15. Maguire 1
"Sir, do you have anything to do if I need my service?" The security guard at the gate stood outside the car window and asked Kenneth Shepard.
"The weather is good today! Man! I am Kenneth Shepard! Mr. Mike Ferran and I have an appointment!" Kenneth Shepard said kindly.
"Please wait a moment, I'll check it!" The middle-aged security guard was very polite. After returning to the guard room to check the records, he returned to Shepherd's car and said with a suspicious expression, "I'm sorry, I didn't check your appointment!"
"Impossible, I really have an appointment. If you don't believe me, call and ask, and then say Kenneth Shepard is here. He will definitely meet me!" Shepard looked surprised, and then said to the security guard: "I said, man, don't you know me?! I am Kenneth Shepard! Harry Maguire's agent!"
Shepard gestured with his hands, "Tall and pointed nose! Oh, God, he has been on the team for a long time!"
Shepard couldn't believe that the security guard didn't know Maguire!
"Oh, tall and strong man?! His nose is very sharp?!" The middle-aged security guard checked Shepard's ID card, as if he remembered Maguire.
"Yes, yes, it's him! I'm his agent! Man, I've been here many times! You don't remember me?! This really makes me sad!" Shepard was really a little sad. Damn, is I a vegetarian?! Can't even get into the threshold of your little Hull City?!
"Sorry, I know Harry Maguire! As for you, well, I have some impression of you too! But I still can't let you in! I'll call Mr. Ferran's office!" The middle-aged security guard was still kind after all, so he turned around and went to the security room to call again.
Shepard breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his neck and neck tie, and muttered, "This damn weather, why is it so hot!"
"If you feel hot, it may not be the weather!" The middle-aged security guard appeared next to Shepard's car like a ghost, and raised the gate railing with the remote control. "Mr. Shepard, you can go in! Please don't park the car on the side of the road at will! Thank you!"
"Thank you! Man, you are a great guy!" Shepard thanked quickly. He had to thank him for his luck. He had never made an appointment with Mike Ferran at all. Fortunately, he didn't run away today. Mike Ferran finally agreed to meet him and chat.
Shepard's Mercedes-Benz slowly drove through the doorbar and suddenly remembered the first words of the middle-aged security guard. He stopped the car and stuck his head out to ask the security guard, "I said, man, you just said that I was hot probably not because of the weather, what is that?!"
"Haha, Mr. Shepard, it may be because you are too fat, or it may be because you are in an upset!" The middle-aged security guard laughed, "Good luck to you Mr.
"Fake! Shett! Isn't it good for you to keep your serious character?!" Shepard gave a thumbs up at the middle-aged security guard and felt a little better for no reason.
However, this kind of good mood only lasted to the door of Ferran's office.
"Welcome to you, Mr. Shepard!" Ferran greeted Shepard warmly on the reception sofa.
"Thank you!" Shepard was also very polite.
Ferran was very troubled by Shepard's arrival. The agent had made an appointment with him several times before, but he always avoided him with various excuses. The main reason was that the agent wanted to discuss the topic that made him very confused.
"Mr. Ferran, you see, Harry is 22 years old and he needs stable playing time. I have also contacted some English Championship and Premier League teams. If you can't promise to give him enough playing time, I hope the team can loan him out!" Shepard said clichély that he just wanted Hull City to loan Maguire.
But Felan was unwilling to loan Maguire out because he didn't have many people on the defense line, and under his leadership, Hull City's main formation requires three central defenders, and there is a high demand for central defenders. Maguire is indeed young in his eyes and is not worthy of his excessive trust, but there is no money or solution!
Hull City is very miserable. In 2010, it was a good thing to be acquired by Egyptian businessman Assem Alam. It was a good thing to be acquired by rich merchants. Since then, Hull City has entered the fast lane. But a few years later, in 2014, Assem Alam slapped his head. The name Hull City is not domineering. He thought about changing Hull City to Hull Tiger. Hull City has a tiger in its team logo and its nickname is also a tiger.
His behavior is not particularly outrageous among the Premier League bosses. What's even more outrageous is the Malaysian boss in Cardiff. He wants to change the main color of his jersey, but of course he has been hostile to death by his loyalists.
Ashem Alam also received strong opposition from Hull City fans. The Egyptian boss couldn't imagine that I helped you pay back a loan of 35 million pounds, brought you good players and led the team to upgrade. With just such a small request, you actually opposed it?! Whose team belongs to?! It's mine! It's not yours!
