Chapter 98: Contract Renewal
"The after-tax weekly salary of [-] pounds, the transfer regulations are the same as before, we can discuss the opinions of the club's senior management, but we must not veto the players I need and sell the players I don't want to let go." Charlotte said own conditions.

"Damn it, a weekly salary of [-] pounds after tax? Thanks to you, you paid for it!" Curtis laughed angrily.

At present, the highest salary of the head coach of the English Championship is Allardyce of West Ham United and the famous Swedish coach Eriksson of the Leicester City team who was dismissed before get out of class. Their weekly salary is [-] pounds, but this is Weekly salary before taxes.

The 40.00 pounds weekly salary offered by Charlotte is after tax, while the tax on players and coaches in England is one of the highest in Europe, as high as 7%, nearly half of the tax rate.In other words, if Southampton agrees to Charlotte's salary conditions, his weekly salary will reach more than [-] to close to [-] pounds.

This kind of salary has broken the salary record of the head coach of the British Championship, and even if it is placed in the Premier League, it is enough to rank in the middle.

So unless Curtis's brain was kicked by a donkey, it would be impossible to accept such a salary condition.But the basics of negotiating a contract are the same as doing business.

"The pre-tax weekly salary of [-] pounds, the transfer regulations remain the same." Curtis added weight.

"Mr. Curtis, do you know why the famous French coach Arsene Wenger finds it difficult to sign some young stars, and can only dig out little demons? I heard that he buys people with one hundred thousand pounds and one hundred thousand pounds. , the sellers and the players thought he was too stingy and didn't want to go to Arsenal."

Curtis: "."

"Forty thousand pounds, after tax!" Charlotte insisted that Aoyama would not relax.

"Damn it, if you were Wenger, Ferguson, or Mourinho, I'd give you this salary!" Curtis gritted his teeth.

"Come on, if you quadruple the price, it's impossible for the three of you to appeal to Southampton." Charlotte shook her head.

"Well, if you are Eriksson, Allardyce, Alan Pardue, I will give you this salary."

"First of all, Eriksson has already dismissed get out of class because of poor grades. Secondly, Allardyce's team performance is not as good as mine. If it wasn't for Christmas, he counterattacked for more than a month, maybe the current West Ham United Already looking at a new manager and in the end, Alan Pardew has done a fantastic job at Newcastle this season and you can't get him."

Curtis: "."

Because there is no agent, Charlotte does not want to spend too much energy arguing with Curtis. Now that the transfer window has just opened, Charlotte is in a mess, and there is no agent to help him negotiate the contract, so Charlotte also Want to do something about this.

"First of all, you see, the team was just newly promoted in the English Championship, but now we are moving towards the Premier League. We will be a Premier League team next season, and a weekly salary of [-] to [-] pounds will definitely not suit me. , is it possible that you came to renew my contract in a few months? Since it is already destined to be a Premier League team, it is natural to look at the long-term. Secondly, everyone knows that I am holding a one-year temporary contract. If I If the contract extension is not successful, it is not a good thing for the player."

Charlotte was almost warning Curtis: "You know, more than half of the outstanding players in the first team are introduced by me, and they can be discovered by me. At this time, my contract is at an impasse and they will There will be thoughts, guess whether I will be in the team next season, if I leave the team, will the new head coach still value them so much. This state is very dangerous and will seriously affect the remaining five teams. If the team doesn't get promoted in the end, everyone can see that it's not my fault."

"In the end, even if I leave Southampton, I think my current situation is enough to find a job in the Championship. Since I can bring the newly promoted Championship into the Premier League in one season, then I can naturally also in the Premier League. One season or two seasons brought Crystal Palace, Hull City and Reading into the Premier League, so I don’t have anything to do.”

Curtis was lost in thought, and he had to admit that although Charlotte opened his mouth like a lion, what he said was quite reasonable.

"Aren't you worried that I will hurt the interests of the team because of signings? We can set an additional clause that all the players I introduce must be sold at a price higher than the purchase price. I want transfer profits 15.00%, if there are more than three players below the purchase price, then the contract will be automatically terminated, and I don’t want any salary during the contract period.”

This plan is almost similar to the performance-linked policy in enterprises and institutions. If Charlotte wants to obtain higher income, she must help Southampton consider financial balance and transfer market profits.

Big teams rely on performance, bonuses and investment from sponsors to survive, while small teams can only survive on transfer income.The more famous ones are the famous European black shop Porto, and the Dutch arsenal Ajax.

It is impossible for Charlotte to think that Southampton can retain people, and the development of the small team is limited after all.But if he wants to sell people, he won't sell the entire team in one go.One or two players are sold in a season, and then young players from the youth academy or new players bought in come on top. This is a reasonable replacement.

Curtis thinks that what Charlotte said is very reasonable. He is the chairman of the club, but the club is not his.What he got was the salary given by the Liebherr family, and his bonus was naturally linked to the team's performance and finances.

