Under George's secret instructions, the news that Sheringham would leave White Hart Lane on a free transfer after the end of the season was not announced to the outside world immediately. After all, for Tottenham Hotspur who are currently lacking star players, Sheringham, the former Premier League Golden Boot, is still one of the most famous players in Tottenham despite being a 37-year-old veteran now. one. Therefore, George does not intend to announce the news that Sheringham is about to leave the team at this time, lest Tottenham, which has been at the center of public opinion recently due to the news of the club's change of ownership and the return of Charlie Johnson, will continue to attract various discussions from the outside world.
In George's view, it is very important to have a relatively stable external environment when making a major overhaul of the team. Only in this way can the players not receive too much interference from the outside world and look at every transfer operation of the team as objectively as possible, instead of being distracted by the media and fans and focusing on the big changes that occurred during the team's replacement period. Large-scale personnel changes create uneasiness and worry, which in turn affects the team's preparations for the new season and its performance on the field.
Of course, if you want Tottenham to achieve a stable public opinion environment, it is obviously not enough to just conceal the news of the departure of important players. Because the fire cannot be contained in paper, the fact that has been covered up will still be exposed to everyone's eyes once the time is up. Therefore, only a star with enough weight to announce his joining can make up for the negative impact of the departure of the main players on the team. Let the players who remain on the team feel the club's ambition, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the team.
Therefore, after confirming that he would not renew Sheringham's contract and launching an offensive against the Tottenham team committee, which was already in danger of losing, George handed over the remaining team cleaning work to Marotta, while he dealt with the problem himself. Aid matters. After all, George believes more in his memories of his past life than in the fact that he has not yet established a complete scouting system. Under such circumstances, George naturally has to firmly control the decision-making power of signings in his own hands, while Marotta and others only need to be responsible for the collection and analysis of player information.
As for whether Marotta has the courage to implement the cleaning plan he formulated, George feels that it is not a big problem. After all, he had already dealt with Sheringham, the leader of the team committee, and directly captured the person in the team committee who was most likely to take the lead in confronting the management. If Marotta can't even deal with the remaining minnows, then George will have to consider replacing him as Tottenham Hotspur CEO.
On the other side, after ending this unpleasant contract renewal negotiation, Sheringham drove away from Tottenham headquarters in a terrible mood. However, Sheringham did not immediately return to his home in London, but drove to Poyet's residence. There, the new Tottenham team committee meeting is being prepared to be held under the organization of Poyet and other members. The main topic of their meeting this time was how to deal with the arrival of George, the owner and head coach of the team!
If before that conversation with George, Sheringham felt that they were sure to dominate the dressing room and influence the head coach's lineup as before, then after speaking with George, Sheringham realized , their good days at Tottenham are destined to be gone forever.
People have prepared the butcher's knife and the reasons for wielding it, and are waiting for the opportunity to strike, but they themselves are completely unaware of this, and have not even formed a unified opinion. In addition, the opponent still holds a trump card that can make all the main members of the team committee lose their reputation. Therefore, Sheringham feels that his side's defeat is already certain without waiting for the official confrontation between the two sides. Something happened.
"Hey, Teddy, you're really slow. You're actually late for so long... Why do you look so bad today? Did something happen?" Boyer saw Sheringham walking into the room. After Te said hello to the other party, he immediately noticed Sheringham's strange behavior and asked with concern, "Does it mean that you and the club have not reached an agreement on the contract extension? That guy is both the owner and the coach. Not willing to offer you a contract extension?”
"Yeah, Gus (Poyet), you guessed it right. George did offer me a contract extension, but because we both had very serious differences on the terms of the contract extension, and neither He was willing to make concessions, so this negotiation had to break down." In response to Boyet's inquiry, Sheringham smiled reluctantly, and then threw a bombshell to everyone present, "So everyone, Today will probably be the last time I appear on this occasion. When the summer transfer window opens, I will be free to transfer to another club that is willing to give me a starting position."
Because Sheringham was not expected to drop such a heavy bomb as soon as he showed up, when Sheringham revealed the news that he was about to leave the team, everyone present was stunned by it. The first person to react was naturally Poyet, who was the host of this meeting: "Teddy, what did you just say? Are you going to play for another team? Are you sure you are not kidding us?"
