Chapter 778 Big Trouble
The problems that Chinatown team is facing now are serious and it is indeed very serious.
A very important reason is that Chinatown has only one driver for the three major players that drive the club's development.
Anyone who knows a little about European professional football knows that the majority of club expenditures are either salary and bonuses, or transfer fees, and these two aspects are the guarantee of the club's success.
The club's income is mainly divided into three major parts: TV broadcast income, game day income and commercial income.
As the name suggests, TV broadcast income is the share of broadcast rights. However, in La Liga, the majority of broadcast rights income is controlled by the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid has made great progress in recent years and has only been able to enter the top three, but there is still a certain gap with these two giant teams.
Other teams such as Valencia and Villarrel, who have performed well in the past few seasons, are far behind the broadcast revenue compared to the three giant teams, not to mention newly promoted teams like Chinatown.
Yes, Chinatown is very famous and is surrounded by a halo of high cold. It has a good influence among fans in Europe and even the world. However, the home facilities are too bad and the broadcasting conditions are very poor. In addition, as a new team, the TV broadcaster cannot give Chinatown too much broadcasting resources, and the income they receive will naturally not be high.
The three top teams have been broadcast in every game, so they naturally make a lot of money and have a lot of fun.
In this area of income, Chinatown is even just similar to the newly promoted Mazarez, which is worse than the veteran team Zaragoza.
Game day income is also the majority of club operating income.
Among the four major European leagues, the average ticket price in La Liga is the highest, reaching 50 euros, the Premier League is 44 euros, the Serie A is 48, and the Bundesliga is the cheapest, only 30 euros.
For example, Zaragoza's home court, the Radar Stadium has a capacity of 35,000 people. After entering La Liga, the attendance rate of each game reaches 30,000. If the average price of the Bundesliga is standard, a game will be 900,000 euros, and there are 18 home games in a season, that is more than 16 million euros.
And this is just based on the price of the member season ticket, the actual price will be higher than this one.
But what about Chinatown?
The stadium facilities are very simple, the ticket price cannot be high, the member price is ten euros, there is only one in La Liga, and there is no other semicolon, and the stadium capacity is only 8,000, and each game is full, and it is about 1.5 million in a year.
In other words, Chinatown only has one-tenth of Zaragoza's revenue in terms of ticket revenue.
If Zaragoza is an old team, then teams like Zarez will earn at least five times the ticket revenue that is Chinatown. And you should know that this is just the ticket revenue.
The game-day income of a stadium is not only from tickets, but also a large part of it comes from retail services on the day of the game. It also provides shops and venues for rent, earning considerable rent. All of these add up is a considerable amount.
Chinatown is ranked in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga in terms of commercial income, even compared with Salez, who is also a newly promoted team. The commercial income is nearly ten times that of the latter. In terms of broadcast income, the two teams have little difference, and the biggest difference is the game day income.
The crux of the matter is on the court.
"I've found someone to calculate that Aldevilla Stadium has basically reached its limit, and what we can completely foresee is that after the team starts renewal, other players must keep up immediately. I'm afraid..."
Armando Marcos said worriedly.
He is a loyal fan. He admires Gao Han very much and is very happy to work for Chinatown. However, he must give some reminders to some difficulties, that is, Chinatown will continue like this, not a solution.
Commercial development also has its limits. Gao Han is very famous and Chinatown team has benefited a lot, but once they reach the commercial field, they may not pay attention to these things.
"What do you think you should do?" Gao Han asked.
Armando Marcos thought about it and wanted to make a choice for granted, that is, to attract shareholders.
With Gao Han's influence and the legendary background of Chinatown, there is no fear of not attracting investors. Moreover, the club's existing management can continue to firmly control the management power without worrying about being constrained.
But this plan was shot to death by Gao Han early on.
Then we can only settle for the second best.
"In the foreseeable years, we will not have the right to bargain in terms of broadcast rights unless we can enter the top four of the league steadily and appear in the Champions League, proving our strength."
Armando Marcos' judgment was recognized by Gao Han and Cantalero, which is very realistic.
"In the next few years, with our results in La Liga hindered, we will no longer be able to achieve the rapid development of the business field as before. Therefore, we now have only one choice to increase our game-day income as soon as possible."
Armando Marcos' meaning is already very obvious, the new stadium.
Either build it yourself or rent it.
But the problem is that rent and maintenance costs are also considerable expenses, and it may not be cost-effective for Chinatown.
After Atletico Madrid moved to the new stadium, Gao Han once thought about renting Calderon Stadium, but later he did some calculations and gave up the idea.