Although Curtis wanted to make the club better, he was still a businessman and capitalist in essence. You must know that he was a well-known banker in Switzerland before he was poached to Southampton by Marcus Liebherr.

Curtis does not reject this plan. Although it will make Charlotte a lot of money, it will definitely guarantee the club's financial income.Katerina has already spoken, and it is imperative to renew the contract. At the same time, the female boss also said that the transfer power is still in charge of the head coach Charlotte.

Under the circumstances that he cannot intervene in the transfer work, such conditions undoubtedly protect the interests of the team.

Curtis didn't refuse outright, but bargained with Charlotte.

After a total of two hours of tug-of-war, the two finally reached an agreement.

Charlotte renewed her contract until June 2014, 6. The weekly salary is 30 pounds after tax. If one player loses or the total loss exceeds 2000 million pounds, all of Charlotte's earnings return to the club, including his salary, and Charlotte also received a signing bonus of 50 pounds.

Because Charlotte doesn't have an agent, the club doesn't have to pay the agent a commission. Naturally, the signing fee for Charlotte is relatively high. Otherwise, according to Curtis's urgency, a maximum of 30 pounds would be enough.

Both Charlotte and Curtis are very satisfied with this contract, so after finalizing the details, Charlotte signed his name on the draft contract. The formal contract will not be signed until a few days later. Southampton will The new contract will be standardized and then handed over to a lawyer for notarization. Finally, a backup copy will be submitted to the FA. At the same time, the club will also arrange a signing conference for Charlotte.

In fact, it is very common for the head coach of England to intervene in the transfer fee, but most of the "black gold" they draw is a gray method.Lower the player's transfer fee, and then take kickbacks from the opponent.

This kind of thing is not just in England, it is not uncommon all over the world.Because England's tradition is that the transfer power rests with the head coach, so the "black money" is the head coach. In other leagues, it may be the general manager, director or even the club chairman.

Among them, the most famous are Allardyce and Hasselbaink, and many of the English coaches have rumors of black gold.

And Charlotte just put this "black gold" method on the bright side and legalized it.But this is beneficial to everyone, and the club does not have to worry about Charlotte harming the interests of the club.

After finishing his own contract issues, Charlotte will lead the team to Derby non-stop. Their opponent in this round is the Derby County team at home. Southampton will compete with the opponent at the Park of Honor.

Due to the injuries of Schneiderlin and Lambert, they were unable to play, so Charlotte's Southampton starting lineup for this game naturally changed.

Pogba and Jack Cork serve as the starting midfield partner, "Black Swan" Sturridge is on the front line, Sterling is on the left and Al Ganassi is on the right, and Adam is in the middle. Lallana.The defenders are Danny Rose, Jose Fonte, Gary Monk and Richardson, and the goalkeeper is naturally Ter Stegen.

The newcomers Wanyama and Florenzi sat on the bench. They had just arrived in the team, not to mention tacit understanding. They even practiced together for less than two days. Naturally, it was impossible for Charlotte to arrange the two of them to play. .

"Victor, Alessandro, in this game, you should pay more attention to how your teammates play, how they divide and cooperate on the field, how they handle passing and cutting, running positions and offensive and defensive transitions. This will help you Integrate into the team faster." Charlotte said to Wanyama and Florenzi sitting next to him.

In the end, Charlotte's team only scored one point in this game. They shook hands with each other [-]-[-] at the Honor Stadium.

Charlotte shook her head. This game could have taken all three points, if one of Schneiderlin and Lambert could start the game.

Pogba and Jack Cork are still too young to fall to the ground, and they can’t be seen when they are on the bench. After all, at that time, either Charlotte sent these two people on the field to target the opponent’s weakness, or the game was no longer suspenseful. Yes, it's time to play "experience".

But when a tough guy like Derby County was sent to the field as a fortified assault soldier, the two became a little misfired.

Sterling had no bright spots in the game, the offensive end could not start the situation, and the defense failed to actively retreat.But Pogba is a bit restrained in the middle. He and Jack Cork rarely partner together, so the division of labor between the two is still somewhat unclear.It often happens that two people attack at the same time, or two people retreat to defend at the same time.The former leaves no barriers in the middle, while the latter makes the team's offense have no good contact points.

These problems did not exist when Schneiderlin was in the past, because 70.00% of the French midfielders stayed in the backcourt and rarely got in. At the same time, he also encouraged his midfield partner to press forward boldly.

Two goals came from Sturridge and Adam Lallana, who had just been promoted to the team's vice-captain, and Al Ganassi on the right contributed an assist.After the captain Hammond left the team, the original vice-captain Portuguese central defender Jose Fonte successfully became a regular, and the position of vice-captain he vacated was naturally handed over to Adam Lallana, a product of the youth training.
