Hello, 1983
Chapter 863 Big news!
Witnessed by the chairman of the FA, Earl Martin, as well as representatives of the Nottingham city government and fans, Liu Qingshan and Mr. Rice, the former chairman of Notts County Club, signed the acquisition contract.
The price Liu Qingshan paid was to repay Notts County's two million pounds arrears, and to pay an additional 100,000 pounds to Mr. Rice.
However, the external price is claimed to be a total of five million pounds.
This principle is similar to the principle of sending troops in ancient times, although there are 100,000 soldiers, but it is called a million soldiers.
2.1 million pounds, the acquisition of a League Two team, this price is actually a little high at the moment.
However, considering the long history of the Notts County club and the rapid development of commercial football, it is also a good value for money.
After the signing, Liu Qingshan became the new chairman of the Notts County Club.
Everyone welcomed and congratulated him with warm applause.
This is the most satisfactory result for all parties: Mr. Rice has finally pulled out of the quagmire, and the government has successfully thrown off the burden.
Fans are also very happy: finally don't have to donate to their beloved team anymore!
No one is rich these days, and fans donating money, of course, cannot last long, nor can they fundamentally solve the problem.
Just like a team like Notts County, the results are too mediocre, and there is no big sponsor to support it.
The local reporters were also very supportive and conducted some interviews on the spot, the focus of which was of course the new chairman Liu Qingshan.
"Mr. Mountain, do you have any ideas for the development of the team?" A reporter began to ask, which is what everyone is very concerned about. .
Liu Qingshan smiled: "Our top priority is to improve the strength of the team."
"How to improve?"
"It's very simple, buy the players we need." The smile on Liu Qingshan's face was even stronger.
Reporters like to get to the bottom of things: "Which players do you think the team needs?"
"As long as they are good players, they are all we need, for example, the current England national team players, after all, they won the fourth place in the World Cup.
"
Liu Qingshan's words were astonishing, and the reporters were stunned when they heard: What a big appetite!
Before the reporters could react, Liu Qingshan continued: "I plan to invest 20 million pounds in the club this season to recruit players and improve the team's strength."
Wow!
Everyone present exclaimed, even Earl Martin, who always paid attention to manners, was no exception.
Today, the pound is still relatively strong, and the exchange rate for the US dollar is basically about 1.5.
Twenty million pounds, or at least $30 million, is an absolute big deal for any club at the moment.
You must know that players at this time, transfer fees and the like, are really not high.
Just like Maradona, when it was most valuable, it was only 9 million US dollars, which was the highest among the stars at that time.
As for the players of the England national team, the most famous star of the team at the time, Lineker, the transfer fee was 1.2 million pounds.
In other words, spending 10 million pounds can basically buy the main force of the World Cup England team.
Compared with the transfer fee of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a few decades later, this seems to be quite cheap, but it is not always the case. In this era, in the whole world, the money is relatively real.
The reporters were so shocked that they didn't know what to ask for a while. Those fan representatives were going crazy, screaming strangely.
Of course they have reason to be excited: there is finally a rich boss!
Liu Qingshan saw that the reporters were silent, so he continued: "I have to trouble you all to help me and spread the word in the newspaper."
"England players, if they are interested in coming to the Notts Club, will earn twice as much as the original club."
The reporters continued to be confused: Can you still play like this?
Earl Martin's lips moved a few times, and he wanted to say: If you do this, you will definitely be disliked by other clubs.
But think about it, it seems that this kind of practice is not allowed by anyone.
When people have money, they like to spend it like this, and there is no other person to point fingers.
Only in this way, the transfer market may be messed up by this Mr. Mountain.
Players' worth, I'm afraid that they will generally improve by a grade. I really don't know whether it is good or bad?
Earl Martin was a little worried, feeling that this Mr. Mountain was the catfish that was mixed in with the sardines.
Big news!
The reporters finally reacted. If this news were published in the newspapers, it would definitely cause a panic.
The more chaotic the better, of course, the reporters are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
So hula surrounded Liu Qingshan and began to ask questions.
