At the end of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated the Premier League giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal and won the Premier League championship in the 2009-10 season. Lister had just met Mansour, and Mansour was extremely happy.
In just three years of investment, Manchester City, which was originally a relegation team, turned into a championship team in one fell swoop. Mansour was very excited. Football is the number one sport in the world, and the Premier League's influence in the world is also growing day by day. Especially
In North America and Asia, the strength of the Premier League is unparalleled. Therefore, Manchester City is the face of Mansour and his family. Now that Manchester City has won the Premier League championship, Mansour and his family are also proud of their faces. Therefore, Mansour has shown
The bonuses are also very generous.
For this Premier League championship, Mansour waved a bonus of 6.2 million pounds. This is only a bonus for players. Players who have played will receive bonuses according to the number of games played. And this season, Manchester City has broken through the dead group of the Champions League.
He was only eliminated by Barcelona in the knockout round. Therefore, the Champions League bonus is also quite large, which is four million pounds. Mansour is really rich. These bonuses are not taken by the club, but are completely taken out of Mansour's own pocket.
Originally, the contracts between Manchester City players and Manchester City included bonuses for winning the championship. Moreover, Manchester City also had its own winning bonuses. The winning bonuses were originally richer than those of ordinary Premier League teams. But Mansour paid the extra money out of his own pocket.
Give them bonuses.
Like Torres, he is Manchester City's top scorer this season. Although he failed to win the top scorer this season, he still scored 22 Premier League goals. He scored four goals in the Champions League and three goals in the cup.
Therefore, Torres’ salary is already high, plus goal bonuses, winning bonuses, championship bonuses, and Champions League bonuses. In the end, the money he can get from Manchester City this season is truly tens of millions of pounds.
.In addition, Torres is still the favorite of sponsors, so his income this season must be around 25 million euros.
The same goes for other players. Even a defender with a relatively low salary, like Thiago Silva, received more than 5 million pounds from Manchester City this season. Because of this, Manchester City's salary and bonus expenditures are also
It has risen sharply. Although it cannot surpass Chelsea, it is not far away.
The coaching staff has other bonuses. For example, Pellegrini received a bonus of three million pounds after winning the Premier League championship this season. This includes both Pellegrini’s Premier League championship bonus and the Champions League.
A reward for outstanding performance. And Mansour and List have discussed that a championship coach should be treated like a championship coach. Manchester City is prepared to give Pellegrini a top-notch contract for a Premier League coach of nine million pounds. Surpassing Ferguson,
Overtaking Ancelotti and Wenger. Becoming the highest-paid coach in the Premier League.
"With this kind of investment, if I still can't win the championship, I'm really going to hit a wall."
Pellegrini is very happy. After all, at the age of 57, he won the top league championship in European football for the first time. Pellegrini is now about to enter the ranks of championship coaches. But he knows that he can win
Championship, Manchester City's investment of hundreds of millions is the most important.
"That's not easy either. It's all your fault."
Lister knows that. Historically, Manchester City has also been messing around. Ever since Thaksin entered Manchester City, first Eriksson was the head coach and he bought a lot of players. He spent nearly 80 million pounds in transfer fees on Thaksin. And then
It was Mansour who took over, appointed Mark Hughes as head coach, and spent more than 200 million pounds in transfer fees for Mansour.
At that time, neither Eriksson nor Mark Hughes had any clear ideas. They just poached whoever was good. As a result, Manchester City became the biggest scapegoat in European football. And the results of the two of them were consecutive.
They didn't get a place in the Champions League and were ridiculed by others. Manchester City was losing hundreds of millions of pounds every year and had no results for several consecutive years. It wasn't until Mancini came to Manchester City that Manchester City slowly began to build a team.
ideas.
Although List despised Mancini, Mancini's contribution to Manchester City was very great. It was precisely because of Mancini that Manchester City was able to introduce some outstanding players with Mancini's connections. There were also real players
The idea of team building began to have a stable development direction. The core players of Manchester City's subsequent team building were basically introduced by Mancini. In the end, Mancini also won an FA Cup championship and a Premier League championship at Manchester City.
Really brought Manchester City to the ranks of the top teams in the Premier League.
But it is precisely because of too much debt in the past, especially the large number of players introduced with high salaries that have become parallel imports. Even if Manchester City gave them away for free, no club would take them over. Because their salaries are too high, no other club will
Willing to take over. Even loan to them for free, but Manchester City still needs to bear half of the salary.
The most typical one is Adebayor. Because his salary is too high, even Real Madrid and Tottenham are unwilling to pay his salary. Therefore, he can only keep renting, and Manchester City also needs to pay part of his salary.
Therefore, Manchester City's income at that time was not much, but its expenses were very huge. Another great contribution of Mancini was to clean up a large number of previously high-paid players, slowly bringing Manchester City back to normal.
But now Manchester City has not gone through a period of chaos at all. On the contrary, it has developed very steadily. It has not wasted money on some useless players. Therefore, the current income of Manchester City is much higher than in history, and its performance is better than in history.
A big step, and the expenditure is much less than in history. Pellegrini, who brought Manchester City to the Premier League championship in the past two years, made a great contribution.
"But if we want to win the Champions League, we still need to add players."
After winning the Premier League championship, Pellegrini's ambitions began to grow. Manchester City has so many good players and the Manchester City club has so much money. It would be too courageous not to dream of winning the Champions League.
