Restricted Superstar

Carrington Training Base

Manchester United players finished their afternoon training. After taking a shower, they drove away. However, Manchester United's first star Rooney did not leave. Instead, he turned and went to the office of Manchester United coach Ferguson.

When Rooney came in, Ferguson was watching the UEFA Champions League match between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the office.

Seeing Rooney, Ferguson was not surprised at all, because it was he who kept Rooney. "Wayne, tell me why I refused to renew?"

Rooney scratched his head. Even in the face of the boss Glazer, he dared to say "Go ask my agent Stretford", but to Ferguson, Rooney could only say: "Boss,

Stretford hopes that I will renew my contract after the Champions League final. "

"What's the difference?" Ferguson stared at Rooney sharply, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Rooney said honestly: "Because there are some things I don't want to say before the Champions League final."

Ferguson touched his rosacea. "Can you tell me?"

Rooney said: "Yes, it's just my idea. I don't think we have the dominant power anymore, because we have not bought better players in the transfer market. Our competitiveness has been declining. Now we have lost the league championship and the FA Cup champion, if we lose to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, we will only win a League Cup that is not as good as it is. This is not the Manchester United I want. I hope the team can bring in more capable players and win even more. Many trophies."

After listening patiently to Rooney, Ferguson suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "We have reached the Champions League final. We are one of the two best teams in Europe. We are in a stalemate with Chelsea until the final round of the championship. You said The competitiveness of such a team is declining? Wayne, what kind of ecstasy has Stretford poured you into, you actually said such a jerk."

Rooney said without fear, "Boss, I want Manchester United to be the best one. The League Cup champions can't satisfy me."

Ferguson sneered: "You are so optimistic about our defeat last season, or you just look down on Manchester United?"

Rooney said stubbornly: "I'm telling the truth, our strength is indeed not as good as Inter Milan."

Ferguson knocked on the table with his fingers, his tone became calm, and said: "Let's talk, Wayne, there are no outsiders here, do you think the club's contract renewal conditions for you are low?"

Rooney did not adapt to Ferguson’s changes. He touched his forehead, as if his brain was not enough, and said: “150,000 pounds is a lot more than my original 90,000 pounds, but Barack already has a weekly salary of 130,000 pounds. Stretford thinks I should follow Ronaldo."

Want the highest salary in the world? Ferguson almost jumped up with anger. He barely controlled his anger and said: "Wayne, we are Manchester United, not Real Madrid. The team is now in debt of 700 million pounds. The boss just issued a 500 million company four months ago. Bonds, do you think it might give you the world's first annual salary?"

Rooney said: "I don't mean to surpass Ronaldo, but the weekly salary of 150,000 pounds is too little."

Ferguson sneered: "I thought it was the team's configuration that doesn't match your ambitions. It turns out that the salary doesn't match your ambitions."

Rooney said anxiously: "No, boss, the configuration of the team is also very important. I hope that we will buy more good stars in the summer transfer instead of using the money we sold Ronaldo to pay off our debts."

Ferguson's face sank and said: "Wayne, you don't need to be a player to worry about what the club uses for the funds. You just need to do your job well. It doesn't matter how much we invest in the transfer market, what matters is us. What is the result, is it a strong contender for the championship."

Rooney stopped talking.

Ferguson said: "Wayne, the Champions League final is down. Don't say anything that affects the military's morale before the big game, and don't let your **** agent say if you are dissatisfied, then talk to David. Jill. Glazer talked about the end of the Champions League final. Don't make the decision to refuse to renew at this time, let alone let your agent speak out, understand? Wayne."

Speaking of the end, Ferguson has become sturdy. In Ferguson's mind, Luo is the best player in the world. Of course he can get the highest annual salary in the world, but Rooney can only be regarded as the best player in Manchester United. It is enough to get the highest annual salary in Manchester United. , He was very dissatisfied with Rooney's big mouth, but he thought it was Rooney's agent Stretford instigated, if possible, Ferguson would like to change Rooney to an agent, such as Mendes.

"Yes, boss."

Rooney left with a grievance, because he felt that his request was not excessive, shouldn't the team buy people? He took the £90,000 weekly salary for so long, shouldn't he be compensated?

Shortly after Rooney left, Manchester United eo David. Jill is here.

"Have you talked to Rooney?"