"Gus, I'm definitely not kidding you." Looking at the expressions of shock and disbelief on the faces of everyone present, Sheringham nodded sadly, completely dispelling Poyet's last bit of luck, "The club The club has informed me that they will no longer negotiate with me on contract renewal. So, I'm sorry, it seems that I can no longer fight side by side with you on the court in the future."
"No, I'm going to talk to the new guy. I can't let Teddy be driven away by that bastard like this." After hearing Sheringham's words, Boyet, who has a straightforward personality, couldn't sit still for the first time. He stood up and prepared to go out and talk to George, "I want that young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky to know that even if he is the owner and head coach of the club, there are people in the team that he absolutely cannot and cannot touch!"
As a key member of the Tottenham team committee, Poyet and others naturally know the importance of Sheringham to this organization. Especially after Tim Sherwood was sent to Portsmouth by Levy last season, the first Premier League Golden Boot winner became the only leader of the Tottenham team committee, and also the team committee who was able to communicate with the head coach and others. The important capital of Tottenham's top management headed by Levy to compete.
In other words, without Sheringham, the team committee, which has lost its leader, will inevitably be at a disadvantage in future confrontations with the head coach and management, or even be completely liquidated. Therefore, keeping Sheringham is undoubtedly the top priority in Poyet's eyes at this time!
"Gus, don't waste your efforts anymore." Seeing that Boyet was planning to find trouble for George, Sheringham quickly took the Uruguayan's arm and whispered, "I must admit, I underestimated George's ability and... Determination, he is different from any manager we have experienced at Tottenham before. He has planned and prepared everything before this negotiation... If I want to describe it, I think he has a bit of Sir Alex Ferguson now. Shadow, especially his strong desire to control the team, the two are so similar!"
"Wait a minute, Teddy, what did George Nelson prepare that would make you have no intention of resisting?" Although Boyette has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid. As soon as Sheringham's words came out of his mouth, the Uruguayan immediately realized the crux of the matter.
"To put it simply, what we did with Rebrov back then was known to him, and there is conclusive evidence that proves that we indeed forced Hoddle to put Rice into the main lineup." Sheringham hesitated and told George that he had the interview records of Hoddle and Rebrov, "You know, at our age, it is very important to maintain a good reputation. Otherwise, , when we retire in two years, it will be very difficult to find a job in this circle."
"That's right." When Sheringham mentioned Rebrov's matter, Poyet, who was also involved in that incident, sighed, "It seems that we really got it wrong this time. This guy George Nelson , is indeed a figure who cannot be underestimated.”
In this way, with the two leaders of the Tottenham team committee, Teddy Sheringham and Tim Sherwood, leaving the team within one year, the Tottenham team committee has less control over the dressing room than before. Under Sheringham's persuasion, Poyet, Anderton and others, who had ulterior motives in their hearts, had to bow to reality and took the initiative to find George and express their willingness to obey all his arrangements. This was something that they couldn't help. Let them have dirty hands and feet, and end up being caught in pigtails?
After members of the team committee announced their unconditional surrender and admitted to George the mistakes they had made over the years, Marotta's purge operation became much easier. According to George's request, he eliminated most of the players in the first team, leaving only a few players such as Robbie Keane, Poyet, Jamie Redknapp, and Casey Keller. Next, just wait for George to formulate a signing plan to refill the first team that has almost become an empty shell.
"George, you really keep your word. How long has it passed before you were able to sell the Serbian and Montenegro central defender to us at such a low price as promised?" Sitting in the office of Sampdoria headquarters , Garrone smiled so happily. At this time, he was very excited about signing Bunevcevic at a bargain price of US$1 million.
"Haha, Ricardo (Garrone), what are you talking about? As partners, shouldn't we be mutually beneficial?" George, who was talking to Garrone on his mobile phone, said with a smile. After this period of communication, George discovered that this oil businessman also had some merits, and his perception of him changed a lot.
"Haha, this is natural. George, if you need my help in the future, just ask, and I will do my best to help." After getting a lot of benefits from the transaction with George, the businessman Garrone, who has a good background, also knows to reciprocate the favor. “For example, if you have young players who need to be rented out for training, or good prospects who are difficult to bring in due to labor certification issues, we at Sampdoria can help solve the problem. "
