Chapter 417 Money and People
At the end of May, the Champions League final also came to an end. Guardiola finally won the Champions League and had the capital to challenge Jiangshan.
The current famous coaches have basically grown up, and there will be more and more coaches who will challenge the country.Both Guardiola and Mourinho have the Champions League in their hands, full of confidence, and Mourinho joined Inter Milan and became the new league champion. Next season, he will also aim at the Champions League.
As time went by, West Ham fans came up vigorously and put pressure on the team one after another, asking Goodman Desen to sell the team quickly.
Negotiations were speeding up, and a week later, the two sides finalized the contract.Goodman Demandsen and Free Gilson agreed to transfer all shares to Jiangshan.
The price was about the same as Jiangshan's last life. The two desperately needed a large sum of money, and in the end they could only sell at a reduced price. 8500 million pounds, nearly 60% of the shares, were all transferred out.
They may not know that in a few years, the broadcast fee of the Premier League will increase rapidly, and even the relegated team can get a broadcast bonus of [-] million pounds. The Premier League is the most profitable league.
It's a pity that their funds can't be turned over, and they can't carry it anymore. 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 teams will increase, the gap between the teams will be narrowed, the difficulty of winning the championship will be greatly increased, and the price of foreign buyers will also increase rapidly.
Everyone knows that you are a demolition household. If you don’t knock them, who are you knocking?
By June 6, all the contracts will be signed, and Jiangshan's JS Investment Company will become the team's largest shareholder, controlling more than 8% of the shares. Jiangshan's position in West Ham is unrivaled.
Of course, the money that Jiangshan took out was all bank funds leveraged, and the debt was directly passed on to West Ham United, which is beyond the imagination of West Ham fans.
"Our operation is similar to the way Glazer bought Manchester United. You spent about 5000 million pounds before and after buying the team. Now you have more than 99% of the team's shares. Congratulations!" Woodward automatically counted his own shares in the country.
Jiang Shan smiled wryly, "Who knew it would be so expensive to buy a team? But you guys are doing very well. Maybe you won't get much bonus next season. In a few years, you'll just wait to get rich."
"In addition, the fans, hurry up and issue a statement. We will invest 5 million pounds to improve the team's facilities and buy more outstanding players." Jiang Shan thought for a while, "Also, we have plans to expand the stadium within five years."
After the team changed hands, plus a small amount of debt in the early stage, the total debt has exceeded 2 million pounds.West Ham is not Manchester United. Manchester United can operate with a debt of 10 billion. West Ham has a debt of more than 2 million pounds. Fans will be shocked.
"Next, shall we move into player procurement?"
"Almost, but now, we need to appease people's hearts." Jiang Shan calmly looked at the team's roster.
The head coach is Zola, a well-known Chelsea star. He was able to lead the team to the top ten last season. He has already tried his best, considering the excessive stability of the team.Jiangshan intends to give him another year to continue coaching.
In terms of players, Carlos Tevez and Mascherano have already left, otherwise the team will be even stronger.
Two England goalkeepers, Green and James Walker; the defenders are also considered standard for mid-range teams, and England's Matthew Upson is also the captain of the team.Radoslav Kovac of the Czech Republic, Lucas Neal of Australia, Herita Ilunga of the Congo, Danny Gabbiton of Wales, and Walter Lopez of Argentina are mostly unknown people with worrisome development prospects.
The midfielder is quite strong, Scott Parker, an English midfielder that Jiangshan admires, Keelon Dyer, Mark Nob, Tony Stokes, only Parker can enter the England national team, plus Switzerland's Wallon Behrami, the midfielder is not weak.
At the forward position, there are Spain's Diego Tristan, Carlton Cole, Ashton, Zamora and others.
To put it simply, to enter the Champions League next season, reinforcements are needed on all three lines.Otherwise, with such a lineup, Jiangshan can only lead the team to the Champions League at most, and still only keep the league line, and don't even think about the others.
Buyer?Is there enough money?
Jiangshan has prepared 5000 million pounds, and the funds to buy the team are 5000 million pounds. Others use bank loans to buy players. He plans to spend another [-] million pounds.
Improving the team's infrastructure, establishing a new rehabilitation center, strengthening the youth training camp, strengthening business development and other departments all need to get money from other places, and the beginning is a difficult problem.Therefore, Jiangshan has no time to be the head coach at all.
"Mr. Woodward, you have no rest this summer." Jiang Shan took out a cigar and handed it to Woodward and Walker, "We will be very busy."
"I don't have much experience in player trading, but I can get started soon." Woodward became the team's new CEO, full of energy, and Jiangshan also gave him a small share of the CEO as usual. While receiving a salary, the team makes money, and he can also get dividends.
"This summer, I will do the buying and selling of players myself, and Walker will work with me. Your task is to get sponsors, and we are short of money!" Jiang Shan laughed, especially treacherous. He knew Woodward's ability to sponsor, and he must rely on him to make money.
"In the past two years, the team's performance has not surfaced, and the commercial value is still a little worse. In this way, the contract we signed has a shorter period of time, and we can increase the contract after the team's performance."
"Don't worry, I have experience in this area. I will add a buyout clause to every contract. If the time is not right, we will buy it out directly." Woodward is full of confidence. When he was at Manchester United, he has operated buyouts. Sponsorship contracts are full of experience.
Jiangshan looked down on the team's jersey sponsor last season, an airline travel company in England, which caused the West Ham players to wear the "XL" logo on their chests, which competed with Manchester United's Chevrolet logo. It was so ugly.
Can you have confidence in playing football with such an ugly logo?Fortunately, this company has closed down recently... West Ham does not have a jersey sponsor now. In his impression, Avery will become the jersey sponsor of West Ham, with a big "Alpari" hanging on his chest, which is also not very good-looking.There was even the "FX" logo later, why are they all the same thing?
Jiang Shan gave Woodward a task, "This summer, our total sponsorship fee will exceed 1000 million pounds. Can it be done? Of course, I will also help. Many companies in China want to advertise, and we can tap this market."
Jiangshan's entry into West Ham has caused huge waves in China. The team belongs to the Chinese team and is a star coach. It is conceivable that countless Chinese people will watch the West Ham game next season.
This is a huge business opportunity, and Huaxia's enterprises will definitely not miss it. A sponsorship of 1000 million pounds is not difficult for Woodward. The chest sponsor is at least about 500 million pounds, and the others will add up to more than 500 million pounds.
Of course, Jiangshan does not plan to sell the naming rights of the Upton Park Stadium now. The hearts of the fans have not yet stabilized and they cannot stimulate their nerves.
