Chapter 8: Unlucky Pierce

The signing ceremony is equivalent to a welcome ceremony, and it is also to tell everyone with actions that a certain player or coach joins the team, and the symbolic nature is greater.

There is also a saying in European football. The signing ceremony is the beginning of entering a club. If you want to have a good future, you must "get a good start". Therefore, it is very important to proceed smoothly. The fans invited are all loyal fans who absolutely support the team. They come to express their welcome. The questions raised by media reporters are also within the specified scope.

This is all for everything to go smoothly and have a good start.

The signing ceremony is just a prescribed "meeting meeting". The club announces the joining of players (or coaches) to the public, that's all. So generally speaking, within a few days after the signing ceremony, there will be formal press conferences to allow the media and fans to get to know the newly joined players (or coaches) at a close distance. The players are somewhat different. Especially for the head coach, they value external press conferences more. The first press conference is often very formal and will answer many related questions.

This is a tradition and is also a necessary process.

Football clubs rely on fans to survive. Now they have fame and reputation, they have to rely on the media. If the team replaces with a new head coach, the general direction of development may change. Naturally, the media and fans need to understand the new head coach.

However, Wan Sheng was not in a hurry to hold a press conference, but instead delayed the club for a few days.

"I also want to invite other people from the coaching staff to introduce them to the fans and the media at the first press conference," Wan Sheng explained.

"Coaching staff?" Wadell was quite surprised.

Wald would not refuse to give the coaching staff a contract, but does this young man really have a coaching staff? Didn’t he just become the head coach for two or three years?

Wan Sheng didn't know if he was considered the coaching staff, but Gale Diamares would definitely invite him to work with him. In addition to the others who might come, he should also be considered the coaching staff, right?

As a football coach, it is actually quite amazing to have a coaching staff.

There are many top coaches in the world, but not every top coach has a coaching staff, and more famous coaches, such as the legendary English coach Robson who just retired. His coaching staff is also very famous. Mourinho was once one of them. In addition, Ferguson's coaching staff can be mentioned. The current Middlesbrough coach McLaren was once Ferguson's assistant.

These world-renowned coaches like these will have a coaching staff, but there are also many top league coaches without coaching staff. Mourinho, who now coaches Chelsea, does not have a fixed coaching staff. When he came to Chelsea, he was alone, and later there was only a young junior brother (who once followed Robson together) to London to help him.

But generally speaking, whether there is a coaching team depends on your resume. For example, head coaches with excellent coaching scores and long coaching time will naturally be able to form a coaching team, while those coaches with short coaching time will be difficult to have a coaching team.

Wan Sheng's situation obviously belongs to the latter. He has only coached Derby County and has only been a little over two years, so Wald was very surprised to hear that he had a coaching staff.

Wansheng did not explain much to the Chairman, but he just informed him to postpone the press conference. Then he went directly to the town of Greater Derby County.

At the same time, various media have begun to report crazy reports on Wansheng's joining Manchester City.

This news is definitely heavyweight!

When Liverpool's "Miracle of Istanbul", Wan Sheng was one of the protagonists, but in the next half month, Wan Sheng could not find anyone, so the media reported him gradually less. However, in just a few days, the media received news that Wan Sheng directly joined Manchester City, which really made many media excited and surprised.

So a new round of reports about Wansheng began!

Wansheng joins Manchester City, and there are so many topics to report. The reason why Wansheng left Derby County is looking for.

Many media hyped this topic, but it seems that it has been a bit hyped, but in fact, the grudge between Wansheng and Derby County is really unhappy.

Perhaps because a lot of news always has new content.

For example, at the beginning, the media talked about Wan Sheng leaving Derby County, but the reason was that "the contract renewal was not agreed." Later, when Newcastle media revealed that they had won the victory in joining Newcastle United, the reason became "there is a better choice". Later, the statement of the new chairman of Derby County Club Pierce seemed to confirm the statement of "better choice". However, Wan Sheng's rebuttal immediately pushed the new senior executives of Derby County Club to the forefront.

Derbyshire Club has actually become a money-making tool for G-color companies!?

This news sounds ridiculous!

