Chapter VI Financial difficulties

"Our focus is on Toldo and Pexoto, we have to be fast, there should be a lot of people eyeing them at this point. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "For these two people, Chen Lin can be said to be determined to win, in the computer that fell from the sky, Toldo's potential value is as high as 182, you know, the players who can go to 180 are evaluated in the game are "world superstars", for this Chen Lin specially looked for information about Toldo on the computer, and sure enough, his eyes were blinded, and he became famous in the 2000 European Cup, known as the "magical Toldo", almost he single-handedly lifted Italy into the final finals, At 196 centimeters tall, he not only has excellent air defense, but also has extremely agile reflexes, and in the semi-finals of Euro 2000, Toldo saved three penalties in one go, almost becoming a nightmare for the Dutch team. A good goalkeeper is half the size of the team, Prato is now only a fourth-tier team, and the chances of getting a world-class superstar are very rare.

Although Pesoto is not as highly rated as Toldo, he is also an Italian international, and more importantly, Chen Lin carefully studied the player information for the next ten years, and found that excellent left-backs are the most lacking, and this alone also made Chen Lin determined to pursue Pesoto.

Judging from the resumes of the players recorded in the computer, although these two are still in the fourth-level club, they will be favored by high-level teams next season, and then step by step to join the Serie A giants, so the opportunity to win them is only this time, Chen Lin has no confidence to fight with those Serie A giants.

Chen Lin looked at head coach Tsoko and goalkeeper coach Pugli, who is also the chief scout: "Contact Trento and Varese as soon as possible and make an offer to them." Then Chen Lin's offer scared the two of them.

"Toldo, 40 million lira (£20,000)"

"Pesotho, 24 million lira (£12,000)"

Such an offer is almost more than double their estimated value, you must know that at this time, most of the player transactions of Italian fourth-tier clubs are multi-million lire transactions, but Chen Lin has pulled them up a lot.

"It's decided!" Chen Lin was a rare cadre who was arbitrary, and although Cuoke's face was a little ugly, he endured it and didn't speak. In Italian clubs, the trading of players and the functions of the coach are separated, and the introduction of players is the business of the club management, who is only responsible for the game and training, although most of the management will take into account the opinion of the coach.

That's right, Chen Lin's idea was to open the way with a check. Due to their excellent performances last season, Toldo and Pesoto must have a number of teams on their radar, including Serie B and C, and Chen Lin's only advantage is knowing their true value.

In the player record of FM2032, Toldo finally moved to Ravenna in C1 next season for 22 million lira, while Pesoto was eyed by Bologna in Serie B for 14 million lira.

Looking at it this way, Chen Lin is undoubtedly very wronged, but he clearly knows that a few years later, in the transaction of Toldo's transfer from Fiorentina to Inter Milan, Inter Milan's final bid was 26 million pounds, which was more than a thousand times more valuable. So even if it is twice as much now, Chen Lin will not hesitate.

"What about this Cristiano. What about Dhoni? Even if Modena is relegated this season, it is also a C1 team, and he may not be willing to leave Modena, right? Pugli, who is temporarily acting as the number one scout, questioned.

'The fact that Doni is not at all used in Modena and he would be willing to try it in the lower leagues.' What Chen Lin did not say is that because he did not have the opportunity to play a game in Modena, Doni, who later grew into an Italian international, took the initiative to transfer to the same level as Prato Rimini next season, so Chen Lin was confident to sign him.

Doni has excellent offensive ability, is a shadow killer in the midfield, and even more rare is that he also has good frontcourt organizational skills, which can be described as a versatile player in the frontcourt, but perhaps it is also because of his comprehensiveness that he is a bit of a late bloomer. It was not until the age of 28 that he became famous and joined the Italian national team, a pearl buried in the sand.

As for the remaining Materazzi and Gianni Keda, there is nothing to say, they are also Italian internationals and quasi-internationals. Both are extremely tough defensive players, especially Materazzi, if he hadn't played his villain nature and "killed" Zidane in the 06 World Cup Finals, Italy would not have been so easy to win the fourth World Cup title.

After arranging everything, Chen Lin left the conference room. The transfer will be handled by Pugle, and as for the lack of manpower he complained about, Chen Lin has promised to recruit a few staff members to help him in the near future. It's just that this is another expense, Chen Lin sighed in his heart, he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are if he doesn't belong to his family, and now the club has to spend money everywhere, but there is no income, just like a river without a source, there will always be a day when it dries up.

After walking into his office, Chen Lin turned on the fluorescent lamp, the orientation of the small building is not very good, so the lighting is very poor, making the daytime and night, and he can only have a rough view of the indoor situation.

When the fluorescent lights were turned on, the room suddenly lit up, and when he got used to the light, everything in the office began to appear in front of him.

Directly facing the door of the room was a huge dark red boss's desk, the mottled table top looked very historical, but it brought Chen Lin a sense of insecurity, he didn't know if the table would suddenly collapse if he slept on the table.

There was a telephone, a pen holder, and a few books on the table, which appeared empty, and behind the table was a large swivel chair, and next to it were two bookcases filled with books. These are all furniture from the original club, and he moved them all in order to save money.

Just as Chen Lin was in a daze, there was a knock on the door, and Miss Ella walked in with a large stack of materials.

"This is the club's financial statement...... Here is the list of staff that the club plans to recruit in the near future...... Here's the list of the club's first-team players...... Here are the details of the youth team...... "Miss Ella is obviously a very responsible secretary, and it only took a short time to clear out the details.

"Okay, you go about your own business, I'll call you if there's any problem." Chen Lin nodded at Ella.

Looking at the large stack of information in front of him, Chen Lin thought about it, and did not take the list of players and staff first, but picked up the club's financial statements.

I didn't know before, I didn't know that the operation of a club is a very complicated thing, and Chen Lin also worked hard to learn relevant knowledge during this time. As far as the club's finances are concerned, they are mainly divided into two parts: income and expenditure. The income can be divided into four parts, TV broadcast revenue and event bonuses, ticket revenue, advertising endorsement and sponsorship fees, and player sales income.

For the Prato club, the income from TV broadcasts, advertising endorsements, and the sale of players is basically negligible, and no one will pay to broadcast a fourth-tier league, and it is difficult to attract advertising endorsements with Prato's fame, as for the sale of players, Prato has not produced any talented players for a long time. Fortunately, the football atmosphere here is very strong, and although Prato has not achieved any decent results, his more than 80 years of history has cultivated a large number of die-hard fans for him, and the attendance rate of Prato's home stadium at the Rumbisenzio Stadium is more than 70% every season, which is already a very rare thing for a small club.

But with just over 6,000 seats at the Stadio Rumbisenzio and a very low ticket price in the fourth tier, this humble income is a drop in the bucket compared to the club's expenses.

The club's expenses can be roughly divided into three parts, the cost of purchasing players, the salaries of players and staff, and the cost of maintaining the club's operations, such as venue rental, league deposit, equipment maintenance, etc. Chen Lin's family is about 300,000 pounds, and he spent 50,000 pounds on the Prato Club, and then spent almost 10,000 pounds on the remuneration of the law firm, the rent of renting the office building, recruiting people, and buying office supplies. There are only 240,000 pounds left, and then they are faced with the payment of 20,000 pounds in the league guarantee, as well as the expenditure of buying players, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be 5-60,000 pounds to sign Toldo, Pesoto, Doni and others, in this case, it is necessary to maintain the club's personnel salary expenses for a year, Chen Lin couldn't help frowning deeply, it seems that he has to find a way......
