Chapter 402： The contradiction between the rich and the poor

(Thanks to the "f1y" brothers for their great rewards. I only saw the rewards yesterday. I'm sorry, I have to hurry up and make up for my mistakes with more than 9ooo words, and you guys. Tickets, thank you very much! ~\\(≧▽≦)/~)

"Then should we re-discuss the distribution plan of broadcasting income?"

There is never a shortage of people who are disappointed in this world. When everyone is happy about making a big profit, a bald-headed untimely vocal, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm that has just ignited.

Yang Cheng heard the reputation, but it was a coincidence that it was Tottenham’s executive chairman Danny Levy. They all said that Tottenham’s boss Joe Lewis does not like football, and all matters of the club are handled by his good friend Danny Levy. Now it does not seem to be a rumor. Joe Lewis did not attend such an important meeting in person, which shows the status of football in his heart.

However, although Danny Levi's words were not at the right time, no one spoke out for crusade, because this was also their most concerned issue.

The bosses of rich clubs don’t want to associate with small clubs and want to split more money, and small clubs must brazenly fight for their own'life', otherwise England will have no place for them in the future, let alone cut half of the ratio, less A penny can be distressed for several days, how can a wealthy family easily achieve their wishes.

"I think the current distribution plan is very good and fair. There is no need to change." Sitting on Yang Cheng's side, close to the corner of the wall, the voice was Birkenwright, as a comedy producer, his 3ooo With a net worth of more than ten thousand pounds, he is almost one of the poorest among the rich.

Not very confident, but it represents the aspirations of most small clubs in the UK. Today’s distribution plan can ensure that there is some surplus in addition to maintaining the club’s operations every year. If the distribution plan changes, this good life will be Gone forever.

The distribution of British broadcast income has always been to ensure that it is as fair as possible while taking into account the popularity of each team and the results of the game.

Each team’s TV broadcasting bonus is divided into three parts. First, the overseas TV broadcasting income plus half of the domestic TV income is divided equally among 20 teams. The average TV broadcasting income of each team in the UK this season is 70oo. More than ten thousand pounds

Second, take out 25% of the domestic TV broadcast fee income this season and allocate it according to how many times each team broadcasts. The more broadcasts, the more you get;

Third, take out 25% of the income from domestic TV broadcasting fees and place bonuses according to the team's ranking. The higher the ranking, the higher the bonus.

Of course, in order to protect the interests of small and medium-sized clubs, the United Kingdom has given a minimum guarantee for the broadcast of the game, that is, clubs that broadcast less than 1o times can also be allocated according to the 1o times.

At least for a long period of time in the past, this broadcast income distribution mechanism is the most indispensable part of Yingneng's becoming the most commercialized professional football league in the world.

But now, with the new round of British broadcast rights hitting a new high, overseas broadcast income has skyrocketed, and the British income distribution mechanism is facing new tests. It is an inevitable result. Overseas broadcast income can sell at high prices. It is said that it depends on the reputation of the rich. The reason is not exaggerated. After all, there are very few overseas fans who really care about the entire British landscape. Most of them are fans of a certain giant who occasionally watch one or two key games.

In the eyes of the giants, this is the performance that the small ball is sucking his own blood. It can be said that it has been complaining for a long time. It finally exploded before the new contract was signed. In this situation, Richard Scudmore, who has been in charge of the British League for 20 years Er said it had been expected.

In recent years, the income of broadcast rights in the UK and abroad has been rising continuously, and it can even be described as skyrocketing. In particular, the growth rate of overseas broadcast income is even more amazing, which is the envy of other sports leagues.

In particular, the two largest markets in the world, China and the United States, have more than doubled their revenues. In the U.S. market alone, Britain’s broadcast revenue in one season is as high as $16.7 billion. Currently, the U.S. British broadcast rights are being negotiated with nbc TV. , The total amount in 6 years is expected to exceed 100 million US dollars, and past facts have proved that this investment is definitely not a loss.

The thing of being born in the United States is also being staged in country Z. Xinying Sports has the exclusive rights to broadcast the English League from the start of the 2o1o/11 season to the 2o18/19 season in the z mainland and Macau.

In 2o1o, Xinying Sports won the exclusive broadcast rights of the British in China for three seasons with more than 30 million US dollars. In 2012, Xinying Sports won the British 2o13-2o19 broadcast rights for a total of 100 million yuan (about ($2.45 million/season), compared with the previous season, the price of the broadcast rights for each season is 25 times the previous.

It is precisely because of this that, from the perspective of the proportion of British global broadcast revenue, it is no longer impossible for overseas revenue to catch up with domestic revenue. In the face of such a big cake, how could the giants ignore it and let the small ball go? Will you sit on an equal footing with yourself?

