Football Giants

Richard Scudmore sat at the round table and glanced at the crowd, feeling very stressed.

As the chief executive of the Premier League, his annual salary is only close to one million pounds.

But anyone sitting in it represents a huge consortium with amazing wealth.

They are the kind of masters who can make an industry quake with one word!

Even if they said the last sentence, they might lose their title as CEO of the Premier League.

Can it be stressful? Can you not tremble?

He was so, David Bernstein was even more depressed.

He is not as good as Skudmore!

"Everyone, thank you for participating in the regular meeting of the Premier League Presidents Summit!"

There was no applause, but everyone was listening in silence.

Skudmoore seems to be used to it too. It's difficult to make this group of big bosses applaud!

"First of all, as usual at the end of the season, let me introduce you to the three new members first!"

Every season, the Premier League will have three newly promoted horses.

In other words, three people leave and three people come in every year.

This is custom!

"Mr. David Gold, the boss of West Ham United!"

When Yang Huan came to the UK two years ago, he had contact with West Ham United, but did not acquire the team later.

On the contrary, it was David Gold who teamed up with a wealthy Welsh man and an investment bank in Norway to jointly acquire West Ham United.

However, David Gold's own financial resources are not strong, with a net worth of only 250 million pounds.

"This is Mr. Anton Zingarevic, a rich Russian man, the owner of the Reading team!"

The Russian nodded faintly towards everyone, which was regarded as a compliment.

Zingarevic is only thirty years old this year. He is Russia's most famous rich second generation, but he has a staggering net worth. With a huge asset of 3.4 billion pounds, he can be called the best rich second generation in Russia.

But Zingarevic’s most impressive thing is not his wealth, but his bubbling wife.

As a signed model of Victoria's Secret, Garcia Zingarevic has always been a unique and beautiful landscape in the Reading stand.

Even a few days ago, the Sun has just done a fan survey, who will be the most beautiful first lady in the Premier League stand in the new season, Southampton, Reading and Liverpool ranked top three.

After all, the charm of Victoria's Secret female models is not as good as that of Zhuang Ziqing.

"Finally, the boss of Southampton, Mr. Yang Huan!"

Yang Huan just smiled faintly when he heard Scudmore say his name, always sitting upright.

No one else stood up to say hello, why did you stand up?

The others all looked at Yang Huan together, surprised at his youth.

You know, Zingarevic is only thirty years old, young enough.

But in the face of the relatively old Russian rich second generation, Yang Huan looks like a tender and charming little piece of fresh meat.

I believe that there must be many people who are not familiar with Yang Huan who are skeptical. This is the last two years that brought Southampton to the UEFA Champions League and became the strongest newly promoted Premier League Saint owner in history?

This is too young, right?

It's so young!

But there are also people who are in the mood to watch the show, just want to see how this legendary saint boss can resolve the immediate crisis.

You know, this time the Premier League team has reached an agreement on the issue of Southampton, but very rarely.

A brief introduction to the three new members, Scudmore began to introduce some of the Premier League in the past three months, and among them, the most concerned about everyone at the scene was undoubtedly starting in 2013. The progress of the Premier League broadcast rights auction.

"At present, five TV stations including Sky TV, British Telecom, and ESPN have signed up to participate in the bidding of local broadcasting rights. In addition, the bidding of North American copyright has also attracted the participation of many TV organizations including Fox, ESPN, and other overseas regions. Copyright, as well as copyright auctions on other platforms such as the Internet, will also be put on the agenda one after another."

When Scudmore introduced this matter, he seemed very hard.

This is his biggest bargaining chip for the chairman of the Premier League!

"According to the current negotiations with Sky TV and many other TV organizations, this auction will still be divided into seven package packages, but the number of live broadcasts will increase significantly compared to the previous contract!"

This is the result of compromise after the two parties negotiated.

Although Skudmore did not say clearly, he is actually telling everyone that the Premier League broadcast rights will be more generous than the previous one, and it is not impossible to double the rumors of the outside world.

This caused an uproar in the entire round table conference room.

It's amazing, isn't it?

David Bernstein is even more jealous and hateful. For such a big piece of cake, nothing happened to their FA.

That is more than a billion pounds in income a year!

Skudmore glanced around, remembering everyone's reaction.

When passing by Yang Huan, he found that the Southampton boss was not surprised at all, and looked completely unmoved.

The patience of this young master Huan is too homey, right?

Isn't such a large income not enough to make him tempted?

After thinking about it, Skudmore felt it was no wonder.

The outside world has always been rumored that Yang Huan is just a game company with a daily income of more than 10 million pounds.

Too much money!

Regardless of how high the Premier League broadcast rights are sold, it is actually divided, even if it is the winning team, the maximum is 100 million.

"Next topic!"