"It's good to have money."
List nodded. Manchester City's development is rapid, and the results on the field are also reflected in the economy. For example, when Manchester City won the Premier League championship this season, the final broadcast fee was more than 40 million pounds, reaching 46 million.
Pounds. In addition, Manchester City reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season and was eliminated by Barcelona in the quarter-finals. In the end, the income from the Champions League was more than 40 million euros. From these two incomes alone, Manchester City had a
Billions of euros.
Moreover, Manchester City sponsors itself. It has sponsored more than 60 million pounds for itself. After a series of series, this year's commercial income is more than 130 million euros. Just from these incomes, Manchester City's income has completely doubled, exceeding
200 million euros. If Manchester City's match-day revenue was not so low, it was only over 20 million pounds, otherwise the total revenue might have reached 300 million euros.
Compared with Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, the match-day income is higher. The match-day income of Manchester United and Arsenal has exceeded 90 million pounds, Chelsea has also exceeded 70 million pounds, and Liverpool and Tottenham have four.
Ten million pounds, which is really ugly compared to Manchester City whose match day income is only twenty million pounds.
However, this is still the result of Manchester City's great performance this season. Before Mansour moved in, Manchester City's match-day income was just over 10 million pounds.
Manchester City's current income is even higher than that of Liverpool and the three major Serie A clubs, and is directly catching up with Chelsea, another upstart. Of course, Manchester City's ability to have such a high income has a lot to do with Mansour himself subsidizing Manchester City's 60 million pounds.
But now Manchester City has unlimited potential. Because of the rise in Manchester City's performance, Mansour no longer needs to subsidize the club. There will also be many companies willing to sponsor Manchester City. Manchester City's commercial income still has a lot of room for development. For example, Umbro is willing to sponsor this season.
Improve the contract with Manchester City and increase jersey sponsorship fees. With the 60 million pounds subsidized by Mansour, it is not difficult for Manchester City's commercial income to reach 15 million euros.
And as Manchester City's performance rises, match day revenue, broadcast revenue, and Champions League revenue will all increase accordingly. Manchester City will develop based on its current performance. It is not impossible for revenue to exceed 300 million within two years. By then, it will really be possible not to be afraid.
"Financial Fair Play".
"Manuel, do you have a goal?"
"Yes. Didn't I tell you this?"
"who?"
It turns out that he is interested in his own players. This is easy to handle, as his family can easily say anything. Even if Manchester City's current signings are slowly getting on track, Manchester City's transfer fee will still be higher than other clubs.
"Reus from Sparta Prague. I like this young man very much. He has great breakthrough ability on the wing. I like him."
It's not that Pellegrini doesn't like Tevez, but what makes Tevez better is his body, speed and shooting ability. In terms of breakthrough ability, he is not a winger after all. His role is still inferior to that of an authentic winger.
A lot.
"oh?"
Lister smiled bitterly. In fact, Royce has not shown the dominance he will have in the future this season, but a coach is a coach and his professional ability is strong. Pellegrini also likes Royce.
"I'm sorry, Manuel Marco. I have finished talking to Liverpool. Liverpool will introduce Marco for 21 million pounds."
"So fast?"
Pellegrini didn't expect it at all, so he was very surprised. He likes Reus very much and has long thought about bringing him in. And he is not in a hurry at all, because Reus is a player of Lester and wants to
He wanted to bring in someone with an advantage over others. He believed that as long as he opened his mouth, Royce would not be able to escape from his grasp.
"I just talked with Liverpool, less than half a month ago. A big deal, Subotic, Vidal, Reus, and Lewandowski from Sparta Prague. The four of them will be together in the summer.
Transfer to Liverpool. Total value is 90 million pounds."
"What a pity. If they had transferred to Manchester City, the transfer fee for four people would have exceeded 100 million pounds, and their salaries would have been much higher."
Pellegrini was so disappointed. The player he was optimistic about just ran away. But it was precisely because Reus played in the Czech league that Pellegrini was not able to introduce him in time. And because of Riester's
Because of this, I was not in a hurry, and I didn’t expect to ask someone to cut off my hair.
"There are still a lot of good players in the Premier League. Aren't you looking for wide players? Like Arsenal's Nasri, Tottenham's Bale, Aston Villa's Ashley Young and Downing, Middlesbrough's Adam
.Johnson performed very well."
"Well, it looks like we have to select players from among them."
"You're not satisfied yet."
Manchester City has money and can look for players all over the world. Although the time for the "Financial Fair Play Policy" is a bit tight, this policy also leaves a lot of room. Based on Manchester City's current income situation, tens of millions will be spent in the summer.
There is no burden on the pound.
"This Adam Johnson is your player?"
"clever."
Although Lister was not able to completely control Middlesbrough, his penetration of Middlesbrough's youth training camp was still very serious. Adam Johnson, as Middlesbrough's most outstanding talented player in recent years, was not able to escape.
Riester's mastery.
"He's been outstanding this season."
Adam Johnson's performance this season is absolutely outstanding. In Middlesbrough, he scored 16 goals in the League Cup in total. He is the best young player in English football this season. Those who care about him
There are many clubs.
"It's also an excellent choice."
At present, Manchester City has too few local players. Pellegrini also hopes to introduce one or two local players to show off. (To be continued...)
