The team's salary increase is a very serious matter.

Xiao Yu is indeed rich, but he doesn't think that a team's salary structure can be balanced by money alone.

It's like Xiao Yu's Manchester City in his previous life, buying big-name stars one after another, with higher salaries than the other, and frequently breaking various salary records, they are indeed rich, but what is the result? The harmony within the team has been broken down by the irrational salary structure.

This is something that any big club must consider.

In addition, Xiao Yu also has to consider another problem, that is, the current batch of players are very young and have a bright future in the future.

A club's salary structure must be reasonable, and if there is no planned salary increase, it will be absolutely fatal!

To this end, Xiao Yu specially asked the people from the Ministry of Commerce to evaluate the club's operating conditions, as well as the performance of the players and other aspects, in order to formulate a set of salary increase plans.

This salary increase will bring the salaries of several core players in the team to League One level, even young stars such as Curtis and Cech will also reach the upper reaches of League Two, and everyone else will be improved accordingly, and the lowest can also reach League Two.

As a result, the salary bill of the new Manchester United will increase significantly compared to the past.

The report given by the Ministry of Commerce is that this year's new Manchester United is operating very well outside the stadium, especially attracting several powerful sponsors, and the current team is performing very well.

But before that, Xiao Yu felt that there was a person whose salary had to be raised first!

…………

…………

"Dut...... Mr. Xiao Yu, Mr. Mourinho and Mr. Jorge Mendes have arrived! ”

The voice of the secretary came from the phone, and then a knock was heard on the door.

The first to walk in was Jose Mourinho, the now well-known manager in England, who looked so radiant that his side had recently won back-to-back games in League Two, extending the gap to second-placed Brentford to seven points, which is a remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, the new United also reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, where they won 2-1 against third-placed Wolves in League One in the quarter-finals at the end of November, after a hard-fought match.

The opponent of the semi-finals of the new Manchester United is Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League, which is currently ranked 4th in the Premier League and its strength should not be underestimated, but the dark horse of the new Manchester United has come all the way and eliminated those teams that are not weak.

It is with the team's recent performances that Mourinho has become more confident, and when he faced the media about the team's Carabao Cup goals, his previous slogan was how far he can go, and training is more important than anything else, but recently, he shouted the slogan of winning the championship for the first time.

In addition to the new Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, the other two teams in the League Cup semi-finals are Blackburn Rovers and Fulham, which are not super strong teams, which also makes Mourinho more confident when facing these teams.

Mendes is Mourinho's agent who has just changed recently, and the Portuguese is not very well-known yet, but Xiao Yu knows very well that he will be a major agent in Europe in the future.

But he is not the kind of person who is high-profile and frequently instigates the players, he is more low-key and has a stronger skill in handling relationships.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu!" As soon as Mendes entered the door, Mourinho immediately smiled and introduced his agent to Xiao Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Mendez, please be seated!" Xiao Yu stood up and greeted with a smile.

Mendez followed with a smile: "It's okay to call me Jorge, Mr. Xiao Yu, I am good friends with Jose, so it's better to call it like this!" ”

Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders, and the three of them sat down.

"I believe that you have been brought here this time, and the reason is very clear to you, Jose has been doing a good job at Manchester United for more than a year, I can't ask for more from him, and I have also taken into account the current circumstances, so I decided to give him a new contract."

Jose Mourinho's excellent coaching at the new Manchester United has attracted the attention of many teams, and now in addition to the rumors of the new Manchester United players, there are also rumors of Mourinho's scandals, and there are often so-and-so teams looking at him and the like.

Xiao Yu checked that the rumors in this regard were not groundless, nor were they deliberately spread by Mourinho and his agent.

According to the relationship between Xiao Yu and Mourinho for more than a year, there is a tacit understanding between Xiao Yu and Mourinho, whether they are coaching the team or communicating with each other, they are very transparent.

Mourinho hates players to make small moves behind his back, and he also knows that Xiao Yu doesn't like people to make small moves, so Xiao Yu believes that he will not be stupid enough to use this kind of behavior to fight for his own interests.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu handed over a contract document, Mendes opened it and looked at it, roughly the terms were similar to the previous contract, but the annual salary was doubled, but the contract period below was not filled.