The broadcast rights auction has not yet started. After Skudmore briefly introduced the situation, he immediately moved to the next topic.

"I received another document from the FA not long ago. The document mentioned that the government hopes to establish a constructive club license system, which will be reviewed and approved by the FA, and fans must also participate in the management. ."

As soon as Skudmoore's words fell, someone on the scene immediately objected loudly.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

It was Manchester United chief executive David Gill who was shouting, and he seemed very outraged.

"Portsmouth has been relegated, and their affairs in the Premier League have nothing to do with the Premier League!"

David Gill's words immediately received enthusiastic approval.

"I agree that the current system in the Premier League is very standardized, and there is no need to introduce another licensing system!"

"I'm afraid it's not that I want to get a license, but I want to reach into the Premier League to make money!"

"We have allocated a sum of money to the FA every year. We pay so much tax every year and create so much consumption. Isn't that enough?"

"It's too much, too ridiculous!"

"If they want to force a license system, we will stop the competition!"

"Yes, strike!"

It can be seen that at this point, everyone's interests are the same.

That is, the Premier League has to unite and fight against the FA and the British government.

David Bernstein was embarrassed. He felt that when he was invited to participate, he was not here to listen, but to be shot.

Speaking of this matter, the Football Association can be regarded as an unfortunate shield.

In the past two years, Portsmouth in the English Champions League has had two big infights due to financial problems, which angered Pompeii fans and led to protests against the government.

Robson, the new sports minister, is also very dissatisfied with the fact that the Premier League has been separated from the jurisdiction of the FA.

He even said in public that football is the worst sport regulated by the British government.

The subtext is that the supervision of football will be strengthened.

The broadcast rights of the Premier League are rising steadily, and almost every contract is soaring, but these have nothing to do with the British government and the Football Association. Not only that, the British government and the Football Association have to invest a sum of money every year for youth training. And other matters.

In this case, the British Sports Department put forward the so-called license system.

But it is clear that this matter cannot be passed by the Premier League.

The current Premier League has too much power, it is really deadlocked, and neither side can get any benefits.

Just look at the performance of these turbulent giants!

Skudmoore is also a smart man. This time he invited David Bernstein to attend the meeting. In fact, it also means to let the FA see the reaction of the Premier League. It is best to let the FA retreat.

David Bernstein looked embarrassed, but unfortunately, he did not have any right to speak.

Of course, he spoke, and no one listened to him.

In the Premier League, the FA is an unfortunate role.

"Then we will move on to the next topic." Skudmore felt that it was almost done, and cut in decisively.

The following issues are not too problematic, such as the plan to reorganize the Premier League reserve team and the formation of a U23 league, but these require the club to increase investment.

So the response is not very applauded.

Those present are all profit-seeking businessmen, there is no good thing, fools can do it!

As for the youth training, anyway, rich and willful, there are good embryos everywhere in Europe, who can't buy it?

Those who have no money can only accept their fate.

Just as the topic was almost over, David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United, suddenly stood up.

The faintness of the Red Devil is the loudest in this roundtable.

Even a bit overshadowed Skudmoore's suspicion.

Of course, the person here has the oldest qualifications and the deepest qualifications, even if others are not satisfied, it is difficult to shake him.

"I think, taking advantage of this, Mr. Yang Huan from Southampton is also here, so let's talk about it about the Southampton jersey advertisement!"

When David Gill said so, everyone immediately turned their attention to Yang Huan.

Yang Huan leaned back on the soft seat, and looked at the crowd in time, smiling faintly, looking stress-free.

I don't know why, when Abramovich saw him like this, his heart became angry, wishing David Jill would kill him.

David Gill is not afraid to offend anyone for the benefit of Manchester United.

"As we all know, the Premier League has regulations that all Premier League teams are not allowed to advertise on their jerseys, but Southampton's jerseys are full of advertisements, which is obviously contrary to the rules of the Premier League."

Having said that, David Gil looked at Yang Huan who was sitting behind a few people.

"I don't know what Mr. Yang Huan thinks about this matter?"

Everyone immediately once again focused their attention on Yang Huan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With so many people present, I don’t know how many people are amused in their hearts, waiting for a good show!

In fact, whether Southampton advertises or not has nothing to do with the vast majority of people present.

If the saints don’t advertise, they don’t necessarily benefit, and if they advertise, they have no loss at all.

To put it bluntly, among the 20 teams on the field, those who really have the ability to advertise on their jerseys to sponsor. I am afraid that they are Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. Southampton can barely get sponsorship. .

As for other teams, even if the restrictions are really loosened, they shouldn't expect to be sponsored.

But sometimes people are like this, you don't want to do things that I can't do.

So, we can’t advertise, and don’t expect to be in Southampton.

Yang Huan saw David Jill calling him by name, he laughed, and stood up. ()
