Football nukes: a pound buys a club

When he learned of the finale of the Premier League, Zhang Chong almost didn't laugh out loud.

West Ham was relegated in this way, which made him a little unexpected.

It is conceivable that West Ham United fans will regard Arnold as the murderer of his father and enemy.

But in any case, the relegation of West Ham United means that Rice is easier to get.

Zhang Chong called Weiler with a sly look: "Now that West Ham United has been relegated, you go and ask him if he still dares to call you a toad."

Weller chuckled: "I'm going to give him a high-level team crit."

Zhang Chong hastily stopped him: "You get rid of that Rice for me first, and then don't annoy them so they won't sell it to us."

Weller nodded: "Understood!"

The day after the season ended, Bury hosted a championship celebration at Kigley Stadium.

Zhang Chong showed the League Cup trophy and the Premier League trophy to the fans.

Song Lei took his team to a close-up of these two trophies.

Because of visa issues, they arrived in the UK a week later than the agreed time, and the team had already left for the Tottenham game in London by then, so they couldn't get any material.

And this championship celebration is a good opportunity.

Zhang Chong looked at the crowd of fans, somehow, he found the empty seat in the crowd at a glance.

Next to the seat, sat old Taylor.

Old Taylor took out a photo of the two of them with their arms around their shoulders, and put it gently on the seat.

In the photo, the two of them are very young. At that time, they didn't have so many fine wrinkles on their faces, and they didn't have gray beards. They only had the vitality and hope in their eyes that belonged to young people.

Old Taylor murmured: "Old friend, today is the championship celebration, you must be able to see it in the sky, right?"

Zhang Chong looked back and said: "Three years ago, I stood here to celebrate our winning the League Two Championship. Three years later, we won the Premier League Championship. Many people called him the miracle of Bury. But I think It is said that you are the miracle of our Bury!"

He paused, and then said: "When the team was deeply trapped in the low-level league, you followed the team unswervingly for decades. And nine years ago, Bury encountered a financial crisis. Many of you bought Bury's seats and helped the team through this difficult time. Today, many of the seats have your names engraved on them, which is also a testimony of our fellow Bury members."

He looked at the empty seat again: "Just a few days ago, an old friend of mine, who was also a die-hard Bury fan, passed away unfortunately. And at the last moment of his life, he was paying attention to our relationship with Manchester United. That championship battle, but he did not wait until the end of the game. This is also my biggest regret as a friend. Therefore, I decided to seal up his exclusive seat forever, so that he in heaven, no matter when Everyone can come to the Kiguri Stadium to watch the game!"

Old Taylor was stunned.

Not long after, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the photo on the seat next to him: "Dude, you can watch football with me all the time again!"

Song Lei, who was filming with his colleagues, was also taken aback for a moment. He seemed to see a light in this young man, a light that did not exist in the domestic football circle.

Perhaps, this is what football should look like!

At this moment, he felt that just taking this piece of material back was enough to make people's eyes shine.

At the end of his speech, Zhang Chong said to the fans present: "This is our first top championship, but it will definitely not be the last!"

The audience burst into cheers.

After the celebration, Zhang Chong also accepted an exclusive interview with Song Lei.

As the first Chinese head coach to lead his team to the Premier League title, his popularity in China is growing day by day.

According to Song Lei, he still has a group of fans in China, which made Comrade Zhang feel a little embarrassed: "Oh, they have discovered this. Our domestic female fans have really good eyesight..."

When asked if he would like to coach the national team in the future, Zhang Chong did not evade: "Leading the national team to the World Cup has always been my dream."

Song Lei was immediately excited, this is big news!

He felt that his trip was well worth it.

Gao Hongbo, who was far away in China, sneezed several times, thinking that this is someone scolding me again.

On the second day after the championship celebration, Zhang Chong summed up the season with the players, looked forward to the next season, told them when to return to the team, and then sent them on vacation.

Of course, their championship bonuses are still very generous, with an extra 20 pounds added to the original 20 pounds per person, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary for many young players.

Director Weller, who has always been stingy, did not object to Zhang Chong's impromptu behavior, because Zhang Chong also gave them an extra [-] pounds for each of the club staff...

The team members happily went on vacation, while Zhang Chong ushered in the annual financial inventory moment.

Due to Bury's outstanding performance this season, the Premier League champions plus the broadcast fee share can make him a profit of about 1000 million pounds, and entering the Champions League next season will allow them to get about 500 million euros. income.

Another source of income is the transfer market, where they made a profit of around £2000m in the transfer window last summer.

Since the wages of the players are not high, their profit this season is as high as [-] million pounds!

Of course, this kind of bonus can only be enjoyed for this year, and many main players are eagerly waiting for a salary increase!

And Weller also brought other good news. After they were determined to win the championship, many sponsors also extended an olive branch to them.

Weller also re-signed a three-year jersey chest sponsorship contract with the former Chinese home appliance giant, and the amount directly increased to 300 million pounds per year!

Of course, there is also a relegation and termination clause. Our home appliance giants are not stupid. There are too many such short-lived small teams.

But for Zhang Chong, this is not a problem at all.

I have a bunch of superstars in my hands, and a dog on a leash on the coaching bench can enter the European theater.

If I'm downgraded, doesn't that mean I'm worse than a dog?

And the new jersey sponsorship is about to start. Adidas has given a sponsorship contract of 1000 million pounds per year for a period of five years.

Although Adidas and Nike made Zhang Chong very upset because of our country's cotton matter, but this is the UK, Zhang Chong wants to build a Hongxing Erke Anta or something, but this is out of the question...

Besides, they gave too much...

The ghost's money, if you don't make money, you don't make money...

There are also some sub-sponsors, which add up to an annual income of 300 million pounds to the club!

This time, Bury's pockets were stretched!
