Chapter 188: Salary Suspension
When Chang Sheng read the news of Getafe's deep debt crisis in the newspapers, he was also taken aback.
Although he knew that Getafe was somewhat financially constrained, such as asking him to self-fund during the summer transfer window, a club with plenty of money would never be able to do such a thing.
But he only thinks that Getafe's finances are a little tight and he needs to live a little tighter. I never expected to be so nervous.
This is no longer a "fiscal crunch", this is an "economic crisis"!
Once this kind of big thing happens, it will not be solved in a while, and the team's results will definitely be affected.
Often, the victory is a headache...... How did you encounter such a thing when the situation was very good?
The economic crisis of the football club has always been known to Chang Sheng in the future. He also knows that, especially in Spain, football clubs have the most bankruptcies and restructurings.
Many clubs are struggling to make ends meet, and unpaid wages are a common occurrence.
For a few years, almost every year before the start of the new season, you can hear about the players of La Liga and La Liga teams joining forces to strike, resulting in the new season of Spanish Football Liga may not start normally.
When he heard the news at the time, as a fan, he was only worried and dissatisfied that he might not be able to see the games of giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid. There is no real sense of the club's economic crisis.
After all, in faraway China, what does the economic crisis of the Spanish club have to do with him? What does it have to do with the players not being paid? What does the club's bankruptcy have to do with him?
But I didn't expect that when he was reborn and came to this world, he really encountered an economic crisis......
And it's the team that affects him!
His first instinct was - liar, right? It's fake, right? Those media can't find anything to hack themselves and start the Black Getafe Club?
But Kate. Gracie poured cold water on him first.
"This should be true. The restructuring of Spanish football clubs was a big deal at the beginning. Many clubs have been conquered and asked to rectify within a time limit, from a membership system to a shareholding system, and I know this. "Kate. Gracie, who never cared about football, knows that it was a big deal.
"I don't know about Francisco. Flores is a businessman, but I don't think he's particularly rich. You say their family is in the olive oil business and has an olive plantation? It was a very traditional businessman, and this kind of export-oriented businessman was particularly affected. A change in exchange rates, a change in policy, or even a storm at sea can cause their business to suffer. When Getafe was restructured, Flores bought a majority stake in the team. became the president of the team, and then he mortgaged Getafe to the bank in order to get more loans......"
Chang Sheng was stunned: "Can you still do this?" ”
"What's not to do?" Kate. Gracie found the question of winning odd. "It's a quick and easy way to get cash. And there's no risk at all. Because almost all football clubs in the world operate in debt......"
Since you want to become a winning agent and get involved in the sports world, you have to do the necessary homework. Gracie still put in a lot of work. Now when it comes to those things in football, he can also head to the top.
"If you look at the financial statements of each club, you can see that they are in debt every year, even the big clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and even the bigger the team, the more debt.
Chang Sheng knew this, but what he didn't expect was Flores's approach. It is possible to cash out in this way......
"After Flores mortgaged the Getafe club, he was able to obtain enough money, which, according to the newspaper, he used to exchange the money he owed when he bought the shares, and he still had some of it left. It is used as the operating fund of the team. This is also quite normal, and there is nothing surprising about it. The only problem is that Getafe's results are too bad, the market is too small, the development space is limited, and he has not made much money for so many years, and Flores has to throw money into it. I can't take care of the debt repayment, and I can't even pay the interest enough to repay a little bit every year. Debt becomes a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and the tail is too big to fall. ”
Kate. Gracie is a professional in finance and knows more than Chang Sheng, and since he has said so, Chang Sheng can't even believe it if he doesn't want to.
The next day, a number of journalists gathered in Alfonso. Perez Stadium, they all came to verify this matter with the club.
The club's manager, Moscow, was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground, and in addition to receiving the reporters who had already arrived, he had to answer the phone constantly.
But his whole body did not appear tired, but had a morbid euphoria.
He was full of energy, shouted loudly, and commanded the club's staff. In front of the media, he showed the image of a club manager who was calm and calm in the face of danger.
In stark contrast to him is the president of the club, Francisco. Flores.
He was sitting in his office boss's chair, as if he was sunk into a soft chair.
Chang Sheng sat on the sofa diagonally opposite him.
There were just the two of them in this office.
Chang Sheng was called by Mr. Chairman when he first arrived at the team's training base, and he had a hunch that Mr. Chairman calling him should not be an ordinary thing, perhaps related to what was reported by the media yesterday.
So he gave the training directly to Rudy. Gonzalez, on his own, went to Mr. President's office.
When he pushed open the door and saw Flores' declining face, he already knew the answer in his heart.
I'm afraid that what those media say is true.
Getafe has faced a big unimaginable crisis.
Seeing him come in, Flores didn't get up to greet him, let alone say anything. Just continue to sink into the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what to think.
Seeing him like this, Chang Sheng didn't say anything.
"You're the head coach of the team, so I can't hide this from you, Chang." Flores, who was sunk in her chair, finally spoke after a few moments of silence.
"Is what the newspapers say true?" Chang Sheng asked.
Instead of answering Chang Sheng's question, Flores continued: "The bank called me this morning. They have a group that will go into the club and start checking the accounts, at the same time. They will freeze our club's funding account. Other words...... The club can't pay you on time......"
This sentence exploded directly in Chang Sheng's mind like a thunderbolt.
As of now, the debt crisis is still a little far from him.
But when the boss said he was going to stop paying, he knew. The debt crisis has really affected him.
Stopping his salary means that he will not have any source of income.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he just stops paying his salary, he still has a lot of money in the stock market. Gracie and his team's operations have multiplied the number of winning assets several times.
