"Platini really did you a favor."

Malwood looked at the newspaper in admiration.Rist smiled.Because Platini is indeed very face-saving.Because the Champions League will start soon, Platini accepted some views on the Champions League.

Originally, according to Platini's UEFA chairmanship, he shouldn't say too much.But Platini seemed to have forgotten his identity. In the interview, he highly praised Barcelona and believed that Guardiola was building a great team.

Then he changed the subject and began to praise Messi vigorously. "Messi is the diamond of a great team. Barcelona still has many great stars, such as Henry, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Alves... But they cannot do without Messi."

In the UEFA official website that came out later, when introducing the UEFA Champions League next season, a photo of Messi was posted.Messi became the representative star of UEFA to promote the Champions League.UEFA's appreciation for Messi is evident.

"It's not giving me face. Platini needs a team and a player to be his face. Leo just caught his eye."

"Without you, why would you choose Messi?"

Marwood has already accepted his fate in Manchester City.When he first came to Manchester City, he still wanted to show his talents.After all, Manchester City was still a relegation club when the Abu Dhabi consortium took over.To turn such a club into a strong team, there must be many places to show their talents.It's a pity that after arriving in Manchester City, he realized that his sports director was completely useless.

First of all, because Mansour did not specifically interfere at the beginning, Alphahim was directly in charge of it before.Then there is Rist, a powerful agent, who has a very close relationship with Alphahim.This season, Pellegrini has been brought in as a coach.Now that Alphahim has slowly completed his role, Mansour moves to the fore.

Sandwiched between Mansour, Rist, and Pellegrini, Marwood has absolutely no room for development.On the contrary, Marwood's current business is one thing, and that is negotiation.

Whatever player Pellegrini wants, Marwood's task is to help Manchester City negotiate with their opponents.In addition, he basically has no say in Manchester City's signings.

"Rist, Yaya Toure's salary is too high. You should know that UEFA will soon monitor the finances of major clubs. You won't know how much Manchester City's annual income is."

"It's not high. After all, it can't be compared with before. The pound has depreciated too fast in the past two months. I can only do so. I can't let Yaya come to Manchester City from Barcelona, ​​​​and his salary will drop instead."

The depreciation of the pound has surprised many.In the past three months.The pound is depreciating at an ever-increasing rate.Compared with three months ago, it has depreciated by more than 30.00%.This devaluation caused the income of many Premier League players to drop several notches immediately.They were originally the top salaries in European football, but after the depreciation of the pound, they could only retreat one after another.

Just like Torres before the depreciation of the pound, in terms of salary, he could almost rank among the top three in European football.But with the depreciation of the pound.Now he can get an annual salary of less than 700 million euros after tax every year.Before Torres's after-tax annual salary was almost 900 million euros.

Of course they lost a lot.But Rist is making a lot of money.Although compared with those masters who specialize in the foreign exchange market.But Rist also made more than 7000 million euros by virtue of this big depreciation of the pound.Originally, the Rist team hoped to use a more risky approach, but Rist likes to be steady.So in the end, it only earned more than 7000 million euros.

"Rist, but Manchester City has to deal with UEFA."

"Hehe. Brian. You are telling a joke. Didn't Sheikh just forgive Manchester City's debt of more than three billion pounds two days ago and exchange them all for equity."

As far as Manchester City is now, he can't pass UEFA's inspection even if he is killed.UEFA's financial fair play policy requires clubs to have no more than £4500 million in debt a year.This is the minimum requirement.

With Manchester City's virtues, this is simply impossible.Not to mention other things, Manchester City's current salary has exceeded 16 million pounds.This is just the beginning, because Manchester City has performed well this season, so the salaries of Manchester City players must be raised.In particular, Torres' weekly salary of [-] pounds made Carlos Tevez dissatisfied.Tevez also wants a big salary.And because of the depreciation of the pound, Torres' salary also needs to be adjusted.

Plus Modric, David Silva, Kompany, and Thiago Silva generally have low salaries, but after this season, their salaries will definitely increase a lot.Adding all these up, it is estimated that Manchester City's first-line main players will have the lowest salary of [-] pounds.As for Manchester City's own youth training players Joe Hart, Sturridge, and Richards, their weekly salaries are only [-] to [-] pounds.Their agent is also around the corner.

