Football Giants

Scudmore's remarks are indeed very reasonable. Xia*ke*Chinese*text*net*first*post

Just because it makes sense does not mean it can pass.

The reason is very simple. For Manchester United and Arsenal, restricting player salaries and restricting agent commissions is equivalent to restricting the path of high-priced signings for teams including Manchester City, Chelsea and even Southampton.

It cannot be said to be completely cut off, but at least it has a certain restrictive effect.

But for teams such as Manchester City and Southampton, they can't increase their strength through signings, so how can they compete with the powerful? How can there be a chance to play in the European arena?

Therefore, there is a reason, but things in the world are often very complicated.

It's as if the Premier League broadcast rights are sold so hot, all Premier League teams are making a lot of money, should everyone be happy?

No, in fact, if a reporter asks the owners of the twenty teams present, they will definitely find that at least five or more teams are worried or even unhappy.

Don't be surprised, they are not fools or idiots, and they won't feel unhappy about making a lot of money.

The real reason they are unhappy is that they make more money and their relegation will become more tragic than ever.

Because the English Championship and the Premier League are the difference between heaven and hell, no one wants to fall into the Premier League.

At that time, the relegation battle of the Premier League will be a brutal war involving tens of millions of pounds. All teams will do everything they can to kill their opponents and keep their Premier League seats.

Then, teams in danger of relegation will naturally not be happy!

The ones who are really happy are often the high-ranking mid-upstream teams without the threat of relegation!

Even the giants!

So, sometimes, the truth is unreasonable!

In the end, after a fierce debate, the two sides can only reach a consensus, which is to start negotiating the Premier League version of the fiscal fairness policy. The specific details will start after the summit, and the clubs will send people to negotiate and discuss.

To put it bluntly, this policy still cannot prevent clubs from burning money.

As long as you do not violate the fiscal fairness policy, the Premier League will burn as much as you like, no matter how little you like.

For Southampton, this policy makes no difference.

Of course Yang Huan likes to burn money, but the current situation in Southampton does not matter how much.

If there are more or less common topics in fiscal equity policies, then the next topic is a bit less popular.

Especially when Skud Moore invited the FA Chairman David Bernstein to explain this, a youth training reform plan named the Glorious Revolution, at least half of the team owners present stood up against it.

"Five percent?"

The entire conference room was suddenly fried.

"Mr. Bernstein, are you kidding? You want us to spend 5% of the Premier League revenue every year to support your youth training reform plan? Are you sure you didn't forget to take your medicine and go out?"

"Yes, this is simply stealing money!"

"Do you know how much money we spend unprovoked every year?"

"I'll do the math for you. The annual parachute subsidy for the Premier League teams that have been relegated in the past two seasons is more than 60 million pounds, and the subsidy for the middle and lower leagues is from 11.2 million pounds three years ago. , Raised to the current 56.4 million pounds, a five-fold increase!"

"Also, we give Tony Blair and Keegan a football foundation of 12 million pounds a year, and a professional player league of 17.3 million pounds a year, giving opportunities to create a plan of 10.8 million a year. GBP."

"In addition, it includes the professional referee committee, the professional coaching association, the youth training system, and the national league grant."

"Now you still want us to pay 5% every year to support youth training, are you sure?"

The club presidents and bosses who were present, heard that they wanted to support the youth training, all of them seemed very angry, and some even left the field in anger.

Seeing this scene, David Bernstein was also a little hard to resist, he couldn't help but immediately looked at Yang Huan, his eyes revealed a request, as if he was saying, Master Huan, I can’t hold it anymore, what can you say? Sentence!

Yang Huan looked at the poor old man and smiled.

"Let me say a few words!"

When Young Master Huan spoke, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

Many people looked at him silently, wanting to hear what he said.

After all, the entire Premier League knows that Yang Huan is the most thoughtful Premier League boss, and in many cases, his ideas are very advanced.

"I talk about my own thoughts, but one request is, please don't interrupt me before I finish talking, thank you!"

Everyone present nodded and agreed.

"First of all, let's determine a premise, the youth training must be done!"

"I won't say a lot of high-sounding things, just one thing. I have counted. In the past three seasons, the agents of the Premier League have drawn more than 200 million commissions from the transfers of players from 20 teams. Pounds, this money fell into their pockets and never returned to the Premier League."

As soon as Yang Huan said this, I don't know how many people in the room opened their eyes.

More than 200 million pounds?

This is the last three seasons?

On average, a season is 70 million pounds!

This is equivalent to 14% of the local broadcast rights for one season of the Premier League!

"I don't know if you have thought about it, why did it reach such an outrageous level? It means that we work hard every year to run the team, develop the market, and even take great risks. As a result, the benefits we earn, But most of them fell into the pockets of others."

"Why is this?"

In fact, everyone present knows that the reasons may be complicated, but the terrible youth training in England must be a very important factor.

If local players can't do it, then foreign players have to be introduced!

