Section 481 Use of Funds
After celebrating the victory of the Champions Cup, Liverpool has officially entered the holiday, but the players are on holiday, which does not mean that the Liverpool team can rest. At this time, in the Liverpool team, the team's owner Morse, manager Parry and manager Benitez are also discussing the transfer plan for the summer.
"We have a lot of money to spend this summer." Benitez gets straight to the point.
The Champions League champion represents more than just an honor, and at the same time, it also brings a lot of money and benefits. And for Liverpool, this money is simply a good thing like a long drought.
"Let's talk about what we need to spend this year." Club chairman Morse, manager Parry and manager Benitez are the top three of Liverpool, and the three of them have the final say on the cost of this money - in fact, to be precise, it is Morse and Parry who have the final say. But because Benitez had just won the Champions League, and he had been making a lot of suggestions, Morse proposed that he discuss how the money should be spent.
"First of all, we have to pay off our debts." Speaking of this, Morse said, "We owe about 30 million in debt, and I think this money will have to be paid first." โ
"We can still owe it for a while by relying on credibility now." Parry frowned.
"No, it's going to have to be paid." Morse refused, "You know, now the Premier League boss needs a big investment to be able to do it, I don't have much money, it's unlikely to be a boss again, I won't be in this position for long." If possible, within a year or two, I would have sold Liverpool. I want to give Liverpool a rich owner and then let him come and inject money into Liverpool. So I don't want to leave Liverpool in debt, and if Liverpool has too much debt, there won't be many people willing to take it over, and ...... We're going to have to take out a loan when we build Stanley Stadium in the future, reputation is very important to us, we have to be careful. โ
Actually, Morse didn't tell the truth. He still has a little selfishness of his own, he doesn't want to leave Liverpool with a mess of debts, although the new owner will not care, but this will make his status in the hearts of the fans drop.
Parry and Benitez also understand his careful thinking, but why bother to expose such words?
"That's quite a lot of money...... "that's a lot of money," Parry muttered, "thirty million, enough to buy several people." โ
"But the money has to be spent." Morse continued, "Also, we still have a few dollars that we can't save. First of all, we're going to renew Stephen and Joey's contracts. Give them a pay boost to the top of the Premier League. โ
"By Premier League top-level do you mean ......"
"Stephen's ยฃ100,000 a week, Joey raised to ยฃ90,000 a week." Morse thought for a moment before speaking, "We also have to look up to Chelsea, Manchester United, our players, no worse than them. โ
How do I think you're more of an upstart...... Benitez said to himself.
"This disrupts the wage balance!" Parry immediately objected, "One of the reasons for Liverpool's success is that we are very frugal on wages, 80% of what other teams spend is wages, we only have 56%! That's where we succeed. โ
"Where the hell did you see that Liverpool have been so successful over the years...... Benitez couldn't help but speak directly, "but I don't agree with the salary increase either." Our funds are not very rich, and Joey, Stephen said, they can understand. โ
"Yes, that's true, but when a player should be rewarded, he has to be rewarded." Morse said, "Everyone like Chelsea pays a high salary, I can't give it, it's too unbalanced." But I have to pay a weekly salary of 100,000 yuan. โ
"Then Zhao Yaning shouldn't have raised his salary, he has only been here for a year, and he shouldn't have raised his salary so soon. Moreover, he himself did not ask for a salary increase, which would encourage the greed of the players! โ
"If it doesn't rise, it won't be able to keep people at all." Morse smiled bitterly, "My own children like Michael can't be kept, and we have to pay money to keep them now." Greed or something, don't they be greedy if we don't give them a raise? โ
"But why is he ninety thousand pounds and Stephen one hundred thousand......
Benitez's question was immediately interrupted by Morse, "This is a must, the salary of local players is higher than that of foreign players, Chelsea's John Terry, Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, Arsenal's Campbell, aren't they all higher than Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Thierry Henry's?" โ
Benitez has nothing to object to on this question: isn't Raul, the highest salary in Madrid?
"Okay, renewing the contract, paying off the debt, is there anything else?" Parry said helplessly.
"It's not just a few of them." Morse continued, "Haman, Traore, Cowell, Barosh, none of these meritorious men of Istanbul can be let go, all of them are left. Now that we have the money, we can renew the contract, and we can't let the meritorious members of the team leave the team like this. โ
This sentence made Benitez and Parry frown together, "They all want to leave the team themselves, they are useless, and they ......"
