As the number one agent in world football and the current benchmark for European football agents, how could Lister do such a thing? Soon Manchester City announced that they had signed a new four-year contract with Torres.
The content of this contract has not been directly announced, but many people with sensitive information have obtained the content. With the transfer of Yaya Toure, Torres' salary has also been significantly increased, from the original salary of 160,000 pounds.
The weekly salary has become a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds. The meaning is very simple. Torres is currently Manchester City's top player, and Yaya Toure cannot overshadow him. Torres must guarantee the highest salary in Manchester City. This is not necessary
It is said that the top management of Manchester City has no objections, and even Mansour, the boss of Manchester City, has no objections. Mansour likes Torres very much.
In addition to the detailed bonuses for Torres, his goal bonus is very high. Of course, Torres is qualified to receive such a high salary from Manchester City, because Torres just came to the Premier League last season, but he was the top scorer in the Premier League.
.Torres scored 39 goals in Manchester City last season, including 28 Premier League goals. The second place in the Premier League scoring list is Anelka, who only scored 19 goals.
Torres's performance gave Riester enough confidence to demand a higher salary. In addition to Torres, Thiago Silva's contract was also quickly finalized.
Although Thiago Silva's transfer fee was high at first, his salary was not very high. However, last season Thiago Silva and Kompany's partnership was very good. Therefore, Riester asked Manchester City to improve Thiago Silva's salary.
Manchester City did not refuse Go Silva's salary. In the end, List signed a new five-year contract with Manchester City. Thiago Silva's salary increased from 80,000 pounds to 130,000 pounds.
Although among the current Manchester City, 130,000 pounds is not very high. It is only ranked in the middle. But for a defender, such a salary is already very high. In the current European football world, Chelsea is the only one with this special salary.
Only a few defenders such as Manchester United's Ferdinand and Barcelona's Puyol can compare with Thiago Silva.
As players continued to sign contracts, List's income also skyrocketed. Starting from the transfer of Yaya Toure, several players signed new contracts one after another, from which List received a share of about 15 million pounds.
The contracts signed by several players totaled more than 150 million pounds, and Lister received enough salary share. Plus the agent's commission, Lister started counting the money while lying down.
But Manchester City's actions were not over. On August 3, 2009, Manchester City announced that they had snatched their top scorer Edin Dzeko from Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg for 26 million pounds.
Dzeko became famous in the Czech League. He was the top scorer in the Czech League at Sparta Prague. Then he moved to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, where he performed well and scored 24 goals.
.This time, he was attracted by Manchester City and was introduced to Manchester City at a high price.
"Tsk, tsk, Manchester City is really..."
Many people in UEFA are angry about Manchester City's unscrupulous behavior of buying players. Manchester City has already obtained a place in the Champions League. Does Manchester City really not care about UEFA?
Even Merkley was surprised by Manchester City's courage. Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona are all clubs with high incomes, but when they buy people, they will also clear out many players. If you count them all, it seems that they spend a lot of money in the summer.
But in fact, the details are not that many. The financial situation is not a big problem.
But look at Manchester City. First, they keep raising the salaries of their players. Based on Manchester City's performance in raising salaries, Merkley thinks that Manchester City's salary this season should be more than 30 million euros. Then in the transfer market, a
The move was to bring in two players and spend more than 60 million euros. But Manchester City didn't blink an eye.
But how much is Manchester City's income now? Although there is no specific data yet, it should easily exceed 100 million pounds this season. But 100 million pounds in Manchester City's high salary is simply not enough in the face of such expenses in the transfer market.
Yes. The fiscal deficit is certain, and it is definitely a large amount.
"There is no way. Who made them born with money?"
Don’t panic if you have food in hand. These wealthy people in the Middle East have oil in hand and have no fear of anything. Manchester City is just a facade event for the Abu Dhabi consortium. Let alone investing hundreds of millions, even if they invest billions, they will not
care.
"According to the current situation of Manchester City, there will be a hole of at least 100 million pounds in one season. They really don't take us UEFA in their eyes."
"Barwell, £100 million. If nothing changes, £200 million won't be a problem."
“I don’t know how Manchester City is prepared to meet UEFA’s Financial Fair Play policy.”