It is estimated that Manchester City's total salary next season should be able to reach about 3000 million pounds. If two more high-paid players are introduced, it can even reach 5000 million pounds.And now Manchester City's annual income is less than [-] million pounds, and Manchester City has a deficit of tens of millions of pounds every year in terms of salary alone.

With such virtues, it is impossible for Manchester City to enter the Champions League even if they have a place in the Champions League.UEFA's first sanction must be an upstart like Manchester City who has no influence and no connections in European football.

From 07 to now, Manchester City has invested more than [-] million euros in the transfer market.With the income of Manchester City, it is impossible to get this money out.These were all Mansur took out of his own pocket.Therefore, the money was actually lent to the Manchester City club by Mansour personally. Now Mansour has erased all the money and turned it into the equity of Manchester City.This time, the huge debt owned by Manchester City is gone.It can only be said that Mansour is too rich.Things worth more than three billion pounds can be erased as soon as they are said to be erased.

"Even if it is erased, Manchester City is still losing money every year. Salaries must be controlled."

Listening to Marwood's words, Rist shook his head.Player salaries have been fired into the clouds by upstarts like Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as top giants like Real Madrid.Unless the entire European football world collapses, it is absolutely impossible for players' salaries to drop.It is easy to go up, but it is very difficult to come down.

"Bryan, what Manchester City has to do now is not how to control salary. It should be how to increase income."

With less than £[-]m in revenue, Manchester City is unlikely to pass UEFA's Financial Fair Play policy with or without other player transfers.The best way to do that is to increase your income.

"But it's not easy."

After Mansour took over, Manchester City's income has doubled.In 07, Manchester City's revenue was only around £4000 million.In less than two years now, it is about to break through [-] million pounds.

"Bryan, although I haven't managed the club, I can do the math for you. If Manchester City can enter the top four, then there will be more than 5000 million pounds in broadcast revenue. It is nearly 2000 million pounds more than last season. By then Entering the Champions League, even if you go to the group stage, you can guarantee nearly 3000 million euros. If you perform well and enter the knockout round, then there is no problem with the income breaking through 4000 million euros. There's going to be a lot of growth, and with stadium revenue, it's not out of the question to hit $5000 million next season."

And Rist knew a little bit more.That is, in order to increase Manchester City's income, Mansour brought his brother company over to sponsor him.And the sponsorship fee is as high as 4000 million pounds a year, which shocked the entire European football world.So much so that clubs such as Bayern, Arsenal, and Liverpool have asked UEFA to find out the contract.

But the chief played very well.What could UEFA find out, and finally UEFA approved the contract.In this way, Manchester City won a ten-year sponsorship contract of 4000 million pounds a year, which greatly increased their income.

According to the development of Manchester City, as long as they get a place in the Champions League this season, it is not a dream to earn more than 2014 million pounds next season, or the next season.But something that is entirely possible.Historically, in 3.3, Manchester City's revenue reached [-] million pounds, only worse than Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Bayern, becoming the fifth highest-income club.

Now Manchester City's development is far better than in history.So far this season, 22 rounds have passed, and Manchester City is still ranked No.2 in the Premier League.It is certain that this year's revenue will exceed [-] million pounds, and I don't know how much it will exceed.

"you really……"

"Bryan, now that the salaries of players are soaring, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Look at Kaka, who enjoys an annual salary of more than 800 million after tax in Real Madrid. There are also Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery, who are all more than 900 after tax. Looking at Henry, that’s 800 million euros after tax. Even if Yaya can’t match them, it’s not too much to get [-] million euros after tax.”

Rist's negotiation with Manchester City this time is not about one or two.In addition to Yaya Toure who is about to transfer, there are Torres, David Silva, and Thiago Silva. Their contracts all need to be negotiated.Therefore, Rist is not in a hurry. This negotiation is estimated to take several months.Every time we talk about it, we talk about the general situation, and the specific data will require a long period of negotiation.

"Our annual salary of more than 400 was the top superstar. Later, we were surprised by the annual salary of one million. I didn't expect that as long as the players with similar strength are now three or four million, four or five million. Even the top players come out. The annual salary is tens of millions."

Marwood is a player in the 80s. Seeing the current salary increase, he is envious and jealous. (To be continued..)
