Chapter 157 Southampton made a top offer! I am shoulder to shoulder with Luke Shaw and Chamberlain!
Old Lester's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Gu, what kind of contract do you want?"
Gu Ran shrugged, "I don't understand anything..."
At this time, you must not take the initiative to reveal your trump cards! Once you reveal your trump cards too early, it will be difficult to increase your stake later!
In fact, this kind of quarrel should be handled by the agent.
But with Gu Ran's current amateur status, he has not yet hired an agent, so he can only handle it on his own.
Therefore, the closer we get to the game stage, the more stable we must be, so that we can have the opportunity to play pig and eat tiger.
Old Les laughed and said: "That's right, you are only 17 years old and have never been exposed to professional matters. Then let me give you a rough introduction to the several contract types and salary structures of our Southampton club."
"As I said before, the current financial situation of our Southampton club has improved. Although we are now a League One team, our salary structure standards are still much higher than other League One clubs."
"Generally speaking, each player's contract is different, but it is roughly divided into several levels based on the player's past performance, current strength level, and future development potential."
"The lowest level contract is a part-time contract for the youth echelon of the club."
"This kind of contract is not binding for a certain number of years. It is usually provided to youth teams under the age of 17 and can be terminated at any time. The contract usually indicates the club's signing priority. This kind of contract can also be called semi-professional
contract."
"In the UK, there is a minimum salary standard for players."
"This minimum standard is a standard that our FA committee has finally determined through countless hearings to protect the interests of players."
"According to the FA's standards, the benefits of a part-time contract are not high, but the weekly salary must not be less than 75 pounds."
Gu Ran couldn't help but nodded slightly:
For example, Tyas and Ross Barkley's contracts at Everton should be like this, but their weekly salary must be more than this low, otherwise they would have been poached to the youth training camps of other clubs.
If the weekly salary is 75 pounds... converted into a monthly salary, it is 300 pounds per month. According to the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan.
In the UK in 2010, a monthly salary of 3,000 was not high, but it was paid for free.
Middle school students under the age of 18, while enjoying vocational training, can also earn a monthly salary of 3,000 in pocket money...
This day is still very moist.
In contrast, many domestic football schools wish they could earn 20,000 yuan a month...
Of course, the requirements for British semi-professional youth training players are also very high, and it is not easy to get the minimum weekly salary of 75 pounds.
Old Rice added: "The part-time contract of our Southampton club is much higher than this minimum standard. Our current minimum weekly salary for part-time players is 165 pounds."
...Oh!
Converted according to the exchange rate, this is equivalent to a monthly salary of 6,600!
This is indeed a good price!
From this point of view, Southampton Club is indeed good. It is no wonder that Southampton Club has become a star-making factory in the entire UK. Southampton Club indeed attaches great importance to youth training.
Even though the Southampton club almost disbanded in recent years, it still attaches great importance to youth training.
Gu Ran couldn't help but nodded secretly, and thought to himself: If I were to go to Southampton Club, I would definitely not sign such a part-time contract.
I heard Laisi continue to introduce: "On top of the part-time contract, there is the youth player contract. This kind of contract is usually provided to young players over the age of 18. This kind of contract also depends on the situation. Some outstanding young players can get professional contracts.
, and some young people can only get semi-professional training contracts."
"According to the regulations of the Football Association, the minimum weekly salary for a youth player contract is approximately £100 and £150 - £100 for a semi-professional contract and £150 for a full-professional contract."
"In our Southampton club, the minimum weekly salary for a semi-professional youth contract is 225 pounds, and the minimum weekly salary for a full-professional youth contract is 300 pounds."
Gu Ran secretly thought: This kind of youth contract should be a semi-professional/professional contract arranged by the English Football Association to a professional club after reaching the semi-finals.
For example, for the current Bucks Steel Horns, if no club takes the initiative to provide a contract, the English Football Association will arrange adjustments. Most of the main players will be randomly assigned to small clubs in the English second division, and the Football Association will pay the lowest weekly salary.
The salary is used to finance these players to sign 1-2 year youth player contracts with small clubs. After 1-2 years, it depends on whether the small club is willing to renew the contract.
