Chapter two hundred and forty-six major events in Valencia (guarantee
Four games without a win, in the eyes of Chang Sheng, is just a normal adjustment of the team's condition. Valencia went too smoothly in the previous two seasons, and it is only now that it has returned to normal.
But to some people, this is an excellent opportunity.
Two days after this game, a big piece of news came out.
For a time, the whole of Valencia ignored the winning team's four-game winless streak and ignored the general disagreement between Chang Sheng and Ronaldinho.
At this time, the ownership change in Valencia is the biggest thing!
"... We learned from informed sources that Soler has successfully acquired Francisco Roig's 30,000 shares... This has made Soler the club's largest shareholder!"
"For Jaime Otti, this is definitely the worst news! The last time Valencia changed its chairman, there were three people competing, among which Otti and Soler competed fiercely... That time Otti succeeded
He was elected president of the club as the first shareholder. And this time, when Soler holds the largest shareholding, it is self-evident what he will do!"
"After Soler successfully became the club's largest shareholder, he immediately made a request for an early presidential election... It is reported that this request has been approved by the Valencia Club board of directors!"
…
Chang Sheng only saw this news while reading the newspaper while having breakfast.
He was so surprised that he didn't even bother to eat the omelette in his mouth, and stared at the newspaper blankly.
Soler became the largest shareholder?
Doesn't this mean Soler will become club president?
Isn't that why he proposed early election of club president?
If Soler becomes club president...
Chang Sheng suddenly felt that things would get very bad.
※※※
When Chang Sheng came to the team, he found that the coach and players were discussing this matter, but they didn't have the same worries as Chang Sheng. They just discussed and treated it as a lively gossip.
After all, the change of ownership will have very little impact on the team after it happens, at least that's what they think. No matter who is the chairman, the team will always have to compete, so everyone still has to do their job.
Even if Soler comes to power, doesn't Valencia need wins and championships?
With this mentality, the Valencia team was little affected by this incident, and everything went on normally during training.
This is the only thing that makes Chang Sheng happy.
Everyone will discuss this matter while training, not knowing who will win the final presidential election.
The conflict between the current club president Jaime Otti and the club's vice president Soler is well known in Valencia. The two people have been fighting since the Cortes era and have been fighting until now.
However, many people feel that even if Soler initiates impeachment, it may not be possible to successfully impeach Oti.
After all, Valencia performed very well under Oti.
There seems to be no reason to abandon such a successful club president.
But Chang Sheng, who is familiar with the direction of history, is not so optimistic.
He remembered that Valencia indeed changed the club president this season in history.
And Valencia's results at that time were also very good.
Prior to this, Benitez led the team to win a league championship, and this season they participated in the UEFA Cup. For Valencia in that time and space, it was already a good result. Many people at the time thought it was
A symbol of Valencia's rise.
But Soler finally succeeded in unseating Oti. The direct trigger was Valencia's two consecutive defeats.
It sounds miserable, but in fact, before this, Valencia had just won the half-season league championship with a winning streak.
However, after losing two games in a row, Soler succeeded in impeaching Oti.
So the root cause is not in grades at all.
In fact, Otti's resignation was doomed long ago. Although Valencia's performance under his rule was good, the economic pressure has always been great. Cortes stepped down, but left a legacy for his successor Otti.
A huge pile of bad debt needs to be repaid by him.
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 compete for the championship and compete in the Champions League, Valencia has greatly increased the wages of its players, resulting in Valencia's economic pressure.
It's so big that it can't be relieved.
Oti's sad dismissal laid the foundation for this.
After restructuring, Valencia is no longer a members-only club, but has become a joint stock company.
So here, the final say is not the fans who hold the votes, but the shareholders who hold the capital.
Fans value performance, while shareholders value the economy. A club that has suffered losses year after year and cannot repay debts is naturally unsafe, because this will affect the year-end dividends of shareholders.
So when Oti stepped down, capital showed its ruthless side.
The fans' opinion didn't matter at all. As soon as the club's board of directors voted, Oti was gone.
Then Soler came on stage, kicking off Valencia's darkest hour in twenty years.
Chang Sheng knows this history, why is he so unhappy with Soler? It's 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, he is not willing to change the head coach.
Due to his natural fanaticism, Chang Sheng felt that there was no way he could last one season under Soler.
Valencia has had six head coaches in four years under Soler. The changes are almost faster than a playboy's girlfriend.
Ranieri, Antonio Lopez, Quique Flores, Oscar Fernandez, Koeman, Boro, among these people, except Flores, no one has been coaching for more than one 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 Soler.
Unexpectedly, history would eventually reach this point.
Soler impeached Otti because of the club's financial problems.
The club's financial problems really left Chang Sheng powerless.
He has not asked the club to increase its support for signings. Basically, he is self-financed and self-sufficient. The transfer funds are earned by selling players. The transfer funds Oti gives him every season,
In the end, not to mention, you can make a lot of money.
Then it will flow until the end of the season. If he does not need to use it, then 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
All the money was confiscated.
But even this is only a drop in the bucket for Valencia's huge debt problem.
But if he even uses the money he earns from selling players to pay off debts, he won't be able to buy suitable players without the money, and he won't be able to lead Valencia out of the fiercely competitive La Liga. The results will be poor.
The financial situation will only get worse.
Now at least the team can enter the Champions League every year, which is a lot of income. The bonuses from 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 cycle. Because there is no investment, the performance will decline. Because the performance will decline, the income will decrease. Because the income will decrease, the investment will continue to decrease.
More investment was made, so the results were worse...
If things go on like this, an originally promising team will completely deteriorate or even be relegated.
This is not alarmist. There was such a living example in La Liga football at the turn of the century.
Why did Deportivo, known as "Super Deportivo", eventually decline and even be relegated?
It was because their club president was so stingy that he basically only sold people every year instead of buying them. Deportivo made net income from the transfer market every year and had no expenses at all.
Even a head coach like Irueta was unable to make a living without rice in the end. The performance of the team was not as good as the previous year. He eventually left the get out of class and Deportivo was relegated to the second division.
No matter what we do, winning 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 and was eventually placed under bank custody.
Valencia is better. After all, it has a solid foundation and some heritage. There is no problem in maintaining the normal operation of the club, but it needs a long-term plan to pay back the money.

The ownership change in Valencia continues to unfold.
Francisco Roig, the former president of Valencia Club, stood up and criticized Oti's governance policy: "Valencia has performed so well in the past two years, why is the team's financial situation still unsatisfactory? Why do we still need to be frugal?
Living a living? Every year we have so much income in the transfer market. We made 40 million from selling Ibrahimovic, and another 60 million from selling Mendieta and Aimar. These are all 100 million.
With the income coming in, why are our debts still not resolved?”
"Roig, this despicable guy who took advantage of the situation!" Oti threw the newspaper on the table. The photo of Francisco Roig was printed on the newspaper.
"He is not taking advantage of the situation, he is just taking the opportunity to retaliate against us for taking away his position as club chairman." Pitach shook his head and said. "I often called him to care about this matter before. I told him not to worry, the club's equity will be changed.
It has nothing to do with the team."
Oti nodded: "You did the right thing. At this time, the team cannot be distracted."
After finishing speaking, he originally wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
Soler was obviously well-prepared and was coming with force. Roig also spoke for him. Although Roig did not have a very good reputation in the Valencia region, he still had his own connections and prestige in the capital world.
Although he has the support of Cortes, Cortes 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...
I'm afraid this time, the odds are against me. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
