Chapter 246: The Great Event in Valencia (Second Update)
A winless run of four rounds is just a normal adjustment to the team's form, and Valencia Asia Pacific has gone well in the previous two seasons, and it is only now that it can be considered normal.
But for some, it's a great opportunity.
Two days after this game, there is a big news out.
For a time, the whole of Valencia ignored the four-game winless run of the perennial winning team, and ignored the generalist discord between the perennial winning team and Ronaldinho.
At this time, Valencia's equity change is the biggest thing!
“…… We learned from people familiar with the matter that Soler had successfully acquired 30,000 shares of Francisco Roigue...... This made Soler the number one shareholder of the club! ”
"This is definitely the worst news for Jameotti! The last time Valencia changed their chairmanship, there were three rivalries, with Otti and Soler the most fiercely contested...... On that occasion, Otti was elected president of the club as the first shareholder. And this time, what Soler will do when he has the first most shares, it is self-evident! ”
"Having succeeded in becoming the number one shareholder of the club, Soler immediately made a request for an early election of the chairman...... It is reported that this request has been agreed by the board of directors of Valencia FC! ”
……
Chang Sheng was eating breakfast when the newspaper came to this news.
He was so surprised that he didn't even bother to eat the omelette in his mouth, and stared blankly at the newspaper.
Soler became the largest shareholder?
Does that mean Soler will be the club's president?
Isn't that why he proposed an early election of the club's president?
If Soler becomes president of the club......
Chang Sheng suddenly felt that things were going to go badly.
※※※
When Chang Sheng came to the team, he found that the coach and the players were discussing this matter, but they didn't have the kind of worry that Chang Sheng had, they just treated it as a lively gossip.
After all, after the change of ownership, the impact on the team is very small, at least they think so. No matter who is the chairman, the team always has to play, so everyone's job still has to be done.
Even if Soler comes to power, won't Valencia need a win and a title?
With this mentality, the Valencia team was very little affected by this incident, and everything was normal in training or something.
This is the only thing that makes Chang Sheng feel gratified.
While everyone is training, they will discuss this matter, and they don't know who will die in the final presidential election.
The conflict between the current president of the club, Jamedetti, and the vice-president of the club, Soler, is well known in Valencia. The two have been fighting since the time of Cortez, and they have been fighting until now.
However, many people feel that even if Soler initiates impeachment, he may not be able to successfully impeach Ottie.
After all, Valencia had a good record under Otti.
There seems to be no reason to abandon such a club president with good results.
But Chang Sheng, who is familiar with the direction of history, is not so optimistic.
He remembers that the historical Valencia did change the president of the club this season.
And Valencia at that time was just as good.
Benitez had previously led the team to a league title, playing in the UEFA Cup this season. For Valencia in that time and space, it was already a good result. At the time, many people considered it to be a sign of Valencia's rise.
But Soler eventually managed to pull Otti off his horse. The trigger was Valencia's two-game losing streak.
It may sound miserable, but in fact, before that, Valencia had just won the halfway league title in a row.
However, it was just two consecutive losses that allowed Soler to successfully impeach Ottie.
So the root cause is not in the grades at all.
In fact, Ottie's downfall was foreordained long ago. Because although Valencia under his rule has achieved good results, the financial pressure has always been great. Cortez stepped down, leaving his successor, Ottie, with a mess that he had to pay back.
Until now, Valencia's debts are far from being paid.
Benitez doesn't have the ability to make money in the transfer market like Chang Sheng. In addition, in order to impact the championship and play in the Champions League, Valencia has greatly increased the wages of the players, resulting in Valencia's economic pressure has been very high and has not been alleviated.
This Ottie's dismal dismissal was foreshadowed.
Valencia was restructured into a company limited by shares instead of a membership club.
So here, it is not the fans who hold the votes, but the shareholders who hold the capital.
The fans are focused on results, and the shareholders are focused on the economy. A club that has been losing money year after year and its debts cannot be repaid is naturally unsafe, because it will affect the year-end dividends of shareholders.
So in the matter of Otti's resignation, capital showed its ruthless side.
The opinion of the fans does not matter at all. As soon as the club's board of directors voted, Otti got out.
