Chapter 110 People Leave
To be honest, no one expected that such an incredible thing would happen when Leicester City was about to win the championship.
Mr. Ranieri is the man who has made the greatest contribution to Leicester City's current success. If it weren't for his superb tactics and his keen eye for talent in recruiting Eggsy, let alone winning the Premier League, even keeping the Premier League from falling into the Championship would be a blessing from God.
But under such circumstances, Leicester City still unilaterally wants to terminate the contract with Mr. Ranieri? Just when everyone is confused about this matter, is it because of uneven profit sharing or different ideas?
Don’t think that all the people working in the Premier League are fools. The two reasons of firing a head coach, uneven profit sharing and different ideas, are completely different in essence.
If it is about unequal distribution of revenue, then Ranieri is asking for a pay rise based on his performance this season. In fact, as long as it is not too much, all clubs think there is no problem. After all, Leicester City is really great this season. As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a big deal.
But if it is a disagreement in ideas, then other Premier League clubs will really stretch their necks! Because this means that the head coach and club management may have different ideas about the lineup and even the purchase and sale of certain players.
The eyes of other clubs immediately set on Leicester City's forward trident, with Eggsy being the first, followed by Vardy and Mahrez.
So when they saw that Leicester City really announced on its official website that it would soon remove Mr. Ranieri from his position as head coach, they all tried their best to find out about Leicester City's internal affairs.
Unlike other Premier League clubs, this dismissal notice was a shock to Leicester City fans! The next day, the entrance of the Leicester City club was crowded with fans holding banners insulting the Indonesian owner.
However, the Indonesian boss was not afraid of this outrageous mistake. He now holds 56% of Leicester City shares and basically has the final say at Leicester City shareholders' meetings. As for other players, there are more than just Eggsy on his list of players he wants to sell. For him, these players can only make money if they are sold when the team wins the Premier League title.
As for the squad for next season, Leicester City has a youth training camp, and if that doesn't work, they can just buy some experienced veteran players for some key positions. Isn't it just putting together a team? Is it really that difficult?
"What's the situation outside now?" The boss was holding a whiskey and looking at the surging crowd outside the window and the colorful banners rising and falling, with a sarcastic look on his face.
"The security team can definitely stop them." The assistant withdrew his gaze from the outside, took out a document from his folder, and asked, "What about the penalty for Ranieri?"
The boss took a few steps to the small coffee table, took out a cigar from the box on it, cut it open with pliers, and then put it in his mouth. He said casually, "Give it to him, and tell him that if he wants to pay a penalty, then Eggsy will have to bear the consequences. Let him think about it carefully."
After hearing this, the assistant looked up at his boss, and a flash of disgust flashed across his eyes. The next second, the assistant lowered his head, said only one word, "OK," and left.
Many players were sitting in the cafeteria watching the noise and protests coming from outside. Vardy and Mahrez lowered their heads in silence, while Captain Kante and Kante also frowned and said nothing.
They found the notice posted in the cafeteria this morning, and everyone was stunned! Including Eggsy! Who could accept that their teacher was fired without any warning in the morning? Eggsy rushed to Mr. Ranieri's office immediately, and has not returned yet.
The captain and the others had no idea that when Eggsy ran all the way to Mr. Ranieri's office door, he hesitated to reach out and knock on the door. Eggsy tried to regulate his breathing, but he couldn't help but become more nervous.
He was afraid to open the door and ask Mr Ranieri if he was really leaving Leicester City, and then be told... yes.
But the door opened by itself. Mr. Ranieri looked a little haggard. It had been a night since they last met. Eggsy suddenly felt that Mr. Ranieri's temples were more gray, and the wrinkles around his eyes were as deep as if they were cut by a knife.
What surprised Eggsy even more was that many things in Mr. Ranieri's office had already been packed, and it was obvious that he would leave today.
What is going on? What happened? Why was Mr Ranieri fired so quickly?
Mr. Ranieri had actually been sitting in the office for a long time. When he saw Eggsy, he stood up from the sofa in the office and looked at Eggsy with a slightly tired smile: "I knew you would come."
Eggsy didn't know what to say at this moment. His eyes, which were filled with emotions, turned a light golden color. He just stared at Mr. Ranieri, as if asking all the questions in his heart.
At this moment, what language was needed between Ranieri and Eggsy? With just a glance, Ranieri knew everything Eggsy wanted to ask.
"It's true, Eggsy." Mr. Ranieri said these words as if he had exhausted all his strength. He sighed, and tears slowly gathered in Eggsy's eyes. "Last night, they fired me."
"Mr. Ke, why?" Eggsy's voice was not loud, but the trembling in his voice made Ranieri more determined in his choice.
"Because they want to sell you, and I don't agree."
After saying this, Eggsy was completely stunned. He never expected that the cause of this sudden incident would be so surprising.
