Chapter 188 Suspension of Salary

When Chang Sheng read the news about Getafe's deep debt crisis from the newspaper, he was also taken aback. [WW]////

Although he knows that Getafe is somewhat financially tight. For example, during the summer transfer period, he was required to raise funds by himself. A club with sufficient funds would never be able to do such a thing.

But he also just thinks that Getafe's finances are a little tight and they need to live a tighter life. Never expected to be so nervous.

This is no longer "financial strain", this is "economic crisis"!

Once such a major event is encountered, it cannot be resolved in a short while, and the team's performance will definitely be affected.

Chang Sheng had a headache...how could such a thing happen when the situation was so good?

Chang Sheng has learned a lot about the economic crisis of football clubs in the future. He also knows that Spanish football clubs, in particular, have the most bankruptcies and reorganizations.

Many clubs are struggling to make ends meet, and wage arrears are even more common.

For so many years, almost every year before the start of the new season, you can hear about the players of the La Liga and La Liga teams uniting to go on strike, which may cause the new season of the Spanish Football League to start normally.

When he heard the news, as a fan, he was only worried and dissatisfied that he might not be able to see the games of giant teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. There isn't a real intuition about the club's financial crisis.

After all, in far away China, what does the economic crisis of the Spanish club have to do with him? What does it have to do with him if the players can't pay their wages? What does the club's bankruptcy have to do with him?

But he didn't expect that when he was reborn into this world, he actually encountered an economic crisis...

And it still affects his team!

His first reaction was—a lie? This is fake? Those media can't find anything to hack themselves and started hacking the Getafe club?

But Kate Gracie poured cold water on him first.

"What I said above should be true. The restructuring of Spanish football clubs was a big deal back then. Many clubs were conquered and asked to rectify within a time limit, changing from a membership system to a shareholding system. I know all about this." Kate Gracie Anyone who has never cared about football knows that it is indeed a big deal.

"I don't know what kind of businessman Francisco Flores is,

But I don't think he should be that kind of particularly rich. You said that their family is in the olive oil business and has an olive plantation? That is a very traditional businessman, and this kind of export-oriented businessman has been 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 most of the team's shares. Became the president of the team, and then he changed hands and mortgaged Getafe to the bank to get more loans..."

Chang Sheng was stunned: "Can you still do this?"

"What can't be done?" Kate Gracie found Chang Sheng's question very strange. {hand}{hit}{}"This is a quick and easy way to get cash.[] And there is no risk at all. Because almost all football clubs in the world are operating in debt..."

Since he wanted to become Changsheng's agent and set foot in the sports world, he had to do the necessary homework, and Kate Gracie had put in a lot of effort in this regard. Now when it comes to those things in football, he can also speak clearly.

"If you look closely at the financial statements of each club, you will find that they are in debt every year, even giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona are no exception, and even the larger the team, the greater the debt."

Chang Sheng knew this, but what he didn't expect was what Flores did. It is possible to cash out in this way...

"After Flores mortgaged the Getafe club, he obtained enough funds. According to the newspaper, he used the money to replace the arrears he owed when he acquired the shares, and there was still a part of it. Just as The team’s operating funds. This is also a normal practice, nothing surprising. The only problem is that Getafe’s results are too bad, the market is too small, and the development space is limited. They haven’t made any money for so many years. Lores has to throw money in by himself. I don’t even care about repaying the debt. I pay a little bit every year, not even enough for the interest. The debt becomes a snowball, and it gets bigger and bigger, and the tail is too big.”

Kate Gracie is a professional in finance and understands better than Chang Sheng. Since he has said so, Chang Sheng can't believe it even if he doesn't want to.

The next day, many reporters gathered at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, and they all came to the club to verify this matter.

The manager of the club, Moscow, was so busy that his feet almost touched the ground. In addition to receiving the reporters who had already arrived, he also had to answer the phone constantly.

But his whole body didn't look tired, but a kind of morbid excitement.

