Chapter 576 Queen's Park Rangers' New Boss
Queens Park Rangers, located in Sheppard Forest, Hammersmith Fulham, London, was once translated as "Royal Garden Rangers" by the Chinese media. This is a football club founded in 1882 with a very long history.
It was formed by the merger of two regional football clubs "St. Yode" and "Chris Church Rangers". At the beginning of its establishment, most of the players came from the Queen's Park area in northwest London.So, this club always thinks they have a trace of royal blood.
It is a founding member of the Premier League, but its historical record is not good.
In history, he has only won the FA Cup runner-up once, the League Cup champion once, the League Cup runner-up once, and the secondary league champion twice.As for the top league, the highest result is the runner-up, which dates back to the 70s.
So this team really doesn't have much to show for it.
Queens Park Rangers' home ground is Loftus Road Stadium, built in 1916 and is one of the oldest stadiums in the Premier League.Because of the narrow seating space, it is nicknamed "Legoland".The stadium has 18200 seats and can accommodate up to 18400 spectators.
The club has a large number of fans, and there are many diehard fans. It can sell nearly 1 season tickets every season, and the attendance rate is very high.
The team's facilities are currently a bit aging, and the youth training facilities are the hardest hit.The team's youth training has hardly produced any decent talents, and the team has not paid much attention to the youth training camp in the past ten years.After finally cultivating a Sterling, he sold it to Liverpool for a mere £200 million.
These materials are all supplemented by Li Cardo recently.Just a few days ago, the acquisition finally came to an end when he bought Queens Park Rangers for £4150 million.
At this moment, he was sitting in the large conference room of the administration building, and the training ground was not far from the window. At this time, the training ground was very quiet because the team was on vacation.In front of him sat the main staff of the club.He looked over one by one.
Operations Director Felipe Beard, Director Paladini (this guy is Italian and a close friend of the former chairman, Ricardo reminded himself), Football Director Indian Bahia, main coach Mick Jones, others The first-team coaches include Kool, Jepsen, Ruth, Galen, Bill Ham, team doctor Cox and Patel, and scout Randall.
As for the team's head coach, Mark Hughes, because Ricardo was about to change coaches, he had already broken up with the club peacefully, so he didn't come here today.
Ricardo has not had time to put his own people in key positions, after all, he has just completed the acquisition.
It was June, and the weather in London was very hot, but everyone was dressed more formally, after all, this was their first meeting with the team's new boss.If you want to keep your job, you need to build a good relationship with your new boss.
After waiting for a while, Licado said leisurely: "Hello everyone, I think everyone should know me. But starting today, I have an additional identity, and I will be the boss of Queens Park Rangers. In the future, I will Hopefully it will be a long time, and I will work with you to make Queens Park Rangers, an old team, a famous club in Europe and one of the biggest clubs in Europe."
"I will make some adjustments to the club's personnel, but please don't worry, even if we can't continue to work together, you will get very generous compensation. I am a very humane boss."
"The goal of the team in the new season is not relegation, but to enter the Champions League and strive to achieve good results in the FA Cup and League Cup."
Ricardo could see it clearly, and many people showed disapproving expressions on their faces.
He smiled: "Maybe you think this goal is too ambitious. But I want to say that I will join this team as a player."
Shock.Everyone's eyes were full of shock and puzzlement.
What's wrong with you, leaving the championship team alone and running to this newly promoted team to play?How many years of your youth do you think can be wasted?
"Youth is short, and I don't want to spend my best time to avoid relegation. I want to continue to play in the Champions League, lead the team to rise quickly, and become a strong contender for the league title every year. Therefore, I propose the current Goals: Top four in the league, FA Cup. Next season, we will try to challenge for the league title."
"In order to achieve this goal, I will increase investment in the team. This year I will inject 3 million pounds, and will attract no less than 5000 million pounds of sponsorship for the team, which will greatly increase the team's income level. In the transfer In the market, I will invest 2 million pounds to rebuild the team, hire a talented head coach, buy stars, and 1 million pounds will be used to improve the club's salary structure. In addition, starting from the near future, the club will improve training facilities, The youth training facilities should be updated. We want to have the best training facilities in Europe and the top youth training base in the UK."
When Ricardo talked about 3 million pounds, everyone's necks were red.My God, when did the club see so much money?
Even if they were a little cautious before, the staff who resisted the acquisition, now shouted in their hearts: "It's so fragrant!"
"Everyone, let's work hard together!" Licardo didn't say much, and quickly ended his speech, and began to let the staff report on their work.
As he listened, he thought about the club's financial situation.
The financial situation of the team is unexpectedly good, and there is no debt at present. The former owner, as a shrewd Italian, was unwilling to operate in debt, and did not leave a mess for Ricardo.
Ricardo checked the team's income and expenditure last season.Last season, the team was in the British Championship, and the broadcasting share was relatively small, barely able to maintain a balance of payments.
But to be promoted to the Premier League this season, you can get at least 8000 million pounds just for the broadcasting share, and the sponsorship contract of the team can be re-signed. income in pounds sterling.
Of course, there are a lot of expenses, but the team will definitely make a profit.
If Ricardo joins the team as a player, his commercial value can bring the team an income of at least 8000 million pounds a year.This is scary.
Of course, it will take a lot of effort for him to join the team, and he will have to suffer a heavy financial loss.But it has to be done.
For this reason, he would rather sell part of Facebook's shares.
He is serious, the team will break into the Champions League this year, win the FA Cup or the League Cup, and he will continue to play in the Champions League next season. A player like him will never be satisfied without the Champions League The team of the game.
So this year we have to invest a lot, and we have to wave checks around to buy people, even though the team has the highest combat effectiveness in the Premier League.
Of course, he won't worry about buying the wrong person.Who can be kicked out in the future, and which famous young stars will hurt Zhong Yong, they know.
At this moment, Ricardo is full of ambition.
It feels really cool to play the real version of FM.