Seeing Ferguson, Jill couldn't wait to ask that Rooney's contract extension is very important to Manchester United. Now Manchester United is in debt and cannot afford to buy superstars. If Rooney leaves again, then Manchester United is in danger.

"Talked." Ferguson peeled a piece of gum and put it in his mouth to relax his emotions.

"What did Rooney say?"

"Rooney is not satisfied with the salary provided by the team. He also hopes that the team will sign in. I can see that although Rooney also has this requirement, it is mainly his agent Stretford who provoked it."

"The weekly salary of 150,000 pounds is quite a lot, similar to Messi, much higher than the annual salary Inter Milan gave Xiaodong Gao. Can he be stronger than Messi and Gao Xiaodong?" Jill made a fuss.

Ferguson frowned and said: "The salary seems to be negotiable, but Rooney is very dissatisfied with the team's purchases. This is difficult to deal with."

Gil said: "Doesn't he know the plight of the team? After Christmas, fans have launched a green gold revolution to crowdfunding to buy Manchester United."

Ferguson said bluntly: "Players will not think about issues from the perspective of the boss. All they want is victory and championship."

Gil dissatisfied: "The Glazer acquisition is a tragedy. If we don't sell Ronaldo in the past few years, and then buy Gao Xiaodong and Benzema, we can establish a Manchester United dynasty."

Ferguson said: "Don't cry over the spilled milk, at least the owner of Glazer has not interfered with us in the transfer. We can buy whoever we want."

Jill said: "With just such a small transfer budget, who can we buy?"

Ferguson said indifferently: "Just keep Rooney and find a suitable successor for Scholes. We have a good configuration in other positions and don't need to spend too much money."

Gil sighed: "Although we have lost the league championship and the FA Cup, I think Mr. Glazer should still give you a raise, otherwise any coach will not be able to achieve such a result under this transfer budget. ."

Ferguson laughed and said, "I support your suggestion to boss Glazer."

Gil said: "But it's not so easy to keep Rooney or find Scholes' successor."

Ferguson said: "Rooney is okay, Scholes’ successor is really hard to find. He is one of the best midfielders in the world, not inferior to Harvey and Pirlo. The successor I found for him is Ozie. Or Sneijder. Sneijder fits my requirements better."

Jill smiled slightly and said, "I remember you have been thinking about Xiao Donggao all the time."

Ferguson sighed, "Of course I am very optimistic about Xiao Donggao. It turns out that his offense is weaker and his defense is stronger. But this year, he has grown rapidly, especially in the last few games of this season. His performance is phenomenal. Yes, last season was our only chance to buy him. I also persuaded Mr. Glazer. Unfortunately, he was disrupted by Mourinho. Now at least 80 million euros, we can’t afford it.”

Jill smiled secretly and said, "Sir, what do you think of the 500 million pounds of corporate bonds?"

Ferguson said: "That's a company business, I can't control it."

Jill smiled and said: "The 500 million pounds bond issuance is to replace the previous syndicated loan. On the surface, this looks like a thankless move: the annual interest rate jumped directly from the original floating 6% of the syndicated loan to about 6%. A fixed interest rate of nearly 10% also resulted in a huge issuance cost of 15 million pounds.

But in this way, the pressure on Manchester United's debt principal in the near-term period has been greatly eased, and it has been postponed to 2017; getting rid of the restrictions of loan syndication, Glazer has more flexible capital scheduling rights to decide whether to invest in the transfer market or to pay Pik borrows usury, so bond issuance is a more favorable option for Manchester United. "

Ferguson is not an economic expert, but Jill’s analysis is reasonable, and at a glance, Ferguson’s eyes lit up immediately, and said: "You mean, in fact, we can have huge transfer funds?"

Jill said meaningfully: "Yes, but you have to persuade Mr. Glazer to put the funds in the transfer market instead of paying off the debt."

Ferguson touched his rosacea, thought for a while, and said, "I understand."

Gil and Ferguson have worked together for many years. He knows what he understands from Ferguson’s scorching eyes. He has successfully provoked Ferguson’s ambition to buy Gao Xiaodong. Although the cost is astronomical, as long as Ferguson is determined to do it, Glazer is Ferguson can't be stopped.

For Jill, the transfer right is not in his hands. It has nothing to do with him whether Manchester United can buy Gao Xiaodong, but since the "Red Knights" want Manchester United to buy Gao Xiaodong, Jill doesn’t mind making it happen, because he doesn’t. Doesn't support Glazer as the boss of Manchester United.