Many people say that England players are inflated. This is true, it is indeed inflated, and it is inflated.

Can the English team bring in players from foreign countries and not get slaughtered?

Anyone who runs a British team knows that most of the time when they bring in players, they are recommended by agents. Some teams don’t even have a decent scouting system, let alone go around. Players.

It is strange that such a team is not slaughtered!

Yang Huan is even thinking that with the Premier League team's revenue of at least 50 or 60 million pounds a season, the company's management is so bad that it is really unimaginable, and it can even be said to be completely irresponsible!

"Players' salaries must be properly controlled, and the agent's commission also needs to be paid attention to. The Premier League must find a sustainable development path and reduce unnecessary losses and waste, which is one of them!"

"We can no longer be the fools who are at the mercy of the broker. We will not be their ATMs!"

"If we cannot effectively improve the level of youth training, then we will continue to be in a disadvantaged position in the transfer market in the future. We have worked hard to talk about the increase in broadcasting fees. In the end, the agent will say a word, raise salary, raise Commission, we have to give out the money obediently!"

"And it's endless, unlimited skyrocketing. If you don't believe it, you will look back and see in the past few years. As soon as the broadcast fee contract has been increased, the player salary and agent commission will also be mentioned immediately, like a shadow, just like a vampire!"

Hearing this, everyone present nodded their heads.

Young Master Huan’s words hit the nail on the head and hit the club’s bosses.

No one is a fool. Almost everyone knows that the Premier League cannot continue to go this way, otherwise there will be no consensus on the fiscal policy just now.

But this is a long-term benefit.

However, some people and some teams may choose to sacrifice long-term benefits because of short-term benefits.

Yang Huan told them that this is related to the common interests of everyone.

If you can't increase the bargaining chip in your hands, you can only let the broker be the fat sheep forever.

Raising the level of youth training is undoubtedly one of the effective means to increase bargaining chips.

"Well, the youth training must be done. After the general direction is determined, the details will be easier to solve!"

"I looked at this youth training reform plan submitted by the FA. The abolition of the 90-minute youth training range restriction and the establishment of a fifth-level professional league are all very good suggestions, requiring the club to improve its youth training software and hardware facilities. I think it’s also very necessary and it’s helpful to every team."

Having said this, Yang Huan couldn't help but smile.

"To be honest, many of the training bases of many of our Premier League teams are now pulling back. Many investors watched it and they were simply discouraged. If you set up the training base, the youth academy will go up, say Maybe you want to sell the team, but you can sell it at a better price!"

Many people in the room listened to it, and they all smiled knowingly.

Football clubs are actually just like luxury goods. If you buy them, you can’t make money or create profits. Even if you don’t lose money, it’s pretty good.

To really make money, you have to wait until the moment you sell the team.

This buy and sell, the investor earns the intermediate price difference, that is to make money!

"There is one more thing we need to pay attention to is the referee."

Yang Huan simply walked out of his position and talked freely under everyone's attention.

"Our Premier League is like a company. The product is our league, and everyone who sells products knows that you have to pay attention to the packaging and you have to build a good image. But in the past few years, there have been endless stadium violence incidents. The referee's poor misjudgment and misjudgment have seriously damaged the image of the Premier League."

Yang Huan held up the document in his hand, "I just looked at it. We give more than 10 million subsidies to the players' union each year, but how much subsidy do we give to referees? 2.9 million pounds!"

"I think this number is too small. It needs to be increased. I think we can talk about the specific increase. But I suggest that we should establish a strong incentive mechanism so that every outstanding referee who enforces strict and fair enforcement can get more Gauguin's decent income will enable our refereeing and law enforcement standards to be as fast as possible with the European continent!"

The referees of the Professional Referees Committee are not only guarding the Premier League, but also guarding all the professional leagues in England. There are many people and the level of enforcement is also uneven.

In the past few years, Premier League teams have come to the European arena, and referees have different standards of enforcement, which is a big disadvantage.

"Many teams think that the European war has nothing to do with them. This is a very short-sighted view."

"Fans paying attention to a team must first pay attention to its stars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Follow a league, first pay attention to the top teams in this league, and how they pay attention to and evaluate these top teams, It's the European stadium!"

"I can even say that the better the giant team's performance in the European competition, the greater the leading role in the Premier League and the greater the increase in influence. In the end, you will find that the next broadcast contract will be better than Now this one is bigger!"

This is another virtuous circle.

"So I personally think that while keeping the Christmas schedule, we should appropriately consider introducing a short winter break in January, or staggering some games to give players more rest time."

"And I also think that while attaching importance to the training and competition of local players, we should also try to increase our attraction to top superstars, because the joining of superstars can greatly drive the expansion of the league's influence and drive the entire market. Operation."

Yang Huan said more and more deeply, and more and more, even afterwards he couldn't help it.

But he was nothing, but many of the people present, including Scudmore and David Bernstein, were a lot of him ()
