187: The King’s New Clothes and the Devil’s ScheduleIn the conference room of the Phoenix Training Center, Lin Feng gently placed the document in his hand on the table.

Richard Arnold had just returned from Southampton, his face still showing the fatigue of a long journey, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.

”Boss, Southampton has basically agreed to our terms.”

A hint of pride was in Richard’s voice.

”But they made an additional request—they hope Joel Porter can be loaned to them to help them avoid relegation.”

Lin Feng’s fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times.

Porter was the team’s veteran striker; although he didn’t get much playing time, his professionalism had always been a role model for young players.

From a purely business perspective, this deal was indeed beneficial for Hartlepool United.

Porter’s departure would free up more space for young players, and Lallana’s arrival would significantly improve the team’s technical level.

”Arrange for me to talk with Porter.”

Lin Feng stood up and walked to the window.

”This kind of thing must be handled properly; no one should feel abandoned.”

An hour later, Joel Porter knocked on Lin Feng’s office door.

The 33-year-old veteran striker had a hint of apprehension on his face, clearly having heard some rumors.

”Have a seat, Joel.”

Lin Feng pointed to the chair opposite, his tone gentle.

”I think you’ve already guessed why I called you in.”

Porter nodded, his hands clasped together.

”Is it about Southampton?”

”That’s right.”

Lin Feng looked directly into Porter’s eyes.

”They hope you can go on loan to help them complete their mission of avoiding relegation.”

A complex expression flashed across Porter’s face.

As a professional player, he naturally hoped for more playing opportunities.

But Hartlepool United had already become his second home.

”Boss, if this is the club’s decision, I will obey.”

Porter’s voice was a little hoarse.

”But I want to know, does this mean I no longer have value here?”

Lin Feng shook his head, a sincere smile on his face.

”Quite the opposite, Joel. The reason Southampton wants you is precisely because of your value.”

He took a contract from the drawer.

”This is the new contract the club has prepared for you. No matter where you play, Hartlepool United will always be your home.”

Porter took the contract and read the terms carefully.

The club not only promised to pay part of his salary during the loan period but also guaranteed to offer him a coaching or scouting position after his retirement.

”Boss, you’re...”

Porter’s voice trembled slightly.

He had never imagined receiving such generous treatment.

”You deserve this, Joel.”

Lin Feng’s tone was firm.

”You’ve given everything for this club, and now it’s the club’s turn to think of you.”

Porter took a deep breath, his eyes a little moist.

”I agree to this loan, Boss. But I hope to return here after the end of the season.”

”Of course.”

Lin Feng extended his hand.

”You are welcome home anytime.”

The two shook hands tightly, and the warmth of that moment filled the entire office.

After resolving Porter’s issue, Lin Feng immediately turned his attention to the upcoming ”Christmas Fixture Congestion.”

Starting in December, the team would face multi-front battles in the League, FA Cup, EFL Trophy, and League Cup.

The schedule was incredibly dense, with a match every three days on average.

Lin Feng spread out a huge schedule chart in the tactical meeting room.

The dense list of match dates put pressure on everyone present.

”Gentlemen, the next month will be our biggest test of the season.”

Lin Feng pointed to the red markers on the schedule chart.

”We need to maintain our League lead while continuing to advance in the Cup competitions.”

Old John frowned, studying the schedule.

”Boss, this intensity of fixtures is a huge challenge for the players’ physical fitness.”

”That’s precisely my main point.”

Lin Feng drew three different squad frameworks on the whiteboard.

”From now on, we will implement a full squad rotation system.”

He divided the team’s more than 30 players into three sets of lineups: A, B, and C.

The A lineup, centered around key players like Vardy, Sigurdsson, and Henderson, would primarily handle crucial League matches.

The B lineup, led by experienced players such as Smalling, Maloney, and Snodgrass, would undertake most of the Cup duties.

The C lineup, consisting mainly of youth team players, would be used to develop new talent and face relatively weaker opponents.

”In the coming month, there will be no absolute starters and substitutes.”
