Relegation team!

The truly capable coaches are becoming more and more bold in speaking because they have the confidence. Did you fire me? Anyway, some clubs later asked me to coach.

Many times they remain restrained and only tell the truth when the situation is very unfavorable.

At the pre-release conference between Fulham and Manchester United, Fulham coach Silva couldn't hold it in. "How should we do to feel like a club? We only had two or three players so late last year. This year we also had plans, but the plan was ruined. This is our fault, and we didn't take action at all. How can we be satisfied?"

Honest people, Fulham knows to bully honest people. If I had known that the club would still have the same idea of ​​surviving, Silva would have accepted invitations from other teams.

22-23 season was a relatively successful summer window for Fulham. He bought Paligna, Diop, Lukic, Pereira and others early. That is a must-strength after returning to the Premier League, and it is indeed a good buy.

sold Mi Shen in the 23-24 season and introduced Ivobi and Barcelona, ​​with a net investment of only 20 million pounds, which is quite reasonable.

Selling Paligna in the 24-25 season made a big profit, introducing Smith Lovie, Anderson, and Borg. They signed relatively late, with a net investment of only 25 million pounds.

By this year, Carlos Vinicius left the team freely and signed a 34-year-old goalkeeper Leconte for 500,000 euros. What is this? But?

So, you can completely understand Silva's mood.

Last the team was finally brought to 11th point last season. Who doesn’t want to go forward and get a little bit of it?

We need to take a look at Fulham's financial situation in recent years.

22-23 season revenue 182 million pounds loss 26 million pounds

23-24 season revenue 186 million pounds loss 33.4 million pounds

24-25 season expected revenue 190 million pounds loss 30 million pounds

From the perspective of the scale of the loss, it is still within the three-year cumulative red line stipulated by the Premier League PSR rules.

The general revenue of Premier League giants is 600 million pounds, and teams such as Villa also have 300 million pounds. Fulham has limited influence around the world, and it is normal that commercial sponsorship revenue cannot be increased.

Although Fulham is located in the wealthy district in western London, it is indeed a small club, but their season tickets are the most expensive in the Premier League, with £30 million. In order to meet the needs of some tycoons, the home stadium of Craven Farm Stadium actually has a unique private room like an open-air swimming pool on the second floor.

The owner of Fulham is a Pakistani-American businessman Shalid Khan. He was born in Lahore in 1950 and later went to the United States to study. His main business is to produce auto parts.

Now the person who manages the specific affairs of the club is his son, Tony Khan. This guy likes to wrestle, but actually knows nothing about football.

Therefore, every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Fulham's opponent Manchester United is hard to sell the bomb disposal team, and it is impossible to sell at a low price. Fulham's signings were only 500,000 euros, and Manchester United spent 200 million pounds, so how can this be compared?

When we understand these financial backgrounds, we must admire coaches like Silva even more. If it were a fool like Lopetegui to coach, Fulham might be a lift and fell back to the Championship. But isn’t Silva, with almost the least net transfer investment in the Premier League every year, keeping Fulham stable at the Premier League’s waist?

Some people say that Fulham is a little rich, while others like them to rob the rich and help the poor. So will you expect Fulham to beat Manchester United at Craven Farm tomorrow night?
