Chapter 376 One Pound Contract

There are always some changes in the new season. In addition to the new jerseys, their new stadium is about to open in the near future.

After winning the Champions League, Arsenal has been officially recognized as one of the giants.In the past, although Arsenal were brilliant in England, they were not considered a top team in Europe.

It can be seen from the Champions League points that Arsenal have always been the second-tier team in the Champions League these years. They have always been ranked ninth and tenth, but they just cannot enter the first-class array.

But if you count the European War points after winning this year, Arsenal will definitely become the first team.

For Arsenal, this means that the competitors they will face next season may also be weaker.

Anyone who can face an easier opponent will gladly accept it.

Shao Bo is not a masochist, so he has no interest in facing the most difficult guy every time.

After the new jersey display, Arsenal, which has entered the preparation period for the new season, is also training for their title defense.

Originally, Arsenal had just won the championship, and they should rely on their current fame to go to other countries for pre-match training and pan for gold by the way.

Otherwise, would such a good opportunity be wasted soon?

Not to mention the team that won the Champions League, even if he didn't even play, just because Sun Jihai, who entered the 24-man roster, got a Champions League gold medal, he has already won the favor of many Chinese advertisers, and his value has risen sharply.If the Chinese team does well in the Asian Cup this year, then Sun Jihai will definitely get more attention.

Because of preparing for the Asian Cup, Sun Jihai has not yet returned to the team to report, but Shao Bo also gave him enough vacation.With Lauren and Ram, Shao Bo doesn't need Sun Jihai to come back in a hurry.

But because of the European Cup this year, Shao Bo is not willing to go out to pan for gold during the competition year.

Originally, the players had to go out for the country after a season of hard work. After that, their physical condition would not be as good as before, and they had to go through a long period of recuperation.

Shao Bo can't forgive himself if the player's condition has to decline even more for tens of millions of pounds during such a critical preparation period for the new season.

Winning the Champions League and the Premier League, just a lot more prize money than in previous years is enough to make up for the shortfall. Moreover, after Arsenal replaces the new stadium, there will definitely be a substantial increase in match day income.

Shao Bo’s ticket price has not risen as much as the Emirates Stadium, but because the number of spectators is 1 more than that of the Emirates Stadium, I believe that Shao Bo, who has a super high attendance rate at Arsenal, can also predict their games daily income.

At least double it!
If it weren't for the drag on the stadium construction funds, if it wasn't for the oil tycoon Abramovich's involvement in the Premier League.Arsenal's nickname of "Bank of England" will last for many years, and Manchester United is probably the only one in England that can compete financially with Arsenal.

However, the new stadium is about to open. Although Arsenal's new stadium is inferior to Manchester United in terms of stadium capacity, the consumption level in North London is relatively high, and the ticket price is even higher. Comparing the two, it is Arsenal's match day. will receive higher income.

Regarding the issue of ticket sales, basically no one will pay too much attention.

Because the pre-sale window for Arsenal's new season tickets has just opened, all season tickets have been sold out in less than a day.

More importantly, the private boxes that allowed the club to earn higher income were also booked by local tyrants.

There are 180 ordinary boxes, 130 intermediate boxes, and 49 high-level boxes.The lowest-end box starts at [-] euros, while the highest-end one costs as much as [-] euros.

But even so, there are still rich people who are not short of money and are willing to spend money for Arsenal's box.In London, this is the most successful club and the most upscale stadium. Many people will spend money to buy one as a status symbol even if they don't have time to watch football all the time.

It's just that not all of these boxes will be sold.

Each level will set aside a few rooms to prevent the use of distinguished guests.

But even so, these boxes alone can bring the club an annual income of more than 500 million pounds.

In order to prepare for unscrupulous price increases in the future, Shao Bo also set the rule that the box can only be purchased for a maximum of two years at a time, and then the contract will be renewed later.

Of course, almost everyone chose to sign a contract with Arsenal for the next two years. It seems that they are also frightened by Arsenal's soaring ticket prices every year.

As for whether Arsenal's box will be unattended, Shao Bo has never cared about this issue.

In his opinion, with a long and glorious history, impressive achievements, worldwide influence, and special sales skills, people will come even if it is a dilapidated building, not to mention that this is the whole of Europe. One of the most advanced and luxurious courses.