Seeing this, Mendes looked at Xiao Yu in some surprise, he always kept smiling, it was difficult to figure out, so he handed the document to Mourinho, who immediately laughed when he saw it.

Mendes is also a smart person, after a little pondering, he immediately understood what Xiao Yu meant, and dared to let Mourinho fill it in by himself, seeing that he likes to fill in a few years, he will fill in a few years, which shows Xiao Yu's great confidence in Mourinho, and at the same time makes him impressed by Xiao Yu's ability.

When getting along in private, Mourinho often mentioned Xiao Yu to Mendes, he said that he has seen so many club presidents and experienced so many people and things, but there has never been a person like Xiao Yu, who makes him admire him like this and do things for him willingly.

Mendes originally thought that Mourinho was praising his boss, but he was still very interested in Xiao Yu, but when they met for the first time today, Xiao Yu's hand obviously surprised him a little, but he also admired it.

That's what you need to do when dealing with someone with a surname like Mourinho!

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I believe in this contract, and there is no need to talk about anything more, right?" Mendes feigned helplessness.

Xiao Yu and Mourinho both laughed, it is clear that the salary, bonuses and other aspects listed in the contract are impeccable, not comparable to the high salaries offered by those Premier League teams, but at least in line with the highest annual salary that the new Manchester United can currently give.

And don't forget, there are also clauses in the contract that guarantee that Mourinho's annual salary will increase year by year according to the results obtained, and if this contract is followed, if the new Manchester United can be promoted from League One next season, Mourinho's annual salary will skyrocket again.

"Jorge, our club is different from other teams, we have a well-established mechanism for evaluating the value of players, you can ask Jose, we will not allow players who contribute to be paid a low salary, you see we are going to give the players another salary recently, this is because our club is doing well, the results are good, they deserve it!"

Regarding this issue, Mendes also learned from Mourinho that he knows that the new Manchester United is currently reformulating the club's salary structure, and will increase the player's salary on the current basis.

Through this incident, Mendes really found that Mourinho's evaluation of Xiao Yu is correct, he is not a person who wants to make profits from the club, he is really different from other club owners.

According to the report from the evaluation panel, the highest paid team will also be Juninho Jr., followed by Hleb and Malouda, who will be the three highest-paid players in the team due to their excellent performances over the past two seasons.

As for the other players, the club has also combined the evaluation of the head coach and coaching staff, as well as their performance on the pitch, and set them a second and third tier of salary, but in any case, their salary will be increased from the current level.

"It seems that your club has entered the business situation of a good surname, which is really surprising!" Mendez was amazed.

'No, not yet, Jorge, it's going to take time, it's just that we've had a great year and we've catered to a lot of big Manchester companies, so it's given us something in business, but it's not enough, like our salaries aren't close to the level of some of the League One and Premier League teams.

From this sentence, Mendes can hear that Xiao Yu's goals are not just limited to the status quo, he has more ambitious goals and plans, as Mourinho said, his ambitions are big and far.

"By the way, Jorge, I heard that you are very well connected in Portugal!" Xiao Yu asked suddenly.

"It's okay!" Mendes replied somewhat modestly, in front of Xiao Yu, he really had nothing to boast about.

Xiao Yu smiled, "I want you to help me find a winger." ”

Mendes laughed, "That's okay, there are two of Portugal's most famous wingers right now, one is Benfica's Simao, and the other is Sporting Lisbon's rising star Quaresma, but frankly, Mr. Xiao Yu, I don't think these two players have the possibility of defecting to the new Manchester United, even if you can make a sky-high price." ”

Salary is important for players, but so is the future, especially for talented players who are not able to convince the likes of Simão and Quaresma to move to the lower divisions of England.

"No, no, Jorge, I know very well where we are and I know that we can't attract such stars, so I can't take a fancy to them, the other person I fancy is also at Sporting Lisbon, 16 years old, who has just signed a professional contract with Sporting Lisbon, and I hope that next summer, he will be able to appear at the new Manchester United!"
