Chapter 191: Episode [191]: Things that must be handled now

Name:The Giant Creator Author:Dragonmen
Farewell to the players and coaches of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng came to the chairman's office again.

In the office, Zhong Cheng is sitting with the club's executive CEO and the club's vice chairman, Trevor Birch. Trevor Birch is also very busy this season. Almost everything he does is at the club. Zhong Cheng is more concerned about coaching.

Trevor Birch is reporting to Zhong Cheng, saying, "We have been very successful this season, not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of operations. This is our first time in the past few years. Profitable once, and still very profitable! "

Zhong Cheng nodded, which he expected.

At the beginning of the season, Zhong Cheng had just acquired Leeds United, and before he became the head coach of Leeds United, the fans of Leeds United were very excited. The packages and season tickets of Leeds United were sold very well. It was quickly sold out.

Therefore, no matter what time, Ellan Road's playing rate is very high this season, they make a lot of money for the ticket money.

Then there is a chest advertising sponsorship fee from Emirates [Fly · Emirates], and a jersey sponsorship fee from Li Ning Sporting Goods Company of China, plus bonuses for various games, and TV broadcast share, Leeds United is greatly Profitable.

You must know that Leeds is the Champions League and the Champions League. These broadcast points have achieved very high scores. They are the team with the highest broadcast share in the Premier League, even more than some Premier League teams. high.

And the investment of Leeds United this season is not very large. During the transfer period of this season, Leeds United spent a total of about 5 million pounds, and the salaries of Leeds United players are not very high. This expenditure is really not much. Leeds United's finances this season are very healthy.

However, at this time Trevor Birch's face is not very good, he said: "Although we have made a lot of profits this season, even more than many Premier League teams, but we want to pay off the debt, which is basically not possible!"

Yes, at this time Trevor Birch is worried about paying off the debt!

During this year, Zhong Cheng paid off some debts from time to time. When he first accepted it, Leeds United owed almost 50 million pounds of debt. Now Liz United owes 30 million pounds of debt.

If Leeds United is unable to pay off its debt this season, the Leeds United club is likely to declare bankruptcy. This is definitely not what Trevor Birch would like to see, and he is now full of affection for the Leeds United club.

Trevor Birch sees the prospect of Leeds United, and he is convinced that if the Leeds United club continues to operate like this, the Leeds United team will certainly be very successful.

However, with so many debts on his head, he is very uneasy!

Zhong Cheng said: "You can rest assured that the matter of debt is left to me. I am the chairman and owner of the team, and I can resolve this matter!"

Trevor Birch immediately asked: "What do you want to do?"

Zhong Cheng raised his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this, you can rest assured. At the beginning of the new season, we will not sign any debts!"

Looking at Zhong Cheng, Trevor Birch was very worried and stopped talking!

━━━Split line ━━━

Zhong Cheng asked his assistant Julia Oliveira to make a cup of coffee for Trevor Birch.

Zhong Cheng himself was constantly stirring the steaming coffee with a spoon, and Zhong Cheng's face was instantly hidden behind the steaming white mist.

Zhong Cheng said, "I originally planned to spend a sum of money to renovate the club's training base in the new season, add some training infrastructure, and build a data studio and a health care center."

When he heard this, Trevor Birch was shocked and stunned.

Trevor Birch immediately said: "Loa, isn't this too quick to make a profit? I think we're still safer. Don't be as rash as Peter Rizdale. It puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on the club, it is so easy to collapse! "

Zhong Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because of this consideration that this plan has been temporarily suspended!"

After hearing Zhong Cheng say this, Trevor Birch was finally relieved, but fortunately, Zhong Cheng didn't have any fuss!

Zhong Cheng said, "However, starting next season, we must invest more time in the youth team. I hope that our youth training in Leeds will become a benchmark for future youth training in England. Self-sufficient! "

Trevor Birch nodded, and he agreed.

However, Trevor Birch reminded: "This work can be done, but it needs to be firm and steady. Don't be impatient and step into the sky!"

Zhong Cheng agreed very much and said: "I know this, you can rest assured!"

Trevor Birch is very clear about Zhong Cheng. Since he said so, there would be no problem. I don't want some people to speak well in person, I forget about turning my face.

Suddenly Zhong Cheng also said, "There is still another problem in the new season, and that is the home issue of our club!"

Trevor Birch frowned suddenly when he heard this, and when he heard this, he hated the death of Gerald Krasner and Kroll Simmons. For his own benefit, the dregs sold Leeds United Club to Jack Pecher for 4.2 million pounds of cabbage.

