In the past Premier League, you might have such time and space, but now the league is highly commercialized, and every team has invested a lot and no mistakes can be tolerated. Naturally, the team's management also needs to change its philosophy, and Arthur agrees with Nicholas' words.

After taking over the Southampton Club, I will never sell players casually. I have to sell them at the real black store price!

How beautiful would the picture be if Southampton didn’t sell stars?

Nicholas Courtesan looked at Arthur and said emotionally: "Even if we go well to enter the Premier League the year after tomorrow, if we didn't play in the Premier League for the goal of winning the championship, there would be no chance to get the ticket to the Champions League.

Nowadays, Serie A decline is a recognized fact, and the fairness of La Liga and the financial system of the league are more inclined toward giant clubs. In contrast, the annual dividend amount of the Premier League for each team is also incomparable to other major leagues.

Only by winning the Champions League ticket will the club's finances tend to be balanced and even have a slight surplus."

Arthur was very satisfied with the Italian's ambition and lofty ambition. He acquired the Saints not to make a living in the Premier League, be a bartender, or be a lift.

Looking at the world-class attention and influence gained by the tyrants from Russia and desert tyrants using their clubs, it is simply a supreme tool for publicity and marketing!

"After acquiring the Saints, I will take out part of the money to solve the club's financial crisis, and at the same time, I will invest part of the money. I never thought how much it could help me make." Arthur expressed his attitude.

When Nicholas Courtesan heard Arthur say this, he nodded seriously and continued: "Of course, in the Premier League, it's not enough to just talk about money. In fact, the Saints are really a good asset, and the resources that wealthy clubs have actually Saints have. But the trick of the Saints is that they can also cultivate young top players.

Players who have emerged from Southampton youth training are all hot products from major clubs. But we cannot train young players ourselves just to sell them at a good price. If we continue like this, it will be equivalent to ruining the club's future."

"It is a common problem for many small and medium-sized clubs to cultivate people, but not keep people." At this time, Jerry, a hardcore Saints fan beside him, shook his head with a wry smile on his face and sighed.

Courtesy nodded understandingly and said, "This is the key. The club must not only be able to develop young top players, but also retain them. Only in this way can the team seize the opportunity to maximize their potential.

According to my years of management experience, players usually leave for high salaries, and Southampton cannot pay such high salaries to players like giant Premier League clubs.

Therefore, the advantage of Southampton retaining people is not only in making the players identify with the team's grand goals.

If I were the Southampton club manager now, no matter which wealthy club will offer a sky-high price this summer, my answer would be very simple, just "no". No sky-high price will not make me tempted to sell players."

Courtesy looked at Arthur, the young boss, and explained: "There is no need at all. Although the financial situation of the Southampton Club is a bit bad, as long as the boss acquires it and smoothes it out, there is no need to rely on selling players to make up for the shortcomings.

First of all, we need to formulate a five-year plan, and the club must have internal motivation to move forward. If you just want to be at peace, then the failure will not be far away. One of the prerequisites for the club to move forward is that the core of the team must not only stay in the team, but also unite with the team.

If the club can do this, I am confident that within three years, Southampton will be a team that can live in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League. Even a chance to enter the Champions League.”

Arthur listened to the confident words of Courtesy and was always talking about the issue of "not selling players". Arthur couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that this person was very worried that after he took over the Saints, he would not be able to resist the quotes from the wealthy families and force the club to sell players to exchange for money.

In fact, if Curtis thinks so, it is normal for him to prevent it in advance. Club owners are usually from businessmen and are animals chasing interests. If a player can sell 50 to 60 million pounds, who can not be moved?

"I can promise you that within three years, as long as you can get the Saints back to the Premier League, I will never interfere with all the normal operations of the club. I can give you the greatest trust and power. I hope you can prove with facts that my decision is correct. You are worthy of my trust!" Arthur looked serious and solemn, and said with a sharp look at Courtesan.

Courtesan did not evade at all, but said solemnly: "Boss, I also believe in the facts. As long as the club continues to develop according to the five-year plan I planned and achieve the goals of each stage, I have the confidence to lead the saints to success."

