"Today is a good day; all my wishes will come true!"
"Today is a good day, let's open the door and welcome the spring breeze!"
Li Shiguang slept in late today, which was a rare occurrence for him.
He was humming a tune that no one else could understand as he walked briskly toward his office on the second floor.
As soon as I got upstairs, I saw my assistant, Allen, knocking anxiously on my office door.
"Good morning, Allen. Stop knocking, I'm here," Li Shiguang greeted him.
Allen turned his head and saw his boss with a smile on his face.
He immediately exclaimed urgently, "Boss, something terrible has happened! West Bromwich Albion has sent an email offering Howard a contract!"
Old Bates was right! He said he'd give a quote today, and he never put it off until tomorrow.
Upon hearing this news, Li Shiguang felt a surge of secret joy.
With a serious expression, he replied, "Reject them. I've emphasized before that Howard is not for sale."
Allen looked helpless and said to Li Shiguang, "We can't refuse this offer. West Bromwich Albion triggered Howard's release clause, and I just contacted Howard's agent. His reply was that Howard himself is willing to return to the Premier League."
That's fantastic! I was worried that after trading Howard, I would face a lot of pressure from the fans.
However, given the current trajectory of the story, West Bromwich Albion has triggered Howard's buyout clause, and Howard himself wants to leave, so there's no reason for West Bromwich Albion to stop him.
They'll then find a few media outlets to report that letting Howard go was a last resort, since they have to abide by the terms of the contract.
In this way, you can completely extricate yourself from this transfer turmoil!
Moreover, Li Shiguang opened the system early this morning to check Howard's attribute panel. Buffon's trial card had expired, and Howard's various data, except for his stable performance in matches, had all returned to their original values.
In other words, starting from the second half of the season, he will become a "butterfingers" again!
So Li Shiguang patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to worry about this problem. I'll talk to Howard."
After saying that, he opened the door and went into his office.
After comfortably brewing a cup of tea, Li Shiguang plopped down in his executive chair.
The mission has been completed, and it's time to open the treasure chest again.
But just as he activated the system, there was another knock on the office door.
As soon as Li Shiguang looked up, he saw Blackwell walk in with an envelope in his hand.
Li Shiguang frowned as he put the system away. Looking at the envelope in Blackwell's hand, the last words Bates said on the phone last night suddenly came to mind.
Did I guess right?
Blackwell placed the envelope on Li Shiguang's desk and said, "Li, this is my resignation letter."
I was right!
Bates not only wants to buy Howard, but also wants to take away Leeds United's manager!
Li Shiguang looked coldly at Blackwell across from him and said, "Kevin, may I ask why?"
Blackwell replied calmly, "Because of money, Lee, West Brom gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, and their owner Bates told me last night that he would make an offer to Leeds United today, and whether I accept his offer or not, he will bring Howard to The Hawthorns this winter transfer window."
Seeing that Li Shiguang didn't respond, Blackwell continued to explain, "You know that Leeds United's mid-season championship was largely due to Howard's performance in the first half of the season. If they lose him in the second half..."
“I agree.” Before Blackwell could finish speaking, Li Shiguang calmly interrupted him.
Looking at Blackwell's slightly surprised expression
Li Shiguang didn't wait for him to speak. He stood up, smiled at Blackwell, and gestured for him to leave: "Good luck, Kevin."
Seeing that the scene of his heated argument with Li Shiguang that he had imagined did not occur, Blackwell pursed his lips and turned to leave the office.
After Blackwell left, Li Shiguang picked up his tea and began to think.
That Bates, he's got a death wish for us. Do you think Leeds United will collapse just because you poached Blackwell and Howard?
In Li Shiguang's mind, several famous coaches from later generations instantly came to mind, such as Mourinho and Klopp, whom he admired very much. They had not yet joined the ranks of the major clubs, and he still had a great opportunity to invite them to coach Leeds United.
Shaking his head, Li Shiguang sat down and summoned the system again.
The world is vast, but opening the boxes is the most important thing. Let's think about the head coach issue after we've finished opening the boxes.
Looking at the golden treasure chest on the panel, Li Shiguang rubbed his hands together and opened it directly.
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Master Coach]
Upon seeing the reward, before Li Shiguang could even think about it, he suddenly felt all sorts of football tactics and training methods pop into his mind!
Looks like I'm one of the luckiest people out there.
I was just thinking about where to poach a head coach, but now that's great! I don't need to look for a head coach anymore. With these ideas in my head, I can totally lead the team as the head coach of Leeds United.
Leeds United's huge debt still exists objectively. In Li Shiguang's plan, the 15 million euros he swindled from Bates will not be used to pay off the current debts for the time being. In addition to the normal club operating expenses, he also needs to bring in some players to support the performance in the second half of the season.