He was full of energy, shouting and commanding the club staff. In front of the media, he showed the image of a calm and calm club manager.

In stark contrast to him is the club's president, Francisco Flores.

He was sitting on the boss chair in his office, as if he was stuck in a soft chair.

Chang Sheng sat on the sofa diagonally opposite him.

There are only two of them in this office.

Chang Sheng was called by the chairman when he just arrived at the team's training base. He had a premonition that calling him by the chairman should not be an ordinary thing, and it might have something to do with what the media reported yesterday.

So he handed over the training directly to Rudy Gonzalez, and went to Mr. Chairman's office by himself.

When he pushed open the door and saw Flores looking down, he already knew the answer in his heart.

I'm afraid that what the media said is true.

Getafe has encountered a big and unimaginable crisis. \/\/\/\/

Seeing him coming in, Flores didn't stand up to welcome him, let alone say anything. [Ye*zi] [Yu*you] just continued to sink into the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing him like this, Chang Sheng didn't say a word.

"You are the head coach of the team, so I can't hide this from you, Chang." Flores, who was trapped in the chair, finally spoke after being silent for a while.

"Is what the newspaper said true?" Chang Sheng asked.

Flores did not answer Chang Sheng's question, but continued: "The bank called me this morning. They have a team that will enter the club and start checking the accounts. At the same time, they will freeze our club's funds. account. That is to say... the club can't pay your salaries on time..."

This sentence exploded directly into Chang Sheng's mind like a thunderbolt.

As of now, the debt crisis is still a little far away from him.

But when the boss said that he would stop paying his salary, he knew it. The debt crisis has really affected him.

Suspension of salary means that he will have no source of income.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s just to stop his salary alone. He still has a lot of money in the stock market. During this period, thanks to the operation of Kate Gracie and his team, Chang Sheng’s assets have doubled several times .

At worst, if you withdraw some money, you will still be able to live.

But if the salaries of the players are suspended, it will kill Chang Sheng...

No matter how many dreams professional players have, they still have to give priority to realistic issues.

If you can't even afford to eat. What dreams are you talking about?

Chang Sheng can't ask them to fight for a great goal.

The first purpose of players playing football is to make money, to support their families.

Suspension of salary means smashing their jobs.

Then they have to work hard to upgrade, Chang Sheng thinks this is just a dream.

It can be said that once the bank really froze the club's fund account. The club has no money to pay salary, and I am afraid that I will be poured a bucket of ice water on my promotion...

There are serious wage arrears in Spanish football, which happen from time to time. As far as Chang Sheng knows, there have been several cases. Some of them are owed by one or two clubs. Some are owed wages by dozens of clubs.

Chang Sheng really didn't expect that now it's his team's turn.

He suddenly felt very tired. He wanted to lead a team to realize his dream and pursue the ideal road, but it was so difficult...

At the beginning, no team was willing to take me, and then Getafe was able to accommodate me, and I had to fight wits and courage with the young talents of the youth team. Fighting with the obedient main players, fighting with the general manager of the club, and fighting with the eye-catching media.

Of course, fighting with people is a lot of fun.

But now the problem he encountered was not as simple as fighting with others.

The club's debt crisis is really beyond Chang Sheng's ability. Even if he has a Wall Street financial expert, he can't handle Getafe's affairs. Although he has a little money now, he doesn't know how much money Getafe owes, but he feels that his little money is definitely not worth mentioning compared with it, and he is not a living Lei Feng, why should he give away his own money? Where does the money go to the club? Unless the club is his own, then he is obliged...

He fought with so many people, and he didn't hesitate to tear his face, why? It's not to be able to lead the team to upgrade, and take Getafe as one of his foundations.

The great situation he worked so hard to manage is now about to be destroyed because of this problem that he can't solve at all.

To be honest, Chang Sheng was a little disheartened.

This is rare.

He had never been disheartened since he was born again, not even when he had only two dollars in his pocket and couldn't find a job.

