At the end of May, the Champions League final also came to an end, and Guardiola finally won the Champions League and had the capital to compete with the country.

The famous coaches in the world have basically grown up, and there will be more and more coaches who challenge the country. Pep Guardiola and Mourinho both have Champions League titles in their hands and are full of confidence, and Mourinho joined Inter Milan to become the new league champion, and next season, he will also aim for the Champions League.

As time went on, West Ham fans came up and put pressure on the team to sell Goodmandson quickly.

Negotiations were moving into the city at an accelerated pace, and a week later, the two sides finalized the contract. Goodman and Freegelson agreed to transfer all of their shares to Jiangshan.

The price is about the same as in the previous life, and the two urgently needed a large amount of money, so they could only sell it at a reduced price, 85 million pounds, nearly 60% of the shares, all of which changed hands.

They may not know that in a few years, the broadcast fee of the Premier League will skyrocket, and even the relegated team can get a bonus of 100 million pounds in broadcast shares, and the Premier League is the best profitable league.

It's a pity that their funds can't be turned over and can't bear it, so selling the team and keeping other industries is the best choice. Jiangshan knows that in the next few years, after the broadcast fee increases, the purchasing power of the Premier League team will increase, the gap between the teams will be narrowed, the difficulty of winning the championship will be greatly increased, and the price of buying people from abroad will also increase rapidly.

Everyone knows that you are a demolition household, who will you knock if you don't knock?

By June 8, all the contracts were signed, and Jiangshan's JS investment company would become the team's largest shareholder, controlling more than 90% of the shares, and Jiangshan's position in West Ham was unmatched.

Of course, the money that Jiang Shan took out was all bank funds leveraged through leverage, and the liabilities were directly transferred to West Ham United, which was unimaginable to West Ham fans.

"Our operation is similar to how the Glazer bought Manchester United, you spent almost 50 million pounds before and after buying the team, and now you own more than 99% of the team, congratulations!" Woodward automatically counted all his own shares.

Jiang Shan smiled bitterly, "Who knew it would be so expensive to buy a team?" But you're doing a great job. Next season you may not get much dividends, and in a few years, you'll be waiting to get rich. ”

"Also, on the side of the fans, hurry up and make a statement. We will invest £100 million to improve the facilities of the squad and buy more quality players. Jiang Shan thought for a while, "Also, we have plans to expand the stadium within 5 years." ”

After the change of ownership, combined with the small amount of debt in the early stage, the total debt has exceeded 200 million pounds. West Ham is not Manchester United, Manchester United can operate with a debt of 100 million, and West Ham has a debt of more than 200 million pounds, and fans will be scared.

"What's next, do we move on to player sourcing?"

"Almost, but for now, I have to reassure people." Jiang Shan was not in a hurry, looking at the team's lineup list.

The manager is Zola, a Chelsea legend, who was able to lead the team to a top-10 finish last season, and he has done his best, considering the team's excessive stability. Jiang Shan intends to give him another year to continue coaching.

In terms of players, Tevez and Mascherano have left, otherwise the team would have been stronger.

two England goalkeepers, Green and James Walker; The back-up group is also standard for mid-table teams, with England's Matthew Upson also captaining the team. Radoslav Kovac of the Czech Republic, Lucas Neil of Australia, Herita Ilunga of the Congo, Danny Gabiton of Wales, and Walter Lopez of Argentina are mostly unknown and have a worrying future.

The midfield is quite strong, Scott Parker, an English midfielder that Jiangshan admires, as well as Keelon Dyer, Mark Nob, Tony Stokes, only Parker can enter the England national team, plus Switzerland's Wallon Behrami, the midfield is not weak.

In the forward position, there are Spain's Diego Tristan, Carlton Cole, Ashton, Zamora and others.

To put it simply, to reach the Champions League next season, you need to strengthen on all three lines. Otherwise, with such a lineup, Jiangshan can only lead the team to the Champions League at most, and only keep the league line, and don't even think about the rest.

Buying people? Is the money enough?

Jiang Shan prepared 100 million pounds, and the funds spent to buy the team were 50 million pounds, and he planned to spend another 50 million pounds on the cost of buying players with bank loans.

Improving the team's infrastructure, building a new rehabilitation centre, strengthening the academy, strengthening the commercial development sector and other departments all need to get money from elsewhere, and the starting point is a problem. Therefore, Jiang Shan has no time to be a head coach at all.

"Mr. Woodward, you don't have a break this summer." Jiang Shan pulled out his cigar and handed it to Woodward and Walker, "We're going to be very busy." ”

"I don't have a lot of experience in buying and selling players, but I'll be able to get started soon." Woodward became the team's new CEO, full of energy, and Jiangshan also gave him a small stake in the CEO as usual, and while receiving the salary, the team made money, and he could also get dividends.

"This summer, I'll do it myself, and Walker will do it with me. Your mission is to pull sponsors, we are short of money! Jiang Shan laughed, especially treacherous, he knew that Woodwarddra's ability to sponsor must depend on him to make money.

"In the past two years, the team's results have not surfaced, and the commercial value is still a little worse. In this way, we sign a contract for a shorter period of time, and when the team comes out, we will increase the contract. ”

"Don't worry, I have experience in this area, I will add a buyout clause to each contract, if the time is not right, we will buy it out." Woodward is full of confidence, and when he was at Manchester United, he had a lot of experience in buying out sponsorship contracts.

Jiang Shan looked down on the team's jersey naming company last season, an air travel company in England, which caused West Ham players to wear the "XL" logo on their chests, which is on par with Manchester United's Chevrolet logo, which is too ugly.

Can you have confidence in playing with such an ugly sign? Thankfully, the company recently went out of business...... West Ham don't have a shirt namer right now, and he has the impression that Avery will become West Ham's shirt namer, with a big "Alpari" on his chest, which is also hard to see. There was even a "FX" logo later, why are they all all the way?

Jiang Shan gave Woodward the task, "This summer, we have to spend more than £10 million in sponsorship total, can we do it?" Of course, I will also help, many companies in Huaxia want to advertise, we can tap this market. ”

Jiangshan's entry into West Ham has set off a huge wave in China, belonging to the Chinese team, and is a star coach, it is conceivable that next season, countless Chinese people will watch West Ham play.

This is a huge business opportunity, and the enterprises of Huaxia will definitely not miss it. A sponsorship of £10 million is not difficult for Woodward, with a chest sponsor of at least around £5 million, and the others will definitely add up to more than £5 million.

Of course, the naming rights of Upton Park are not going to be sold now, and the hearts of the fans have not yet stabilized, so they cannot stimulate their nerves.
