Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While Dick and Marriner were fighting a lawsuit, the management of Dortmund gathered here in the northwest German city of Dortmund in the Ruhr region of Westphalia-Lenton, even though their team had just made a miraculous comeback a month ago.  -Leverkusen and won the third Bundesliga championship in the club's history. However, now all of their faces can be regarded as gloomy.

    Dortmund is not the private property of any one person - in fact, all German clubs are like this. No individual will be allowed to hold more than 50% of the shares. Bundesliga clubs follow a standard club model, jointly operated and jointly owned.  The chairman is only the manager, not the owner.

    The current chairman of Dortmund, Nebom, has been the chairman of Dortmund for the past sixteen years. Under his rule, Dortmund has reached its peak. Almost all the important honors that Dortmund has received so far have been obtained during his tenure, including three Bundesliga championships and one  Champions League champion and a Toyota Cup champion, of course, a German Cup champion and three German Super Cup champions.

    However, now the silver-haired chairman has a sad face, and beside him, whether it is football director Zorc or club general manager Mayer, all their faces are not good-looking.

    Because just two days ago, Sammer, a former meritorious player who coached Dortmund for two years and won the league championship, and now the outstanding head coach Sammer submitted his resignation to Dortmund on the grounds that he accepted the invitation of the German Football Association and will soon become the German Football Association.  The director of the Youth Guidance Center works hard to change the current situation of the German national team.

    In the just-concluded World Cup, although the German national team unexpectedly won the runner-up in the World Cup, in fact, this German team is still dominated by veterans, and the dilemma of a lack of new players has not changed. Although it was two years ago  After returning from the European Cup, Beckenbauer raised his arms and shouted to strengthen the training of young players. Bundesliga clubs also responded one after another. However, it is impossible to cultivate enough outstanding players in just two years. As a former legendary player, Sommer  It is natural for you to contribute to the country - the Germans have always valued this. This can be seen from the outflow of outstanding young German players a few years later. The Germans have always been able to do anything they want to do  ¡­

    However, Nebom himself knows that Sammer decided to leave Dortmund to report for the national team, not only to strive to cultivate some top young players for the country, but also for another big reason - although Dortmund was last  They won the league championship this season, but it was already the last afterglow - Dortmund's economy is now experiencing a very difficult situation. Although there was no deficit in the season that just ended, based on their salary expenditure and personnel structure, if  If you can't get enough income next season, it's very likely to go bankrupt!

    For Serie A and La Liga clubs, going bankrupt is not a big deal. Serie A clubs have always been good at making false accounts, and the Milan duo are very proficient in this. They often sell me two young players for 10 million, and I sell them  Price you two young players 10 million, so the income on the books will be 10 million more. No one can find the reason anyway, and if the La Liga club's economy is not good, it can be delayed for a while. At worst, it will be operating with debt, which will be miserable.  Let¡¯s talk about it in a few years¡­

    But Bundesliga clubs are different!  The Bundesliga strictly implements the fiscal balance policy. If your club is in debt, then every penny of your income will be used to pay off the debt instead of reinvesting. Everyone knows the difference, just like two businessmen.  , if each has a million in debt at the beginning of starting a business, one can pay it off after a few years, while the other has to pay off the debt every time he earns money. In this way, even if two  The businessmen are equally capable of making money and have similar opportunities. However, two years later, the first businessman may have earned tens of millions and easily paid off his debts, while the other businessman has just paid off his debts.  Start from scratch!

    The management of Dortmund all know that if Dortmund cannot reduce the financial deficit to zero and maintain profitability every season, then when Dortmund's financial deficit reaches a certain level, it will give the club Dortmund  Bring a devastating blow!

    This is no joke - Kaiserslautern encountered a deficit crisis a year or two later. In fact, it was not much, just 6 million euros, but they were forced to sell their top scorer Klose, and not  More or less, it sold for exactly six million euros.  Kaiserslautern did not want to let him go at that time, and Klose himself did not want to leave, but he had to leave, because at that time only Klose could let Kaiserslautern fill this hole!

    In fact, a few years later, Dortmund encountered a much greater economic crisis, and the Dortmund club was forced to use the Westfalenstadion for the next twenty years.??'s ticket revenue was used as collateral to prevent the club from being liquidated and bankrupt, and this was not enough. In the end, it was forced to sell the naming rights of the Westfalenstadion to allow the club to survive this disaster.  It also made Dortmund, which was still one of the top clubs in Germany at the turn of the century, suffer for nearly ten years. It was not until the beginning of 2011 that they recovered and snatched two league championships from Bayern!

