Chapter 246 The Big Event in Valencia

In Changsheng's view, the four-round winless is just a normal adjustment of the team's state. Valencia went too smoothly in the previous two seasons, and it is only now that it has returned to normal.

But in some people's eyes, this is a perfect opportunity.

Two days after this game, there was a piece of heavy news.

For a while, the entire Valencia ignored the winning team's four rounds of invincibility, ignoring the general feud between Chang Sheng and Ronaldinho.

At this time, Valencia's shareholding change is the biggest thing!

"... We learned from insiders that Soler has successfully acquired 30,000 shares of Francisco Roig... This makes Soler the number one shareholder of the club!"

"For Jaime Otti, this is definitely the worst news! The last time Valencia replaced the chairman, there were three people competing, among which Otti and Soler had the most intense competition... that time Otti succeeded Elected as the chairman of the club as the first shareholder. And this time, when Soler holds the largest shareholding, what he will do is self-evident!"

"After Soler successfully became the club's number one shareholder, he immediately put forward a request for an early election of the chairman... It is reported that this request has been approved by the Valencia Club's board of directors!"

...

Chang Sheng only saw the news while reading the newspaper while having breakfast.

He was so surprised that he didn't even bother to eat the fried egg in his mouth, and stared blankly at the newspaper.

Soler became the largest shareholder?

Doesn't this mean that Soler will become the club president?

Isn't that why he proposed to hold the election of the club chairman in advance?

If Soler becomes club president...

Chang Sheng suddenly felt that things were going to go bad.

※※※

When Chang Sheng came to the team, he found that the coaches and players were discussing this matter, but they didn't have the worry of Chang Sheng. They just discussed and treated it as a lively gossip.

After all, such things as shareholding changes will have little impact on the team after they happen.

At least they think so. No matter who is the chairman, the team always has to play, so everyone's job still has to be done.

Even if Soler comes to power, doesn't Valencia need victories and championships?

With this mentality, the Valencia team was not affected by this incident, and everything in training was normal.

This is the only thing that makes Chang Sheng feel gratified.

Everyone will discuss this matter while training, and they don't know who will win the presidential election in the end.

The conflict between the current club president Jaime Otti and the club's vice-president Soler is well known in Valencia. The two have been fighting since the time of Cortes, and have been fighting until now.

However, many people feel that even if Soler initiates the impeachment, it may not be possible to successfully impeach Otti.

After all, Valencia did well under Otti.

There seems to be no reason to ditch such an accomplished club president.

But Chang Sheng, who is familiar with the direction of history, is not so optimistic.

He remembered that Valencia in history did indeed change the club chairman this season.

And Valencia at that time was also very good.

Prior to this, Benitez led the team to a league title, and this season they participated in the UEFA Cup. For Valencia in that time and space, it was already a very good result. Many at the time saw this as a sign of Valencia's rise.

But Soler managed to unseat Otti in the end. The direct trigger was Valencia's two-game losing streak.

It sounds miserable, but in fact, before that, Valencia had just won the half-time league championship with a winning streak.

However, after losing two games in a row, Soler successfully impeached Otti.

So the root cause is not in grades at all.

In fact, Otti's resignation was already doomed. Because although Valencia under his rule has achieved good results, the economic pressure has always been great. Cortez stepped down, leaving his successor, Ottie, with a bad debt to pay.

Until now, Valencia's debts are far from being paid off.

Benitez does not have the ability to make money in the transfer market like Chang Sheng. In addition, in order to hit the championship and play in the Champions League, Valencia has greatly increased the salaries of the players, which has caused Valencia's economic pressure to remain high and cannot be relieved.

The foreshadowing of this Ottie's sad dismissal was laid.

After the restructuring, Valencia is no longer a membership club, but a joint stock company.

So here, it is not the fans who hold the votes, but the shareholders who hold the capital.

What fans value is performance, and what shareholders value is economics. A club that has been losing money year after year and whose debts cannot be exchanged is naturally unsafe, because this will affect the year-end dividends of shareholders.

So in the matter of Otti's resignation, capital showed its ruthless side.

The opinion of the fans doesn't matter at all. As soon as the club's board of directors voted, Otti went out.