This bunch of **** garbage is simply a prodigal. You have to know that in 1998, when Leeds United Club redeemed Elland Road Stadium from the Leeds Parliament, it cost 10 million pounds. This is a few years later. Elland Road Stadium The value will only increase but not decrease.

This group of **** guys did a good job selling the Elland Road stadium for less than half the price, which really digs for Zhong Cheng and his Trevor Birch.

Trevor Birch could not help but sip: "Damn Krasner, a group of vampires!"

Zhong Cheng sighed and said: "Now it's useless to say that, we are now going to deal with the problem of the new season."

A successful team, a team that wants to grow bigger and stronger, must not have a stadium of its own team, Leeds United must have the next stadium of its own.

Trevor Birch immediately asked: "What are your plans?"

Zhong Cheng gently stirred the coffee in front of him, and the heat had gradually dissipated, revealing Zhong Cheng's fortitude.

Zhong Cheng said, "I have two plans here!"

Trevor Birch immediately said, "Speak and listen!"

Zhong Cheng said, "In August 2001, then club chairman Peter Rizdale wrote an open letter to the team's season ticket holders and shareholders explaining the refurbishment of Elland Road Stadium and the possibility of Home-migration plan. At the time, a fateful vote was held. Only 13% of the 18,500 people supported staying at Elland Road. Others agreed to move home. "

Trevor Burch nodded. He knew it at this time, but it was a sensation at the time.

And after the voting results came out, Peter Rizdale immediately announced that the Leeds United Club would all move to a new stadium in Skelton with a capacity of 50,000 spectators in July 2011. The plan will be implemented in the 2004-2005 season, but Peter Rizdale was fired in March 2003, and the plan eventually aborted.

Trevor Birch said eagerly: "You also want to relocate the team to Skelton at home?"

Zhong Cheng shook his head and nodded again. Trevor Birch was confused for a while. Is this true or not?

Zhong Cheng said: "This is just an option. The second option is to redeem Elland Road Stadium!"

Trevor Birch nodded, he knew what Zhong Cheng was thinking. Trevor Birch immediately asked: "Which idea do you prefer?"

Zhong Cheng groaned and said, "I still prefer to migrate to the new stadium. After all, going to a new place is easier for Leeds to mark me. And, around the new stadium, we can also build a very Where is the huge football theme park, home of Leeds United, where it will become an extremely prosperous fashion, commercial and entertainment center! "

Hearing Zhong Cheng's words, Trevor Birch was also yearning.

However, if that is the case, Leeds United will definitely invest a lot, and it is impossible to say that Zhong Cheng must also follow in Peter Rizdale's footsteps.

Looking at the groaning of Trevor Birch, Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Of course, we can also directly repurchase the Elland Road stadium. Because Krasner Gerald and others are selling the Elland Road stadium. At that time, they obtained 25 years of free lease and repurchase terms for Elland Road Stadium. The sooner they repurchase, the cheaper they will be. But even if we buy back Elland Road Stadium now, we will have to spend 5.5 million pounds. ! "

Yes, just a year ago, Elland Road Stadium directly increased the price by 1.3 million pounds. What is the difference between Nima and usury?

Trevor Birch hated the vampires Krasner Gerald, **** garbage!

Zhong Cheng said, "After repurchasing the Elland Road stadium, we will definitely renovate the Elland Road stadium, because now the Elland Road stadium is really too small. Otherwise, Peter Rizdale would not have made such a proposal that year! "

Now there are more and more fans in Leeds United, and there are more and more fans who want to go to the scene to watch the ball. Elland Road Stadium is now somehow unable to meet the needs of Leeds fans, refurbished or relocated to new Home is imperative.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng will discuss this matter with Trevor Birch now.

Trevor Birch also nodded. Indeed, the Elland Road Stadium is still a bit small. The stadium must be refurbished. The refurbished seats must be able to accommodate at least 50,000 people. Now the Elland Road Stadium can only accommodate 40,000. If there are no people, the gap is still a little big.

Trevor Birch immediately asked: "So, are you really planning to move your home to another place?"

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, "This is a big thing. Now my status and prestige in the hearts of Leeds United fans are not high, and many people have not accepted me. If you move the stadium at this time, it will definitely attract a lot of people. Rebounded! "

Trevor Birch nodded and said, "What then?"

Zhong Cheng said: "Let ’s do this, let ’s learn from Peter Rizdale and write an open letter to the season ticket owner and club staff of the Leeds United Club and vote!"

Trevor Birch nodded slightly, this way!

Zhong Cheng said: "It is best to do this as soon as possible, and strive to solve this problem before the new season."

Trevor Birch immediately said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll do it right away!"
