Chapter 219: Why Is There One More 1?
Dong Fangzhuo looked at the blank contract on the table, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he was really crooked and hit......
Originally, Lin Xu had talked to him about the contract renewal and salary increase before, and his recent performance was naturally needless to say, and he was completely qualified to talk to Ferguson about the salary increase, but Lin Xu also meant to wait until the end of the season.
But who knew that after returning to Manchester from South Korea last time, when Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Jihai were eating together in an Italian restaurant in Manchester, they happened to meet Manchester City Chairman Bernstein.
During the meal, there was no talk about Dong Fangzhuo's joining, both sides were very taboo, purely chatted about the prospects of China's football business market, etc., who knew that the Sun took a photo of their dinner?
Then, it's time for you......
But if he thinks about it from Ferguson's standpoint, he will definitely not know, not to mention that Lin Xu asked Dong Fangzhuo not to explain.
In Ferguson's view, the X** report of the news media forced Ferguson to start the contract renewal work at the end of the season ahead of schedule.
It's not one person's business, it's the whole team's business. If one person renews his contract and his salary increases, others will follow.
Who is paid the highest weekly wage in the Manchester United squad right now? It is Rio Ferdinand, after the contract renewal, his weekly salary has reached 120,000 pounds, which is already the NO1 in Manchester United. As the most important central defender in the Manchester United team, it is normal for Ferguson to give this weekly salary, the whole world lacks a top central defender, and it is natural to tie Ferdinand to a high salary.
As for the rest of the defenders, apart from Gary? Outside of Neville, he is really embarrassed to ask Ferguson for a salary increase, like Sylvester and Brown have made frequent mistakes in this season's games, and it would be good if Ferguson didn't come to a big purge.
In the midfield, veterans like Ryan Giggs will no longer have excessive demands, Keane is likely to leave the team, among other young players, Ronaldo is the most headache, if Dong Fangzhuo is given a salary increase, then Ronaldo will inevitably follow the salary increase. Ferguson also has to consider the salaries of new signings next season.
On the forward line, if Ruud van Nistelrooy transfers, it could indeed free up salary space. His weekly salary reached £84,600.
If you deal with some more players, the salary space can continue to be freed up......
Manchester United had been prepared to slash their spending on player wages because of the sharp drop in revenues. A few days ago, because of Ferdinand's contract extension, Manchester United CEO Gil also warned their players: "The era of high player salaries paid by clubs is over, and they will no longer pay big money for stars." ”
Manchester United's players' wages have risen from 40.8 per cent of the club's total expenditure in the past year to 46.1 per cent, and if nothing is changed, it is estimated that it will rise to 50 per cent, or half of the spending, next year.
"We want to avoid a financial crisis that could come with high wages, the days of high spending by clubs on players are behind us and it's impossible for players to expect a 15-20 per cent wage increase," Gill said. ”
But when Ferdinand's contract renewal was completed, I didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo's problem to pop up, and the CEO of Manchester United was equivalent to a fart.
As one of the most important players in Ferguson's team-building plan, Ferguson is not going to be like Gil.
At this time, he directly put an empty contract in front of Dong Fangzhuo and his agent Lin Xu, and quietly watched the reaction of the two of them.
The contract is empty, you fill it out casually......
This means that there is enough respect for Dong Fangzhuo, if the amount is directly written on the contract, then Dong Fangzhuo and they don't even have room to maneuver, this is called talking, and it is called the overlord clause.
Since he is here, he has to take this matter seriously, in fact, Lin Xu and Dong Fangzhuo have been discussing the renewal of the contract and the salary increase for a long time.
Playing football is a profession, and the higher the salary, the better, but you also have to match your performance and get a salary that matches your value.
Previously, Lin Xu had analyzed that it was impossible to get the highest salary, and Manchester United would not agree, because Dong Fangzhuo was only 20 years old and only had a good performance for one season. I don't know how many players have been brilliant in one season this year, but in the blink of an eye, they will be impotently in the second season, Manchester United cannot be wronged and pay salaries casually.
But Dong Fangzhuo's performance can definitely get a very considerable salary, but he has to have a reference, and the reference is Rooney.
Rooney performed exceptionally well at Everton last season, so after joining Manchester United, Ferguson did not hesitate to give Rooney a weekly salary of 60,000, which is considered medium in the Manchester United team, and even higher than Ronaldo's 40,000 weekly salary.
Combined with the performance of Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary should be around 60,000 yuan, which is the most reasonable, and even higher than Rooney is not a problem at all.
And Vanney's weekly salary is 84,600 pounds, although Vanney's goals this season are inconsistent and his form is not good enough, but he has long proven himself to be a world-class striker, so he can get such a high salary, and Dong Fangzhuocai is in his first year, and it is impossible to directly raise his salary to this extent.
Therefore, Lin Xu felt that Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary should be between 60,000 and 70,000 yuan per week.
People, don't be too greedy, just be suitable.
When he saw Ferguson give a blank contract just now, Lin Xu was also surprised, he didn't expect Ferguson to play this trick.
Dong Fangzhuo and Lin Xu glanced at each other, and they both seemed to understand the meaning in each other's eyes. Generally speaking, when it comes to salaries and contracts, the agent is usually in person, and the player does not need to talk about it, as long as the player expresses his wishes.
But Lin Xu didn't say anything this time, because the two of them discussed it, and the weekly salary was parallel to Rooney, so that the news media would not make irresponsible remarks and so on.
It's just that when Dong Fangzhuo took the pen and was about to fill in the weekly salary figure, he still had an idea and changed the originally negotiated figure.
When Dong Fangzhuo put pen to paper, although Ferguson's face was forcibly calm, his neck had been stretched to the old elder.
When Dong Fangzhuo filled in a 6 character, his heart instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally put down a big stone.
But Dong Fangzhuo hasn't finished writing yet.
The figure he eventually gave was £60,001.
Hey, why £1 more? Ferguson was curious.
But when he thought about it, he immediately understood.
It's a status symbol......
Who is the player on the £60,000-a-week salary? Rooney.
Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary is not high, as long as it is the same as Rooney, but it is 1 pound more.
That's really not a lot of £1, but it means something very different...... 8)
