Chapter 80

WORD'S [ 2,360]

______________________________________________

After Ferguson's answer, the reporters at the scene also shifted the focus of the question to James.

There is no doubt that this young man who has achieved great success today has the possibility of digging out problems.

"Mr. James, first of all, congratulations to blackpool for winning the FA Cup and creating a real dark horse miracle. "

A reporter stood up, stared into James's eyes and asked: "This also means that the rhetoric you said before has been realized today. We are very curious, what kind of mood do you have?"

"Of course happy."

James smiled and said: "I am very pleased that the players of the team can have such a performance today. "

"They really put in a lot of hard work this season, to bring this cup for blackpool honor."

"We know that a third tier team has won the FA Cup, which is unprecedented in history"

A reporter stood up again and asked, "What does breaking this record mean to blackpool."

"Higher attention, greater business value."

"Blackpool in the new season will become the first club in history to play the Europa League as a championship team."

After a while, another reporter stood up and said, "What are blackpool's expectations for this European competition?"

James thought for a while and then said: "The Europa League... is indeed a new test for blackpool. "

" blackpool has the ability to handle this European competition."

"As long as I have the ability, I don't care if we are a Championship club."

"There is only one goal, to win the Europa League."

In the FA Cup this season, blackpool has defeated Leeds United, Liverpool, Manchester United and other giants of this era.

In the Europa League, the participating clubs are one level weaker than the Champions League, and their competitiveness is not very high as champion League.

However Will Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka be weaker than the players of these teams?

James doesn't think so.

But as soon as his words came out, the reporters present sighed in their hearts.

The rhetoric that James said before seems to be unrealistic, but it has been completed!

This also made the deepest feeling in their hearts, not contempt or anything else.

If James can keep his promises and win the Europa League as a Championship club in the new season...

Look, what we pulled out as Championship team.

"I am looking forward to it. "

A reporter also stood up, expressed his inner thoughts, and then asked others, "But Mr. James, Blackpool a lot of very young players with great potential.

"Not only in our England ave expressed interest in them, but even some giant teams in Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, etc. have strong interest in them."

What the reporter said was indeed a vicious circle in football.

"I wouldn't worry about them leaving."

James's answer, with a bit of confidence, "Because blackpool has huge ambitions for the future, we will also win trophies every year as a booster for these players."

"The players will believe that they have a bright future at blackpool."

The reporters were a little silent this time, thinking about it as if...

This club pulled a group of youngsters and trained together for a season, and then they beat Manchester United and won the FA Cup.

If they are players and stay in this kind of club, it is easy to believe in the future of this club.

Finally, a few minutes later, the press conference was over.

Next, he will return to blackpool to do some preparations for the new season.

James and blackpool's players and coaching staff to return to blackpool.

It's already night.

In the town, there are many local fans who did not go to the expedition.

At this time, they are all gathered here, excited to welcome their hero's return!

Blackpool players had another hilarious celebration with the fans before leaving.

After leaving , James booked one of the most luxurious restaurants in the area to hold this celebration banquet for the team.

After eating, Blackpool will officially entering the summer vacation period.

Many players packed their bags early in the evening and headed home.

After all, they hasn't been home for half a year.

James didn't leave, he went back with the FA Cup trophy and placed it on the counter where the trophies was placed.

Looking at these new two trophies, James also began to look forward to the arrival of the new season.

He won two this season, at least he will won more trophies in new season, right?

Championship, League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League?

James became interested, and even began to count how many trophies bkackpool will need to become best in England.

"Premier League..."

"Community Shield, FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup..."

After counting, James's mouth couldn't help but put on a daydream smile.

It feels really good.

Maybe 10 season's..

In the new season, the summer transfer window, stadium upgrade, new Jersey's and major sponser's, youth managements.

tomorrow, he will officially start the transfer operation and some other operations.

the next day.

Blackpool training base.

Coach's Office.

James sitting, thinking about the team's transfer candidates for the new season.

The transfer market is less than a week away from opening.

Now he can be sure that the players he will bring over are only Essien and Alves.

Then, James thought for a while, and two suitable candidates gradually appeared in his mind.

"Cafu, Lahm"

After thinking about these two players, James also began to look forward to blackpool's lineup for the new season.

Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, Ibrahimovic in the center, and Beach on the right for the time being.

Front midfielder Kaka, front midfielder Ronaldinho, defensive midfielder Essien.

Left back Alves, central defender Vidic, Ramos, right back Cafu or Lahm.

Goalkeeper Cech.

"Tsk."

After thinking about it, James couldn't help but sigh, "Wait until Messi grows up, this is the pure fantasy lineup."

***

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the office door.

James looked towards the door, and immediately saw Mr. Park walking in.

"Park, what's wrong?"

James looked at Park and asked.

"Three big companies made appointments for meeting today"

Mr. Park's face was a little excited, "Two of them should be for jerseys, and the other is for chest advertisements."

"Oh?" James asked curiously, "Which three?"

"Nike, Puma, Jeep."

Mr. Park said excitedly: "These are three big companies, I didn't expect they want us."

James smiled, but felt nothing.

As he said before, blackpool is a very topical in Europa.

"when will they arrive?"

James asked.

"Jeep and Puma should be coming soon, they just called me this morning."

"The nike maybe a little later."

After speaking, park walked towards the door.

"Wait a moment."

James stopped park, pulled a piece of paper from the side, and immediately picked up the pen.