The overseas broadcast income distribution mechanism, coupled with the “5o%:25%:25%” distribution model of domestic broadcast income in the UK, ensures that even if the British broadcast income has skyrocketed in the past 25 years, the broadcast income between British clubs will not The club gap is too large. The ratio of the broadcast revenue received by the top clubs to the broadcast revenue received by the bottom clubs has remained at around 16, while the number in La Liga and Bundesliga has risen to around 3.

Industry insiders believe that this mode of distribution of broadcast income is the reason why the UK can maintain a competitive balance to some extent. This is also one of the key factors for the great success of the British League at home and abroad. As we all know, uncertainty is Britain's greatest charm, and the performance of various miracles has made Britain countless fans at home and abroad.

But the controversy also arises. In this joint meeting, Abramovich has connected the British six bears in advance-Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham. It is difficult for the league to be difficult for the simple reason, whether it is from the number of fans or the influence. In terms of strength, they have contributed the most and should have a bigger share of overseas broadcast income.

And this kind of robbery face evoked the dissatisfaction of most small club owners, including the dissatisfaction of Alice Sauter, who is also from the United States but of Irish origin. He is the owner of Sunderland. The handrails of sand, roared angrily,

"Oh my God, it's really shameful. This season's overseas income is expected to be close to 50,000 US dollars. This figure is a drop in the bucket for you, but for small clubs including Sunderland, it is tantamount to saving lives. Straw, don't you group of robbers even grab life-saving money?"

Danny Levy, as a vanguard, countered in a very ironic tone, "You still have the face to carry a season's broadcast income? Did you know that this money is even more expensive than the La Liga and Serie A giants that broke into the Champions League knockouts. Even more, what have you contributed to such a generous income? Do you naively think that Sunderland has fans in the far east?"

The strong sarcasm evoked the smiles of Abu, including Yang Cheng, and others. This sounded very cruel, but it made sense to read it carefully.

Danny Levi hasn’t finished saying, “We are the main driving force driving the British overseas ratings. Almost no one will pay attention to your football clubs like Sunderland, which is hovering at the bottom, and the money made by our reputation. , I actually wanted to accept it with peace of mind. Today is April Fool's Day? Are you kidding me?"

No one cares what Alice Sauter’s expression looks like at this time. Abu continued Danny Levi’s words, “Dear Mr. Skodamore, the club owners including me respect your hard work over the past 20 years. Harmonious competitive atmosphere, but what era is it now?

I think it’s time to make adjustments to some of the unchanging rules. In order to save your time for research and analysis, let me suggest a reform proposal. It is better to allocate 55% of the British overseas broadcast revenue and distribute it according to the league ranking. I think this is absolutely It is a fair and notarized distribution plan, what do you say? "

Not surprisingly, this proposal was strongly criticized by the owners of small and medium clubs as soon as it was thrown out. West Ham United owner David Sullivan blushed and said bluntly, “You are now rich and rich, and I will raise this question again. It can only be described by greed, greedy people deserve to go to hell!"

Angrily killed a glass of red wine, Sullivan pointed to Abu and said, "The reason why England is wonderful is that England has no underdogs. Every team has the money to sign some big-name stars. According to your distribution plan, let us finish the game for you. what is the benefit?"

Sullivan’s words are not bad. For football matches, the degree of excitement depends on the competitive level of both sides of the game If one side is in an absolute advantage, in fact, this kind of unsuspecting game will not satisfy the audience. Buy it.

The current overseas broadcast income distribution mechanism in the UK can to a certain extent ensure that the bottom team has enough funds to buy powerful players, ensuring that their competitive standards will not decline and also ensuring the overall competitive standards of the UK.

But having said that, Abramovich’s position and reform proposals cannot be said to be unreasonable demands. After all, for ordinary fans, everyone prefers strong teams, and strong teams have more fans and influence than Sunderland and Western Han. A team like Mu United is much higher.

The scene was in chaos. A group of big bosses with a net worth of tens of billions almost rolled up their sleeves and started fighting. Richard Skudmore stepped up several times to stop everyone from arguing, but it didn’t work. Yes, this group of social elites. To be more serious, how can Richard Scudmore, a "poor man", can stop it.

Anyway, everyone says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, but whoever can do nothing. According to the rules, the English 2o club must have 14 clubs to agree to modify it, so the rich clubs have no advantage at all. This is not a fight. Things that can be solved by the boss.

Of course, the six giants are not without trump cards. This trump card is to leave the UK and form a league alone or jointly organize a league with other giant football clubs in Europe.

However, from the current point of view, it is still too early to play this trump card. Moreover, this trump card is not profitable and harmless.

However, Yang Cheng was not very interested in such controversies. He was ready to follow the trend. Whether the distribution plan was changed or not, he was more concerned about the British broadcasting rights in the United States, because he suddenly realized This may be where he got the cbc contract extension?
