Looking at the financial statements in his hand, Chen Lin felt like he was taking too big a step and pulling eggs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the 92/93 season, Prato's home ticket revenue (including the league and the Coppa Italia) reached 400,000 pounds, and due to the unexpected popularity of Chinese fans, merchandise also sold unexpectedly hot, and in Prato City alone, the team's jerseys were sold tens of thousands, almost one for all Chinese men in Prato. In the specialty store, Prato's jerseys are generally sold for 14,000 lira to 20,000 lira (about 7~10 pounds) according to the manufacturer, deducting the cost and the money distributed to the dealers, the Prato jersey alone earns nearly 40,000 pounds, plus sneakers, wristbands, posters, star stickers, keychains with team logos and other goods, Prato's income from this part is as high as 80,000 pounds.

In other aspects, the advertising revenue of the back of the team's jersey is 10,000 pounds, the stadium billboard is 10,000 pounds, and the Jianlibao Group sponsors 200,000 pounds. Combined with the £800,000 in gambling income and £400,000 in the club's mortgage, Prato has as much as £190 available this season.

Comparable to expenditures, this amount of money is completely barely supported. £50,000 for the Prato club, £10,000 for the Stadio Vicentio and the Ventino training base (£1,200 for the Stadio Vicentio, £9,000 for two football turf, a baseball turf and a rugby turf for the entire Vantino Oriental), and £20,000 for maintenance and refurbishment.

The bulk is the player's transfer funds, including: Toldo 50,000 pounds, Pesotho 30,000 pounds, Doni 40,000 pounds, Gianni Kaida 10,000 pounds, Veron 50,000 pounds, Fan Zhiyi 80,000 pounds, Ma Minyu 80,000 pounds, Vieri loan fee 8,000 pounds, transfer fee 200,000 pounds, a total of 550,000 pounds.

Then there is the salary of the player and the salary of the staff, in the football circle, in addition to the rookie contract, the player's salary standard is generally 10% ~ 15% of the amount of his transfer fee, of course, some special big-name transactions are exceptional, the transfer value itself is mixed with many other interests in it, and the transfer price is not necessarily accurate.

Among the 23 players in Prato's first team this season, Vieri has the highest annual salary of £30,000 (Prato bears half a season, a total of £15,000), followed by Fan Zhiyi and Ma Minyu £8,000 (also a half-season), Tordo and Veron £7,000, Doni £6,500, Pexotto £4,500, Pitini and Corvesi £4,000, defensive midfielder Padella £3,200 and Yang Chen £3,000. Gianni Keda and Materazzi 1,500 pounds, and other substitutes are also ranging from 1,000 pounds to 2,500 pounds, a total of 83,500 pounds, plus a subsidy of 200~400 pounds per person per year for youth team players, Prato's basic salary expenditure for players this season exceeded 100,000 pounds, plus the team qualified as the first place and broke into the round of 16 in the Coppa Italia, the club also made a lot of blood for this, paying players nearly 20,000 pounds in bonuses.

The salary of a club's staff is about 1/3 to half of the total salary of the player, and Prato has hired a team of nutritionists, three sports medicine specialists, five professional training coaches in various fields and more than a dozen club staff this season, and the total salary of the staff is close to half of the player's salary, reaching 50,000 pounds.

The other is some miscellaneous expenses, such as: away games cost 20,000 pounds, players spend 10,000 pounds on accommodation, youth team games cost 10,000 pounds, the wear and tear of training equipment and some simple fitness, medical equipment purchase also cost 20,000 pounds, and the bulk of the cost is the players' daily training meals, due to the focus on nutrition, players of different ages and physical conditions are different, this expenditure alone is close to 100,000 pounds. On top of that, the club paid a tax of £20,000 (before Berlusconi's Tax Law No. 80 was announced in 2004, Italy's personal income tax rate was very low, so it was a paradise for players from all over the world to pan for gold, until the tax reform in 2005 officially implemented the new tax law, it became the country with the highest tax rate in the five major leagues, and stars from all over the world fled Italy. These miscellaneous expenses add up to £180,000.

Add to this the £800,000 spent on the purchase and renovation of the club's new building, and the £90,000 loan to be repaid to the bank in the first year, bringing the total expenditure to £1.87 million.

Next season, without Chen Lin's capital investment, but there are a lot of items to spend, the building is not to buy, but the Bisenchio Stadium is so dilapidated that it can no longer meet the needs of Prato, repair is necessary, Chen Lin hopes to rebuild and add some seats. Of course, after the team is promoted to C1, there will be a significant increase in home earnings, but at the same time, the wages of players have also increased significantly, according to the contract, the team will double the wages of players after being promoted to C1, and players with obvious underwages such as Materazzi will definitely have to re-sign their contracts. In order for the team to develop, it also needs to hire more high-level coaches and purchase more advanced training and fitness equipment, which cost money.

Not to mention anything else, the league guarantee of 80 million lira (about 40,000 pounds) in the Bingyi League alone and the loan of more than 20,000 pounds next quarter are enough for Chen Lin to worry about his nerves.

But after letting Gianney Keda go, who will take his place? Tomasi? Verona, who was still in Serie B at this time, obviously would not look at Prato, a third-division team; Gattuso? It's only 15 years old this year, which is also unrealistic...... One name flashed through Chen Lin's mind.

Although he was not reconciled, he was already inclined to agree to the deal, and although 450,000 pounds was completely unworthy of Gianni Qaeda's future value, it was a bail out of Prato's financial predicament. And the Udinese team bit the price very hard this time, obviously they investigated Chen Lin's net worth through some means, and after a simple understanding, it can be calculated that Prato's current financial situation is not optimistic.

Gianni Keda's resolute attitude, the psychological vacillation of the players within the team, and the club's financial constraints all forced Chen Lin. At this time, another news came, someone saw members of the Juventus coaching staff on the scene to watch the Prato team's game.

It seems that Juventus also have their eye on the players of Prato, a foxier than the Udinese team, and Mogi's black hand can simply stop the cry in the eyes of the managers of small and medium-sized clubs in Serie A. But Chen Lin knew in his heart who Juventus had a crush on.

After Trapattoni returned to Juventus to coach, Juve grew rapidly again, with several famous players such as Casiracchi, Vialli, and Ravanelli on the forward line, and the midfield was full of talent. Baggio, Dino. Baggio, Muller, Conte, David. Pratt, Trapattoni has a headache of who to send as a substitute, and at the back, there is Torricelli at right back and Jurgen at central back. Coral and Massimo. Carrera, all three of them are at national team level, only left-back Chiara is not reassuring.

Historically, Juventus bought Genoa's wing talent Andre this summer. Fortunato, but now they clearly have a new option.

Sure enough, a few days later, the news came that Juventus staff had contacted Pesotho privately. On the same day, Chen Lin locked himself in the office alone, cigarette after cigarette, and no one answered the phone. Yesterday it was Gianni Luca, today it was Pesoto, tomorrow it could be Toldo, Vieri, Veron, Prato's already formed team will be torn apart, but he is only the owner of a third-division team, what is his ability to wrestle with those giants in Serie A? It is believed that as long as those Serie A teams let out their words, at least half of Prato's players will defect.

At this time, he remembered what his grandfather said to him when he was alive in the countryside: "Son, when you owe money to others, you must not be stingy, that will only make your creditors chase you to the door to ask for debts, but you spend money lavishly, and those people may lend you more money." ”

In the darkness, I only saw the bright light of cigarette butts, but at this time, Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
