LOSC Lille entraîneur brise le silence avec une déclaration de 5 mots après avoir expulsé d...

In Part 1 and 2 of my Lille OSC series, I talked about creating a club ethos and evaluating their finances. You can read Part 1 and 2: here and here.

The ethos sets the club up for giving them a “guiding light” to drive the club forward, while looking at the finances we found Lille are currently financially mismanaged and need to reduce costs. We’re going to assume that they’ve reduced “other costs” but there is another cost they need to make lower and this leads us to the problem at hand: reducing the wage budget from €49 million to €24 million.

In my opinion, the analysis that could be beneficial to clubs is evaluating player wages. Are they getting paid fairly based on their performance level and how much they play? Are they getting overpaid, underpaid, or perfectly? These questions I can answer and will help us reduce the wage bill, as previously mentioned.

Below is the dashboard that evaluates most of the players Lille OSC have at their disposal to start next year. Due to time, I included everyone that are under contract by Lille OSC and played for Lille OSC, Royal Mouscron, Boavista, Troyes, Flamengo, Kortrijk, Pau FC, and Panathinaikos. It also includes a converted xSalary based on the level the loaned players were playing at. So for example, if a player was playing in a lower league, they’ll probably have a lower estimated salary but potentially a high xSalary because they’ve played a lot. Again, it all depends on their situation.
