Chapter 440 Go? Stay? (Part 1)
A Chiefs incident carefully planned by the World News not only destroyed the reputation and prestige that Erikson has accumulated over the years in coaching the England national team, but also gave him a profit-oriented hat, but also made the Swede lose the fat contract signed with the FA with an annual salary of 4 million pounds. In fact, after causing so many troubles, it has caused irreparable adverse effects on the reputation of the Premier League and dragged the entire English football world down, the FA did not immediately announce the termination of the contract with Erikson, which is already in view of the imminent World Cup, and changing coaches in the last match can easily have an extremely serious negative impact on the national team.
However, even so, the outbreak of the Chiefs incident still cast a shadow on the prospects of the Three Lions in the German World Cup. If Eriksen continues to coach, then the England internationals who are intimidated with the Swedes are likely not to implement Eriksen's tactical arrangements as seriously as before, making it difficult for the Three Lions, as one of the favorites to win the championship, to perform their due level in the World Cup!
Not to mention, Eriksen also committed suicide and exposed many scandals in English football, such as the many tricks of the Premier League head coach in the transfer transaction, the serious bribery problems within the FA, etc., which completely blocked the Swedes' coaching path in the England national team!
Although as the mastermind of the Chiefs incident, the World News has wisely concealed the true identities of clubs with black gold problems in the transfer transactions in the report, and did not name the FA officials who had bribery, people still inferred some of the "truth" based on relevant reports, which greatly weakened their trust in the league and the FA. Therefore, even if these FA officials do not consider the feelings of the players and fans, they will minimize the negative impact of this incident as much as possible for their face and majesty in front of others!
It is precisely because of these reasons that how to deal with the culprit Eriksen has undoubtedly become the primary issue that the FA needs to solve at the current stage!
"Chairman Thompson (i.e., Jove Thompson, then the FA President and UEFA Vice President), I didn't expect you to call me." I noticed that the person on the other end of the phone was Jove Thompson, an old acquaintance and ally, George couldn't help but joke, "The FA should be so busy that he was busy because of the Swedish stupid donkey Erikson? What kind of wind made you, the busy man, think of me?"
"Mr. Viscount, don't joke with me at this time." Thompson replied with a wry smile. He was embarrassed by the series of combined punches of News Corporation, and he was not in a mood to chat with George at this time. "What is the situation in English football now? I believe you should be very clear in your heart... Let's say a long story short, can you help me and let that damn News Corporation stop and don't continue to report this incident in depth. Also, if it is convenient, I hope you can take time to visit the FA headquarters. Regarding Eriksen's stay or not, I would like to consult your opinions and opinions in person."
"No problem, this matter is for me." To Thompson's surprise, George agreed to his request very readily, neither politely refusing nor taking the opportunity to ask for any benefits. "As for going to the FA headquarters, I just have some time now. I wonder if it is convenient for you, Chairman Thompson?"
"Convenient! Of course it's convenient!" Thompson was naturally overjoyed and quickly agreed on the phone. Although he didn't understand why George agreed so happily to deal with the giant News Corporation, since the goal had been achieved, he did not need to go into it in depth.
"Eli, please tell me Murdoch that everything is enough. His News Corp may be able to take advantage of the wind of the Chiefs' Sect to discuss some things in the next few months, but please remember my advice. If something big is going on, it will not be a good thing for anyone." After hanging up the phone, George thought for a moment, turned his head and told Elizabeth, "I'll deal with this matter. I'll go to the FA headquarters to discuss some things with Thompson... The trouble caused by Erikson must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise all English clubs, including Tottenham, will suffer serious losses due to his behavior!"
Although George has no connection or involvement with this storm, as a member of English football, he and English football have a relationship of prosperity and loss. Therefore, he agreed to Thompson's request to help the FA and went to the FA headquarters at this sensitive moment, instead of choosing to watch the fire from the other side of the river and watching the FA fall deeper and deeper in this crisis.
As for whether this is another trap set by News Corporation, and plans to pursue the victory on the basis of the Chiefs' Sect and make another big news, George is not very worried. Although News Corporation has always liked to cause trouble, Murdoch and the executives of News Corporation are not fools. Naturally, they know that big guys like George are absolutely not allowed to mess with them!
Although Western journalists often claim to be uncrowned kings, in fact, they will never really provoke those real bosses - that is why Western journalists can write articles to scold governments in a righteous manner, but few people dare to evaluate the right and wrong of the Federal Reserve or major top consortiums. Because these people are their true parents of food and clothing, and just one sentence can determine their future and destiny!
In this way, when George walked into the gate of the FA headquarters under the guidance of George Thompson, who had already been waiting at the door, none of the paparazzi lying around was born to create a big news in George!
Even if some newcomers who have just entered the industry show such signs, they will immediately be severely taught by their seniors: "You kid are desperate, but you dare to trouble this big man? Tell you, the last guy who jumps like you, his grave grass is now three feet tall!"
These people knew very well that if they really dared to create negative news about this boss, their fate would be either to become missing people in government data statistics or to be thrown into prison for various charges to pick up soap. Not to mention, even if they made up something, no media would have the courage to publish it!
Therefore, for the sake of their own safety and jobs, all the reporters present chose to remain silent in a tacit understanding and waited quietly for a big fish that could make them feel troubled.
