Wan Sheng brought Manchester City more than just a title, what else? Football Newspaper analysed the issue in terms of the market value of Manchester City's assets.

Before Wan Sheng became the manager of Manchester City, Manchester City Club was still in the midst of storms.

Manchester City is a large club, there has been a glorious history, but in recent years the results have not been good, after 2000, Manchester City through two consecutive promotions, before returning to the Premier League, in 2002, Manchester City was promoted to the Premier League, the team's results are also erratic, so the famous Kevin Keegan can only resign.

In the process, Manchester City's operation has been greatly affected, and the debt of more than 70 million pounds has become the biggest obstacle to the club's development.

At this time, Manchester City Club had a debt of more than 70 million pounds, including players, including the stadium and peripherals, all of which added up to a market value of only about 150 million pounds.

After Wan Sheng became the club's manager, Manchester City's results skyrocketed.

Manchester City won the league title last season and are likely to defend their league title this season, while City have been in good form in Europe and made it to the quarter-finals, which has been a big boon for the club.

It has taken almost two years for Manchester City to pay off more than £40 million in debt.

In the summer, Manchester City Club will get a share of the Champions League and TV broadcasts, so Manchester City Club can make a profit of more than 20 million pounds after paying off the remaining debts of about 30 million pounds, coupled with the development of Manchester City Club in the past two years, the fame of some stars in the team has risen sharply, and the value has also risen a lot, and now the market value of Manchester City Club is estimated to be at least more than 250 million pounds.

"From a debt of more than 70 million in the previous year, to a net income of more than 20 million now, even if you don't count the value of the players in the team who have risen sharply due to their outstanding performance, Wansheng has been coaching for two years. It has doubled the market value of Manchester City FC! ”

"Manchester City have become the fastest growing club in Europe, there is no one!"

After the publication of the article in the "Football Newspaper", many media and fans were surprised by the value created by Wansheng, some time ago it was rumored that Wansheng held the Tagore Wan Group Company, whose assets have reached hundreds of millions of dollars, but after all, it is an investment, not football, and the fans have little to do with it, and it is not his main job, and now I see this report. The feeling of the fans is very real, Wansheng has led the team for two years, including the increase in the value of players, etc., and has brought a total of at least more than 100 million pounds to Manchester City Club.

In this way, Wansheng's salary high point is nothing at all.

As the London Financial News put it, "Wan Sheng's annual salary before tax is almost £7 million, but he has generated more than £100 million in two years for Manchester City, plus some players in the team have performed well." The value has risen sharply, and in one year he has created more than ten times the salary of Manchester City Club! ”

"It's understandable why Manchester City FC is willing to pay the 'highest salary' in the world's coaching industry."

Many media and fans were surprised by these figures, and at the same time, many clubs were thinking. In fact, if you really think about it, Wansheng's salary is only equivalent to a superstar player in Real Madrid, which is not outrageous, if he goes to other teams. can also lead the team to play well, even if it is not as good as Manchester City's league title, second and third in the league. Even the fourth is acceptable, as long as there is this kind of result, not to mention 7 million pounds, even if it is more than 10 million pounds, 20 million pounds is definitely worth it, and more importantly, after Wan Sheng arrived at Manchester City, he did not spend much transfer fee, and led the team to play a good result.

That's a real personal ability to lead a team!

Unlike Chelsea's Jose Mourinho, Chelsea spend more than 100 million euros on the transfer market every year, but the Portuguese still failed to bring the league title to the team, and Chelsea's results are good, but considering their investment in the transfer market, it is actually nothing.

If Wan Sheng can be invited to coach the club, then it will not be a big deal to offer a staggering salary contract.

I don't know how many clubs have similar thoughts.

Of course, it is not easy for them to invite Wan Sheng, at least there is no chance at the moment, because Wan Sheng's contract with Manchester City will not end until next summer, and before that, even if something happens to Manchester City Club, it is unlikely that Wan Sheng will be dismissed with brain damage.

Back to the topic of Thaksin's consortium investing in Manchester City.

The market value of Manchester City FC is roughly around 250 million pounds, but this is only the market value, and if you want to buy Manchester City FC in full, Football Newspaper estimates that you will have to come up with at least 400 million pounds or more.

That's a drop of the £790 million spent by the Glazer family to buy Manchester United, but given the difference in history and influence between Manchester City and Manchester United, £400 million is definitely a staggering figure.

Thaksin's consortium is certainly not without purpose in injecting capital into Manchester City FC.