Even though many foreign capital has been investing in the English League in recent years, and international news has revealed that Manchester United and Arsenal clubs have jealous profits every year, in fact, most professional football clubs are still in a state of loss every year, and many clubs even have to rely on the chairman or board of directors to pay for their support to maintain operations.

Derbyshire is one of such clubs.

When Ji Smith was chairman, Derby County Club could only barely be considered a balance of income and expenditure, but thinking about the club's decline from the Premier League to the League One and almost relegated in the first season of the League One, we can know that the club is actually in a loss state.

It was only after Wan Sheng became the head coach that he led Derby County to create miraculous results in two seasons, which allowed the club to gain profits. Most of the profits were championship bonuses, rather than real commercial operations.

So it is ridiculous to use an ordinary football club as a tool for making money.

The purpose of those foreign capital to integrate into English football is generally to expand channels for other businesses, and to open up gaps in the British market through a football club. Or, like Abramovich, it is purely for playing football and to integrate into the upper class of the UK. Perhaps only by acquiring clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal can you regard "making money" as your main purpose. After all, in England, only these two clubs can achieve large profits every year.

Then it would be strange for G-color companies to do this.

Soon some media found the real reason, and in fact, it was not difficult to say it. After all, many people in the Derby County Club knew why Wansheng's renewal was inappropriate.

"Wansheng lost the transfer right"

This statement has been confirmed.

A more direct statement is that the new chairman Pierce wants to sell Van der Fate and Ribery to raise some liquidity, and Wan Sheng will definitely not agree to the team to sell his carefully trained stars, so the contract renewal cannot be reached at all.

As for what Pierce used to "perfunctory" fans to say, "Player mobility is normal" and "it's hard for us to retain big stars" were directly compromised by media reports.

All fans know the reason why Wan Sheng left the team, and you can imagine how much trouble Pearson and Sam Rush will have next.

Derby County fans are extremely dissatisfied with them. The club can win the championship, which has absolutely nothing to do with them. But Wan Sheng, the biggest contributor, left, and the team sold Van der Fate and Ribery one after another. This is to let Derby County return to the second division, and its results plummet!

At this time, Pierce, who was in the club, knew that there was more than this trouble.

When he saw the news that Wan Sheng signed with Manchester City in the newspaper, he almost vomited blood because just two days ago, Derby County and Manchester City reached two transfer deals - Lee Morris and Leto Ziegler joined Manchester City for £5 million and £3 million respectively.

These two transfer news have been confirmed, and even the clubs and players of both sides have signed the news, but it has not been officially announced to the public. The agreement between the two sides was to be announced in the past two days, but now Pierce just wants to delay the news infinitely.

He felt that Derby County would not suffer any losses in this deal.

Morris is a good player, but after all, he will be thirty in two years. He is a little older and does not perform particularly well on the court. He is definitely not as good as a player like Van der Fate and Ribery. Perhaps Morris is very important to the team, but a player with little commercial value is also quite good to be able to sell for 5 million pounds.

Leto Ziegler's deal may be an accident.

Manchester City originally bought Alfred, but Pierce would not be stupid enough to sell his local star. Especially Alfred is so young, anyone knows that his future is bright. Manchester City's bid is not enough to buy young geniuses, and other teams bid much higher than Manchester City, so this deal cannot be reached.

However, Manchester City negotiators mentioned Leto Ziegler by the way. General Manager Sam Rush believes that Ziegler has been just a substitute in the past two years. He is 19 years old and has not performed well for two years under Wansheng. Naturally, he will not have a good future. So Derby County agreed and the transfer price is as much as 3 million pounds.

These two transfers are definitely not a loss-making deal, and it can even be said to be a bit profitable, but the premise is that it is normal to buy their club.

But now that Wan Sheng has become Manchester City's head coach, it is completely abnormal.

Derby County did this to give good players to its competitors. Manchester City's approach was obviously to help Wan Sheng poach the "direct player". Chelsea paid an jealous high transfer fee, while Manchester City sold two players for less than 10 million pounds. Thinking of this, Pierce gritted his teeth.

But if you think about the group of fans marching and demonstrating outside the club, he could only stay in the office and even pray that Derby County fans would be "gentlemanly" enough to not break in with a rude force. (To be continued.)