Lister smiled and said nothing. Because everyone in European football will soon understand how Manchester City plays everyone. At the same time as the introduction of Dzeko, Manchester City announced that it had reached a jersey sponsorship agreement with Umbro.
Manchester City's original jersey sponsor was the French sports brand "Big Rooster", but it has expired this year. Manchester City chose "Umbro" as its partner. "Umbro" is a local brand in England and has always sponsored England.
Team.
But this is no secret. The two parties had already reached an agreement as early as April. It was just announced at this time. In this cooperation between "Umbro" and Manchester City, "Umbro" sponsors Manchester City for 11 million pounds per year.
In fact, it is not too low, because the previous "Big Rooster" sponsorship of Manchester City was only two million pounds a year.
Of course, Manchester City is qualified to receive such sponsorship fees. After all, Manchester City has made rapid progress in the past two years, jumping from a relegation team to second in the Premier League, and also entered the Champions League. And according to the current development of Manchester City,
They will be qualified to compete for the championship in the future. Manchester City's influence has also increased sharply. At this time, cooperating with them also values the future development of Manchester City.
After just signing "Umbro", Manchester City announced a sponsorship that made UEFA laugh and cry, and also shocked the entire European football giants. Emirates United Airlines announced that it has become Manchester City's largest sponsor. They and Manchester City
A ten-year sponsorship worth a total of 400 million pounds was signed. That is an annual sponsorship of 40 million pounds. But everyone knows that Emirates United Airlines is owned by Mansour’s younger brother. Isn’t this bullying?
Therefore, this sponsorship has angered many wealthy European football clubs. Are you kidding? Do you think we are all fools? This is not a typical case of paying with the left hand and spending with the right hand. Therefore, they have asked UEFA to conduct a thorough investigation. Of course, the one who is particularly enthusiastic is
Clubs like Bayern and Arsenal.
Their basis is that the concept of "market base price" was introduced in UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act. That is to say, you can't sponsor randomly, and you can't pay for it yourself and claim it is the club's income. Therefore, the "market base price" was introduced.
Concept. It means that the Chiefs are really willing to spend 100 million euros to buy a football from the club. Under UEFA's "market benchmark price" standard, it will only be calculated as the club's revenue of 19.95 euros. UEFA's regulation of chest advertising
, there are clear supervision standards for jersey manufacturer advertising and jersey sales.
Everyone uses this to question Manchester City, but the Abu Dhabi consortium is smarter than anyone else. The smart Mansour divided the sponsorship of 40 million pounds into three parts, with an advertisement on the chest of 20 million pounds and naming the stadium.
It is 11 million pounds, and another 9 million pounds is the title training ground and youth academy. The amounts of the three incomes are all within the market benchmark price range, and none of them violates UEFA regulations. Because there are neighbors
Manchester United is a reference. UEFA has nothing to do. When the British media were surprised by this 10-year sponsorship contract of approximately 400 million pounds, UEFA could only acquiesce in the legality of the deal.
What the Abu Dhabi consortium has done is simply flawless. With Manchester City's influence, it's a big deal that chest ads can sell for millions of pounds. As for the training ground and youth academy, which fool would sponsor Manchester City.
Even if it is sponsored, it is still sponsoring top giants with huge influence such as Manchester United and Real Madrid. But now, even for ordinary giants, it is impossible for people to come and sponsor their training ground and youth academy. You, Manchester City, are nothing.
But Manchester City is like this. Manchester United can be like this. So can we. I have fucking money, and I am willing to play with my own money. What, you bite me?
And this is the beginning of Manchester City's disgust with European football. Within two days, Manchester City announced another sponsorship. This time, the sponsor of Manchester City is a company from the United Arab Emirates. The Emirates Airlines in front is the company of Mansour's brother. And Mansour
This time, the UAE company is Etisalat, and its relationship with Mansour is not that close. But not that close. But with the status of the Abu Dhabi consortium in the UAE, no one will believe it if it has no relationship with him.
They are not as outrageous as Emirates United Airlines, but they also sponsor Manchester City for 20 million pounds per year. Etisalat will become the official telecommunications partner of Manchester City Club in 18 countries around the world (mainly in the Middle East and North Africa).
