"I'm also very confused" Charlene Lahiri gave a wry smile, but on her flowery face, even the wry smile was particularly touching.
Published on Beach Novel Network As a result, the number of fans following her on WeChat surged again to nearly 2,000.
"I once raised this question to Southampton's new boss, Mr.
Yang Huan, but after he listened to my question, he asked me another question."
"What's the problem?"
Lineker was interested.
He believes that not only himself, but also all the viewers who watch the daily match, must be very interested in Southampton's maverick boss.
If there is an opportunity to invite him to do the show in the future, the ratings will definitely skyrocket.
Charlene Lahiri sat on a soft sofa chair, crossed her legs, and showed off her charming long legs to the camera without hesitation, "He asked me in turn, does the football club make money?"
Lineker and Alan Shearer were dumbfounded after hearing this.
Yes, do football clubs make money?
"The most profitable football club at that time was Manchester United, but before the acquisition by the Glazer family, Manchester United's annual profits were only over 10 million.
After the acquisition, the situation became even more dire.
As for Bayern Munich, which is known as the benchmark for business operations, Audi and What’s going on with the shares in Adidas and other companies?”
Having said this, Charlene Lahiri shook her head helplessly, "I found that he was right.
Which football club is profitable or can be truly financially healthy?
How many are there?"
"I have to admit that what he said is indeed right.
You can't make money in professional football even in Europe."
Lineker had to admit this.
"But we should all be clearly aware that business operations The most important thing for a football club is to operate sustainably, how does Southampton solve this problem?”
Charlene Lahiri replied: "Yes, sustainable management, this is about long-term, and from the past period, Southampton's previous contract with sponsor Umbro was two million pounds, but this number has now increased to £5 million."
"Before, Southampton's chest jersey advertisements could not be sold, but now some companies are willing to pay up to five million pounds, but Southampton refused.
In addition, there are also stadium advertisements, brand licensing, etc."
"According to my prediction, Southampton's commercial revenue this season will at least be several times higher than last season."
Lineker and Alan Shearer were both surprised.
They did not expect Southampton's commercial income to be so fast.
"According to the assessment of Cash Harris, a well-known football investment banker in the City of London, Southampton's market value in July was about 20 million pounds, but now, Southampton's market value exceeds 100 million pounds."
Having said this, Charlene Lahiri smiled sweetly again, "But don't forget, they are just a League One team."
"Oh God," Lineker exclaimed, "In just over a month, the market value has increased more than five times.
This is simply a miracle, it's incredible."
Alan Shearer was also shocked and felt that this speed was too fast.
Charlene Lahiri was also a little amazed.
It can be said that she has witnessed everything that Southampton has done in the past month or so.
There are even many things that she is more familiar with and understands than outsiders.
If she were to evaluate it, Southampton's market value of £100 million is still underestimated.
"Okay, thank you very much Ms.
Charlene Lahiri for your analysis."
Lineker ended this topic, "But we still have to go back to the topic just now, why Southampton can attract Ibrahimovic and Neymar joins” Charlene Lahiri smiled, "I said, this is actually a problem."
"Some people say that the value of a player is reflected on the football field, but the value of a professional player is not only reflected on the football field.
Just like when we see Real Madrid introducing Cristiano Ronaldo, do you think he has to help the ball on the field?
How many championships can the team win before it can earn back his transfer fee and salary costs?"
"Actually, the value of professional players lies largely outside the football field, that is, in business operations."
After a pause, Charlene Lahiri smiled confidently, "Then let's look back and see whether the commercial value of Ibrahimovic and Neymar has increased or decreased after they moved to Southampton. " "According to the evaluation of the City of London Investment Bank, although their value on the football field has declined, the overall value is rising because more people know them, understand them, and pay attention to them, and these are valuable of."
Charlene Lahiri's remarks are completely different from those of traditional football media people.

This also made Lineker and Alan Shearer unable to digest it for a while.
"When Mr.
Yang Huan was interviewed by me, he said something that impressed me very deeply.
He said that he hopes that one day, after the completion of the new stadium, Southampton can tell all fans that our tickets are free.
Anyone of you can come and see it anytime you want.”
"That's impossible."
Lineker shook his head vigorously.
Alan Shearer also felt, "This is too idealistic."
Charlene Lahiri laughed, "I thought it was unlikely at first, but then I thought about it seriously.
It's actually possible, but I don't know how far this ideal is from us."
When this Match of the Day special was aired on BBC1, it immediately caused a viewing frenzy.
No one expected that such a temporary special program would reach a peak ratings of 19.6% after it was broadcast on BBC1, far exceeding the ratings of independent television stations during the same time period.
In other words, more than 12 million people were watching this program at the same time.
The total population of the UK is only over 60 million.
It’s incredible to think about it, this is the highest ratings the Daily Match has had in the past two years.