"The fans love them! And he
We've really contributed to the team! An Istanbul champion, how much accolade have they brought to Liverpool? Can you bear to let such a person leave the club and live a life of exile? Morse dissatisfied.
But we're not a hospice, so we can't leave everyone...... Benitez was a little helpless, "Some people have already contacted the next family. For example, Baros, as well as Dior, Biscayne, they have all contacted other places, if we force us to stay, one is not necessary, and the other is not possible. โ
"Try to keep it. Those who are willing to stay cannot be driven away. And those who are willing to leave should also be blessed. โ
Benitez nodded in agreement, although he admired Morse's friendship with the players, but Benitez himself also has his own ideas about Liverpool FC. This money, he is not prepared to let Morse spend all of it on how to renew the contract of a bunch of useless wasters.
"We need to invest in our Academy. Again, Melwood needs to invest. I need a new batch of coaches and team doctors. Especially the team doctors, our team doctors are basically a group of ...... IMHO, amateurish. Benitez opened his mouth, "They shouldn't treat humans, don't say Liverpool, any professional team, they shouldn't take care of the players." We need to spend a lot of money to build a new academy base, but also to bring in a new team doctor and training staff, to update our training equipment, medical equipment, and at the same time, to build a scouting network for our team. I have already said this question, this money can not be saved. โ
Morse and Parry were silent for a moment before speaking, "It's right to find a team doctor, but the current team doctor can't be dismissed." Liverpool has its own traditions, and we can't go against them...... So, I thought, just keep them and bring in a new medical team and a new coaching staff. โ
This sentence made Benitez frown even more, and Parry was not happy, "This is a lot of money." It takes $30 million to pay it off, the construction of the Academy โ last year's rebuilding of the Chelsea Academy cost ยฃ50 million, I've read your report, we don't need to go around buying the stars of all countries like they do, but it takes a lot of money. Medical equipment, training equipment, and the relaying of the scouting system, which does not require money? Spending money like this, our bonus of more than 100 million is simply not enough. โ
"How much money do you have left?" Benitez asked.
Parry calculated in his heart, "If you count it all, the transfer fee of less than 20 million will be left in the end." โ
These words made Morse and Benitez look at each other. 20 million transfer fee?
Michael Essien, who is now the hottest speculation in the transfer market, has a transfer fee of more than 20 million pounds!
Since winning the Champions League, Liverpool seems to have returned to the top of Europe overnight, and now in Europe, there are many players like Liverpool, Southampton's Walcott claims to be a Liverpool fan, Argentina's new generation of Maradona's successor Aguero also claims to be a Liverpool fan, and there seem to be countless Liverpool fans all at once, but these people, no one is indispensable for a sum of money.
20 million, what is enough? This amount of money can't even buy a world-class big-name star.
"It's a little bit less...... What we need to bring in: a substitute striker, who can be said to share the pressure for Moro and Diego, or take the main position. A main midfielder, content with the backfield defense. A full-back, preferably on both sides, always ready to rotate. A main full-back to replace Finnen. A first-choice goalkeeper to replace Dudek. It's better to have a good defender who can be content to be a substitute for two years, but at a good enough level because we need him to succeed Hyypia in the future...... It's about six places, and our transfer fee is probably only ...... 20 million. Benitez looked at the price and couldn't help but take a breath, "It's too little money." โ
It's not enough money to buy one big name, but you still have to buy six players. Although Benitez estimates that a few people who are leaving, Baros can still sell it for a little price, and he should be able to scrape together 25 million pounds in the end, but this money is still a little less......
"Rafa, I don't have any money." Morse lowered his head a little embarrassed, "I can't help you much, this 20 million is our entire transfer fee......"
"Am I in charge of the transfer?" Benitez interrupted him and asked, "I said you can bring in anyone, right?" โ
"Theoretically, but we'd better discuss it." Parry frowned, "If you want to pay a lot of money to bring in someone unknown, I won't agree to it." It's up to you which player you want to bring in. But I am in charge of the negotiation process. You know, sometimes, the power of the agent will inevitably have an impact on the coach's recruitment, and we do this to avoid unnecessary trouble. โ
"The total transfer amount of 20 million, what kind of price do you have to ......say," Benitez muttered, "Just let me be responsible for providing the transfer list, 20 million, I can always buy some people." โ
20 million is a little less, but you can't buy a sofa, you can always buy a stool. As long as it's not for me a desk lamp, ฯยท u(8) Update the fastest reading network