It's a big deal to get some money out, and you can still live.
But if the salaries of the players are stopped, it will be a constant victory......
No matter how many dreams a professional player has, he must prioritize the realities of life.
If you can't even afford to eat. What dreams are you talking about?
Constant victory can't ask them to fight for a great goal.
The first purpose of the players is to make money and to support their families.
Stopping the payment of salaries means ruining their jobs.
And then they have to work hard for the upgrade, Chang Sheng feels that this is simply a fool's dream.
It can be said that once the bank really froze the club's funding account. The club has no money to pay salaries, and I am afraid that my own promotion will be poured with ice water......
There are serious wage arrears in Spanish football, which happen from time to time, and there are several cases of Chang Sheng, some of which are owed wages by one or two clubs. Some are owed wages by dozens of clubs.
Chang Sheng really didn't expect that now it was his team's turn.
He suddenly felt very tired, and wanted to lead a team to complete his dream and pursue his ideals, but it was so difficult......
At first, no team was willing to ask for themselves, but then Getafe finally had to tolerate themselves, and they had to fight wits and courage with the young talents of the youth team, and after the fight, the youth team was promoted to the first team and had to continue to fight, fighting with those disobedient main players, fighting with the general manager of the club, and fighting with the media who were eyeing the tiger.
Of course, it's a lot of fun to fight people.
But now the problem he encountered was not as simple as fighting people.
The club's debt crisis is really beyond the scope of the ability to win. Even if he had a Wall Street financial guru, he wouldn't be able to handle Getafe's affairs. Although he has a little money now, he doesn't know how much Getafe owes, but he feels that his money is definitely not worth mentioning compared to it, and he is not a living Lei Feng, why should he invest his money in the club? Unless the club is his own, he is duty-bound......
He fought with so many people, and he didn't hesitate to tear his face, for what? It's not about being able to lead the team to promotion and using Getafe as a place to base themselves on.
The good situation he worked so hard to manage is now ruined because of this problem that he can't solve at all.
To be honest, Chang Sheng was a little disheartened.
It's a rarity.
He hadn't been so discouraged since he had been born again, not even when he had two dollars in his pocket and couldn't find a job.
But now, there are some things that he can't decide alone.
Flores also saw the downturn in his winning mood.
In fact, he was also very helpless, because there was really no way. In fact, he already knows that he can't pay off his debts, but as long as the bank knows the truth, he can still delay, and he can do many things during this time, such as renewing the contract with Changsheng. But now that the matter has been exposed in advance, the banks know the truth, and they are furious. In order to prevent the loss of the assets of the Getafe Club owned by them, it is certain that the funds will be frozen.
After this incident was exposed, it was all over.
He will be dethroned when his debts come due, and the team will be greatly affected by the lack of wages. When the time comes, let alone upgrade. It's good to be relegated.
His only wish now is to be able to renew the club's contract with Chang Sheng, otherwise why is he so desperate for Moscoto to renew his contract with Chang Sheng? He has fully realized the ability to win constantly, a club is divided into two departments: management and athletic, and it is a rare talent to win in competition.
So if he can keep the constant wins, even if Getafe does not belong to him in the future, then the future of this team will not be too bad.
But as the economic crisis came to light, it couldn't go any further.
If it's just a financial crunch, it's okay. The club is divided into two departments: commercial and athletic, and generally things on the commercial side will not affect the athletic department. But as long as it's unpaid, it's different. Players are not paid and the players are expected to work hard for the team?
Chang Sheng no longer knew how he got out of the chairman's office, and he didn't remember what Mr. Chairman said to him at the end.
There was only one thing on his mind right now - Getafe already had that. Where do you go from here?
Will he still be able to lead the team to the first division? How far can he go in the Copa del Rey?
If he asks his players to work hard, and the players ask themselves: "Coach, the club doesn't give us any money, what do you want us to fight?" How do you answer and face it?
For a dream? For the ideal?
Is that stuff edible?
He knows that many players actually have no financial concepts, they spend as much as they earn, and they don't have much savings. Now that the club doesn't pay salaries, these people can't open the pot, that's not an exaggeration.
The emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, let alone himself as the head coach?
It was there in the midst of a depressed cranky thought. A shrill voice rang in his ears.
"Chang, I know that no one wants this to happen, but it seems that the renewal negotiations between us cannot proceed for the time being......"
He looked up and saw Moscodo's face, which he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying.
The other party spread his hand, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "Look." I don't even know if I'll be able to stay at this club after April......"
"Your tone sounds a little excited, Mr. Moscodo." When Chang Sheng saw this annoying manager, his previous frustration was somehow swept away, but he was full of fighting spirit - he must not show that he has no fighting spirit in front of this damn guy! So he said coldly.
Moscow was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and shook his head: "You are really joking, Chang." The club is in such a big trouble. How could I possibly be excited? It's too late for me to cry! You see, I'm busy today...... Don't talk about it, I still have something to do, I'll go first......"
After speaking, he walked past Chang Sheng and left in a hurry.
Chang Sheng turned to look at Moskdo's back.
The relationship between the two of them is not good, they usually meet in the club, if it is not necessary, they will never talk to each other, say hello, greet, this kind of thing cannot happen to the two of them.
But today, Moskvado uncharacteristically took the initiative to talk to himself and said several words.
Abnormal......
For some reason, he just felt that the club was in a debt crisis, but the general manager seemed to be very excited, as if he was expecting this to happen......
He frowned and withdrew his gaze, and Moscoto had disappeared to the other end of the hallway.
He decided not to think about the slut Moskoro for the time being, but to think about his situation and what he wanted to do in the future.
That's the right thing.
