Chapter 53 Data Analysis
Frederick's voice was so loud that it carried the entire floor.

Zhang Yang listened outside the door for several times, and the corners of his mouth grinned. Then he took a long breath, adjusted his mentality, and knocked on the door forcefully.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the huge impact of wooden boards immediately attracted everyone in the room.Frederick's throat finally rested.

Grigory cleared his throat, "Come in!"

Zhang Yang walked in straight, with a smile on his face all the time, as if he was in a good mood, but everyone in the room knew that the knock on the door just now was definitely a reminder and protest to Frederick for reading the snitch.

Zhang Yang glanced at Frederick.

Frederick was a little embarrassed. No matter what kind of person you say bad things later, it is not an honor to be caught by the people at the time, but he quickly adjusted his mood and put on a look of "I just said so" thick-skinned attitude.

Everyone else smothered their laughter.

"Cough cough..."

Grigory coughed a few times, slightly relieving the awkward atmosphere, and also attracted everyone's attention, and then he talked about the business, "I'm calling everyone here now, because I have something important to discuss."

Everyone gets serious.

"You all should know that the club's economic situation is not very good recently. We have a bank loan of 150 million pounds that is due, and we must pay it back before February."

"So, I'm sorry, Denise." Gregory looked at Wise, "I can't provide you with transfer funds this winter."

Denise Wise nodded after listening, he had been prepared for a long time.

Millwall is so poor!
In the glorious place of football in the London region, there are a lot of top teams, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, the four teams almost monopolize London, and they are at the same level as Millwall There are several small clubs in China, Watford, Charlton, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, etc. are all good teams.

Millwall has a century-old history, but it has faced fierce competition throughout its history.

This kind of competition is mainly reflected in the competition for fans.

Fan competition is at a disadvantage, and insufficient fan support will directly affect the club's finances.

When the time entered the 21st century, the commercialization of football developed rapidly, but Millwall has never entered the top league. Needless to say, in the whole of England, the entire London area, even in the Millwall area and surrounding areas, the influence is limited , The development of the club has also stagnated somewhat.

At present, the market value of the entire Millwall club is only about 800 million pounds. The club has a lot of debts, and the only visible asset is the Neil Stadium. In order to have money to invest in the transfer market in July, even this season All home game ticket revenues are pledged to banks for loans.

It is almost impossible for such a team to come up with funds during the winter transfer period.

What Grigory wanted to talk about was not just the lack of money to transfer, otherwise he would not have to call everyone. After he finished talking about no transfer fee, he continued to talk, "We need to sell players to raise funds."

"Sell players?"

Wise, Frederick, and Zhang Yang are all a bit unacceptable. Millwall is still in the relegation zone. If they sell their main players, whether the team can survive relegation will definitely become a problem.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Grigory sighed slightly, "I can't help it either. The club's situation is like this. We need to raise funds, otherwise the debt will be due and the bank will be in great trouble to collect money."

Grigory refers to the audit of accounts.

If the debt is due and the contract is not repaid for a long time, the bank has the right to send someone to check the assets of the Millwall Club. At that time, all debts will be exposed to the media and the public.

The current economic situation in Millwall is basically "tearing down the east wall and filling the west wall". If all the debts are exposed, they may face large-scale debt collection, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time. Due to the team's performance, the team cannot complete relegation, and the club can almost only face bankruptcy.

In comparison, selling a key player doesn't seem like a big deal.

The next few people began to discuss.

Gregory asked Wise to name the players who could be considered for sale, but as the team leader, he certainly didn't want to sell the main players. Wise said only some corner players.

Gregory's answer, of course, was no.

Those players can't sell much money at all. At the end of the season, the club will even consider letting them leave on a free transfer in order to reduce salary expenditures.

This made Weiss very embarrassed.

There are only a few valuable players in the club. They are the main players and the pillars of the team's battle in the league. It is too difficult to decide which one to sell.

Eventually Wise said two names.

One is Jody Morris. He is the core midfielder of the team and the most valuable player in Millwall. He is worth more than 300 million pounds. It can be said that Morris is the top half of the team.

If Jody Morris is sold, the club will definitely have no problem paying off its debts, but without the core midfielder, it is not certain how well the team can perform.

Wise's idea is that as long as he plays more games, he can also make up for the lack of Jody Morris' departure.

Others know his thoughts, so they probably won't be too optimistic.

Wise is a former big star. "Once" is the past, not the present. His age is such that it is difficult to persist in playing nine 10-minute games. In addition, he runs less on the court.