Liu Qingshan replied one by one with a smile, and the excited fans scattered in a hurry and went back to spread the good news.
After dealing with the reporters, the government officials were sent away, and the rest were basically members of the club.
Notts County Club, because of financial constraints, there are not many staff in the club, and they are basically pieced together.
The coaching staff on vacation was also called over. The head coach is Neil Warnock, whose coaching ability and level are not bad.
The biggest achievement is to lead seven different teams to upgrade. He is a promotion coach, which is quite suitable for the Notts County club, which is now preparing to enter the First Division from the Second Division.
Although the coaching staff is called a "team", there are actually only two people, one is the head coach Neil and the other is an assistant coach, who is in charge of training. The division of labor is so simple and rude.
It seems that the original Mr. Chairman, in order to save expenses, has really streamlined administration.
Liu Qingshan met with coach Neil, and after a small talk, he told Neil about the fact that he would pay a lot of money to recruit players.
Neil was more excited at first. After all, as a coach, who wouldn't like to coach high-level players.
But soon I was a little worried: "But what about the original players, are they all fired?"
The assistant coach, Carlisle, a young man in his thirties and a former Notts County player, added:
"There are several players in the team, all locals, who have been playing for the team."
Liu Qingshan also understood: these players are not necessarily strong, but they are all veterans of the club. If they are all swept out of the house, it will have a bad impact on the club, as if the club does not care about feelings.
This is very important, it is related to whether the players will have a sense of belonging to the club.
In fact, Liu Qingshan had already thought about it for a long time, and he simply waved his hand:
"This is easy to solve. If they want to, they can retire directly and join the club's work. Now the staff in various departments of the club really need to be replenished."
After all, he has been a player and belongs to the industry. Even if he retires, he can still engage in football-related work.
For example, being a trainer, being an assistant coach, etc., at worst, you can even be a scout.
Assistant coach Carlisle gave Liu Qingshan a deep look, and couldn't help but have some good feelings for the new boss.
This approach allows players to still have a stable job after retiring, which will definitely win people's hearts.
It seems that the new owner is not only rich, but also has a conscience, and Carlisle also sees hope for the Magpies.
Several people pinched the team's roster and implemented the players one by one. In fact, there are still some good players in the team, such as Steve Cherry and Phil Turner.
The Notts County club will return to the first division next season, and these two players have contributed greatly.
Players like this must of course continue to renew their contracts, but in terms of treatment, of course, they must also be appropriately increased.
Most players need to leave the team, meritorious players, and recruit the club to continue their work.
After the existing players are placed and the team can still play, there are only five or six players left. Obviously, it is necessary to regroup.
This is also a big test for the coaching staff. A new team is not so easy to integrate.
Liu Qingshan continued to control the overall situation: "According to my analysis, under the temptation of our high salary, there will definitely be a few national team players to take effect, everyone is ready."
"In addition, specially send someone to contact Lineker, and no matter how much it costs, he will be dug up."
"Sir, Lineker is already 30 years old." Head coach Neil reminded that such a veteran does not seem to be worth investing too much financial resources.
Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "Our team needs a team's soul."
The coaching duo instantly understood that Lineker had the supreme honor in the England team. With such a player as the captain, the team's cohesion was immediately established.
The two couldn't help looking at each other: Who said Mr. Mountain didn't understand football?
Lineker's current worth is not high. It is estimated that the price of two million pounds will definitely be tempted. There is still a high chance of success in this matter.
Afterwards, the coaching duo mentioned a few players who were suitable for the team in their minds, and Liu Qingshan agreed. After all, the current players are really cheap, and the ordinary ones are only a few hundred thousand pounds.
Liu Qingshan raised another question: that is, the echelon construction of the team, we must also pay attention to the training of young players, so that a virtuous circle can be formed.
Everyone understands this principle. The reason why Notts County Club could not do it in the past was because there was no money to invest. Now it is better, and there is no need to dig Soso, and split a penny into two halves.
Liu Qingshan also provided the coaching staff with a list of young players, such as Robert Baggio, Zidane, Alan Schiller, etc., who can be recruited, try to recruit the team.
