Hello 1983

The cheers became more enthusiastic. The magpie finally ushered in its new owner, who is also a rich man. It is estimated that it will finally be able to fly to the branches and become a phoenix.

I don't know if the team can change the team logo. It would be nice if the two magpies were replaced with two phoenixes...

Chapter 863 Big news!

Witnessed by FA Chairman Earl Martin, Nottingham City Hall and fans representatives, Liu Qingshan signed the purchase contract with Mr. Rice, the former chairman of Notts County Club.

The price Liu Qingshan paid was to repay Notts County’s debt of 200 million pounds, and to pay an additional [-] pounds to Mr. Rice.

However, the external price is claimed to be a total of 500 million pounds.

This principle is similar to the reason why troops were sent out in ancient times, although there were obviously 10 people, but they were called millions of soldiers.

210 million pounds, the acquisition of a League Two team, the current price is actually a little bit high.

However, considering the long history of the Notts County Club and the rapid development of commercial football, it is also considered to be worth the money.

After the signing, Liu Qingshan became the new chairman of the Notts County Club.

Everyone welcomed and congratulated him with warm applause.

This is the most satisfactory result for all parties: Mr. Rice finally pulled out of the quagmire, and the government successfully got rid of the burden.

The fans are also very happy: finally no longer need to donate to their beloved team!

No one is rich these days, and fans donating money, of course, can't last long, and can't fundamentally solve the problem.

Just like a team like Notts County, the results are too mediocre, and there are not many big sponsors to support them.

The local reporters were also very supportive and conducted some interviews on the spot, the focus of course being the new chairman Liu Qingshan.

"Mr. Mountain, what is your vision for the development of the team?" A reporter began to ask questions, which is what everyone is very concerned about.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Our top priority is to improve the strength of the team."

"How to improve?"

"It's very simple, buy the players we need." The smile on Liu Qingshan's face grew stronger.

Reporters like to get to the bottom of it: "Which players do you think the team needs?"

"As long as they are excellent players, they are all we need. For example, these players of the current England national team, after all, they won No.4 in the World Cup."

Liu Qingshan's words were astonishing, and the reporters were taken aback: What a big appetite!

Before the reporters could react, Liu Qingshan continued: "I plan to invest 2000 million pounds in the club this season to recruit players and improve the team's strength."

Wow!

Everyone present exclaimed, even Earl Martin, who always pays attention to manners, was no exception.

Nowadays, the pound is still relatively strong, and it is basically around [-] against the dollar.

2000 million pounds, or at least 3000 million U.S. dollars, is absolutely huge for any current club.

You must know that the players at this time, the transfer fee and the like, are really not high.

Just like Maradona, when he was the most valuable, it was only 900 million US dollars, which was the highest among the stars at that time.

As for the players of the England national team, the team's most famous star at the time, Lineker, had a transfer fee of 120 million pounds.

In other words, for 1000 million pounds, basically all the main players of the World Cup England team can be bought.

Compared with the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of transfer fees decades later, this seems to be quite cheap, but it is not always the case. In this era, money is relatively real in the entire world.

The reporters were so startled that they didn't know what to ask for a while, and the representatives of the fans went crazy, screaming strangely.

Of course they have reason to be excited: a rich boss finally came!

Liu Qingshan saw that the reporters were silent, so he continued: "I still have to ask you to help me to send a message to the newspaper."

"England team members, if they are interested in coming to Notts Club, their income will be doubled compared with the original club."

The reporters continued to be confused: How could they still play like this?

Earl Martin's lips moved a few times, he wanted to say: If you do this, you will definitely be disgusted by other clubs.

But think about it, it seems that this kind of practice is not allowed by anyone.

When people have money, they like to spend it like this, and there is no one else to point fingers at them.

It's just that in this way, the transfer market may be messed up by Mr. Mountain.

The value of the players, I'm afraid it will generally be raised by a level. I really don't know if it is good or bad?

Earl Martin was a little worried. He felt that this Mr. Mountain was the catfish mixed into the group of sardines.

Big news!

The reporters finally realized that if this news was published in the newspapers, it would definitely cause a riot.

The more chaos the better, the reporters are of course afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

So Hula surrounded Liu Qingshan and began to ask questions.

Liu Qingshan answered one by one with a smile, and those excited fans dispersed in a rush, and went back to spread the good news.

After dealing with the reporters, the government officials were sent away, and the rest were basically members of the club.

Notts County Club, because of financial constraints, so there are not many staff members in the club, and they are basically patchwork.

The coaching staff who were on vacation were also called in. The head coach is Neil Warnock, and his coaching ability and level are not bad.

The biggest achievement is to lead seven different teams to upgrade. He is an upgrade coach, which is quite suitable for Notts County Club, which is now preparing to enter the First Division from the Second Division.

Although the coaching staff is called a "team", there are actually only two people, one is the head coach Neil, and the other is the assistant coach, responsible for training, and the division of labor is so simple and rough.

It seems that the original Mr. Chairman, in order to save money, really streamlined his troops and streamlined his administration.

Liu Qingshan met with coach Neil, and after exchanging pleasantries, he told Neil that he would spend a lot of money to recruit players.

Neil was excited at first. After all, as a coach, who would not be willing to coach high-level players?

But soon I was a little worried: "But what about the original players, are they all fired?"

The assistant coach, Carlisle, a young man in his 30s and a former Notts County player, also added:

"There are several players in the team, all locals, who have been playing for the team."

Liu Qingshan also understood: These players may not be very capable, but they are all veterans of the club. If they are all kicked out, it will have a bad impact on the club, as if the club does not show affection.

This is very important, it is related to whether the players will have a sense of belonging to the club.