Thaksin is likely to be hoping to become Manchester City club chairman.

If you want to become the president of Manchester City FC, you must hold a decisive stake and inject capital directly with a huge amount of money, which may also be a good means, because if the funds are sufficient, it is easier for the Manchester City board to pass, because they are just reducing the shares in their hands, not losing them, and at the same time having a large amount of money to move in, it will also allow Manchester City Club to develop rapidly, and the Football Newspaper expects that this fund will almost certainly exceed 100 million pounds, which is still the most conservative estimate, with the market value of Manchester City FC, £100 million is almost impossible to get more than 50 per cent of the shares, and City's board of directors will not approve it.

Well, the amount of capital injection proposed by Thaksin's consortium can be imagined.

The Guardian speculated that the amount of the injection would be around 150 million pounds, which is a very staggering figure, but the media was not surprised by the comparison, because according to the figures released by the Forbes wealth list in 2006, Thaksin's family has assets of about 2.2 billion US dollars, and Thaksin is also the only Thai on the Forbes rich list.

Now that Thaksin is in exile in the UK for political reasons in Thailand, it is likely that he wants to live in the UK for a long time, and it is understandable that he wants to invest in a football club.

This capital injection case of the Thai consortium has also become the biggest news for Manchester City club.

――――

In the media coverage of Manchester City, the club's affairs did not affect Wansheng.

Just like those media said, judging from Wansheng's current team results, even if the club changes its chairman, it is impossible to dismiss Wansheng, which will be boycotted by almost all Manchester City fans.

So it doesn't matter what Wansheng has at all, but he's a little looking forward to the summer transfer coming.

In his few seasons in charge, he has not had much transfer money in his hands, and he has to look at the money in his hand every summer to buy players, and if Thaksin's funding is successful, then he will definitely have a huge transfer fund.

"When the time comes, you will be able to buy the big stars directly!" Thinking of these, Wansheng is still a little looking forward to it.

In the memory of the previous life, Manchester City Club was bought by the Thaksin consortium in such a year, and the result is not clear, but the Thais must have brought a large amount of transfer funds to Manchester City, and Manchester City has also become a 'rich club' since then.

Wansheng knows very well that football in the next few years is the world of 'Jinyuan football', and the income of each football club will increase greatly, and they will spend more money to buy stars, and the value of stars will also rise sharply, so it will become more difficult for small clubs to get good results.

So he has little resistance to having money injected into the team.

The only concern is that if the club changes its chairman, will the new chairman step in with the team?

Wan Sheng didn't know.

But there is no point in thinking about it so much now, the current is to continue to lead the team, and soon Manchester City will have an FA Cup quarter-final against Blackburn.

When it comes to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, it is already difficult to meet the weak teams, and there are only a few teams left at this stage, including Chelsea and Manchester United, so Manchester City are already very lucky to meet Blackburn.

Blackburn Rovers is not a weak team, but there is still a gap compared to Manchester City, not to mention, this game is a home game, although the squad is not complete, Manchester City still defeated Blackburn 1-0 and advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals.

The next day, the other three FA Cup matches were all completed.

City's luck is still good, as they face Watford in the semi-finals, while the other is a clash between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Knowing this result, Wan Sheng said with some 'schadenfreude' in the media, "The clash between Manchester United and Chelsea is very attractive, it must be a good game, calculate the time...... Well, it seems like they're going to play two league games? It's really worth looking forward to! ”

In the 35th round of the league, Manchester United will play Chelsea in a big game, and after that game is the FA Cup final, the two teams will change venues and then have to play an FA Cup semi-final battle.

This kind of schedule...... It's no wonder that Wansheng would say so.

In particular, United are currently six points clear of Chelsea, but with a win for the two teams, Chelsea could level United with points and move into second place in the Premier League.

Therefore, the two teams will be fierce in the league, and similarly, the FA Cup semi-finals are related to whether they can enter the final, and it is impossible for both teams to give up the FA Cup, so the intensity of the two encounters can be imagined.

However, Wan Sheng only commented in the media, the current Manchester City can not relax, the most important work in recent days is to impact the league championship!

"We need to confirm the league title as soon as possible!"

Before the match with Charlton, Wan Sheng said to everyone in high spirits, "Three rounds in advance? Four wheels? I can't wait to see the other teams lining up to welcome us! ”

"Chelsea!? Liverpool!? You're looking forward to it, too! (To be continued.) )