    An economic crisis caused Dortmund, a club with a glorious tradition and commendable attendance, to sink for a full ten years. The strict management of German clubs in this regard is evident.

    This approach has naturally brought huge benefits. When other leagues are experiencing economic crises, the Bundesliga is the club with the healthiest finances and the best operation.

    However, such a harsh approach has caused Dortmund to face a severe test.

    "Sammer is leaving. There is nothing we can do about it. We can't keep them." Zorc sighed. He is the banner figure of Dortmund. He has handed over his entire career to Dortmund. After retiring, he  He became the management of Dortmund - basically all Bundesliga clubs have this composition. For example, the three former Bayern superstars Beckenbauer, Hoeness and Rummenigge are in charge of Bayern!

    "The problem now is not to find a head coach, but how to let Dortmund survive." Nebom shook his head and said: "Actually, we are not without options. If we perform well in the next Champions League,  With enough bonuses, our financial situation can be alleviated. In fact, we are not short of money, and our attendance rate is one of the best in Germany!  We will be able to recover It was also my business mistake. In the past few years, we bought many people and spent too much money. One Amoruso cost us 28 million euros!  But we can¡¯t afford to lose"

    "In order to win the championship, there is nothing we can do about it." Mayer shook his head: "But Mr. Chairman, your plan is very difficult. If we want to play in the Champions League next, we must increase the wages of the players and also  If you introduce better players, you will not be able to go further in the Champions League. To win the championship, you need to invest more. This is the consensus of everyone. Otherwise, playing in the Champions League group stage will earn millions.  , it¡¯s of no use.¡±

    "It's not that I don't know this." Nebom sighed and said: "But if we want to achieve this goal, we can only take risks like this. I have calculated that even if we invest tens of millions in the summer, as long as we can enter the quarterfinals,  We will still make money, and with our attendance rate, we can invest in it for another year.¡±

    "Don't forget, Leeds United has now encountered a serious economic crisis! It's because of this risk that it failed! The huge profits from the Champions League are a beautiful temptation, but it is also a dangerous temptation! Anyone who wants to make money from this will lose money  For example, Atletico Madrid, which recently won the Champions League, spent nearly 100 million on the transfer market in two years!  The income is only 50 million! Those who have not encountered an economic crisis do not live on bonuses. They are supported by consortia or membership systems, or they are clubs with outstanding financial resources like Bayern" Zorc  expressed objection.

    "Damn Bayern, how do they have so much money!" Mayer couldn't help but curse.

    "Speaking of Atletico Madridtheir head coach, the young Chinese, has been firedhe has no place to go. The position of the head coach of the top giants is very stable. Can we ask him to be the head coach?"  ? At least it can solve one of the two problems we are facing now." Nebom suddenly said.

    "Are you not crazy, Mr. President? Do you know how much Dick earned in total at Atletico Madrid last season? Close to six million dollars! Sammer's salary of two million dollars is beyond our reach, Dick  His income is not what we can afford! Although we invite him, he will probably come, but although this guy can win the championship, he can also spend money! He won the Champions League with 100 million in two years at Atletico Madrid.  With two league championships, if we could spend money a few years ago, it would be a good choice to invite him. After all, he can win the championship! But now Do we want to be brilliant once or twice in the end, and then die?  "?" Zorc immediately expressed his objection.

    "What you said is correct, Michael." Nebom smiled bitterly: "But can we win the championship with a low-paid head coach? Or can we no longer have an economic crisis? No one has such a situation  Ability! If I had to choose, I would rather let Dick coach me and win a few more championships before our economic crisis breaks out, just to make the fans happy again!We will die next, and that is much better than half-death!  "

    Nebom has always been a very adventurous chairman, otherwise he would not have spent money like crazy in the past few years, buying multi-million-dollar players such as Amoruso, Jankoler, Rosicky, and Kyle. This is an example of failure.  There are also many. Although they won a league championship, it also plunged Dortmund into an upcoming economic crisis.

    Zorc and Mayer looked at each other, then closed their mouths at the same time.

    They are not sure that Dortmund will not be affected by the economic crisis. If the current situation continues, Dortmund will fall into a serious economic crisis in two or three years, then it is really not as good as Nebom said, the final madness, please Dick  Come and play a game or two, maybe you will have a chance to win the second Champions League in the club's history. In that case, even if there is a long decline next, it will be worth it!

    "Then I'm going to send an invitation to Dick." Zorc stood up as he said it.