Although the average viewership rating of the entire program was only 16.2%, the number of viewers still exceeded 10 million.
This once again became a national topic in the entire UK.
The next day almost everyone, all newspapers, and all netizens were discussing this matter, especially some of the inside stories revealed by Charlene Lahiri in the show.
For example, Yang Huan said that one day, Southampton will be able to provide free tickets.
This idea immediately aroused enthusiastic support from countless young netizens.
"From today onwards, I will choose to support Southampton, please call me Saint from now on" This comment was pushed to the top of the comments section of major news websites.
It once again proves one thing, free is the ultimate killer, and this is true all over the world.
But there are also many people who are skeptical of Southampton's approach and think it is a hype.
"Since the new season, we have seen that despite Southampton's aggressive signings, the team has never been able to form a fighting force."
“In the third round that just passed, Southampton was held to a 1:1 home draw by Leyton Orient.
This made Southampton, which had high hopes from countless fans before the season, currently ranked 20th in the English League One standings. position, just one step away from the relegation zone.”
"We must admit that some of Southampton's unique ideas and business philosophy are indeed worthy of praise, but the most important thing in professional football is to rely on results."
Regarding this type of statement, Southampton supporters also gave counter-arguments, believing that the current situation of the team is mainly the pain caused by the reform.
I believe everyone knows how complicated Bielsa's tactical system is.
“Has anyone experienced that kind of great reform that happened overnight?”
"The answer is, no" Charlene Lahiri, who became an instant hit after this special episode of Match of the Day and quickly became the perfect goddess in the eyes of countless British otakus, published a report in the Southern Echo to explain her analysis of the current situation in Southampton.
"A lot of people say there are problems at Southampton, but in my opinion there are no problems with this team."
"Yes, in the past three games, they have drawn two and lost one, but all this was without Ibrahimovic and Neymar.
The team has replaced almost half of them in just over a month.
The main lineup was set, and even the head coach’s tactical style was completely different.”
"Southampton has opened its Staplewood training base.
I believe that all fans who enter this training base should be able to feel the atmosphere within this team."
"The league has just started.
It's too early to say that Southampton can't do it."
"I believe Southampton will explode very soon."
Southampton did not give any comment or response to the remarks of the outside media, and the team continued as usual.
Two days after announcing the introduction of Neymar, Southampton once again held a press conference on WeChat, this time to introduce the team's acquisition of Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal from Bayer Leverkusen for 20 million euros.
This is regarded by the outside world as a key signing for Southampton to further strengthen the team's overall strength.
At the same time, the pervasive Sun took a photo of Schalke 04 general manager Peter Petters and agent Krot arriving in London at the same time, and the news that Neuer would join the Premier League team spread like wildfire.
Southampton announced that it would acquire central defender Nastasic from Partizan Belgrade in Serbia for one million pounds.

However, the central defender will be loaned out to Zemun in the Serbian second division for one year and will make his debut in Southampton next summer. ampton.
But this piece of news was drowned in the whirlpool that Neuer would land in the Premier League, and no one would pay attention to this inconspicuous little role.
There are different opinions on the team Neuer may join.
Some people say Manchester United, others say Arsenal, and some even say Liverpool or Manchester City.
All in all, almost all those who are associated with Neuer are top giants.
No one thought it would be Southampton.
Two days later, Southampton held a press conference on WeChat to announce that Neuer had joined Southampton.
The whole of Britain, the whole of Germany, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world is in a state of shock.
It felt like the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, and everyone was filled with shock.
Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Vidal, and now Neuer, the world's number one center, the world's most talented super genius, and a powerful midfielder who gained fame in the World Cup , and a future German goalkeeper who is very optimistic about the outside world.
He actually joined Southampton Why
Why is he the super upstart that this fan calls him?
What is so magical about this team?
Why did both of them choose to join Southampton?
Is it just because this team has money?
Or is there really something magical about this team?
Rummenigge, one of Bayern Munich's big three, said in an interview with German newspaper Bild that he was disappointed that Neuer chose to join Southampton because he was originally supposed to join Bayern Munich.
"We proposed a transfer to Schalke 04, but Schalke 04 refused to negotiate with us.
They finally chose Southampton, which has deep financial resources.
There is nothing we can do about it."
German national team coach Loew also expressed strong concern about Neuer joining Southampton in an interview with the media.
"All German internationals must maintain fierce competition in the league and maintain a good competitive state.
We I don’t think the English League One can improve Neuer’s strength, and I will talk to him about this matter seriously.”
German football star Beckenbauer also questioned Neuer's choice, "The only reason Neuer rejected Bayern Munich is that we are not as rich as Southampton."
As all walks of life in Germany have expressed their opinions, many fans and media have also speculated on how much Neuer's transfer fee will be.
Is it even higher than when Buffon moved to Juventus?
