As Hutt signaled again, Ferguson, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, finally came in.
The moment he saw Ferguson, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Bert Milic's face.
At this moment, he felt like a teacher who scolded students in school, and then the aggrieved students went home and called their parents. No... it was the parents who directly called him, the school leader, to their home.
When he arrived at the student's house, he discovered that this student had an extraordinary background!
Think about the time when you scolded other people’s children, and then think about now.
So embarrassing!
…
Ferguson has gained weight, and his nose is becoming more and more like the traditional Scottish rosacea. With superior living conditions and salary, although he has been living a life of luxury in recent years, his living conditions are getting better and better.
The owner of the club is a nobleman, and a very generous nobleman.
Ferguson had no idea how much money Count Allen had. It was a sum he would never earn in his entire lifetime.
Some time ago, he had several quarrels with the English Football Association and TV station people because of the establishment of the Super League. As too many things were involved and the scope was too wide, not only Manchester United club failed to reach an agreement, but several English League One giants also failed to reach an agreement.
It stands to reason that the establishment of a higher-level super league will bring about great improvements in both the viewing experience of the game and the revenue of the clubs.
But a higher-level super league must have higher profits. If a higher-level league is established and the profits are lower than before, then what's the point of establishing it?
When it comes to interests, as the club's manager, Ferguson certainly has the responsibility to do his best to gain benefits for the club.
…
The team model of Great Britain is very messy. Some teams are actually managed by the board of directors, and the coach only has the right to train. However, some coaches are capable and have strong personalities, so they will turn into a manager model.
The manager mode has relatively large powers. Not only is the manager responsible for training, but he can also intervene in player configuration and player transfers, and can even be the supervisor!
But Ferguson is different. His current personality only makes him strong in front of the players. When facing the management of Manchester United club, he really can't be strong.
But because the team's performance has improved in the past two years, and Allen is not a professional, he is simply allowed to manage the team directly. As long as he wants, he can manage everything except finances.
Faced with this trust, Ferguson was very moved and worked diligently, even getting involved in youth training. He planned to work as the head coach of Manchester United for the next 20 to 30 years. As long as the Earl did not drive him away, he would work here until retirement!
…
Now being introduced to the FA chairman by Sir Huth, Ferguson showed his signature smile and did not brag. Instead, he stretched out his hand, shook Bert Milic's hand and said, "Mr. Chairman, we meet again. I am Ferguson, the head coach of Manchester United."
"Ahahaha...Mr. Ferguson, what a coincidence."
Bert Milic smiled awkwardly. He knew before that the owner of Manchester United was Earl Allen.
But whether the boss is a noble or not, what does it have to do with his management of the team?
No one specifically told him to take care of the team, so he just did his job. Now that Sir Huth has officially pointed out the relationship in front of him, he can no longer pretend he doesn't know about it.
In the past, he could pretend that he didn't know, but now he knows. Based on Sir Huth's special introduction this time, Bert Milic, as the chairman of the English Football Association, will have to give Ferguson some face in the future. This is not to help them fix the game, but to prevent them from being targeted by other black hands or referees.
As long as fairness is guaranteed, at certain times, fairness means partiality.
…
Ferguson looked at the chairman's awkward smile and felt secretly happy. It's good to have a background.
I won’t talk about what happened in the past, but now Sir Hut has made their relationship clear.
See... now Mr. Bert Milic will speak to him nicely.
The arrogance and rudeness of the past seemed to have never happened.
Thinking of this, Ferguson smiled from the bottom of his heart and shook Bert Milic's right hand vigorously again.
"Okay, let's talk after dinner, Ferguson, sit down!"
Huth looked at the two men, smiling and shaking hands. They held hands for a long time without letting go. He could only interrupt the awkward atmosphere between them and smooth things over.
…
At dinner, since it was Friday, William insisted on eating traditional Friday British food, so Alan asked the kitchen to cook some.
What is a traditional British dish on Fridays?
Fried fish!
In the past, during wartime, supplies were scarce and in the most difficult times, meat was rationed. People were miserable because they had no meat to eat.
But fish didn’t count toward the limit then.
