Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 290: Volume 3 The Red Forest Tomorrow Star (Part 1)

The successful signing of Mikel Arteta is not only a strengthening of the Forest team's midfield strength, but also an unintentional result-Billy Woods is anxious.

After just rejecting his request for a salary increase for George Wood, the Forest team immediately introduced a midfielder in the same position, which also had to be reminiscent.

Early the next morning, Dunn's cell phone rang again, and it seemed that Billy Woods was calling. He smiled. He knew why this man was so anxious about giving Wood a raise. Obviously he has just signed a contract and hopes to show his players some results and prove his ability.

Of course, don’t ask why this agent is so enthusiastic to improve the treatment of his players, saying that he is really helping Wood? Dunn is skeptical, knowing that the agent's income comes from his players. The range of agents allowed by FIFA to receive remuneration is 5% of the player’s income (including salary income, brand endorsement fees, portrait rights...) and 10% of the player’s transfer fee.

Wood's current weekly salary is only two thousand eight hundred pounds, and five percent is one hundred and forty pounds. Besides, George Wood's current weekly salary is a stable income without much other economic sources. In other words, as Wood's agent, Woods can only get one hundred and forty pounds a week. It's really shabby...

Dunn waited for the bell to ring four times, then slowly pressed the answer button, and muttered in a vague voice: "I hope you know what time it is, Mr. Billy Woods..."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Dunn, I didn't expect you to get up yet." The tone was as harsh as ever, and he didn't ask for the enlightenment of others.

Dunn wanted to tease the other party, but he didn't expect to be fooled. He coughed and his voice returned to normal. "What can you do with me, Mr. Woods?"

"Ah, of course. I hope we can reopen negotiations on George Wood's new contract..."

"Is it still 40,000 weekly salary?" Dunn interrupted the other party, and if it was still 40,000, he didn't need to talk about anything, hung up the phone to eat breakfast, and continued cold processing.

He certainly knows that the current salary is too low for Wood, but he needs the other party to report a suitable and acceptable figure, not the lion who doesn't care about it. That means he needs to go down a step. But Wookes felt very good about himself, and he was very uncomfortable when he opened his mouth and asked for a "40,000 weekly salary".

"If the club feels that this number is unreasonable, we can continue to talk." Wooks obviously gave in, and Dunn followed the steps.

"Very well, Mr. Woods, please come to my office at 3:30 this afternoon. Let's talk in person."

※※※

The Forest team now trains twice a day. They are preparing for the forthcoming fourth round of the FA Cup. At that time, the Forest team will have a strong dialogue at home, one they have just won but still dare not take it lightly. Opponent-Manchester United.

The training in the afternoon ended very early, and Dunn and Wookes agreed at 3:30, which was the time when the training ended.

Dunn stood in the lobby of Building One, hiding in the shadow of the wall, and saw Billy Woods, who had just walked into the training base, talking with George Wood. The two had just signed an agent contract. But it seems that they have known each other for a long time.

Dunn grinned, turned and walked back to the office.

Compared with the head coach, the agent obviously has a closer relationship with the players and walks closer. He used to be able to talk to Wood often, but now that with that Woods, the two of them seem to have less communication...If Woods was not happy with his current income, he would go directly to himself In front of him, and then told him: "I hope to increase my salary."

The current situation is that Wood never expresses any opinions about his own income. Everything is left to Woods. Although this salary is not a big deal, what will happen in the future? There are still many questions they need to communicate in the future. Let this matter be calculated. Will the broker who is always calculating come to talk to him?

He suddenly felt that he was stupid to always encourage Wood to find an agent before, but now when he did find it, he felt unhappy in his heart.

Just as he stared at the empty training ground outside the window, there was a knock on the door behind him.

"Please come in." Dunn turned around and calmly looked at Billy Woods, who opened the door. Compared with his slightly rudeness, the person in front of him was always so meticulous in appearance. Dunn had never seen a mess of Wooks's hair, or wrinkles on his clothes and pants.

