Chapter 306 Club Personnel Adjustment
"ladies and gentlemen!"

Wilkinson greeted and attracted all the attention of the venue, and then began to introduce himself, "I am Brand Wilkinson. Many people probably know my name, and many people probably don't. I am here Let me make an introduction. I am a Saudi, but I am half of Welsh blood." He said with a smile on his face, as if he felt that the Welsh blood could be more friendly to the people present.

This sentence made many people twitch their lips.

Zhang Yang is also one of them.

Although no one said it outright, the first thought of many people was: "Is this guy insulting Welsh blood?"

A tall and strong man of Welsh descent still has a certain charm. It is a bit too far-fetched to connect this strange-looking guy with Welsh ancestry.

Zhang Yang was already used to Wilkinson's appearance, but what he thought about was Wilkinson's blood and nationality.

Wilkinson is half of Welsh descent. Logically speaking, he can obtain British nationality, but the other party chose Saudi nationality. Saudi Arabia does not allow dual citizenship. In other words, he gave up British nationality since he was a child.

What did this guy's parents think?

"Perhaps the Saudi side is an aristocrat?" Only in this way can he explain why he gave up his British citizenship and chose to become a Saudi.

Wilkinson's speech continued, "The Saudi Paper Group's acquisition of the shares of the Millwall Club is because Prince Mossad-Abdullah likes football very much. You probably don't know Prince Mossad, he He is a prince who likes investing in football very much. He runs a football club in Saudi Arabia and loves football very much. He has always hoped to invest in the most professional club, and this kind of club must be found on the world's top stage."

"The Premier League is the most suitable stage. Millwall Club is also a very professional club. Prince Mossad has watched many Millwall games. He likes Millwall very much."

"In fact, our acquisition plan started last summer, but for the sake of secrecy, we have not announced the news, but now that we have completed the acquisition, I, Brand Wilkinson, as Prince Mossad's Representative, will officially start to serve as the vice chairman of the club, responsible for the management of the club's operations."

At this point, Wilkinson started the beginning, and then he began to tout the Premier League and Millwall Club, "The Premier League is the most professional league in the world. In my heart, it is the number one league in the world. Other leagues can't match it at all. Compare."

"On such a stage, the competition will definitely be very fierce. Millwall is an emerging team. I believe that any league needs emerging strength, and the same is true for the Premier League. The rise of Millwall has made the Premier League even better. Liven up and become more competitive...”

"Millwall's results this season surprised many people, but I was not surprised at all, because the head coach of Millwall is Zhang Yang..."

Wilkinson didn't care about his bragging words at all, which made many people grin. Then his topic shifted to Zhang Yang, and he started his speech with Zhang Yang as the core, "Zhang Yang is a young Chinese who just met It was hard for him to believe that he could succeed in football coaching."

"But we can see now that he has succeeded. At the age of less than 23, he has led Millwall to the top of the league."

"This is not surprising at all, because he has achieved success last season, but most people don't care about the Championship level. The success will continue. I believe that Zhang Yang is the most important person in Millwall. He is more important than any player, more important than any staff member, more important than any director, of course, he will be more important than me... because he brings achievements and honors that Millwall can't even imagine!"

Wilkinson's series of pursuits made Zhang Yang a little restless. He regretted coming to the press conference. At this moment, many cameras shifted their perspectives and pointed towards this side, and he could only Show an embarrassed smile.

This is the compliment of the Saudis?
Really... so weak!

Apart from embarrassing, there is no other effect, but Zhang Yang and everyone present can understand what Wilkinson is trying to express - the change of the club's equity and high-level personnel will not affect Zhang Yang's position as the head coach, and the club will not be affected. I will fully support Zhang Yang leading the team and give him absolute trust and support.

This is some consolation.

What Wilkinson said next was even more attractive. He said that in order to acquire Millwall Club, Prince Mossad and his paper company, he had prepared nearly [-] million euros, more than half of which was used for acquisition funds , The remaining funds will also be invested in the club for all aspects of the club's construction and transfer funds in the summer.