This contract model is also the key to ensuring that small clubs can have fresh blood in lower leagues.
Old Rice continued: "On top of the youth player contract, there is the young player contract."
"The difference between the two is age. Youth players are around 18 years old, while young players are around 21 years old. Another obvious difference is that most young players are reserve talents who have not played in professional leagues, while young players have
Those who have professional game records, have post-game ratings, are professional players who hope to join the first team, or are young players in the reserve team."
"According to FA regulations, the minimum weekly salary for a young player's contract is £300."
"At our Southampton club, the minimum weekly salary for a young player's contract is £650."
Damn it...
Gu Ran couldn't help but secretly took a breath of cold air:
The weekly salary of the reserve team is so high!
A weekly salary of 650 pounds, converted according to the current exchange rate, is equivalent to a monthly salary of 26,000 in China!
It was also the first time for Gu Ran to have such an in-depth understanding of the weekly salary situation of a British professional club, and he was filled with shock.
...However, although I am very young and meet the standards of this contract, I will definitely not be satisfied with a contract of this level if I want to join Southampton.
Just listen to the old Rice continue: "On top of the young player contract, there is the first team rotation contract, which is also commonly known as the substitute contract. This kind of contract is usually provided to players who are not strong enough, but have the ability to fill the gaps in the first team.
players."
"According to the regulations of the Football Association, the minimum weekly salary for first-team rotation contracts is 500 pounds. At our Southampton club, the minimum weekly salary for first-team substitute players is 1,100 pounds."
Gu Ran thought in his heart that he was awesome!
Even the weekly salary of substitute players is equivalent to the monthly salary of 44,000 in China!
Although this salary structure is not as good as that of Premier League teams, it is enough to beat English League One clubs and even surpass most English Championship clubs.
Moreover, this is the standard that has been lowered from the Premier League's salary structure after two major rounds of financial crises, from the cliff of almost disbandment.
It’s no wonder that Southampton almost didn’t survive the crisis in 2008. The club’s business capabilities were extremely poor and they relied entirely on selling players to survive. However, they still maintained a salary structure that was much higher than other clubs of the same level. , indeed conscientious enough.
Southampton Club is indeed a typical Christian + working class club, with the sincerity of the working class.
In the UK, supporters of almost every club have distinct characteristics.
——For example, Fulham Club is a typical farmer. Aston Villa Club is a typical British royal family. The most typical one is Arsenal Club. Arsenal is the leader among working class clubs. .
Gu Ran's good impression of Southampton Club has deepened even more.
Gu Ran also knew in his heart that given his amateur status as a professional youth training player and the fact that he had no previous professional experience, the contract he could get in a professional club should be for a young player with a minimum weekly salary of 650 pounds. The contract is already in place, and if you want to get a first-team substitute contract, it is already beyond the norm.
However, if Southampton Club only offers a substitute contract, Gu Ran still doesn't like it.
It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, what's important is attendance rate.
Signing a young player contract means that there is a high probability that he will be placed in the second team for training and will be a substitute for the substitute.
And signing a first-team substitute contract is just a substitute, and the appearance rate is not guaranteed by the written contract.
Gu Ran knew in his heart what he wanted most.
It’s not showmanship, it’s not weekly salary, it’s just the appearance rate of the first team!
Old Rice continued: "On top of the first-team rotation contract, there are the Star of Hope contract and the veteran contract. These two contracts are basically at the same level. They are for those who are lower than the regular strength of the first-team, but have great potential/merit. contracts offered to players.”
"According to the regulations of the Football Association, the weekly salary of the Star of Hope and Tonghe veteran contracts is at least 800 pounds. In our Southampton club, there are currently two players with Star of Hope contracts, who are just over 16 years old. 17-year-old defender Luke Shaw, and 17-year-old left winger Chamberlain."
"Luke Shaw is still in the youth team and his weekly salary is 1,380 pounds. Chamberlain is in the first team and his weekly salary is 2,720 pounds."
Old Rice said with great pride: "Luke Shaw currently has no record of a professional game. Chamberlain has played for half a season and performed well. These two little guys are currently the focus of our Southampton club's training. object."
