Chapter 808： I object!

"Everyone, I am very happy that you can participate in the Premier League Summit in your busy schedule."

"First of all, let me introduce you to everyone!"

With Richard Scudmore's hand pointing, the two middle-aged men with the Burnley sign in front of the round table stood up and nodded to the left and right.

"These two are representatives of Burnley, John Banasovich, he is the general manager of a famous British shipping company, and next to him is the chairman of Burnley, Mike Glick!"

Amid the polite welcome and applause, the two sat back to their seats.

Burnley is neither a big team nor in a big city. The last time he returned to the Premier League should have been five years ago. It was also relegated in one season, and the chairman was not them either.

"This is the chairman of the Leicester City team, Mr. Vicha Racris Kosorn from Thailand, next to his son, who is currently the vice chairman of the Leicester City team."

Weicha is a figure on the Forbes rankings in Thailand, ranked 11th, but he is already a little famous in the Premier League.

Don't look at this rich Thai man wearing gentle glasses and looking very kind, you think he is a good old man.

In fact, he will be famous precisely because he has done two very rich things.

Once, when he went to the Leicester City team’s home court to watch a football, the private jet was parked on the edge of the court. As a result, the game was lost and he was depressed. Before the game was over, he boarded the private jet and everyone was stunned Circumstances, go away.

As you can imagine, at that time, how rich was this guy?

Another thing is that Leicester City, as the strongest team in the English Champions League, when they qualified for the Premier League promotion, he shouted to invest 180 million pounds to help the team compete in the European war. qualifications.

This immediately became the laughing stock of many fans and even insiders in the Premier League.

With the strength and foundation of the Leicester City team, 180 million pounds want to qualify for the European war?

Are you really kidding?

Therefore, when the father and son from Thailand stood up, someone at the scene couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, the father and son didn't know why everyone laughed, so it was nothing.

However, I have to say that the Leicester City team are the three newly promoted Mali this season, the most promising relegation.

The last newly promoted horse is the Queen's Park Ranger. The owner is a rich man from Malaysia and the owner of Malaysia Airlines, Tony Fernandez.

Of the three newly promoted Premier League teams, two of them have bosses from Asia. The influence of the Premier League in Asia is evident.

As for the Queens Park Rangers, their strength is not very strong in the British Championship, but there is a well-known head coach.

Former Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp!

Through Redknapp's relationship, once the Queen's Park Rangers entered the Premier League, their actions were not small, such as the introduction of Ferdinand from Manchester United. This transfer also surprised many people.

Yang Huan looked at the three newly promoted horses while sitting in his seat, feeling a little funny in his heart.

"Peter, you said, one year later, who else can sit here with these three people?"

Peter Kenyon smiled slightly, "I'm afraid it's choking. The only promising team is the Leicester City team. The remaining Queens Park Rangers and Burnley are basically a one-season tour!"

Yang Huan nodded, he felt so too.

"Oh, by the way, did you just propose that Tottenham Hotspur bring in Stones and Begovic?"

"Well, yeah, when I was chatting with Daniel Levy, I mentioned it casually. Is there any problem?"

Yang Huan shook his head, "It's nothing, but when Daniel Levy was talking to Hamad just now, I was a bit weird."

After a pause, Yang Huan smiled again, "Actually, Tottenham Hotspur really wants to bring in these two players. Fortunately, if Chelsea can't buy Stones, the determination to buy Nokia will be greater. time……"

At the end, Young Master Huan couldn't help but glanced at Abramovich secretly.

It's not dead, the Chelsea boss happened to look at him, and the two had a face-to-face, and the Russian snorted viciously and turned his head.

"Hey, I said, I didn't play with his wife, nor did he cut off his money. You said, why does he always look at me?"

Yang Huan asked inexplicably.

Just because Master Huan is loved by others, the flowers are blooming, the car is the tender meat, who doesn't like it?

Why does Abramovich seem to hate his wife?

While Yang Huan was complaining, Richard Scudmore had already introduced on stage the earnings of the Premier League teams last season.

"In the past season, the new broadcasting contract has come into effect. According to this contract, a total of six billion pounds of high prices have been sold around the world, which is a very big improvement over the previous contract."

"According to this contract, according to the previous Premier League broadcast revenue sharing rules, our league champion, Southampton's income in this area is a full 40 million pounds more than last season, and the income exceeds 100 million pounds! "

When Scudmore said this, the audience was in an uproar.

In the past two seasons, the Premier League champions have been Southampton, but the Saints, who won the championship in both seasons, have a difference of 40 million pounds in broadcast fees. This shows how powerful the new broadcast contract is.

"It's not just that the income of the championship team has increased, but the income of the bottom team has also increased by 25 million pounds. Southampton won the championship in the same season!"

When everyone listened, there was a moment of sorrow.