Jody Morris is a player who is in his prime and can play consecutively for Millwall and play the whole game. His technical strength is superb, his level is quite strong, and he has rich experience.

If there is no chance, he is fully capable of going to the top league.

Compared with the two, Morris clearly won.

The other is striker Scott Dobby, the former West Bromwich Albion striker who joined Millwall this summer for a transfer fee of £200 million.

So far, Scott Dobby has not played well. He has only contributed one goal for the team and missed a penalty kick in the last game. However, Wise believes that Dobby just did not adapt to the environment of Millwall. , the future performance will definitely get better and better.

Who can score for Millwall in the second half if Scott Dobby is sold?He is not capable of replacing a striker.

For this reason, Wise ranks Scott Dobby after Jody Morris.

Wise named two players, and everyone started working together.

Jody Morris?
Scott Dobby?

This is a difficult choice. Both of them are very important to Millwall, and several people have discussed and discussed it to no avail.

Wise didn't want to sell any of them.

Gregory tends to sell Jody Morris, because Morris is more valuable, and Scott Dobby has just joined the team, and selling now is tantamount to admitting the failure of the transfer.

Frederick doesn't even have an inclination. He talks about Jody Morris's indispensability, Scott Dorby's better performance, and how important they are to the team. , Selling one of them, what kind of consequences will there be? The people in the room don't understand what he is trying to express.

Ebenezer just listened quietly, with a slight smile on his face, as if 'it doesn't matter which player to sell'.

Zhang Yang is a complete outsider.

He has only come to the club for the second time, and he is only a 'match instructor'. He can't say which player he wants to sell.

Choosing between the two is often difficult.

Several people thought about it and discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't make up their minds. Ebenezer couldn't help but said, "You don't want to ask Zhang's opinion? He is the game instructor and is responsible for leading the team with Dennis. I think his opinion is also important."

Several people in the room looked at Zhang Yang.

Frederick said disdainfully, "He just came to the club, and he can't even recognize the names of the players. Can he have any good suggestions?"

Wise said nothing.

Gregory asked, "Zhang, what do you think? Scott or Jody, which one do you choose?"

Zhang Yang had already thought about it just now, but he felt that he had no room to speak. When he heard Gregory ask, he said, "If I were to choose, I think selling Scott Dobby would have a greater impact on the team." Smaller."

"why?"

"Because Scott Dobby's performance is not good." Zhang Yang began to speak with statistics, "If I remember correctly, from August to now, Scott Dobby has 8 starts in the league, 12 substitutes, played a total of nearly 3 minutes, but he only scored one goal! Just one goal! It can be said that the team's current ranking at the bottom of the league is also related to Scott Dobby's poor performance. If you score a few, maybe the team's ranking will not be so low."

Wise couldn't help but said, "But I've said it all, he probably just doesn't get used to it..."

"Probably?" Zhang Yang asked, "Are you sure he can adapt in the future? What if he can't adapt throughout the season?"

Weiss pursed his lips.

There are many factors for a player's poor performance, and no one can be sure that Scott Dobby will perform well next.

Zhang Yang asked everyone to digest what he just said, and continued, "I chose Scott Dobby, and there is another reason. I have read the information on Scott Dobby, he is not that kind of genius, but from He played in the lower leagues, first with Carlisle United, a team whose name is hard to remember, and then he went to West Bromwich Albion, when he was 23 years old, West Bromwich Albion played for 4 In the first season, he also played two seasons in the Premier League with him."

Zhang Yang paced the room and said slowly, "In his first Premier League season, he played 31 times for West Bromwich Albion and scored 5 goals. His scoring efficiency was not high."

"Two years later, that is, last season, he only played 5 times, not because of injury, or other force majeure, but because of poor performance, West Bromwich Albion lost his place."

"As I said, he is not a genius. It is true that he can play the main role in West Bromwich Albion in the Championship, but as long as there is a choice, West Bromwich Albion will not use him."

"At the age of 23, he played 43 times in the Championship and only scored 10 goals. In the past few seasons, he has not scored more than five goals. Now he is over 5. He is almost 28 years old, and he has already started to go downhill. Who expects him to have a second career without adapting to Millwall?"

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

After about half a minute, Grigory clapped his hands together, and the others, whether they wanted to or not, followed suit.

Ebenezer gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up.

Grigory turned his head and said to Frederick, "Zhang can tell such accurate data, do you still think he hasn't worked hard?"

Frederick remained silent.

He couldn't help it.

Just now Zhang Yang just used data to analyze Scott-Dobby has no future, but even he doesn't know the data that are clear, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to remember these.
