Chapter 419 Anti-Saint Vanguard
It is still in the Landmark Hotel, in the largest conference room on the eighth floor, in the same location.
Just one month apart, two Premier League Chairman Summits were held, which has never happened in the Premier League in the past 20 years.
The last time there was such an intensive meeting of chairmen, it was before the establishment of the Premier League, and there were a lot of things that needed to be urgently negotiated.
But this time, it was because of a newly promoted horse!
Southampton!
In the past month, it has appeared in the newspapers every day, causing fans to worry every day, and a nightmare that makes all the chairman and bosses of the entire Premier League unable to sleep.
Everyone present hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible!
It's just that some things start easy and end hard.
Abramovich sat in Chelsea's seat, Marina Granovskia behind him, and they, like many others, were getting impatient.
Especially Abramovich, he was not on the right track with Yang Huan, and now he has to wait for him here, and his heart is seriously unbalanced.
"It's too outrageous, let so many of us wait for him here?" Abramović said angrily.
"Yeah, why hasn't it arrived yet?"
"Wait a minute, things can't be dragged on like this forever, they have to be resolved!"
"But is he coming?"
Someone in the conference room echoed Abramovich's dissatisfaction in a low voice.
They are all powerful people, but now they have to wait for someone here?
If this is spread out, wouldn't it make countless people laugh out loud?
But in the midst of this discussion, someone sneered at Abramovich with a sullen sneer.
"If you don't want to wait, you can go!"
Everyone looked at the reputation, and it was Ashley, the chairman of Newcastle.
This guy doesn't know what's going on, he always dislikes Abramovich and does everything against Abramovich.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, a month ago, you said that Chelsea would also withdraw from the Premier League. What's the matter, and now you regret it?" Ashley laughed sarcastically.
The fire in Abramović's heart, this damned Englishman is taking the wrong medicine no matter what.
Why are you holding on to me for no reason?
I didn't tease your wife or rob your lover. Why do you like me so much?
But Ashley and Newcastle are still somewhat influential among the local forces.
Therefore, Abramovich snorted coldly, but did not refute, but was very upset.
You fat bastard, next time we play Newcastle, it's only your fault that I don't play badly!
Everyone was amused when they watched two people who were not pleasing to each other fighting each other.
Some people also understand in their hearts that Abramovich is simply not pleasing to the eyes of Southampton, and he hopes that the Saints really retire.
But the problem now is that the sponsors don't do it!
Big sponsors such as Sky, BT, Barclays and others have all exerted pressure.
If Southampton really retire, then this matter still has to play!
Maybe the Premier League, like Serie A and La Liga, will have a shutdown scandal at that time.
Thinking of this, not many people's hearts are actually retreating.
David Gill always sat upright, but he had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone present, and his heart was not without sigh.
Yang Huan's methods are indeed brilliant!
One move to withdraw from the competition caught everyone off guard.
For most teams in the Premier League, the threat of Southampton is still unknown, and it is difficult to say whether it will even threaten itself. After all, the league has not started yet!
But if it affects the sponsors and reduces their income from various sponsorship shares, it is to cut flesh on their bodies. How can they accept this?
Even to a certain extent, whether Southampton advertises on the jersey has nothing to do with them, it is tasteless.
For a dispensable tasteless rib, but at the expense of his own interests, a fool would do this!
Thinking of this, David Gill sighed inwardly, but never made a sound.
He had an agreement with Southampton before, and Manchester United will not be involved in this matter!
Abramovich was very depressed, because he found that among the top teams in the Premier League, Chelsea was the first.
He has received some news that Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City will all participate in the International Champions Cup, so they do not want to offend Yang Huan and Southampton, they are recruited.
Among the remaining teams, Tottenham Hotspur has always supported Southampton, while Aston Villa, Fulham and other teams are all foreign owners, unwilling to interfere too much, and even more unwilling to interfere. For a dispensable clause, I lost my own interests.
So, in this case, Chelsea is a little bit alone!