"Haha, I like your confidence. It seems that before you came to see me, you already had a comprehensive consideration and you should have a head coach. You should have a head coach? At the beginning, you said you would change the head coach." Arthur likes capable and confident subordinates.

"Yes, boss, I have indeed figured out the candidate. Scanthorp's current head coach Nigel Adkins led Scanthorp to the League One championship in 2006/07 and advanced to the League One championship. Although Scanthorp was relegated to the League One again in 2007/08, he led the team to the League One playoff championship in 2008/09 and returned to the League One Championship again.

He has rich experience in striking for more advanced leagues. As long as he is invited and our current lineup, it will not be difficult to return to the Championship next year." Courtesy introduced to Arthur.

"He has led Scanthorp to the Championship. Will he choose to leave?" Arthur couldn't help frowning and asked curiously.

"I will definitely do it. I watched Scanthorp's summer deal this year. Not only did the team not strengthen, but instead sold three core players. In this way, Scanthorp will undoubtedly have another lift. I think Nigel Adkins, as the head coach, has definitely had enough of this situation. I can convince him personally. I believe he will choose us because we have ambitions and have greater goals!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Arthur nodded and said. Then he looked at Jerry on the side and smiled, "Haha, we are happy here and prepared very well, as if the saints do not belong to me yet! Haha, Jerry, what do they say?"

"hehe……"

Several people couldn't help laughing at Arthur's joke, and Jerry also smiled: "I told them your offer. They said the offer was too low and could not accept it. After bargaining with them, they again offered 15 million pounds, but they really wanted to get rid of the saints' burden. I think the price is also very sincere."

"Is 15 million pounds?" Arthur frowned, blinked his eyes, thought for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "Although this price is acceptable, it's still a bit high, so let's do it."

Arthur raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He looked at Jerry and said, "Call it and make an appointment with the major shareholder of the Saints. I will invite them to dinner at Pier 15 tonight. I want to talk to them."

Jerry said, "Okay boss, I'll call you right away."

"Well, go ahead." Arthur said to look at Jerry who had already stood up, then looked at Courtis and said, "You will be together tonight, and I hope you can help me reduce the price from the professional field."

"Boss, what is your psychological price?" asked Cotis.

"My budget is 15 million pounds, but since they are eager to climb ashore, and with the current difficulties Southampton is facing, I don't suppress the price severely. Sorry for this good opportunity, 12 million to 13 million pounds, how much money you save, you, the club manager, have as much money. Therefore, this negotiation is closely related to you." Arthur looked at the wry smile with a wicked smile on his face.

"Okay, boss, I will do my best. I will go back and sort out the information about the saints later." Courtesan smiled helplessly.

Jiang Lai, who had been sitting quietly beside Arthur and listening to the conversation among several people, looked at Arthur from time to time during this process. He had almost digested Arthur's identity as a nobleman or a count. The shock and surprise he had before was mainly due to an accident. She never thought that Arthur would be an earl. The 21-year-old count was so young.

However, now she was not surprised by the tens of millions of pounds of business. Instead, she felt that Arthur was so terrified and smart in business at this age, and she felt that he deserved to be rich.

There was also a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Arthur. At this age, he could calmly control tens of millions of pounds to do business. Is this the so-called aristocratic elite education in the UK?

"Buzz"

At this moment, Arthur's cell phone rang. Arthur looked at it and showed a bright smile on his face, and he picked it up.

"Boss, London Gold cleared all its positions at the price of $1049-1046 per ounce, and made a profit of more than $123 million. This time, London Gold's profit totaled more than $240 million..."

As soon as the phone was answered, he heard Smith and Jama report this great news to him in an extremely excited voice. Arthur had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but wave his fist with excitement, glanced at Jiang Lai who was vaguely heard the content of the phone, and was stunned again.

Arthur ignored Jiang Lai who was completely confused for the time being, but took a deep breath and said to the phone: "Thank you for the hard work these two days. Go back and have a good rest and have a relaxing weekend. Don't worry, I won't be stingy with the bonus."

"No, boss, this is what I should do, and I didn't do anything, just..."