In a rage, Ashem Alam listed Hull City, regardless of the life and death of Hull City, you can do whatever you want!
Otherwise, rich people are willful. After two years of quitting, Hull City still hasn't left a family. This summer they were going to contact Chinese capital, but they were closed by Hull City himself two days ago, because Hull City needs to transfer operations! In fact, it's just Ashem's trouble for the fans. He has to care about his investment. Even if the money is discounted, it will be sold. Why should it be listed until now?
So Hull City has no money at all, what big can it do with the transfer window?!
It is for this reason that Ferran naturally couldn't get much money to operate in the transfer market, so Maguire couldn't lend it to him. He had to stay and could still hold him up when he needed someone.
Mike Ferran's attitude has never been clear, and he refused to promise Maguire. Shepard and Maguire are unwilling to do this. Hull City hurt Maguire's heart a little last season and he has too little playing time. He is unwilling to try that taste no matter what he says this season.
Shepard had something to say, and he had to force Phelan to either give Maguire a chance or let him leave.
Not everyone can do this job as a head coach. Different people have different personalities. Phelan is not as lucky as Wensheng. He is under great pressure now, and he is not willing to rent out Maguire or make empty promises to Maguire. Simply put, his personality is not decisive enough!
Now Shepard is making trouble again, and Ferran can only comfort him, "The season is very long, Harry should not be so anxious! I have great expectations for him! But he is still young and needs to accumulate experience slowly! I promise that he will not lose his chances of playing in the new season!"
"We are not talking about the chance to play! We need enough playing time!" Shepard emphasized dissatisfiedly.
"I will give him enough time, but what he needs most now is to be patient! Patience is a good quality!" Feilan had no choice but to make a promise.
Now Shepard finally left Ferran's office with satisfaction.
The Maguire family is not a simple family. He is not the only one who enters the professional football path. His brother is also a player and his younger brother is also a player. Because of this, his parents know more or less about the football industry circle. Therefore, they and Shepard can provide useful opinions to Maguire, and at the same time develop a very independent personality.
After he transferred to Hull City, he didn't get enough opportunities, so he applied for rent the next year. Now that he has experienced the lack of opportunities in the Bruce era, Maguire naturally wants to run away.
With Ferran's promise, Maguire finally made up his mind to stay, and in the second round he finally got the chance, Ferran let him start.
......
Maguire's family was very excited. His father Allen Maguire, his mother Zoe Maguire and his sister Daisy all came to Hull City to watch his game. As for his brother Joe and his younger brother Lawrence, they were not able to appear here because they were also players. However, after the game, Maguire soon received a blessing message from his brother and brother.
It was a great day today, Hull City is not far from Sheffield, and after Hull City's victory, the players also got a holiday. The Maguire family returned from Hull City, and they will celebrate Maguire tonight.
"Kenneth did a beautiful job!" Allen sincerely praised Maguire's agent.
He has always been confident in his son, but as a former semi-professional player, Allen is actually very clear that it is important that you have strength, but without the right opportunity, you will not be able to succeed. An adult will not believe in the spirit of "gold will always shine" because gold can still be gold for many years, but people only have a few short decades. The professional life of a professional player is only more than ten years, and twenty years. It is impossible to wait for it all the time. It takes an opportunity!
"Yes, thank God! Thanks Kenneth! He is a very good agent!" Mother Zoe was also generous. If Shepard had not put pressure on Ferran, he would probably not have arrived so soon.
Maguire and his sister Daisy were playing with their phones in the back seat, and the brother and sister couldn't wait to share the story of the game with their friends.
"Maybe Ferran just wants to calm Harry's heart!" Allen said to the co-pilot's wife in a low voice.
Zoe was stunned for a moment. Thinking about her husband's words, it seemed like that. The transfer window was not closed. Maguire could still be rented out. If Maguire was not given a sweet date, Shepard would continue to make trouble. A starting player was considered a signal to Maguire, "You are always within my choice!", but this signal may be fake.
"But the team won! Harry performed very well, isn't it?! He has many highlights in the game! At least he gave Ferran a different choice, right?!" Zoe thought about it and said to her husband.
"You're right! Harry is excellent! Ferran won't abandon it!" Allen said this, and he was still worried about gains and losses. After all, the window was closed and the players were registered, Maguire could only wait until the winter window to have the chance to be loaned out.
Chapter completed!