Many media reporters began to settle accounts.

Prince Mossad has spent at least more than 6000 million euros to acquire Millwall, but even if it reaches 7000 million euros, there is still 3000 million euros left.

In addition, Millwall must have a lot of financial balance this season.

Millwall's home courts are continuously full, and ticket revenue can be more than three to four million euros, plus league ranking bonuses, TV broadcast share, etc., income is easily 400 million euros higher than expenditure, and may even exceed 1000 In other words, will Millwall receive nearly 2000 million euros in transfer funds by the summer?

Even if you say less, there will be 4000 million euros!
This is big news!
No matter how you calculate it, Millwall will definitely be one of the clubs waving a check in this summer's Premier League.

This is also where Zhang Yang feels gratified.

If there is sufficient transfer funds, the construction of the entire team will definitely be much better. Unlike this season, when encountering a slightly stronger team, it will be very difficult to play, and the game will eventually win, and you will feel very tired.

Afterwards, Wilkinson made a concluding speech and delivered a speech of 'becoming the vice chairman and working hard to lead the club to glory'. In the end, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be a little excited.

This made Zhang Yang a little confused.

"Maybe it's the first time he's attracted so much attention?" Zhang Yang thought, "Or has he wanted to be the vice chairman for a long time? Or is he excited by the success of the press conference?"

It's hard to say what the reason is.

After Wilkinson's speech was over, Zhang Yang stood up and read a paragraph to the manuscript. The general meaning was that he welcomed Wilkinson as the vice chairman, and said that "the changes at the top will not affect the team, nor will it affect his Work'.

Zhang Yang was really not in the mood to deal with this, so he simply read according to the manuscript.

Wilkinson was grateful.

This press conference is very important to Wilkinson himself. In the eyes of the outside world, he is the spokesperson of Prince Abdullah. He must be one of the most trusted people of Prince Abdullah to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

In fact, Wilkinson's parentage is not bad, but the relationship of blood has always been discriminated against.

Wilkinson's father is a Welsh, but his mother is a Saudi, or a princess of the Saudi royal family.

Women in the Arab world have no status, and the status of princesses is not very high. There are many princesses in the royal family. They are not like princes. They will be taken care of by the Saudi royal family. Years ago, Saudi Arabia was still very poor and backward, and the princesses of the royal family could only be arranged to marry 'husbands they had never met'. Don't even think about it.

Wilkinson's mother fell in love with a Welshman and gave birth to a child. It is conceivable how much criticism will be received.

Wilkinson's burden will not be small.

Saudi’s growth environment is not open. He was lucky to survive. He grew up with the surrounding discussions, and the pressure he was under was unimaginable. When he grew up, many people knew his background and were unwilling to hire him. In the end it was his cousin, Prince Mossad, who hired him.

Wilkinson has been working very hard and has become one of the people trusted by Prince Mossad, but in terms of status, he is not even as good as an ordinary civilian. In Saudi Arabia, which values ​​blood, it is very difficult to get ahead.

Prince Mossad had no way to reuse him, so he could only be sent abroad.

Representing Prince Mossad this time, coming to London for the acquisition of a Premier League club and being responsible for the management of the club until the end of the season is his only chance to pursue a good life.

For Wilkinson, England is a paradise!
There is an open environment here, he will not be discriminated against wherever he goes, and because of his position, many people will respect him.

These are the most important.

It is conceivable how much Wilkinson cherishes the opportunity. In order to pursue a free life, he must stay here, and he must also help Prince Mossad manage the Millwall Club, at least to satisfy Prince Mossad. No one can replace him, so he doesn't have to go back to Saudi Arabia.

Wilkinson's nervousness and excitement are understandable.

Now Wilkinson has become the vice chairman of the Millwall club. He is the most powerful figure in the club. Next, he must do a good job. So what is the goal of the work?