In fact, Liu Qingshan had already thought about it a long time ago, he simply waved his hand:

"This is easy to solve. If they are willing, they can retire directly and join the work of the club. Now the staff of various departments of the club really need to be supplemented."

After all, he has been a player and is an insider. Even if he retires, he can still engage in football-related work.

For example, being a trainer, being an assistant coach, etc., the worst thing is, you can also be a scout.

Assistant coach Carlisle took a deep look at Liu Qingshan, and couldn't help feeling a little fond of the new boss in his heart.

This approach can enable players to still have a stable job after retirement, and it will definitely win people's hearts.

It seems that the new boss is not only rich, but also more conscientious, and Carlisle also sees the hope of the Magpies.

A few people pinched the team's roster and checked the players one by one. In fact, there are still some good players in the team, such as Steve Cherry and Phil Turner.

The Notts County club will return to the first division next season, and these two players have contributed a lot.

Players like this, of course, have to continue to renew their contracts, but in terms of remuneration, of course, they should also be raised appropriately.

Most of the players need to leave the team, and the meritorious players will be recruited to the club to continue working.

After all the existing players are placed, the team can still play, and there are only five or six players left. Obviously, the team needs to be reorganized.

This is also a relatively big test for the coaching staff. It is not so easy to integrate a new team.

Liu Qingshan continued to control the overall situation: "According to my analysis, under the temptation of our high salary, there will definitely be a few players from the national team who will join us. Everyone, be prepared."

"In addition, send someone to contact Lineker, and no matter how much it costs, he must be recruited."

"Sir, Lineker is already [-] years old." Head coach Neil reminded that such a veteran does not seem to be worth investing too much money.

Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "Our team needs a team soul."

The coaching duo instantly understood that Lineker has the supreme glory in the England team. When such a player is the captain, the team's cohesion will immediately be established.

The two couldn't help but look at each other: Who said Mr. Mountain doesn't understand football?

Lineker's current net worth is not high. It is estimated that the price of 200 million pounds will definitely be tempted. This matter still has a high chance of success.

Afterwards, the coaching duo mentioned a few more players who were suitable for the team in their minds, and Liu Qingshan also agreed. After all, the current players are really cheap, and the average one is only hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Liu Qingshan raised another question: that is, the echelon construction of the team must also pay attention to the training of young players, so as to form a virtuous circle.

Everyone understands this truth. The reason why the Notts County Club could not do it before was because they had no money to invest.

Liu Qingshan also provided the coaching staff with a list of young players, such as Robert Baggio, Zidane, Alan Schiller, etc., if they can be recruited, try to recruit them into the team.

"It is said that Robert's transfer fee has exceeded tens of millions of dollars." Coach Neal frowned.

Baggio performed well in the just-concluded World Cup and scored the most exciting goal of this World Cup, so his worth has also increased.

"It's okay, money is not a problem, I will call him personally."

Liu Qingshan and Baggio still have a bit of love, after all, they also hired Baggio to be the spokesperson of Jade Bird Mobile.

As for Zidane and Schiller who haven't made their names yet, that's the price of cabbage. If you give one hundred and eighty thousand pounds, you can basically recruit them under the banner.

After a few years, they will all be worth tens of millions, definitely not a loss.

Players at this time have not ushered in a wave of price increases, and the famous Bosman Act has not yet been passed.

Just like the later Shevchenko, who won the European Footballer of the Year, the Golden Foot Award and other honors, played for AC Milan, Chelsea and other teams, he is definitely a big star.

Just such a big star, who went to the domestic A-A trial training back then, was the Shenhua team, but he was disgusted by the team, saying that he was too tall and not suitable for playing football.

And how much was Shevchenko worth at the time?

He asked for 100 million, but the team thought it was too expensive, so he didn't hire him.

As for the domestic A-A, when it was officially professionalized in 10, the player's worth was basically only a few hundred thousand Huaxia coins.

The most expensive at that time was General Fan, 120 million.

Thinking of domestic football, Liu Qingshan felt that after returning to China, he still wanted to invest in a football school. As for buying a football team in China, he had no such idea.

At that time, he will also avoid being criticized by the media, saying that he has all the money to invest in foreign teams.

Liu Qingshan stayed in the club for two days. He had money to do things easily, so he basically implemented all the club's affairs.

At the same time, newspapers throughout England were about to be swamped by the Notts County Club.

The reason is simple. This kind of high-priced recruitment of players is really unprecedented.

Gascoigne, the rising star of the national team and known as the bad boy, was the first to express his position. He issued a statement saying that he was willing to join the Notts County Club.

When other players were covering up and opening their mouths in embarrassment, Gascoigne was the first to lift the fig leaf.

With the leading firepower, it would be easy to handle. One after another, several players from the national team began to contact the Notts County Club.

On the third day, Lineker made a high-profile announcement that he would join the Notts County club for a transfer fee of 260 million pounds.

This price also detonated the media again, because Lineker's worth is only 120 million, which has more than doubled.

It seems that the Notts County Club is for real, not for eyeballs.

With Lineker taking the lead, six players from the national team have joined Notts County, with prices ranging from £100 million to £200 million.

The sum of these players is less than 1000 million pounds, and Liu Qingshan is so happy that he is cheap.

The fans in Notts County are also crazy. For many years, the team has not made such a big deal.

All fans are full of expectations for the new season.

"It's great to be rich." The fans of the old rival Nottingham Forest in the same city couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"It's great to have money!" Notts County fans usually respond with this sentence, leaving the other party speechless.

What pleased Liu Qingshan the most was that Roberto Baggio also agreed to join, and Zidane and Schiller also expressed their willingness to join.

At that time, the other positions will be filled. This team is going to compete in the second division. Liu Qingshan feels like a bit of a cannonball.

The old Notts County club has come back to life and is thriving.
