Chapter 579 The New Boss of Queens Park Rangers

.., the days of playing football with Ronaldo

Queens Park Rangers, located in Sheppard Grove, Hammersmith and Fulham, London, was once translated as "Royal Park Rangers" by Chinese media. This is a football club founded in 1882 and has a very long history.

It was formed by the merger of two regional football clubs, "St. Yoder" and "Chris Church Rangers". At the beginning of its establishment, most of the players came from the Queen's Park area in northwest London. Therefore, this club always thinks that it has a touch of royal blood.

It is a founding member of the Premier League, but its historical record is not good.

In history, they have only won one FA Cup runner-up, one League Cup championship, one League Cup runner-up, and two minor league championships. As for the top league, the highest result is runner-up, and that dates back to the 1970s.

So this team really doesn't have any honors to offer.

The home ground of Queens Park Rangers is Loftus Road Stadium, which was built in 1916 and is one of the oldest stadiums in the Premier League. Because of the narrow seating space, it is also nicknamed "Legoland". The stadium has 18,200 seats and can accommodate up to 18,400 spectators.

The club has a large number of fans, and there are many die-hard fans. It can sell nearly 10,000 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 £2 million.

These information were all compiled by Liccardo recently. Just a few days ago, the acquisition finally came to an end when he bought Queens Park Rangers for £41.5 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 Palladini (this man is Italian and a confidant of the former chairman, Liccardo reminded himself), football director Indian Bahaya, 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 at this time,

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 moment, Licardo said leisurely: "Hello everyone, I think everyone should know me. But starting from today, I have another identity. 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 side by side with you all to make Queens Park Rangers, an old team, a famous club in Europe and among the rich."

"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 receive 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 filled with shock and confusion.

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 peak time fighting for relegation. I hope to continue to compete in the Champions League, quickly lead the team to rise, and become a strong contender for the league championship every year. So, I put forward 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 300 million pounds and will attract no less than 50 million pounds in sponsorship for the team, which will greatly increase the team's income level. In the transfer In the market, I will invest 200 million pounds to rebuild the team, hire a talented head coach, buy stars, and 100 million pounds to improve the club's salary structure. In addition, from the near future, the club will invest in 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 300 million pounds, everyone's necks were red. My God, when did the club see so much money?

Even the employees who were a little wary before and resisted the acquisition were now shouting in their hearts: "It smells so good!"

"Everyone, let's work hard together!" Liccardo didn't say much. He quickly ended his speech and began to let the staff report their work.

As he listened, he thought about the club's financial situation.

The team's financial situation is unexpectedly good, and there are currently no debts. The former owner, as a shrewd Italian, was unwilling to run with debt and did not leave a mess for Liccardo.

Liccardo checked the team's income and expenditure last season. Last season, the team was in the English Championship and the broadcasting revenue was relatively small, and they could barely maintain a balance of payments.

But if they are promoted to the Premier League this season, they will get at least 80 million pounds from the broadcasting revenue alone. The team's sponsorship contract can be re-signed. Even if they don't inject money or go around to attract sponsorships, they will get at least 130 million pounds this season. Pounds of income.

Of course, there is a lot of expenditure, but the team will definitely make a profit.

If Liccardo joins the team as a player, based on his commercial value, he can bring at least 80 million pounds in revenue to the team a year. This is very scary.

Of course, if he wants to join the team, he will have to spend a lot of effort and suffer heavy financial losses. But it has to be done.

For this reason, he would rather sell some of his Facebook shares.

He is serious. The team will rush into the Champions League this year and win the FA Cup or League Cup. He will continue to play in the Champions League next season. Players like him will never be satisfied without the Champions League. The teams competing.

Therefore, we need to invest heavily this year and wave checks around to buy people, so that the team can have the fighting capacity at the forefront of the Premier League.

Of course, he won't worry about buying the wrong person. They know who can be kicked out in the future and which young stars who have gained fame will hurt Zhongyong.

At this moment, Ricardo was complacent.

It feels so good to play the real version of FM.