"It is said that Robert's transfer fee has exceeded ten million dollars." Coach Neil frowned.
Baggio performed well in the just-concluded World Cup, scoring one of the most exciting goals in this World Cup, so his value has also risen.
"It doesn't matter, money is not a problem, I will call him personally."
Liu Qingshan and Baggio still have a bit of a love affair. After all, they also hired Baggio to be the spokesperson for Jade Bird Mobile.
As for Zidane and Schiller, who have not yet made a name for themselves, that is the price of cabbage. If you pay one hundred and eighty thousand pounds, you can basically recruit them.
After a few years, it will be worth tens of millions, and it will definitely not be a loss.
Players at this time have not yet ushered in the tide of price increases, and the famous Boseman Act has not yet passed.
Just like the later Shevchenko, who won the European Footballer of the Year, the Golden Football Award and other honors, played for AC Milan, Chelsea and other teams, and is definitely a big star.
Such a big star, who went to the domestic A-A trial training in the past, was the Shenhua team, but he was disliked by the team, saying that he was too tall and not suitable for playing football.
And how much was Shevchenko worth at the time?
He asked for a million, but the team thought it was too expensive, and they didn't hire him.
As for the domestic A and A, when they were officially professionalized in 1994, the player's worth was basically only a few hundred thousand Chinese coins.
The most expensive at that time was General Fan, at 1.2 million.
Thinking of domestic football, Liu Qingshan felt that after returning to China, he still had to invest in setting up a football school. As for buying a football team in China, he had no such idea.
At that time, he will also avoid being criticized by the media, saying that he has all the money to invest in foreign teams.
Liu Qingshan stayed in the club for two days. He had money and was able to do things well, so he basically implemented all the affairs of the club.
At the same time, newspapers throughout England were about to be screened by the Notts County Club.
The reason is very simple. This kind of high-priced recruitment of players is really unprecedented.
The first to make a statement was the rising star of the national team, Gascoigne, known as the bad boy, who issued a statement saying that he was willing to join the Notts County club.
The other players were secretive, and when they were embarrassed to open their mouths, it was Gascoigne who acted recklessly and was the first to lift the fig leaf.
With the lead in attracting firepower, it would be easy to handle. One after another, several players of the national team began to contact the Notts County Club.
On the third day, Lineker announced with a high profile that he would join the Notts County club for a transfer fee of 2.6 million pounds.
This price also detonated the media again, because Lineker's worth was only 1.2 million, which has more than doubled.
It seems that the Notts County Club is coming for real, not attracting attention.
With Lineker taking the lead, six players from the national team joined Notts County, with prices ranging from £1 million to £2 million.
Adding these players together, it is less than 10 million pounds, and Liu Qingshan is so happy that it is cheap.
The fans of Notts County are also crazy. For many years, the team has not had such a big deal.
All fans are looking forward to the new season.
"It's amazing to be rich." Fans of the rival Nottingham Forest team in the same city couldn't help but feel a little tasteful.
"Money is great!" Notts County fans usually respond with this sentence, choking the other party to nothing to say.
What makes Liu Qingshan most gratifying is that Robert Baggio also agreed to join, as well as Zidane and Schiller, who also expressed their willingness to join.
When the time comes, the other positions will be filled. This team is coming to the Second Division. Liu Qingshan feels like a bit of a cannon to fight mosquitoes.
The venerable Notts County Club is back to life and is thriving.
As for the other teams, it was even worse. UU reading www.uukanshu.com scolded that Mr. Mountain behind his back.
If they want to keep the original main players, they must raise their salaries, and they will increase a lot of expenses for nothing. Of course, they have reason to curse.
But Liu Qingshan doesn't care. He is a spoiler. In the coming year, he will be brewing a bigger football storm.
After arranging the club's affairs, Liu Qingshan returned to London.
As soon as I returned to the hotel where the Heart to Heart Art Troupe lived, I was told by Gao Lingfeng that someone was invited.
Liu Qingshan was also a little tired these days. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Gao Lingfeng say, "It's the concubine of the royal family."
Liu Qingshan nodded, it seems that this invitation must be attended.
