Chapter 51: Pre-Season Preparation
"If it's not worth it, find a way to lend it to me." Throwing down a sentence that was not nutritious and the financial manager who was sitting there frowning, Lao Liu walked out of the office door......
After a busy day, with Tommy's help, Lao Liu quickly adjusted his budget plan for the season:
In terms of expenses: wages and operating expenses increased to £4 million, transfer budget £1 million, bank loan interest of £300,000 and winning bonuses of £2 million, totalling £7.4 million, double last season.
In terms of income: the sponsorship expenses are expected to be 3 million pounds, the FA share is 1 million pounds, the transfer income is expected to be 1 million pounds, the season ticket and merchandise income is 2 million pounds, the bank loan is 3 million pounds, a total of 10 million pounds, after deducting expenses, there are 2.7 million pounds left on the books, in other words, even if you don't take out a loan from the bank, it is not a big problem to support this season, but the result will be the same as an empty pocket at the end of this season. And not just by sponsorship costs.
As for the use of this money, Lao Liu basically knows it in his heart.
The following things are clear: Sara is in charge of the bank loans, at least three million pounds, the target is four million pounds, and if there is a problem, Sir Forance can clear the link;
Maori is responsible for the transfer, and Wang Dona cooperates, mainly on the premise of not investing separately, using the transfer income of the existing personnel to buy players who are more suitable for League One, because there are five people from Manchester City, so they can go out more and enter less.
Tommy is responsible for contacting Chen Xian, last season's merchandise income has been initially formed, but in order for Chen Xian to be able to explain to the bank, Lao Liu basically gave him all the profits, this season while continuing to expand sales, to strictly distribute profits, two fan supplies stores to open before the previous season.
As for the sponsorship, Lao Liu is personally responsible, on the basis of the original sponsors to appropriately increase the amount of sponsorship, to discover one or two new first-level sponsors, so that this year's sponsorship costs can be twice as much as last year......
The team successfully completed the last two games, began the holiday, in addition to the carnival after being promoted to the first division, the mentality of some players is a little complicated, basically all the teams will carry out a large-scale blood change after promotion, in order to ensure that they are not brought back next season, and Willingham's goal is to directly target the Championship, so many players are thinking about their future, especially those players who have not played much in the past two seasons before Lao Liu arrived in the team, and some people are ready to leave the players and leave London, but the specific action is still unclear, so I can only spend this holiday with a lot of thoughts......
Two weeks later, all work has made further progress, with both joys and sorrows:
Sarah has visited almost all the banks in London that have opened commercial loans to football clubs, and none of them have agreed to lend more than two million pounds, and there are conditions attached, not only do the clubs have to use some of their shares as collateral, but the banks also have to send people to the club's board of directors to participate in the decision-making of major issues.
"Damn, do they dare to do that to Manchester United and Chelsea?" Lao Liu scolded the bank in front of Sarah, but this could not solve any problems, and the loan matter was temporarily put on hold in the first place.
Maori is quite smooth on the side, because it is an early promotion, many players in the team have become League Two teams, and relegated personnel have been poached a lot of popular objects of the original League One team, considering the problem of position, Maori put forward the intention of five quasi-candidates, in addition to the young players Tony and Klinson, who are priced at 100,000 pounds each, the defender Brisson in the central lineup, midfielder Tainno and striker Langton have the team to pay a high price to pursue, Tainol's selection made Lao Liu depressed, However, considering that Helder and Morlens have been fully able to take his place, and he himself has expressed a lack of confidence in the fierce competition in League One, so in the end Lao Liu agreed to his transfer, and these five people were able to raise a total of 1.2 million pounds in transfer funds, which is 200,000 more than Lao Liu's plan.
"Helder's current market price is 10 million pounds, and he alone can already sell half of our team, so you must not sell it."
"Nonsense, by the way, what is the market price of Morrens and Patterson now?"
"One and a half million pounds for Morrens, two million pounds for Patterson."
"Forget it, let's get to the Championship."
After selling five players and bringing in five new players from Manchester City, the team now needs to focus on the position of the backline and defensive midfielder.
Chen Xian promised Lao Liu through Maoli that he would ensure that the club would get more than 1 million in the new season, plus 600,000 pounds of tickets, this goal is not difficult to achieve.
At this stage, the negotiation of the most critical sponsors has also achieved good results, Kingsd not only transferred players such as Morens as part of the sponsorship to official players of Wellingham according to the agreement, but also extended the sponsorship period for five years at a time, 1.5 million pounds per year, 3 million pounds after being promoted to the Championship, and a high 5 million pounds after the Premier League, and several other small sponsoring companies have also renewed their sponsorship agreements, and the sponsorship fee has increased from 50,000 to 150,000, plus the sponsorship of Xinhua Sports News, Lao Liu also introduced a British sports function drink company that wanted to open the northern market of Dun, and signed a sponsorship agreement of 500,000 pounds a year, and the plan of 3 million was easily realized......
Now the most important thing is the bank loan, Lao Liu's club's new project of self-hematopoiesis has been almost prepared, but the bank loan has not been implemented for a long time, and in the face of the threat of losing this opportunity, Lao Liu himself has no choice but to find Jazz to see if he can find some solutions.
Forence seemed to be completely immersed in the joy of the club's upgrade, pulling Lao Liu to talk about the glory of the previous club, and the conversation was endless, Lao Liu was embarrassed to interrupt, an hour later, when Lao Liu finally pulled the topic to the bank's loan, the fat Follens suddenly stopped talking.
After a while, Forrens said something that Lao Liu didn't expect, "I...... I want to transfer my shares, and I hope you can understand my difficulties. ”
Transfer, this time?