But now, some things cannot be decided by him alone.

Flores also saw Chang Sheng's depression.

In fact, he was also very helpless, because there was really nothing he could do. In fact, he already knew that he could not afford to repay the debt, but as long as the bank knew the truth, he could still delay. During this time, he could do many things, such as renewing the contract with Chang Sheng. But now this matter has been exposed in advance, and the bank knows the truth, and they are very angry. In order to prevent the loss of the assets of the Getafe club they own, freezing the fund account must be used.

After this incident was exposed, everything was over.

He will step down after the debt expires, and the team will also be greatly affected by the salary arrears. Don't talk about upgrading at that time. Even if it can be relegated, it is not bad.

His only wish now is to allow the club to renew the contract with Chang Sheng, otherwise why is he so eager to let Moscow renew the contract with Chang Sheng? He has fully realized the ability of winning constantly. A club is divided into two departments: operation and competition. In terms of competition, winning is a rare talent.

So if you can keep the victorious, even if Getafe will not belong to him in the future, then the future of this team will not be too bad.

But as the economic crisis was exposed, this matter could not go on.

If it's just financial constraints, it's okay to say. The club is divided into two departments, business and athletics. Generally, matters on the commercial side will not affect the athletics department. But as long as it is arrears of wages, it is different. Do not pay the players salaries, but also expect the players to work hard for the team?

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng no longer knew how he got out of the chairman's office, nor did he remember what Mr. Chairman said to him in the end.

There is only one thing on his mind right now - Getafe is already like this. Where do I go from here?

Can he still lead the team to the First Division? How far can he go in the King's Cup?

If he asked his players to work hard, and the players asked themselves: "Coach, the club doesn't give us any money, what do you want us to use to fight?", how would he answer and face it?

For this dream? For the ideal?

Is that thing edible?

He knows that many players don't have the concept of financial management, spend as much as they earn, and have very little savings. Now that the club doesn't pay wages, these people can't get rid of the blame. That's not an exaggeration.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, let alone his head coach?

In the midst of depressing cranky thoughts there. A piercing voice rang in his ear.

"Chang, I know that no one wants such a thing to happen, but it seems that the contract renewal negotiations between us can't go on for the time being..."

He looked up and saw Moscodo's face that could not tell whether it was laughing or crying.

The other party spread his hands, shrugged and shook his head: "Look. I don't even know if I can stay in this club after April..."

"Your tone sounds a little excited, Mr. Moscow." When Chang Sheng saw this annoying manager, his previous frustration was swept away for some reason, and he was full of fighting spirit instead-he must not be in this Show no fighting spirit in front of the damn guy! So he said coldly.

Moscow froze for a moment, then waved his hands and shook his head: "You really know how to joke, Chang. The club has encountered such a big trouble. How could I be excited? I can't even cry! You see, I'm so busy today... ...Stop talking, I still have things to do, I'm leaving first..."

After speaking, he walked past Chang Sheng and left in a hurry.

Chang Sheng turned around and looked at Moscow's back.

The relationship between the two of them is not good. They usually meet in the club. If there is no need, they will never talk to each other, greet each other, and greet each other. This kind of thing is impossible for the two of them.

But today, Moscow took the initiative to chat with him uncharacteristically, and said a few words.

Abnormal...

He didn't know why, but he just felt that the club was in debt crisis, but the general manager seemed very excited, as if he was expecting this to happen...

He frowned and retracted his gaze, Moscow had already disappeared at the other end of the corridor.

He decided not to think about that bitch Moscow for the time being, but to think about his situation and what to do in the future.

This is the business.

ps, although there are still a few votes short, but I really can't wait, so I will release the addition first~

Look, now there are fewer and fewer authors like me who are dedicated to readers and wish to update more!

So everyone has to vote!

In addition, historically, during the same period, the Getafe club did experience an economic crisis, and Flores, who had been in charge of the club for nine years, also stepped down because of this.

This is all true.