Damn it...
Luke Shaw and Chamberlain, who will be famous in the future!
In the memory of the previous life, Luke Shaw later became Manchester United's main force, and he was the one who was defended by his teammate Maguire alone.
And Chamberlain is the future British Terrier King. Whether he plays well or not is another matter, but there are countless memes above his head!
These two guys are both top-tier Premier League stars in the next ten years!
That’s right! They also “set sail” from Southampton!
They must also have eaten the pie of old Les's "Driving to the Top", right?
Gu Ran couldn't help but yearn for it——
Being able to grow up with Luke Shaw and Chamberlain when they were young must be... a very exciting experience!
If you can get the Star of Hope contract, you must be regarded as a key training target by Southampton Club, and your appearance rate will definitely not be too bad!
Chamberlain is only 17 years old and can earn a weekly salary of 2,720 pounds, which is equivalent to a domestic monthly salary of 108,000 pounds!
This is already star-level treatment.
If I can get a contract of this level at Southampton Club, it will definitely be a top-notch treatment.
After all, Luke Shaw and Chamberlain are both professional players trained in the Southampton youth academy.
And I only became a monk halfway!
Gu Ran immediately determined his target contract in his mind.
I heard Old Rice continue: "The next step is the regular player contract of the first team. This kind of contract is generally provided to players who have rich practical experience and have high post-game ratings in professional games."
"The FA does not have an absolute minimum standard for the first team, but the average weekly salary of the first team of most English League One clubs is 1,200 pounds. At Southampton Club, the average weekly salary of the first team's regular contract is
The price is about 2,400 pounds."
"For example, our midfielder Schneiderlin, his current weekly salary is 2,450 pounds."
"On top of that, there is the first-team main contract. Southampton Club has very strict requirements for main players. In addition to passing a special physical test at the main level, the player also needs to have at least international honors, such as winning the Intercontinental Cup.
National team competition awards, or staying in the team for more than one year and performing outstandingly, being an important player in the team, etc."
"Currently, Southampton has only a few players recognized as the main players: goalkeeper and captain Davis, center back Walton, and forward Lallana. They all grew up during the 2008 crisis.
He is a pillar of support for the saints."
"Captain Davis' current weekly salary is 3,970 pounds, centre-back Walton's current weekly salary is 3,550 pounds, and forward Lallana's weekly salary is 3,480 pounds."
"And above that, there are core player contracts."
"As a core player of a club, he must make contributions to the club, and the entire club is commercially operated around the core player. The team's tactics are also designed around the player, and the player has won awards in international competitions.
Only those players who have won prestigious awards can be defined as core players."
Having said this, Rice shrugged, "Unfortunately, Southampton Club currently does not have anyone who can be recognized as a core player, but maybe in the future, someone will meet all the conditions and become the true core of the Saints.
"
As he said this, Laisi looked at Gu Ran eagerly.
...As expected of you, old Les, the pastry master.
Want to arouse my fighting spirit and make me work hard to fight for the core of the Saints?
Okay...that's a nice little goal indeed.
Gu Ran secretly smiled in his heart, and at the same time sighed with all his heart——
Compared with professional clubs, amateur teams are completely different in every aspect.
If nothing else, the contracts are graded in such detail that you really can’t get whatever you want.
Even if the senior management of Southampton Club takes a fancy to him, appreciates him, and treats him as a treasure, it is impossible to directly give the core players a contract.
The word profession means that everything has standards.
——You can fluctuate up or down within this standard, but you must abide by this standard.
I don’t know what kind of contract Southampton Club will offer.
Substitute?
There is a high probability that even the first-team substitutes are considered to be overqualified.
It can’t be a star of hope, right? That’s really the top grade.
Just when Gu Ran was making random guesses in his mind, he heard Laisi continue:
"The grading of contracts is not only different in weekly salary, but also in terms of bonuses, minimum termination fees, commercial endorsements, image rights, appearance rates, training assistance, tactical design, life assistants, etc."
"Gu, what our Southampton club can offer you right now is the Star of Hope contract."