"Amando, how big a stadium do you think we can afford?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Armando Marcos thought about it, "I asked the company people to evaluate this point specifically. Judging from the current situation, it is about 15,000, but if we continue to dig deeper into this area in the next few years, the capacity of the new stadium will be at least 30,000."
The surrounding areas of Madrid have a large population, and although there are many teams, for Chinatown, it is not a big problem to attract 30,000 people to the new stadium. Even if the results are excellent, there may not be no further potential.
"My opinion is that we can consider learning the Arsenal model," suggested Armando Marcos.
"Sell the naming right?"
"Yes, maybe we don't have the attractiveness of Arsenal, but with our current influence and attention, we can get 100 million euros or even more income in the naming rights."
Gao Han nodded, it was not impossible.
"If we find a bank loan and we find a way to raise some of it, and after a few hard days, we will build a modern football stadium with 30,000 people, I think it is completely feasible."
After hearing Armando Marcos' words, Gao Han was moved.
He also knows very well that the team's deadlock is now on the stadium. If a new stadium with 30,000 people can be built, it will definitely be a great improvement for Chinatown and will also be a great help to the team's future development.
As for raising funds by himself, Gao Han was not worried. He could provide some, or sell core players in the transfer market in exchange for funds and invest in the construction of a new stadium. I believe this problem is not big.
Moreover, if you fight with the local government, you may get a lot of support.
"Okay." Gao Han nodded heavily, "You contact the partner company immediately and ask them to help find the title provider. As long as we successfully relegate this season, the construction plan for the new stadium will be launched immediately."
Everyone around was also very excited when they heard this, especially Pochettino.
As the team's head coach, every time I lead the team to the away game, I find that the fans in the other side's stands are tens of thousands or tens of thousands, but when I return to Fuen Lavrada, although the fans at Aldevilla Stadium are full, they are only eight thousand, and the gap is too big.
To contact the title agent for the new stadium, Armando Marcos needs to contact some partners with rich experience in sports marketing. They will help Chinatown contact potential title agents. This is not something that can be done overnight, but you must prepare in advance and release the news.
Gao Han and others breathed a sigh of relief when they took the first step to build a new stadium, but the burden on their shoulders was heavier.
Just after everyone discussed the details, Sergio Garcia suddenly came over.
"Hey, I think you should take a look at this." He pointed Gao Han's arm gently.
"What?" Gao Han took it and took a look.
It's a piece of news.
espn, a famous sports live broadcaster from the United States, selected 50 of the most influential figures in the world football today, and FIFA President Blatter ranked first without dispute.
This FIFA president is the most powerful figure in the world football world today. His personal opinion even determines the holding of major events such as the World Cup, involving amazing interests, and it is understandable to win the first place.
But what is really surprising is that Gao Han, who is ranked second on the list of the most powerful figures in the world football, is actually Gao Han.
"Are you wrong?" Gao Han almost got Spartan when he saw his name.
You know, he was having a headache just now for a new stadium, how could he have such a great influence?
After the high cold, the CEO of the South African World Cup Organizing Committee, famous political activist and sports manager Daniel Jordan, UEFA President Platini, Real Madrid President Florentino, Premier League CEO Scudmore, FIFA Secretary-General Valk...
Not only Gao Han, but the others were also shocked when they saw this news. When they looked at Gao Han, their eyes changed a little. After all, this was the selection result given by espn and it has high authority.
"Don't look at me with such eyes. If I really have such influence, I don't have to consider this new stadium. I will just criticize it." Gao Han said with a wry smile.
Isn’t this just causing trouble for yourself?
And it's a big trouble!
Looking at the comments given by ESPN, they believe that Gao Han planned many heavy transfers such as Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, invested an astonishing price of more than 400 million euros in European football, and spent a lot of money to create the Manchester City version of the Galaxy battleship, which was unstoppable in the Premier League this season and was invincible.
Moreover, espn believes that Gao Han has never lost a single defeat since his debut, and has become synonymous with victory and championship, attracting the pursuit of countless fans around the world, and has also become a nightmare for countless opponents.
"In the history of world football, there has never been an outstanding figure like Gao Han."
Judging from ESPN's comments, they chose Gao Han not on a whim, but after careful consideration.
But in Gao Han's own opinion, this list has praised him too much.
Brazilian Football Association Chairman, Spanish Football Association Chairman, Beckenbauer, AFC Chairman, Berlusconi, etc., they all ranked behind the high cold, while Manchester United boss Glazer ranked 21st, Barcelona chairman Laporta ranked 23rd, Bayern Munich’s Rummenig ranked 34th, and Abramovich ranked 36th...
He could imagine that the appearance of this list would definitely cause huge controversy.