"Eggsy," Mr. Ranieri walked up to Eggsy, grabbed his shoulders, and whispered, "I'm done with get out of class, but even so I hope to make arrangements for you."
"I'm not worried about the other players, they are all adults and have experience, but I'm worried about you, Eggsy!" Mr. Ranieri was looking at the children he had brought up very seriously at this time, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"You are still young, I am really afraid that they will have ideas about you." At this point, Mr. Ranieri's mouth moved. He didn't want to say what he did for Eggsy, but he had to say it for Eggsy.
So Mr. Ranieri explained in as much detail as possible that he did not ask for the penalty because of the threat from the club owner, because the owner was threatening him with Eggsy.
There is still one last Premier League game, and the Premier League Football Association has said before that because the last game is at Leicester City’s home ground against Queens Park Rangers, and whether Leicester City wins or loses, they are the Premier League champions.
Therefore, this championship awards ceremony will also be held at Leicester City’s home ground, the King Power Stadium.
Because the agreement between Eggsy and the club was signed by Mr. Ranieri, he knew that there was a clause in the contract that was extremely unfavorable to Eggsy, which was "obey the club's arrangements and loan for himself."
The boss threatened Ranieri that if he dared to ask for liquidated damages, he would loan out Eggsy, making it impossible for him to participate in the next home game and unable to lift the trophy that should have belonged to Eggsy and their team!
So Ranieri compromised. He did not ask for liquidated damages, did not let his team announce the truth about his dismissal, and even wrote on the Leicester City notice of his dismissal that he was "too soft-hearted to control the dressing room and organize a new lineup," and did not protest.
This is not a good word for the head coach!
But he still compromised, because he knew that if he didn't do this, not only would Eggsy fail to win the trophy, but he would most likely be loaned to a lower league. Ranieri knew what kind of torture that would be.
At this time, Eggsy lowered his head and bit his lips. There was anger and unwillingness on the boy's face, but his eyes were full of reluctance and anger.
"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this." Eggsy was even more sad at this moment. Mr. Ranieri, whom he regarded as a family member, encountered such unfair treatment. Eggsy gritted his teeth and said: "I can not win the cup, I can be loaned to the Championship, I..."
"Eggsy!" Mr. Ranieri raised his voice and seemed angry. He looked at Eggsy and said seriously, "Do you know how you will be treated if you are loaned to a low-level team? You will be excluded and you will play in great pain! You may even lose your passion for football!"
"I know you are being unfair to me, but, but Eggsy!" Mr. Ranieri took a deep breath and looked at the child in front of him who had brought him into a professional career. He said distressedly: "You deserve a better team and better teammates. You shouldn't be tortured like this and lose your passion for football."
"Good boy, there's not much I can do for you." Mr. Ranieri wiped Eggsy's tears and said, "So you have to promise me that you will be careful with the management. Got it?"
Eggsy was angry and helpless. He originally wanted to resist desperately, but Mr. Ranieri's sacrifice made him realize that as long as he was a Leicester City player and as long as the contract was there, he would have to be controlled by others.
The boy couldn't help crying. He really had no choice. In the end, he didn't even have the courage to watch Mr. Ranieri dragging his luggage away from Leicester City.
In the afternoon, all the players went to see Mr. Ranieri off. They all wanted to stand on Ranieri's side, but the reality was that their contracts were with Leicester City and there was nothing they could do.
After seeing off Mr. Ranieri, the other players and Eggsy gathered in the gym. The depressing atmosphere made the whole team lifeless and full of suppressed anger.
"Mr. Ranieri is gone." The first to speak was Drinkwater, who is already a veteran player of Leicester City. At this moment, he lowered his head and suddenly murmured: "If Eggsy is sold in the summer window, I probably won't renew my contract with Leicester City."
As soon as this was said, the other players looked at the calm Drinker in surprise, with some differences on their faces. Especially Eggsy, he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but was interrupted by Drinker.
"I'm not impulsive, I'm just analyzing it." Brother Yinshui changed his mind, looked around at the other first-line teammates on the scene, and said: "If this Indonesian boss is really Grandet, he will probably not only sell Eggsy, Vardy, and Mahrez, but there is a high possibility that you will also be sold."
"Our forwards and midfielders are almost out of support now." Brother Yinshui looked at everyone and analyzed: "No matter who will take over the coaching position, he will definitely be a target of criticism from the Indonesian boss. As long as we resist him, we will definitely be kept on the bench until the end of the contract."
"We are all in the rising period of our careers, especially the players who have made progress in their careers after years of hard work, including me. If we are really pressed on the bench, it will be too painful."
"From the boss's current style of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, we can guess that next season, our performance will definitely plummet. Leaving early can still retain some dignity and feelings." Speaking of this, Brother Yinshui sighed: "If I leave later, I will either be pissed off by this stupid boss or dragged down by the cliff-like performance."
Brother Yinshui didn't finish his words, but everyone knew that if it really dragged on to that step, it would be a failure in their career planning.