Many people buy or catch some fish, small fish, big fish, any species, it’s good enough to be able to catch some, and then on Friday, the whole family will have a big fish dinner, which is very satisfying.
The British cook...
It's nothing more than boiling, frying and baking.
So fish fry is a tradition that was formed during that period, and now many families still eat fried fish every Friday.
The main theme is to recall the past and think of the present.
The traditional famous dish of Allen's family was also invented during that period.
…
Alan didn't like fried fish very much, so when there was some fish meat left, he threw it to the little yellow cat that was jumping anxiously beside his legs.
This guy eats everything, which is a bit unlike a bird. As long as it can eat, Alan will usually feed it a little to satisfy its craving, just as a way to tease the dog.
Just after throwing a piece of fried fish, William wiped his greasy hands with a wet towel and said, "Cousin! Our teacher asked us to prepare for the sports meeting, and parents will be required to go to school at that time."
"Um."
Alan hummed subconsciously, and waited for a long time before he suddenly reacted. Holding a sports meeting?
Isn’t this just inviting parents?
Then William can’t ask Boss Cha to come over, right?
Even if he called, Boss Cha wouldn't come.
So, in the end, this matter will have to be his turn.
…
Grabbing Xiao Huang's head and ignoring his struggle, Alan wiped Xiao Huang's mouth with a wet towel. In order to prevent it from continuing to bother him, he wiped the feathers on its back with the wet towel a few times.
This thing is very clean. If its feathers get wet, it will spend a lot of time to clean itself. Just this one time is enough to keep it busy.
Letting go of Xiao Huang, Alan looked at William, then at Harry who was still concentrating on eating.
If there were sports meets in primary schools, Harry would be in primary school now.
…
"Cousin! Me too."
Harry watched Alan look at him, stuffed a piece of fried fish into his mouth, swallowed and replied with something, then started to eat again.
“…”
"What are the rules for your school's sports meet?"
Every spring, it is the hunting season for the nobles. They ride on their horses, put on hunting clothes, dress up beautifully, and go hunting in the countryside with dozens of servants and riders and hunting dogs.
And ordinary people...
They couldn't even afford a horse or go hunting, but ordinary people, especially children, could hold sports meets and then participate in activities such as spring outings organized by the school.
Anyway, after the sports meet, it’s almost time for the holiday.
…
William thought for a moment and repeated, "The teacher said to call the parents and form a family unit. There are several events, all track and field events. My brother and I... we need two parents!"
“…”
Two more parents are needed. With this tone, the parents are like animals, and they have become the unit of measurement.
Alan ignored what William said and asked about the specific time of their school sports meeting, and then prepared to write a letter to ask for instructions.
Even though he knew that Boss Cha would definitely not come, he still had to ask for instructions. He could not make the decision for Boss Cha directly.
…
At the end of February, in Cardiff, Wales, William and Harry attended the public primary school that Allen sponsored with one million pounds.
Today is the day when the school holds a sports meeting.
In the past, such sports meets were all held in a parent-child mode, with parents accompanying their children to compete. This would allow parents who lead fast-paced lives and are always busy with work and have no time to spend with their children to have more opportunities to interact with their children. It would also make it easier for teachers to observe the family situation of each child so as to better educate the children.
If a child's parents are not dressed well, it proves that their family's economic conditions are not very good, and we must prevent other children from bullying this child from a poor family.
Some parents are more overbearing, and it's obvious that their family is well off, so we have to prevent their children from bullying other children.
Therefore, this kind of sports meeting can achieve multiple goals at one stroke.
But this year's sports meeting seems to be more lively than in previous years.
The newly built standard playground in the school was surrounded by reporters from all walks of life, and the interview cars were even lined up outside the school.
There were many people, but the scene was not chaotic. The reporters also suppressed their excitement and talked in low voices. There were important people in the audience, so they had to pay attention to etiquette and not embarrass themselves!
…
At this time, all the cameras were aimed at the three men and one woman on the playground.
The four of them looked very much like a family. The man was very young, wearing a long sports suit, sneakers, medium-length blonde hair, and an extremely handsome face. He was the famous Earl Allen of Britain!
