Chapter 410 Disagreement and Shelving

How much does it cost to build a new modern stadium?According to various differences in capacity, location, design mode, etc., the total price still fluctuates a lot, but judging from the data collected on new stadiums built in major European countries in the past ten years, the estimated funds needed should be It needs to be between 3 million and 6 million euros, even if it is the minimum value, it is not possible for the current Turin club to afford it.

In the FM system, the latest assessment made for this club, which has skyrocketed in terms of team performance, financial status, and football prestige in the past two years, is that its comprehensive strength ranks among all European football clubs. In 22nd place, with an overall value of 4.12 million euros.The following numbers are not much different from the data published on the European football club value list released by the world-renowned auditing company KPMG KPMG at the end of May last year, which can be said to be authoritative.

KPMG's research data is mainly based on the team's broadcast share, operating ability, popularity, competitive potential, and stadium ownership. The top of the list is Manchester United with 30.95 billion, followed by Real Madrid with 29.76 billion and 27.65 billion. Barcelona.The highest-ranked Italian team is naturally Juventus, which ranks ninth, but his total value is only 12.18 billion, which is almost only one-third of the Red Devils, which seems a bit pitiful.

The old lady's rivals in the same city are even lower on this list. Due to the existence of a group of local tyrants in the Premier League and the fact that the current achievements of the Milan duo are mediocre but the rich background still exists, the Red Bulls are at the top of the club's value list. Compared with the strength list, the previous ranking dropped sharply, only ranking 48th, almost falling out of the top [-].

So after hearing Urbano Cairo's proposal to build a new stadium, Li Moody felt a little confused, and even wondered if the other party knocked on something unclean and was talking nonsense there .Because this is really a bit too unreliable, just like the Turin team said that they want to buy Messi and Ronaldo, it is too whimsical.

However, after subconsciously glancing at the high-level club executives who participated in the meeting, the Turin coach realized that this was probably not a joke, because everyone was seriously thinking about the proposal thrown by the chairman, and no one had a serious expression on their faces. Showing a surprised or absurd expression, it seems that they have received this news beforehand, and only Li Modi himself heard it for the first time.Does this mean something?Even though he thought he was broad-minded, the Turin coach had to have some doubts in his heart at this time.

The chairman of the club didn't know if he saw the bad face of the team's head coach. Then he explained that the topic of the stadium was initially discussed at a high-level meeting with fewer participants two days ago. In-depth research, but also let others have a little psychological preparation, today is the official plan to bring this topic into the club's plan.This explanation seems to be to appease Li Modi's feeling that he may be isolated, but whether it actually has an effect, no one except the person concerned is clear.

Regarding whether the new stadium should be built, no one will raise strong objections. Judging from the information prepared by the staff, the current Olympic Stadium is indeed a bit behind for the club that has shown a revival.Because it is a comprehensive stadium that hosts sports games and various business activities, the runway occupies a considerable space, which makes the audience's viewing experience very poor, and also seriously reduces the capacity of the stadium.In addition, ZF will adjust the turf when other activities are held (track and field competitions need to be replaced as a whole; large-scale concerts need to build various stages on it, which will cause great damage to the turf), which makes the club very inconvenient. Therefore, everyone will naturally not have any resistance to owning a stadium that is completely owned by them.

Now that there are no doubts about the first question, the next question is whether we can afford it.Although the issue of the new stadium has just been brought to the table for discussion, Urbano Cairo, who has already prepared, has obviously drawn up the most preliminary plan, which lists several plans for future use. We discuss.

First, it can follow the example of Juventus' new stadium. The new Juventus Allianz Stadium is rebuilt on the site of the original Alpi Stadium.The advantage of this is that the cost of the land is not high, and it can be converted into shares and handed over to the city government. As long as the club takes the dominant position, it is completely acceptable, which greatly reduces the investment cost of the new stadium.But this idea is also the most unreliable, because after losing the old Alpi, it is almost impossible for the Turin City ZF to transfer another large stadium to the club. Do they have to bow down when they hold some activities in the future? Ask the club for mercy?So this proposal was directly skipped.

The second alternative site is located in the open space between the urban area of ​​Turin and the town of Moncalieri in the south. It was originally a ranch, but it has been bankrupted and settled without management. It is also very cheap to obtain land ownership.But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, it is a bit far from the city center, and fans need to spend at least an hour on the road to watch the game, which is very inconvenient.Moreover, the stadium is located outside the urban area, which means that the influence on the fans in the city will be reduced. Considering that there are only 120 million people in Turin City, there is still a domestic strongest competitor around, and the stadium will be moved to Obviously, there are some disadvantages outside the city that outweigh the advantages.

The final location is located in the northwest of the city. It is the stadium affiliated to the Polytechnic University of Turin. As the world's top engineering institution, the university's stadium covers a large area, but the scale is too amateurish. The club It is completely possible to negotiate with the other party to win this piece of land.However, the cost of this option is also the largest among the three options. Without enough interest temptation, it is impossible to convince a university that is not badly short of money to agree.

No matter where the final site is selected, the total budget drawn by the finance department is between 3.2 million and 3.7 million euros. This is based on the premise that the capacity of the new stadium only reaches 32000 people. Highest live audience numbers.Even that number at the lower end is impossible for a red bull to afford.