A Premier League champion with a broadcast income of 100 million pounds, this is definitely the best in European football.

Moreover, for the current Premier League teams, there is no need to deliberately pursue the Champions League, because the Premier League itself has an amazing income. If it is for a Champions League result, it will lead to a decline in the Premier League ranking and heavy losses!

"The new season will be the second year of the new contract. We will also officially start the negotiation process for the next contract after half a year. Before that, we also hope that the Premier League teams can get out of the British Isles more. , Out of Europe."

Everyone was the beneficiary of the new contract, and they all understood what Skudmore meant.

Had the Premier League not been actively developing overseas markets in the past, could the Premier League have its current income?

"We have reached a consensus with Miracle Media. They hope that we can arrange some important events, such as the FA Cup finals, League Cup finals, or the Community Shield Cup, to be held overseas, which can greatly enhance our overseas. Influence."

"Not only that, they are still actively preparing, hoping to organize more Premier League teams overseas friendly matches, hoping to get the active cooperation of the Premier League and the Premier League teams. I don't know what everyone thinks?"

This is also an important topic of this Chairman's Summit.

The current summer preparations are very complicated, and the warm-up matches are basically separate battles, which wastes a lot of resources.

Just like Everton, the warm-up match is arranged in the United Kingdom, playing with some low-level league teams, not to mention the low warm-up value, and the income is very small, or almost no.

But if Everton goes to Asia or North America to play a warm-up match, the appearance fee can be at least one million, plus the commercial value, how can it be better than playing warm-up matches in the UK and Europe?

After the great success of the International Champions Cup, Miracle Media already has sufficient resources and rich experience in this regard. It has no problem to undertake the overseas warm-up matches and important finals of the Premier League.

Therefore, as soon as Skudmore finished speaking, there was noisy discussion at the scene.

But suddenly, someone stood up and shouted: "I object!"

Is there any opposition to such a good thing?

Everyone looked intently, isn't it Abramovich?

"The current warm-up matches are all arranged by the clubs themselves and given autonomy. Everyone can choose their opponents to prepare for the warm-up matches according to their own circumstances."

"However, if we cooperate with Miracle Media, our income may not increase, but we have to accept arrangements from outsiders. They may not consider our team. So I think if we want to play overseas warm-up matches, we can go by ourselves. There is no need to cooperate with Miracle Media in preparation and organization."

Abramovich analyzed it, and there was still some truth.

Many people were nodding their heads.

But soon, Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur also stood up, shook his head and said: "Romain took it for granted."

"I take it for granted?" Abramovich was upset.

"Yes, one thing you are right is right. We have also organized overseas Premier League warm-up matches and pre-season matches in the past, but the effect can only be said to be relatively ordinary, but maybe you don’t know. At that time, these matches were similar to Miracle Media is such a company that is far less powerful, otherwise, how can it be possible to rely on us and the Premier League alone?"

Many people who knew the inside story suddenly nodded in unison.

"I have learned about Miracle Media. They have experience in organizing events in North America, Asia and the Middle East. I believe everyone knows the success of the International Champions Cup. Therefore, I believe in their ability to operate."

"As for transplanting the cup finals overseas, Serie A has had such a precedent, and the response has been very enthusiastic. I think we can give it a try. Even in the foreseeable future, we can even consider adding some important The strong-strong dialogue sessions are scheduled to be held overseas."

"Of course, we need a more professional company to take charge of the specific operation, but what I want to say is that the importance of overseas markets is no longer necessary. How to further develop overseas markets will be the key to our future development. !"

When it comes to professionalism in the field of business, if you give Abramovich ten more horses, he can't catch up with Daniel Levi.

Therefore, the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur just finished speaking, and immediately received the support of Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City, and even many mid-lower teams have spoken out.

Regardless of the increase in their income now, an overseas warm-up match earned one or two million pounds, which is a lot for them.

More importantly, actively develop overseas markets. If you can sign a few more sponsorship contracts, you will make a lot of money.

Finally, in this conference room, except for Abramovich, everyone else thought that we should cooperate with Miracle Media.

This immediately put Chelsea and Abramovich into a dilemma of loneliness. U U Reading

"Well, I know everyone's opinions!"

Scudmore yelled to stop the discussion just enough.

As the chief executive of the Premier League, he has to control the atmosphere to prevent everyone from falling apart.

"Specifically, we will continue to talk to Miracle Media on behalf of the Premier League and strive to start this plan next summer. Even if the FA agrees, this season's League Cup and FA Cup finals can be tried. "

"Of course, we always pay attention to the principle of voluntariness. If a team does not want to join this program, it can be!"

Having said this, Skudmore immediately moved to the next topic.

And Abramovich also sat down angrily.

He found that at this round table, his words became less and less important.

Damn it!
