Chapter 40: Go Left, Go Right

Redknapp was very aggrieved, his goal was not achieved, but he accompanied this kid to talk about football. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's all a matter of attention from team managers, why do you care about this as a young player?

Is this salty and carrot lightly worried? No.

Because Redknapp didn't expect II to buy Oxford United, who were preparing to buy Oxford United. As soon as the team is successfully acquired, the head coach of the team is the first person to think about the problem and bear the brunt of the problem. Brian. Houghton was no longer a consideration for the second, and the first thing he did after buying Oxford United was to send him away amicably, as the trust between the two of them was already in question.

II was already thinking about the head coach of the team. But in this era, there are few coaches who can be remembered, and some of the coaches who are familiar to later generations are still playing, and some have no coaching experience at all, so it is better for McLaren to be the head coach.

But the big coaches, they don't necessarily want to deign to come to Oxford United, which is League One. You put Alex Ferguson in charge of Oxford United, what can you give him? The second chooses to choose to go, and only Wenger is still possible. The second knew that Wenger had gone to Japan to make money during this period, otherwise the second would not have dared to do so.

In fact, for Wenger's manager, the second thinks that Wenger's main force can still tap the Premier League coach of the little demon, but it is definitely not as good as the second in this regard. That said, Arsene Wenger is a good manager for Premier League teams. Arsene Wenger, as the head coach, has a gap between the two, especially for his ability to dig out demons and adjust them.

II remembered Harry. Redknapp, not because of Harry. Redknapp's earth-shattering ability in his coaching career is not Harry. How good Redknapp's coaching skills are, and how famous he is, attract him rather than invite him. In fact, in the beginning, the second did not notice Harry at all. Redknapp.

The first head coach identified by the second was not Lao Ray, but McLaren, but considering that McLaren was young and had no coaching experience, the second was a little worried.

Ni II thought of Ranieri and France's Arsene Wenger, who are still in Italy, but it will be difficult to invite them now, at least until the start of next season.

But how did Harry come to mind. What about Redknapp? It was only when the second was thinking about how to collect the English calves that he touched that memory and remembered old Ray.

In Oxford United's team planning, midfield is a top priority. When thinking of midfield, II thinks of England's midfield duo of later generations, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard. The second knew that Gerrard was in Liverpool, and the child of Anfield, the second, did not have the confidence to do it.

And now Frank. Frank Lampard may be able to do it, but he is now under 15 years old, and he does not fit into the scope of an occupational contract, and it is certainly not appropriate to go to him suddenly, and he will not be able to sign an occupational contract, and it is not in accordance with the British Workers Protection Act.

It is because of the thought of Frank. Lampard only remembered Harry. Redknapp's.

II remembers that Lampard's father, Frank Lampard Sr., was also a coach and was a relative and brother-in-law with Redknapp. The second wanted to drag two and pack the three away, and there was a shortage of assistant coaches for Oxford United.

Flipping through the newspaper materials, I found out that Harry. Redknapp and Frank Lampard's father, Frank. Richard. George. Frank Lampard is now an assistant coach at West Ham United United Frank Lampard Redknapp has been the head coach of Bournemouth for nearly ten years, although it is a low-level league, but it can be said that Redknapp still has a lot of experience in coaching the club, and the current level is only higher than McLaren.

Now when the II need the team's results, they don't dare to fully trust McLaren. There is a price to pay for a manager, and this is the English league, isn't Redknapp, who has been a coach for ten years, the most suitable candidate? II also vaguely remembers that Redknapp is also a relatively good coach in the Premier League, good at employing young people.

Now it just so happens that Lao Lei is sent to the door, and at this time, if you don't look at it, when will you wait, the second invites Lao Lei to drink and talk about football, which is for a purpose. Of course, II was not ready to do it now.

Actually, this dinner, Harry. Redknapp couldn't eat well, and he didn't know if it was really his taste system that was broken, or if he was in a frustrated mood.

After eating, Lao Lei once again invited II to join West Ham United, but II politely declined. But the second said ambiguously: "Old Lei, thank you for coming today, maybe we still have a chance to work together." ”

Harry. Redknapp left the II apartment building in confusion.

After Ray left, the second continued to ponder Oxford United and the English biomass recovery company, and really made a discovery. Oxford United Club in England Biomass Recycling Company is really a hot potato, a chicken rib.

Hot potato?

The Premier League has torn off the traditional cloak on football, and the pond of fish farming has really become a resort, and the concept of football has changed, not fish farming, but entertainment, and fish farming by the way.