"I will write a transfer list, and some youth player's that I taken some interest

" and make sure to bring these youth players here at anycost, and win there loyalty "

"I need Result in 3 days, understand"

"And, reject every transfer offer, aspect League one player's"

After listening to what James said, Mr. Park nodded.

After a while, James finished writing all the lists and handed them to park.

Park took the list and looked at it.

Rome, Cafu.

Bastia, Essien.

K. DE BRUYNE— BELGIUM U13

J. VARDY— NONE—

when he saw Cafu's name, park's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Not long after park left.

There was a sudden sound of overlapping footsteps outside James's door, and it sounded like more than one person.

Immediately afterwards, two voices of hello also sounded outside the door, both of which seemed more restrained.

"Please come in."

Immediately, two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes walked in from outside the door, all dressed as elites.

"Mr. James, I am the head of Puma"

"Hello."

James nodded, smiled and shook hands with the head of Puma.

"Hello Mr. James, I'm the general manager of Jeep.""

The general manager of Jeep also came over and stretched out a hand.

"Hello."

Then, he pointed to the two seats opposite, "You two, please sit. "

"I heard Mr park said, the two of you are here to talk about sponsorship?"

Looking at the awkward look of the two, James chose to take the lead in breaking the deadlock and chatted.

"Yes."

"Um."

"Then who of you will talk about your weight first?" James glanced at the two with a smile and asked.

"Let me say it first."

The general manager of Jeep first cleared his throat and said seriously, "I don't like to go around."

"Headquarters is very optimistic about the potential of Blackpool Club in the future."

"So I am willing to provide blackpool with a five-year, 80 million euro shirt sponsorship and a 40% share of the shirt sales."

"This is definitely not a low price. Some teams in the Premier League can't get this price."

After listening, James nodded slightly.

This price, about 16 million euros a year, is indeed not too low in this era.

Including 40% of the sales of jerseys, it is also a good proportion.

After all, Blackpool is not responsible for the production and distribution of these jerseys and a series of troublesome processes.

Just get people to buy Blackpool jerseys.

"So, what about Puma?"

James did not express his thoughts first, but turned his attention to the person in charge of Puma next to him.

The person in charge looked confident at this time.

"We are willing to pay 120 million euros in shirt sponsorship for five years and hand over a 50% share."

24 million euros a year

Fifty percent

James was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Puma, which is not as good as Jeep, but quoted a higher price.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to the general manager of Jepp, which was self-evident.

Jersey sponsorship, of course, depends on interests.

It can't be said that your Jeep seems to be more famous, so I can let you sponsor it at a low price.

"E..."

The person in charge of Jeep was a little embarrassed at this time.

He hesitated for a while, glanced at James, and then said: "I'm going out to make a phone call."

The head of Jeep walked out immediately.

After three or four minutes passed, he walked back to the office and sat on the stool.

"How about it?"

Seeing him sitting down, James asked with a smile.

"This is our last offer, if it doesn't work we will quit.

The person in charge of Jeep swallowed his saliva and said: "Five years, 140 million euros, divided into 40%."

60 million higher than the last quotation!

The share ratio remains the same!

"..."

As soon as James said a word, he was interrupted by the person in charge of Puma.

"Five years, 150 million, divided into 50%..."

The person in charge of Puma smiled and said, not expecting Jeep to withdraw so early.

"Then we quit."

The voice of the person in charge fell, and the person in charge of Jeep shook his head and stood up.

As an elite person, he also shook hands with the two of them in a very graceful manner, and left here after wishing a happy cooperation.

"Is Blackpool satisfied with the offer?"

The person in charge of Puma smiled and asked with confidence.

"Quite satisfied."

James didn't lie, nodded, and then said: "But does Puma want to play something bigger?"

"Oh?"

The person in charge of Puma didn't quite understand what James meant and asked, "What?"

"It's five years after all."

James said with a smile: "If Blackpool wins many, many trophies in the future, it will gain a lot of attention and fans around the world."

"Then this price is a bit of a loss for us."

After hearing this, the person in charge of Puma didn't react.

High attention and fans all over the world?

Does this mean winning the Champions League?

Even if Blackpool has potential, can they win the Champions League in five years?

This is a bit too whimsical, isn't it?

"Mr. James, this..."

The person in charge of Puma wanted to say something, but was interrupted by James waving his hand.

"You know about gambling agreements in business, right?

" Yes.""

Of course the person in charge of Puma knew it very well and nodded.

"so."

James calculated in his mind, "We will set up three gambling agreements within five years."

"The first, whether blackpool can win the Europa League.""

"Second, blackpool break into the Premier League."

"The third is whether Blackpool can win the Champions League"

The person in charge of Puma was stunned for a while, and asked inexplicably: "Then what?

"Doing one of this and Puma will give an additional 30 million euros in sponsorship fees."

James's eyes were a bit shrewd, and he said: "If there is one item that is not achieved in the statistics five years later, the sponsorship fee of 20 million will be deducted."

After listening to what James said, the person in charge of Puma was stunned, and finally asked a question that was not quite sure.

"Well, I have no problem."

"It's Mr. James, where are you...really?

James smiled and nodded, "Yes I am Seriously."

The person in charge of Puma stood up, squeezed out a smile and stretched out his hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

He felt that James was too confident, and it was a bit like giving money.

and.

James was considering Nike, but they were running late, and Puma made a really good offer, so he had to

"Pleasant to work with."

James also stood up and stretched out his hand, "Draw up a contract and try to sign it as soon as possible."

"Um."

The head of Puma nodded.