Regardless of the fact that the total value of the club given by KPMG has reached more than 4 million yuan, most of them are real estate and fictitious elements, except for the necessary expenses reserved for the second half of the season and the payable salaries of employees and players. At present, the club can currently use only about 6000 million euros in one-time funds, half of which is saved by the team without major moves in the winter transfer window.In particular, the club still owes a loan of up to 4000 million yuan to the bank and has not repaid, and its financial situation is far from as good as expected in the statements of outsiders.

But the construction of a new stadium does not have to use all your own money. Even Juventus, the richest company in Italy, will borrow from the bank to operate large-scale investment projects, and use other people's money to run its own affairs. That's the mainstream view in today's world.Obviously, if the Turin club wants to launch a large-scale plan, they can only rely on banks to raise funds.This means that they had better repay the 4000 million first, and then submit the plan to the bank, and get a loan of hundreds of millions of euros in batches after approval. The collateral is naturally the new stadium.Then take out most of the profits in the next ten years and return them to the bank. Since then, the days of tightening the belt have expired, which is very bitter.

The previous clear example is Arsenal. In order to build the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners can be said to sell everything and go bankrupt, but the team's performance has been unsatisfactory in the past ten years.If it weren't for the fact that the professor is still young and strong, it would be just an extravagant hope to compete for fourth place every year, and the fans would not be satisfied enough to call him out of class. I really don't know if his brain has been kicked by a donkey.Although the professor's on-the-spot command ability has indeed declined significantly in recent years, and he has been frequently stunned, but considering the fact that the team's investment in signings is far behind other strong teams in the Premier League, it really shouldn't be used. It is really chilling that Arsenal's poor strength is blamed on this legendary coach.

Going back to the Red Bulls, after carrying out the set of operations mentioned earlier, it means that the team will not be able to make big moves in the transfer market in the next N seasons.And the salary structure is also difficult to increase year by year according to the previous plan. That is to say, not only will their attractiveness to free agents drop sharply, but it will also increase the risk of other teams luring their own core players. You can't match the conditions of high salary poaching, the main lineup will be poached sooner or later, and even those good seedlings in the youth training camp may not be able to keep them.

If it reaches that level, the team will completely collapse, and still want to restore the glory of the Turin era?Being able to maintain a mid-level level in the league is considered a strong head coach.

So after he figured out Urbano Cairo's follow-up plan, Li Moody immediately raised objections. He didn't think the current Turin club had the strength to build a new stadium of its own, and he also raised the need for it. questioned.The average attendance rate of the team's home games has indeed been greatly improved, but there is still a certain distance from full capacity. Considering the influence of the teams in the same city in the eyes of local fans and the number of Asian tourists, it is impossible to maintain these two conditions all the time. The level between months, so the Olympic Stadium will be enough to accommodate the needs of fans in the next five or six years. The new plan is a waste of money.

Feeling the great harm of this plan to the team, Li Modi was a little too excited. When he put forward his opinion, he didn't think carefully about the words he used, and almost expressed all the negative factors he could think of. It seemed that there was a meaning to criticize some people's blind delusion, which made the atmosphere in the conference room cool down instantly.

However, he also ignored a time setting in the plan. As a well-known successful businessman in Italy, how could Urbano Cairo be so ignorant of weighing the pros and cons.The chairman of Turin hopes to officially launch the new stadium plan in two or three years. Although this is impossible in the eyes of the team coach, but because the two parties have not had any personal communication before, in the eyes of others, two parties have formed. There is an irresolvable confrontation among individuals.

Valentino Cairo hurriedly stood up to adjust the somewhat awkward atmosphere. Although he agreed with his good friend in his heart, his father is the emperor who can determine all the operating policies of the club, and even his grandfather cannot interfere with him. Thoughts, not to mention my own son.In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, the head of the club's marketing department could only make peace in the middle. First, he said that the new stadium is indeed necessary in the long run, but it should be treated with extreme caution. The financial development of the club should first make a realistic plan. This is what should be done now. It is too early to talk about other things.

Other people at the meeting did not express a clear opinion, but they all agreed with the idea of ​​the club prince. This meeting that should have boosted everyone's morale in the chairman's mind ended hastily like this.The new Grand Turin Era stadium plan has been put on hold temporarily, but it is unknown when it will enter the official plan, and everyone's thoughts are unknown, but what is certain is that some people's moods must be different. will remain calm.

As the head coach of the team, he is not qualified to express his views on the club's operational matters. When Arsenal built the Emirates Stadium, Wenger did not have veto power, even though he has unparalleled influence in the team , but the scope of his control without equity is limited to the team.Since football has been commercialized, perhaps only Ferguson has the qualifications and ability to influence the major decisions of the club. For example, when Manchester United sold its ownership to the Glazer family in the United States, the latter was able to defeat the competition by attracting the team coach. be successful.However, the retirement of Ferguson Ferguson in 2013 was revealed to be persecuted by the Glazer family. In front of the club owner, don't really think that the team coach can have a high status.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people in Turin, Li Moody's actions are somewhat inappropriate. He should not prevent the chairman from stepping down in front of the public, and he should not make remarks that interfere with the club's major decisions. The originally harmonious relationship took a turn for the worse.

However, the two met for dinner a few hours later. In the reporter's report the next day, they showed a very good relationship, which almost dispelled everyone's negative guesses.But everyone has overlooked an important event, that is, the news that Li Moody will renew a new contract broke out at the end of last year, and there is no update until a few months later. The inside story is actually worth exploring some.