Then Soler took the stage and kicked off Valencia's darkest hour in two decades.

Chang Sheng knew about this period of history, so why was he so unhappy with Soler? It is because he knows that this is not a good chairman, and the team will definitely not end well in his hands. With his amateur management level and his natural enthusiasm for changing the head coach, Chang Sheng felt that he would not be able to last a season under Soler.

Valencia changed six managers in four years under Soler. It's faster than a playboy's girlfriend.

Ranieri, Antonio Lopez, Keek Flores, Oscar Fernandez, Koeman, Boro, among these people, except for Flores, no one has coached for a year.

Any club president who likes to change the head coach is the natural enemy of the head coach.

So Chang Sheng doesn't like Sorel.

Unexpectedly, history has come to this point in the end.

Soler impeached Otti because of the club's financial problems.

And the club's financial problems really made Chang Sheng powerless.

He has not asked the club to increase support for signings. Basically, he is self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and the transfer funds are all earned by selling players. The transfer funds that Otti gave him every season can't be used up in the end, and he can make a lot of money.

Then it will flow until the end of the season. If he doesn't need to use it, it will be handed over to the club and let them use it freely. Just like when he bought Ronaldinho, he spent more than 70 million and spent 37 million, and the rest of the money was confiscated.

But even so, it is only a drop in the bucket for Valencia's huge debt problem.

But if he even used the money he earned from selling players to fill his debts, he would have no money to buy suitable players, and he would not be able to lead Valencia out of the fiercely competitive La Liga. The financial situation will only get worse.

Now at least the team can enter the UEFA Champions League every year, which is a considerable amount of income. The bonuses for winning the Champions League and the league alone can maintain the normal operation of the club.

If you don't invest a penny in the transfer market, it will only make the team fall into a vicious circle. Because there is no investment, the grades decline. Because the grades decline, the income decreases. Because the income decreases, the investment continues to decrease. Because more investment is reduced, the grades are even worse...

If things go on like this, it will completely degenerate and even relegate an otherwise promising team.

This is not alarmist talk, just at the turn of the century in La Liga football, there is such a living example.

Why did Deportivo, known as the "Super Deportivo", finally decline or even be relegated?

It is because the president of their club is too stingy. In the later period, they basically only sell people every year, and do not buy people. Deportivo has a net income in the transfer market every year, and there is no expenditure at all.

Even for a head coach like Irueta, in the end, it was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The performance of the team was not as good as the year after year, and finally he left get out of class, and Deportivo was also relegated to the second division.

No matter what you do, Chang Sheng can't help the club's financial problems.

This is the second time he has encountered financial problems with the team while coaching.

Getafe almost went bankrupt directly, and was finally entrusted by the bank.

Valencia is better. After all, the foundation is solid and there is still some background. It is no problem to maintain the normal operation of the club, but to pay back the money has to be considered in the long run.

※※※

The event of Valencia's shareholding change continued to ferment.

Francisco Roig, the former chairman of the Valencia Club, stood up and criticized Otti's ruling policy: "Valencia has achieved such good results in the past two years. Why is the team's financial situation still unsatisfactory? Why do we still need to save money?" Living? Every year we have so much income in the transfer market, selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic made us 40 million, and selling Mendieta and Aimar is another 60 million, which is 100 million income, why are our debts still unresolved?"

"Roig, a despicable villain who took advantage of the fire!" Otti threw the newspaper on the table, and the photo of Francisco Roig was printed on the newspaper.

"He didn't take advantage of the fire, he just took the opportunity to retaliate against us for robbing him of the club chairmanship." Pitage shook his head and said. "Before I often called to care about this matter, I told him not to worry, the club's shareholding change has nothing to do with the team."

Ottie nodded: "You did the right thing. At this time, the team cannot be distracted."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to continue to say a few words, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Soler is obviously well prepared and menacing. And Roig helped him speak. Although Roig's reputation in Valencia is not very good, he still has his own relationship and prestige in the capital world. Although he has the support of Cortez on his side, Cortez has little influence in the capital world.

And as far as he knows, some shareholders who originally supported him have switched to Soler's side...

This time, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good. (to be continued)