Of course, this has also been criticized. Manchester City, a club, can actually get a sponsorship of 20 million pounds. Etisalat has been developing in football for a long time. Which giant club can get a sponsorship of 20 million pounds a year. Among them
Mao Ni can be known by just thinking about it.
Seeing every sponsorship deal signed by Manchester City, Platini's face was like a million horses flying past. Because Manchester City was completely "chiluo" and slapped UEFA in the face and Platini in the face.
Look at how long it took. In a short period of time, Manchester City earned 70 million pounds in commercial income. But until last season, Manchester City’s annual commercial income was less than 40 million pounds. But Manchester City is a
In the summer, Manchester City's commercial revenue unexpectedly exceeded 100 million pounds. Next season, Manchester City's commercial revenue is estimated to be around 150 million pounds, second only to their arch-rival Manchester United in the Premier League.
And the representative of Emirates United Airlines is even more bullish. At the signing site, he said that if Manchester City can win the championship, then Emirates United Airlines will increase its sponsorship of Manchester City at any time. In other words, as long as Manchester City needs it in the future, it will not only be 40 million pounds a year.
, maybe 50 million pounds, 60 million pounds. It depends on Manchester City’s needs at that time.
"ox."
When he met Merkley again, Lister saw Merkley's helplessness. UEFA actually did not want to get into trouble with the traditional giants in European football. After all, those giants have been based in European football for many years, and there have been countless great players in history.
Famous players. Many of these famous players are still active in world football and are a force that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, UEFA's so-called "Financial Fair Play Policy" is more aimed at the nouveau riche. These nouveau riche have no history, no connections, and no strength. Apart from being rich, they are nothing in European football.
Suppressing them will kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.
Chelsea is already well established, and Chelsea contributed a lot when FIFA and UEFA disbanded the G14. Therefore, Chelsea was given some preferential treatment in the Champions League draw. But because Chelsea is a Premier League club, UEFA
Instead of continuing to take care of them, they could only continue to suppress them. But now Chelsea has great influence and good strength. Therefore, they cannot do too much, so they are targeting Manchester City.
The rich people in the Middle East are indeed rich, but they do not have any strength in European football. And UEFA has always believed that judging from the development of Manchester City, it is impossible to pass the "Financial Fair Play Policy". After all, Manchester City's current wages are ridiculously high.
The revenue simply cannot balance the books. When the time comes, punishing Manchester City can also establish the authority of UEFA. Unexpectedly, Manchester City directly brought in 70 million pounds of commercial income in one summer. And none of them violated UEFA's policies. UEFA
The Football Association clearly knew there was something fishy going on, but they could only stare blankly.
"Pavel, Platini's policy has many loopholes."
"This time you didn't look at Platini's face."
Merkley shook his head. After Platini became the president of UEFA, he did several big things one after another, especially the disbandment of the G14, which became his biggest political achievement. Unexpectedly, his "Financial Fair Play Policy" was so criticized by Manchester City, a wealthy man.
Chiluo" slapped naked in the face.
"Manchester City is already a fourth-tier team in the Champions League. It will definitely be difficult next season."
"hehe."
Merkley smiled. Manchester City bullied UEFA this time, how could UEFA make it easy for him. In the Champions League, they will definitely enter the group of death. Even if they come out of the group of death, they will still encounter strong teams. Europe
The Football Association is playing tricks on you, but it can't teach you a lesson every minute.
"Manchester City have really gone too far this time."
After hearing what Merkley said, List disagreed. Therefore, the "Financial Fair Play Policy" has great restrictions on rising stars. If this policy is fully rolled out, there will never be a successful outbreak like Chelsea or Manchester City.
Domestic teams. This policy does not protect the interests of weak teams. On the contrary, it protects the interests of wealthy clubs.
Why can the wealthy clubs rely on history and the territory established by their predecessors to enjoy it easily? However, if those small and medium-sized clubs do not have Russian capital and Middle Eastern capital, they will never be able to compete with the wealthy clubs with their own strength. It seems that
The bill that was broken is actually the most unfair bill. Manchester City is now using this method to avoid the "Financial Fair Play Policy", which is the only way out of all options.
"This is called policies from above and countermeasures from below."