And the tall woman next to him is even more famous than this one!
At this time, Princess Diana of the United Kingdom was wearing a light-colored suit and no sneakers. She took off her high heels openly and stood barefoot on the lawn.
The image was very eye-catching, and the flash lights outside the stadium never stopped since they came on stage.
With Diana taking the lead, several other mothers followed her example, took off their shoes and prepared to compete barefoot.
…
In front of the two were William and Harry, who were wearing school uniforms.
These four people all have blonde hair and look a bit alike, especially Alan and Diana, who are well-known to the outside world and are blood-related cousins.
This "family of four" participated in the school sports meeting today, and the old principal who was standing on the sidelines watching laughed so hard that his eyes were almost invisible.
The competition in primary schools is also fierce. The gap between famous schools and ordinary national schools cannot be changed in a short period of time, unless...
A celebrity blessing!
The support from these four celebrities today is completely sufficient, no... it is far beyond the standard!
A local traditional noble earl, a princess, and two princes, this configuration...
This is the most glorious moment since the establishment of their primary school!
In addition, there are all these media and reporters who received the news from somewhere and came here specially today.
I believe that all the newspaper headlines tomorrow will be about the news of today’s sports meeting!
…
Alan squatted down, pulled William and Harry, covered his mouth with his right hand and said, "William, don't you have a 50-meter sprint competition later?"
"Um!"
William looked very proud, he made it to the finals!
"Okay! Perform well and watch me later."
Alan said encouragingly and looked at Harry again.
Compared to William, this little brat is much worse and didn't even make it to any finals.
Instead, it was a family team competition that would be held later, and in order to prevent Harry from falling behind, Alan planned to run with Harry on his back.
For a family of several people, we need to calculate not only the fastest speed, but also the slowest speed.
The sum of the two scores is the total score.
At least one child from each family must run on the field.
Don't count on Diana. If she is asked to carry Harry on her back, she won't be able to run. Fortunately, William is still useful. He is one of the fastest runners among the children and won't be too much of a drag. The only shortcoming is Harry. The planned plan only allows Allen to carry Harry on his back. The rest depends on who runs faster between Diana and William.
…
"preparation!"
The teacher, who was acting as the referee, stood in front of the starting line in a very formal manner, holding the starting gun.
Diana refused to wear shoes. One could say she was putting on a show, but the public and the media around her bought into it.
Alan carried Harry on his back and said, "Hold my neck tightly, but not too tightly. Do you understand?"
"Come on, cousin! Go!"
“…”
Harry sat high and could see far. The little boy had no worries and was only excited. He put his legs in front of Alan's shoulders, put his left hand around Alan's forehead, and clenched his right hand into a small fist, as if he was riding a horse and ready to charge.
“Bang!”
As the starting gun fired.
Alan took the lead and rushed straight to the first place without bothering to look left or right. Because he accelerated too fast, Harry leaned back suddenly, then fell backwards with his hands tightly around Alan's neck.
Just like that, Alan was almost strangled by the little fat boy and rolled his eyes. He suddenly lowered his head forward, throwing Harry's center of gravity back, and staggered a few steps.
…
As expected, Alan was the first to cross the finish line. He took several steps to buffer the gap before he supported Harry with one hand and turned to look behind him.
William, with his short legs, actually ran faster than Diana and had already surpassed her by two or three body lengths. Diana was wearing a suit, had no shoes on, and her hair was not tied up.
When he runs, he looks so heroic and flying in the wind.
The flash lights on the sidelines couldn't stop flashing.
…
"Ah! Come on, big brother!"
Harry was like nothing had happened, and even had time to cheer William up. Alan waved his hand and asked the servant who followed him in to bring him a bottle of water. He unscrewed the cap and drank a sip. Then he said, "Go, give some water to every parent and child present, and tell them that the princess sent it to them."
There are really no children of powerful people studying in this primary school.
Except for William and Harry, the rest are commoners, and the most impressive ones are from middle-class families.
Alan would not pretend to be rich and powerful in front of them. Instead, he would just send them some water in the name of Diana.