Shao Bo is wondering, if he releases all the tickets for this new season, will they all be sold out?
As many as 6000 season tickets were sold out, and Arsenal also earned about 2000 million pounds here.Moreover, the sale of the box also brought Arsenal an income of 500 million pounds. Just because of the new stadium, Arsenal suddenly had [-] million more liquidity.

Moreover, this is only season ticket and box revenue, and they haven't counted some reserved seats that will only be sold during game days.

In addition, the Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup are all based on Arsenal's results to determine the number of games.If they play well, they will get more games and sell more tickets.

Winning the Premier League title this year has brought Arsenal a profit of 3000 million pounds. Counting the 3000 million euros in the Champions League winning bonus, plus the 2000 million pounds that Campbell returned after the sale, Arsenal suddenly gained nearly 8000 pounds. million pounds of liquidity.

A total of more than 6000 million pounds of funds seems to be a lot, but in fact it cannot withstand consumption for a long time.

In addition to the repayment of high-interest loans, the renovation and development project of Highbury also needs funds, and the operation of the club, the maintenance of the stadium and training ground, and the replacement of equipment are all bottomless pits that swallow up funds.

However, the biggest hole is still the player's salary expenditure-Arsenal spends almost [-] million on this every year.

There are also nearly 2000 million needs in operation every year, equipment, turf... When a piece of turf costs 50 pounds, no amount of money is enough.

Originally, there were many uses for this money, such as dividends for shareholders.

But today's Arsenal has almost become Shao Bo's words, and he made a decision that there will be no dividends this year, so no one will object.

After several years of negotiations, Fitzman, who owns [-]% of the club's shares, took the lead in surrendering. After paying a huge price, Shao Bo finally got it into the hands of Mrs. Smith and Richard Carr. [-]% stake in Arsenal.

For this reason, Shao Bo spent more than when Abramovich bought Chelsea.

However, in Shao Bo's mind, this deal is very worthwhile. Even if it costs another [-] million, he will choose to buy Arsenal.And even if Chelsea gave it to him for nothing, he would sell it immediately—Shao ​​Bo would not refuse something given for nothing.

Now the entire board of directors..., now there is no board of directors, except about 90.00% of the shares are in the hands of the fans, [-]% of the shares are in the hands of Shao Bo.

However, Shao Bo also paid a huge price for this. Many high-tech companies he invested in the United States were diluted because of his fundraising.

Fortunately, Shao Bo's ambition is not in the United States, and it is enough to run Arsenal well.

The shares are all in the hands of Shao Bo, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people, but the achievements Shao Bo has made for Arsenal over the years are obvious to all. Rapid development, so most of them have no opinion.

A small number of stubborn people declared that they would never go to the new stadium in the future, but this declaration was immediately welcomed by the majority of fans.

It's not that they agree with the practice of refusing to go to the new stadium to support the team and voting with their feet.It's because these fans are suffering from not being able to buy tickets, and now they can leave a few competitors, even when they are queuing, it is much easier.

Arsenal's new stadium season tickets are very difficult to buy. Although the club released more than 10 tickets in one go, there are still tens of thousands of people hoping to buy Arsenal's season tickets.

No matter how high the price is, it can't stop the fans from yearning for the new stadium, because the season ticket acquisition mechanism is "one person quits and one person joins". If the top season ticket holders are unwilling to give up their power, even the club There is no right to forcibly stop it.

So fans who didn't get season tickets had to wait in the queue first.

But just to qualify for the queue, fans have to pay £20 for it.In this way, the fans in London are still enjoying it.

More than [-] names are on the queuing list. Even if Arsenal builds two new stadiums, they will not be able to accommodate so many fans.

What people don't notice, however, is that Arsenal are raking in millions of pounds just from the list qualification fee alone.

Those with strong abilities can earn more; earn more and spend more.

Shao Bo led the team to win several Premier League championships, broke through the team history and completed 53 unbeaten games, filling the gap in the team history of the Champions League...

This pile of achievements is enough for him to get a coaching contract no less than Eriksson's nearly ten million pounds in the England national team.

Not to mention that now that he is in charge of the club, he can set as much salary as he wants to set for himself.

That being the case, when Shao Bo gave himself the contract, he set the annual salary of the new contract to be one pound.

One pound!

David Dane, who helped in charge of the details, was stunned by this price!

What's the difference between this and not taking a penny?
　The first update!What is the name of the new stadium?It was revealed today.
