Chapter 124: The pattern is broken in Tucson (Third update, please vote for me)

A worried Mancini received a call from Mubarak. On the phone, the club's president asked Mancini to explain the scandal of locker room strife that was recently exposed by the media. church

Mancini can say "no comment" or "nonsense" in front of the media, but he definitely has no guts to do so in front of the club president.

Because he felt that he was completely innocent and that he was a victim, Mancini told Mubarak the matter happily. Of course, he still aggrieved himself in his words, and believed that Aguero's behavior without a sense of the overall situation was the culprit that led to the team's final collapse.

"In the team, the authority of the head coach must be protected, Mr. Chairman! Such things cannot be allowed to happen again and again. A united team is the most effective team! Look at Liverpool, Mr. Chairman, they are very united..."

"You are right, Mr. Mancini." Mubarak's voice sounded without any emotion. "So for the sake of team unity, I hope you submit your resignation yourself."

"Huh?" Mancini was stunned for a moment, and then he realized - the club chairman asked him to resign!

His blood instantly surged to the top of his head.

"Sorry, Mr. Chairman, did I hear you correctly... You, you just asked me to resign myself? Can I understand that?"

"Yes, you understand it absolutely right. Mr. Mancini, I gave you enough time, but you never really brought this team to the top... When we were closest to the championship, you because He had conflicts with the players and made very willful actions, which caused us to lose this final... I think you should understand that you are no longer suitable to coach this team."

Mancini held the phone blankly, unable to believe every word he heard.

Why?

He was obviously right, so why was he the one who left the team in the end?

He was still planning to put pressure on Aguero through the club's top brass. ("") If Aguero doesn't apologize to himself, then he will sell him off at the end of the season - no matter how capable you are, I won't use it! A player who doesn't know how to respect the head coach and goes so far as to confront the head coach in the locker room will be used by whoever wants to use him!

But why would this debt be placed on him?

"This... this is unfair!" The angry Mancini finally yelled out the injustice in his heart.

"I didn't make any mistakes! Don't you know what Manchester City was like before I coached it? Mr. Chairman! It was my introduction that changed the current situation that although this team is strong, it can only rank in the middle of the pack! Although I We didn’t win the championship, but the overall trend of this team is developing in a good direction! You can’t simply use championships to measure my coaching results!”

"Yes, the club will issue a public statement after your resignation to thank you for everything you have done for the team, Mr. Mancini."

Mubarak was not moved by Mancini's defense, and he still said in a voice without emotion.

Listening to Mubarak's cold words, Mancini felt like falling into an ice cave. Of course, this also calmed his mind.

He had always looked down on this layman who didn't understand football at all. He felt that this layman could only listen to his own opinions as a professional and do whatever he asked him to do. In fact, this is also true. If you tell the club "I need these people," then the club will find ways to meet his requirements and form the strongest team for him.

He always felt that it was the club chairman who was fascinated by his personality and professionalism. He would always listen to him and become his best assistant.

But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking on his part.

In the face of absolute power, your professional knowledge is not worth a single euro!

He is definitely much faster than me when it comes to turning around and disowning people!

But do you have to sit still and wait for death?

Of course Mancini didn't do it. ""

He still has three years left on his contract with Manchester City. In order to fully express Manchester City's trust and support for Mancini, after Mancini lost the league championship for two consecutive seasons, Manchester City renewed his contract and gave him a five-year contract. .

Now it seems that Manchester City is simply taken advantage of by a stupid guy with a lot of money...

But Mancini doesn't care whether Manchester City suffers a loss, as long as he doesn't suffer a loss, that's fine.

There is a clause in the club contract with Manchester City, which is the "liquidated damages clause". If the Manchester City club fires Mancini before the contract expires, then they will have to pay a liquidated damages of 20 million pounds, and they will also have to pay Mancini a monthly salary on time until the contract expires.

If Mancini voluntarily resigns, he will also have to pay the club a liquidated damages worth 10 million pounds, and will be regarded as voluntarily giving up all income and compensation during the remaining contract period with the club.

To put it simply, if Manchester City fires Mancini, they will pay Mancini 20 million pounds in liquidated damages, and at the same time pay Mancini's remaining salary on a monthly basis, and Mancini's current salary is 100%. The second highest salary in the world, with an annual salary of 10 million pounds after tax!