Then Soler came to power, kicking off the darkest time in Valencia in two decades.
Chang Sheng knows this history, why is he so unhappy with Soler? It's because he knows that this is not a good chairman and that the team will definitely not end well in his hands. With his amateur management skills and natural fanaticism for a change of manager, Chang Sheng felt that he simply couldn't afford to last a season under Soler.
Valencia changed six managers in four years under Soler. It's faster than Playboy's girlfriend.
Claudio Ranieri, Antonio López, Kikflores, Oscar Fernandez, Koeman, Boro, none of them, with the exception of Flores, have been in charge for a year.
Any club president who likes to change the manager is the natural enemy of the manager.
So Chang Sheng doesn't like Soler.
I didn't expect that in the end, history would come to this point.
Soler impeached Otti because of the club's financial problems.
And the club's financial problems really make Chang Sheng powerless.
He has not asked the club to increase its support for recruitment, and is basically self-financing and self-sufficient, and the transfer funds are all earned by selling players. The transfer funds that Otti gives him every season can not be used up in the end, and he can still make a lot of money.
Then it flows until the end of the season, and if he doesn't need to use it, it goes to the club and gives them free requirement. Just like when he bought Ronaldinho, more than 70 million was spent 37 million, and the rest of the money was confiscated.
But even so, Valencia's huge debt problem is only a drop in the bucket.
But if he even uses the money he earns from selling players to cover his debts, he will not be able to buy suitable players, and he will not be able to lead Valencia out of the highly competitive La Liga.
Now at least the team can play in the Champions League every year, that is a lot of income, and the prize money from the Champions League and the league championship alone can keep the club running.
If you don't invest a penny in the transfer market, you will only put the team in a vicious circle. Because there is no input, the performance declines, because the performance declines, the income decreases, because the income decreases, the investment continues to decrease, and because the input is reduced, the performance is worse......
In the long run, it will lead to the complete degradation of a team that is already very promising, or even relegation.
This is not alarmist, just at the turn of the century in La Liga football, there is such a living example.
Why did Deportivo La Coruna, known as the "Super Laco", end up declining or even relegated?
It's because their club president is too picky, and in the later period, they basically only sell people every year, but don't buy people, and Deportivo has a net income in the transfer market every year, with no expenditure at all.
Even a manager like Irueta ended up with no rice to cook, leading the team to a worse performance year after year, and finally left the class, and Deportivo La Coruna was relegated to the second division.
Either way, the win won't help the club's financial problems.
This is the second time he has had financial problems with the team while in charge.
Getafe was outright and almost bankrupt and ended up in bank custody.
Valencia is better, after all, the foundation is strong, there is still some foundation, there is no problem to maintain the normal operation of the club, but to pay back the money has to be considered in the long run.
※※※
The events of Valencia's shareholding change continue to ferment.
Francesco Roig, the former president of Valencia FC, came out to criticize Otti's governing policy: "Valencia has done so well in the past two years, why is the team's financial situation still unsatisfactory? Why do we still need to live frugally? Every year we have so much income in the transfer market, selling Ibrahimovic makes us 40 million, selling Mendieta and Aimar another 60 million, that's 100 million income, why are our debts still not settled? ”
"Royg, this despicable villain who took advantage of the fire to rob!" Ottie threw the newspaper on the table, which was printed with a picture of Francesco Roig.
"He's not taking advantage of the fire, he's just taking the opportunity to take revenge on us for robbing him of the club president in the first place." Pitage shook his head. "I used to call me to care about this matter, and I told him not to worry, the change of ownership of the club has nothing to do with the team."
Ottie nodded, "You're doing the right thing." At this time, the team cannot afford to be distracted. ”
After saying that, he wanted to continue to say a few words, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
Soler was clearly well prepared and menacing. And Roig helped him speak, although Roygue's reputation in the Valencia region was not very good, but he still had his own connections and prestige in the capital world. Although he has Cortez's support on his side, Cortés has little influence in the capital world.
And as far as he knows, some of the shareholders who would have supported him have switched to Soler's side......
This time, I'm afraid that there will be less luck.