Without a doubt, grades!
The completion of the acquisition of a club in the middle of the season must ensure the club's performance. Only in this way can the support of the fans be obtained, and Prince Mossad will be satisfied.

Wilkinson couldn't help but think of Zhang Yang. He knew that the team's performance this season must rely on this young Chinese.

He has great prestige among the fans.

Only by stabilizing him can the team stabilize and achieve the best results!

----

The next day, Zhang Yang got the good news that the club planned to re-sign the contract with him.

This is for a raise!

Zhang Yang understood what Wilkinson meant. At the press conference yesterday, he praised him as 'unprecedented', and he must have wanted to keep him.

Zhang Yang had no reason to refuse.

Wilkinson has this idea, and it is not harmful to himself. A salary increase is a long-awaited thing.

A season has not passed yet. Under normal circumstances, even if the contract is negotiated, the start time of the new contract will be at the end of May.

Zhang Yang himself is unwilling to give up the old contract. When the original contract was signed, there were a series of bonus regulations. The bonus for the league championship alone was 100 million pounds, the bonus for the FA Cup champion was 30 pounds, and 15 for reaching the final. In terms of pounds, as long as the team wins the league championship and the FA Cup, he can get a bonus of 130 million pounds.

That's a lot of money!
If a new contract is signed with the club, the salary will definitely increase, but it is estimated that the annual salary can only reach the first-tier level, around 300-100 million pounds. Even at this salary level, more than [-] million pounds is half a year's salary.

That is enough to solve the current economic crisis.

Zhang Yang's financial situation is not very good. Since he bought a new house, he has not been willing to buy a car until now. A large part of his salary has to be paid off the balance of the new house. The remaining funds have grown slowly, and his work has been relatively slow recently. , I don’t have time to engage in some business and the like, which means I have no other income.

After the bonus was issued, the situation was completely different.

Zhang Yang feels that his income will also soar after the end of the season. Millwall has achieved good results, and his reputation has also increased. Many big companies have contacted Andy, and he will run commercial endorsements during the holidays. It is an indispensable job, and his income will enter another stage at that time. He is still looking forward to it. He has been living a 'poor' life in the past, and he has finally survived a little bit.

Of course, the most important thing is to lead the work.

This is the foundation.

After Wilkinson's press conference, the outside media have been reporting the high-level turmoil at Millwall. In the club, most people didn't feel any turmoil, except for the former chairman Gregory who took a large sum of money to advance Retired and no one else from the entire club left.

There are also changes.

Part of Ebenezer's work was shared by several new recruits, two of whom were Saudi and three were English.

From this perspective, Ebenezer has been most affected. His position has been adjusted from CEO to head of business operations.

The difference between the two positions is one level.

Zhang Yang had a private discussion with Ebenezer, and felt that Ebenezer could continue to work because he was still more valued, his salary had not been reduced, and his workload had not been reduced.

Millwall is nothing like it used to be.

Last year, the Millwall Club was just a small club at the British Championship level. The club's biggest asset was the value of its players, and most of its income was generated by the support of its core fans. Even the annual ticket income was the bulk of the club's income.

It's different now.

Millwall is a club at the Premier League level. If it can win the league championship, the club will definitely have great development in the future, such as expanding the stadium, opening some special shops around, and negotiating contracts with major sponsors, etc., if possible It is also expanding its popularity around the world, just like Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams are going on tours in Asia and America. At that time, the commercial department will be the busiest.

Ebenezer became the head of the commercial department, and the workload and rights will only be greater than before.

In addition, one of the most important reasons for Ebenezer to stay in the club is that he holds shares in the club, even if it is only three percentage points, he is still a shareholder of the club, especially after the club was acquired, the major shareholders basically disappeared. Ebenezer still holds shares, and as the club's commercial director, he will naturally be a very important person.

Wilkinson seems to be very good, he is the spokesperson of the new owner Prince Mossad, but he is not a shareholder of the club after all, and the vice chairman can also be said to be self-appointed. None of the rights.

So it was a pretty good decision for Ebenezer to stay at the club.