With teams at all levels of the English league rejoicing and ambitious club owners investing, the strategic thinking that Oxford United owners had just begun to take over was out of place. The strategic goal of the English biomass recycling company is to stay in the first division, not to pay money, the team is self-sufficient, the football environment in the past, you do this, there is no big problem, promotion can't, relegation worry-free.

Now Oxford United is on this path, and the club doesn't have big ambitions, so I'm going to mess around. To cultivate some youth players, the player introduction policy is to buy low and sell high, just don't lose money. I'll stay at this level of League One, get some advertising money, and I'm doing well.

However, Oxford United can't do this now, why?

Not now, the environment has changed. Team sponsors have withdrawn, the team has no hope, new sponsors are reluctant to sponsor, this is not good for the reputation of their own business, that is, Oxford United has no advertising sponsorship revenue.

I have other pieces of loss, ticket income.

With the British government's "Taylor Report" limiting dates, the requirements for completing the stadium renovation in 1994 are getting closer and closer.

So now Oxford United not only does not get the stadium ticket income, but has to invest a lot of money to renovate the stadium, after the renovation of the stadium seats are reduced, and the income is not guaranteed.

In order to cope with the British government's "Taylor Report", it is better to renovate the stadium, and one or two million cash needs to be invested. Even though the number of seats in the stadium has been reduced by more than half, then I will more than double the price of the ticket. The number of fans who come to the stadium will definitely decrease, but less will be less, at least the team can guarantee a place in the first division.

But even this goal cannot be achieved by Oxford United.

In the current League One clubs, it is not one or two ambitious clubs to develop their own clubs after investing huge sums of money. If it's really just one or two or a few teams that are investing heavily in the Super League with the aim of promoting the Super League, that's not a big deal. Oxford United can still be a gangster in the first division, and they can sell low and high every year, and they can live a good life. But now the vast majority of league club teams have begun to invest wildly, and the second and third divisions have also begun to eyeing the club owners with investment.

Oxford United FC is now a wolf and a tiger, and the team may be relegated if they are not careful.

Once Oxford United is downgraded, then the value of Oxford United is simply more than a discount, so it took over Oxford United but spent real money, and lost, how can the company's managers explain to those shareholders?

Biomass Recycling England is a new club member of Oxford United and has just turned a year. Now the ownership of the Oxford United club team is yours, and the debt of the Oxford United club team is yours, and whether Oxford United is dead or alive is the business of your English biomass recycling company.

The Oxford United team has become a hot potato for the English biomass recycling company, and it is impossible to eat it alive.

It's not that the English Biomass Recycling Company has not thought about investing in Oxford United, mustering up ambitions, and taking a gamble, but after these Oxford United management senior analysis, Oxford United Club is a chicken rib.

Oxford United is now following the example of those ambitious clubs, investing huge sums of money to improve the treatment of the team's players, enhance the attractiveness of the team, and start to introduce players with a high level of competition, so that the club has the soft power to upgrade the Super League. If you grit your teeth, you can still afford this money.

However, when the house leaks and rains, the stadium problem will bear the brunt, which cannot be solved by millions, and the investment risk is too great. As soon as Oxford United Club invests in the construction of a new stadium, whether the team's results have kept up, it will be a chicken and egg fight. And the construction of this stadium is really not a year or two can pay off, ten years, twenty years, which commercial company is willing to wait, willing to invest? Also, the normal income of a football club is so much, there is no high return, and commercial companies are unwilling to spend a lot of money to enter this big pit, and if they are planted in it, they will not be able to get up.

Under the great changes in the football environment in England, at this time, Oxford United Club is choosing, is it to go left and right?

But sadly, Oxford United has two difficult paths, and neither can be walked.

If you don't invest, you may be downgraded, so you will jump off the building at a loss. Investment, it is more likely that the chicken will fly and the egg will be beaten, and the capital will be lost.

Oxford United are now a hot potato and chicken rib in the hands of the English biomass recycling company, and they also feel that taking over Oxford United has made a mistake.

But a commercial company is a commercial company, and they went the third way.

Oxford United Club owner Biomass Recycling England has embarked on a third path. Taking advantage of the fact that Oxford United is still in the first division, not relegated, and the value of the team has not shrunk much, the club team is sold quickly to reduce unnecessary risks.

Support the bold, starve the cowardly, in the face of opportunities, everyone is equal. Before the fork in the road, whether you choose to go right or left, no one will help you decide. If you succeed, your friends and friends will cheer for you, and one person will attain the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven. If you fail, that's your business alone, only your parents and family will comfort you, cry for you, and leave you something to eat.

As a result, the owner of Oxford United, the English Biomass Recycling Company, began to decide to sell the team everywhere, and the face was gone.