This is a detail-oriented person.

Dunn gave Woods such a conclusion in his heart.

"Please sit down, Mr. Wookes." Dunn pointed to the sofa in front of the table.

Wooks had just taken his seat, knocking on the door again, Miss Barbara Lucy came in with a cup of steaming black tea, and then gently placed it in front of Wooks. Wookes thanked her.

After doing all this, Miss Barbara retired, and Dunn and Wookes started the topic.

"Mr. Woods, let's go straight to the subject, I don't like talking nonsense."

Wookes nodded: "Me too, Mr. Dunn."

"Let me first declare that the weekly salary of £40,000 you previously proposed is completely out of negotiation. Nottingham Forest's highest paid player is this number. George Wood cannot get the same salary as them."

"Why? Mr. Dunn, as far as I know, George is no less effective than Van der Sar and Viduka."

Dunn glanced at Woods: "I want to ask you a question first, Mr. Woods. How much do you know about football?"

"Not much." Woods answered honestly.

"Do you watch at least one league match every weekend?"

Wookes shook his head.

"In other words, in terms of football, I have more power to speak than you." Dunn smiled, "A young defensive player who debuted for less than two years will get a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds. What would other people think? You can also check the information to see if there is such a precedent in world football."

Wookes was silent for a while, as if he was seriously considering Dunn's words.

Dunn also knows that the new contract must be signed. Wood's current salary is the lowest in the team, but his contribution can be ranked first. If the income and the effort are always not proportional, there will be problems. . He can't ask people to "sacrifice the ego to complete the big ego." No matter how good the relationship is with Wood, it is useless. To pay Wood a higher reward is also a kind of respect for him.

Sometimes everyone needs to make some concessions, no matter how much he hates the man in front of him, after all, he is already Wood's agent. In the future, he will have to deal with it, and the relationship will be too stiff and not good. The agent can largely control the player's thoughts, isn't it right to force Wood to leave?

Dunn coughed, and then said: "Of course, I know George's salary is low now, and I also plan to prepare a new contract for him." He took out a prepared contract from the drawer and handed it to Woods. .

Wookes looked at the contract very seriously. During the whole process, he didn't say anything and the expression on his face did not change, so that Dunn could not guess his thoughts from his expression.

Wookes finally raised his head, looked at Dunn and said, "A weekly salary of ten thousand yuan?"

"Any questions?"

"I think if the Forest Club really regards George as their key young player, then it should show enough sincerity."

"Are you too low?" Dunn took back the contract and pointed to the above clause and said, "The whole of England is willing to give a young man who only represents the first team for a season with no more than five clubs with a weekly salary of 10,000. The Forest is not the richest club. I hope you understand that, Mr. Wookes."

"Of course I understand, but I don't think this has anything to do with my requirements. I think the Forest team should show confidence in retaining talents in terms of salary. To be honest, I think this number is more perfunctory. As far as I know, There are not a few people in the forest team who have this number of salaries. This is just a lower income level. And George Wood’s role is definitely not a lower income."

Dunn gritted his teeth, this person is too...too difficult!

"In addition, I think the eight-year contract period is unreasonable. Such a long period restricts the player's freedom. I believe that even with FIFA, the Forest team is unreasonable."

Obviously Woods came prepared this time. Dunn admitted that they took some loopholes when they signed an eight-year contract with Wood, with the goal of keeping Wood in the Forest team for a longer period of time with minimal cost. When Wood did not have an agent, no one raised these questions. Wood played at ease and Dunn enjoyed the victory. But when Wood had such a savvy agent by his side, he had more troubles.

"Of course, I'm here to negotiate with you, Mr. Dunn. There are some things that we don't need to let others know. I can accept a five-year contract period, but eight years will never work."

Dunn leaned on the table and didn't say anything, looking at Wookes who was talking eloquently, waiting for him to finish.
