Chapter 732: A Game You Can't Afford to Lose
"Ron Gurley is such a rare talent!"
Florentino sat in the chairman's stand at the St. Mary's Stadium, looking at the frenzied football atmosphere at the scene, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion and admiration in his heart.
As a former Manchester United executive, Chelsea's chief operating officer and chief executive, Ron Gulley is no stranger to the inner circle of European football, on the contrary, almost everyone knows what he can do.
At least, under his stewardship, Manchester United and Chelsea, both in terms of stadium management and transfer negotiations, have been quite successful, and since his departure, the level of management of both teams has declined, especially Chelsea.
With Jose Mourinho's return to office this season and the team's poor results, Stamford Bridge attendance has been unsatisfactory, leaving many Blues fans with a nostalgic time for Peter Kenyon and Ron Gulley.
Yang Huan sat beside him, just smiling and silent, not even bothering to say kind words.
If Florentino had complimented him on anything else, he might have been modest, but when it comes to stadium management, there is nothing to be modest.
Just now, he also accompanied Florentino to the Glory Stadium, that is, the new stadium in Southampton, and visited it, which almost made the president of Real Madrid so shocked that he even lost his eyes.
Because according to the data given by Yang Huan, Southampton will now earn more than 300 million euros a year from the new stadium.
If you add the broadcast fee and sponsorship fee, it will exceed 500 million in an all-round way, and it is already ironclad to catch up with Real Madrid.
As for whether it can be surpassed, it will depend on whether Real Madrid's income this year can achieve a significant increase in revenue as Florentino expected.
But a new stadium brings in 300 million euros in revenue, which is quite an amazing achievement even in the United States.
But Southampton did just that!
And according to Yang Huan's plan, this is only the first step, with the maturity of the entire artificial island business circle, with the progress of Southampton's old city renovation project, it will gradually prosper, and with the operation and promotion of the Saints fan points system, Southampton's income will also rise.
