Chapter 791 Passionate Home Field
At this time, the football club actually fell into a kind of strange circle, and if the club wanted to increase its income, it had to spend a lot of money to attract stars. However, there are only a few income channels for the club.
On the one hand, the TV stations are making a lot of money, and on the other hand, the football associations at all levels cling to their rights, and the clubs have no say in the issue of TV broadcast fees that are closely related to the club.
As a result, in all of Europe, except for a few football clubs like Real Madrid, almost all other clubs are operating in debt, and they have to invest like a bottomless pit every year. So what to do? It is necessary to constantly subsidize those who "love the club", and the president of the club is called it.
However, smart people often have it, but it is not often that there are big wronged heads, and after so many years, those stupid big heads have been wiped out. So the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. With the reputation of the club, he kept taking loans from the bank, and the bank did not dare to collect the debt anyway, otherwise he would be waiting for a group of fans to block the bank door!
So in the 90s, this debt hole has reached a thrilling level. Banks are certainly afraid to lend money anymore, and many clubs are no longer viable. In order to solve this problem, European countries have introduced the "Fiscal Balance Act", and finally many clubs have been restructured into a joint-stock system, and the club's arrears have also been given very favorable terms, stipulating that they must be repaid. For example, the Lazio club in Italy, they owe more than 100 million euros in taxes and loans to the government and banks, and the interest is counted, and the principal can be repaid in 22 years.
But even so, there are still a large number of clubs that go bankrupt and fall into amateur leagues or simply disappear.
The reason for introducing this is to introduce the background of the emergence of the top leagues and champions leagues in various countries. To be honest, if it is not fully commercialized, the leagues in European countries really can't hold on.
But Jing Jian wants more than that, he needs to go further: "Pixar, what do you want the club to be? ”
"Of course it's a great club, a big club like Liverpool. And I'm going to be the greatest manager in the club. Glancing at Jing Jian, Pixar was a little embarrassed, "Of course, sir, you will also be the greatest president of the club." ”
"Huh. Jing Jian laughed, "This is a good goal, and I also want Portsmouth to become the club of the century." But Pixar, have you ever thought about it? If you and I are gone, how will the club survive?"
“……”
Seeing Pixar frowning slightly, Jing Jian smiled and said his thoughts: "You and I will work together to lay a good foundation for the club for a hundred years." The software and hardware construction, the stadium is like this, the training base is like this, the following academy camp, medical center, scouting system and so on, etc., all like this. But is that enough? For the club to remain competitive in the long term, it needs to have its own hematopoietic function. ”
"Hematopoietic?" Pixar asked, confused.
"Yes, it's about breaking even as much as possible. The two of them got into the car and drove towards the old stadium, ready to watch today's game, "Pixar, I don't know if you noticed? I'm very patient and don't seem to have much to ask for the club's results?"
Pixar thought for a moment and smiled: "That's true, we used to guess that we thought you were tolerant." ”
"Hehe, no matter how tolerant you are, the requirements for your team are always champions. Jing Jian smiled, "Because what I want is the Century Club, and I don't care about the results in the first few years." In the past few years, it is to lay the foundation, and in the following years, it is to build a championship team. When everything was ready, my thirst for the championship was endless. Pixar, don't complain that I'm a harsh boss?"
"Hahaha. ”
……
Today's league is a battle for the top two, and the media has already hyped up the game, and the game has been set to be a national broadcast event.
And Portsmouth's Devils' home stadium has already been full, although it is only a warm-up for the players of both sides, but the fans have already begun to sing the relay.
The TV camera swept over the audience, and suddenly, the camera turned back to the face of a Chinese man with sunglasses. A well-known football supporter who broadcasts League One exclaimed: "God, who is this? If there is anyone who doesn't know this gentleman, let me introduce you, he is the chairman of Portsmouth FC Bramble. ”
At the same time, a close-up of Jing Jian also appeared on the big screen of the stadium. Amid the enthusiastic exclamations of the live announcers, the Portsmouth fans let out a deafening cheer, and it didn't take long for the "famous song" to be sung: "...... We're just fucking rich! rich! rich......"
The sudden situation has baffled the players and fans of the away team Manchester United. The assistant manager of Manchester United, who was accompanying him in a box, smiled politely at Jing Jian: "Mr. President, you seem to be very popular with the fans. ”
"Thank you!"
In the enthusiastic cheers, Jing Jian stood in front of the box and waved to the fans. Suddenly, he saw the old red-nosed Scottish man in the away team's dugout, and he was also confused by the sudden cheers.
So Jing Jian said to the deputy manager: "Today must be a wonderful game. ”
"As it should be. "Mr. President, the President and the Board of Directors of our club are very interested in your plans and hope that you will make more constructive suggestions and that you will come to Old Trafford as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you very much. Jing Jian glanced at the deputy manager, "I also hope that a wealthy family will have the mind of a wealthy family, and it is very ungentlemanly to play with his heart all the time." ”
"Ahem. The assistant manager was choked half to death by Jing Jian. In fact, Jing Jian's plans for the Premier League and Champions League, giants like Manchester United will definitely welcome it.
However, so far, they have all remained silent, and none of them have publicly expressed support for Jing Jian. Obviously, these giants are all using Jing Jian as a gunman, anyway, the final benefit must be for all the giants.
However, on an occasion like today, Jing Jian will not be excessive, at most, it will be to the point. Anyway, this assistant manager can't be the master, and his rights at Manchester United are not even as good as the rosacea old man at the bottom.
……
Before you know it, it's time for the game to begin. Amid the cheers of the audience, the referee blew the opening whistle......