Even if the remaining months of this season are not included, and only the three complete seasons are counted, Mancini still has a three-year contract with Manchester City. Manchester City only needs to pay Mancini a salary of 30 million pounds after tax. As for the liquidated damages of 20 million pounds, Manchester City will have to pay 50 million pounds. Even if Manchester City took advantage of the enemy, they would not spend so much money on a person who has no use value, just like they are unwilling to continue to waste salary on Tevez and Dzeko, two players that the team no longer need. .

But if Mancini leaves on his own initiative, Manchester City will not lose a penny and will earn a net liquidated damages of 10 million pounds.

This deal is certainly a good deal!

Mancini is not a fool. When he calmed down, he knew that his time at Manchester City Club was over and there was absolutely no way he would stay.

But if he is asked to resign voluntarily and the club is required to pay another 10 million pounds in liquidated damages, he will not do it!

So he quickly calmed down and returned to the image of a wise, elegant, calm, and personable gentleman.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman. I still have more than three years of contract with Manchester City Club, and I will fulfill the remaining contract."

Mubarak cursed Mancini as a son of a bitch in his heart, but he was still very polite.

"I think you may have some misunderstanding, Mr. Mancini. We don't need you to continue to perform the rest of the contract. Of course, in return, we will not ask you to pay 10 million pounds in liquidated damages..."

Mubarak thought that Mancini just didn't want to pay liquidated damages, so he decided to throw out his trump card to make the other party surrender - look at how generous we are, we don't want your money anymore, are you still hanging on? Get out of here!

But he underestimated Mancini's determination and misjudged Mancini's thoughts.

"There is indeed some misunderstanding, Mr. Chairman. I repeat, I will not leave the club and I will fulfill the remaining contract." Mancini said with dignity.

But Mubarak suddenly understood - this bastard didn't want to pay liquidated damages but wanted to make money!

He set his sights on the 20 million liquidated damages and the 30 million pounds annual after-tax salary stipulated in the contract!

This son of a bitch! Those who play football are sons of bitches!

Mubarak cursed in his heart, but he had to suppress his anger to negotiate with Mancini.

"You only need to take the initiative to resign. I guarantee you in the name of the club that we will give you a decent leave and we will not ask you for a penny in liquidated damages."

"But I do, Mr. Chairman."

Now that everything has been talked about, there is nothing to hide.

Mancini played his cards right.

Since both parties are determined to break up, let's get straight to the point.

"Mr. Chairman, now you have two options. One, forcibly fire me, and then pay me a liquidated damages of 20 million pounds according to the contract, and then pay my salary on time every month until the end of the contract. Two, let me continue Stay in the team and coach, and then I will give you a few championships to meet your requirements."

"You can't be so shameless!" Mubarak couldn't help shouting after hearing Mancini's conditions. He really didn't expect Mancini to be so shameless. He originally thought that he didn't want Mancini to pay liquidated damages. To Mancini, it was a huge favor. Even if Mancini didn't kneel down to thank him, he would still feel grateful. Be grateful, pack your bags and get out with a grateful heart, and at the same time spread the word: "My boss is a kind-hearted and good man! I am sorry for him and let him down... He just drove me away, but didn't If you ask me to pay liquidated damages, I am considered a good person!"

But I didn’t expect that the gap between reality and ideals was too big, and the reality was so cruel...

"How can it be shameless to act according to the contract, Mr. Chairman?" Mancini asked with a smile. "If you say shameless things and make me the scapegoat, who is obviously not wrong, who is more shameless? Mr. Chairman?"

"You are blackmailing!" Mubarak yelled angrily.

"I remind you again, Mr. Mubarak, please pay attention to your words, otherwise I can sue you for defamation. If you want to let me go, it is very simple, Mr. Mubarak, follow the contract, and give me whatever you have to pay." I will never hesitate. As long as you give me money, I can leave the team this afternoon." Now that they were at odds, Mancini even changed his title, saying "Mr. Mubarak" ", full of a strong sense of sarcasm.

Mubarak couldn't bear the insult and stimulation and hung up the phone directly. He did not continue talking to Mancini, and now he did not know how the two of them could continue talking.

Listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Mancini snorted.

He felt that he was right to look down on the layman who was younger than himself. You actually want to let yourself go without spending a penny? How can there be such a good thing in the world? How naive!

Boy, you, the pattern is broken!
