and is not even playing at the top level. It is a bit too childish for a guy who has served at a league club to hold such an important position.
What's more, in the eyes of these people, England definitely has no shortage of talents in this area: "Even if Tottenham can't dig out players of Kenyon and David Dein's level, they can still go to those mid-to-lower clubs. Is it necessary to poach someone like David Gill, who is suppressed by Kenyon, to go to Italy to poach the general manager of a second-division club?"
Although what these people say is indeed reasonable, and most fans who have read these reports and analyzes cannot help but believe what they say, George is one of the few exceptions. He has great faith in the memories of his past life. He firmly believes that gold will shine wherever it goes. He believes that Marotta is definitely qualified for this position and has made Tottenham Hotspur make great progress at all levels, including sports and economy. !
After all, these memories from past lives are obviously much more reliable than those of so-called "experts." This can be seen from George's investment in Apple and Google, which have risen as strongly as in previous lives.
As for whether Marotta will take the opportunity of being the CEO of Tottenham to install some of his cronies within the club, leading to fierce factional fighting within the Tottenham management, which will have a negative impact on Tottenham's performance in the new season, George I think the chance of this happening is still low. Because in his previous life, Marotta had never behaved like this during his tenure at Sampdoria and Juventus, so in this life, when he arrived at Tottenham, a place he was unfamiliar with, the chances of him making such a move were also low. It's very high.
What's more, John, who was entrusted by George with the important task of Tottenham chairman, is not a vegetarian. If Marotta really dares to play the trick of nepotism, then John's butcher knife will fall on Marotta's head immediately, and then he will know who is the real owner of White Hart Lane!
Of course, Tottenham's management will definitely be divided into several factions due to differences in concepts or different stances, but then again, which club doesn't have cliques? Even AC Milan, which claims to be a warm and harmonious family, still has a certain degree of internal struggle in its management (for example, you are all familiar with the palace fight between Barbara Berlusconi and Galliani) , not to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have presidential elections every four years.
Therefore, as long as this group of people does not go too far and let the internal struggles between factions affect the normal operation of the club, but promote Tottenham's forward development through healthy competition, George will not take action to beat them.