It's a bunch of scumbags who take advantage of the wind and forget their righteousness!
Abramović's heart was filled with mournful wailing.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, which attracted the attention of everyone present.
When the door opened, Yang Huan walked into the conference room with a smile on his face, apologizing as he walked.
"Sorry, the plane is late, I'm late!"
Everyone present was slandering in their hearts, is it really late?
But for this reason, no one can say, you can't go to the flight schedule to refute Yang Huan, right?
If you really want to be so serious, then this meeting can't be opened!
Peter Kenyon followed behind Yang Huan and walked in.
The two walked one after the other, walked halfway around the conference room, and returned to the familiar position by the window.
Richard Scudmore waited until Yang Huan was seated, then coughed and stood up.
"Everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to attend this special meeting."
Everyone present didn't give Scudmore any reaction, their expressions seemed to be saying, hurry up and get to the point, buddy!
Scudemore knew exactly what was going on.
"This time, everyone is invited to negotiate one thing, and that is the issue of Southampton's jersey advertising."
Everyone immediately looked at Yang Huan again.
However, the eldest young master still looks like the old god is there, as if it has nothing to do with him.
"Southampton's sponsorship and advertising on jerseys are indeed against the rules of the Premier League, but I think the Premier League should also properly consider the special situation of this team and give special treatment, I don't know what everyone thinks. ?"
As soon as Scudmore's voice fell, there was a lot of discussion on the scene.
The attitude of the chief executive of the Premier League is actually very clear, that is, let's not care about it!
On this point, he communicated with Peter Kenyon before, and also said that many teams have changed their tone, so Yang Huan will agree to come back to participate in this meeting.
But obviously some people don't see it that way!
"I don't think this exception can be made!"
Everyone looked at the sound, and it was Abramovich.
This Russian is a typical anti-Saint vanguard.
Anyway, no matter what, I am against it!
"If the Premier League makes this special case for Southampton today, what about in the future? Will Manchester United also use the strike as an excuse to change the rules of the Premier League, and we will be forced to agree?"
Who knows, as soon as Abramovich's voice fell, David Gill quit.
"Mr. Abramovich, I have to remind you that we Manchester United are responsible giants, and we have been playing an active and important role since the establishment of the Premier League until now, and it is impossible for you to say that An extreme situation!"
Abramovich is depressed, am I just giving an example?
David Gill glared, wanting to give an example, you should take other people as an example, don't talk about us Manchester United!
"I think that at the beginning of the establishment of the Premier League, the decision to set up a roundtable was to hope that when we encounter problems and problems, we can sit down and negotiate and solve them, and not for personal grievances and disregard the overall situation of the Premier League!"
Everyone understands that at the end of David Gill's words, he was insinuating Abramovich.
The situation is now clear.
Southampton withdrew and sponsors didn't do it.
Are you willing to lose millions of dollars a year, or even over 10 million in broadcast fees, in order to maintain a dispensable ban?
This answer is clearly in front of everyone, it's up to you to choose!
"Let me tell you!" Tottenham's chief executive, Daniel Levy, stood up.
Everyone nodded in unison.
The helm of the north London team is the best in the Premier League in recent years.
Second only to Southampton's Peter? Kenyon, and even more than Manchester United's David? Gill.
This led to Daniel? Levy in the roundtable, or have a certain say.
"The situation in Southampton is indeed quite special. Such a large liquidated damage is really no joke. If the contract is really cancelled, Southampton can only declare bankruptcy. This is something we do not want to see!"
Everyone present, regardless of whether they understood it or not, felt that, at least on the surface, this was the truth.
"However, some of the concerns are not unfounded, so I think it's better for the Premier League to acquiesce."
In fact, to put it bluntly, just like the FA, just turn one eye away.
But in Abramovich's view, this is condoning Southampton.
The Russians were about to speak out, but Daniel Levy continued.
"However, we must restrict Southampton, such as not allowing new jersey advertising contracts to be signed, nor arbitrarily expanding the size of jersey advertisements, or changing the position of jersey advertisements, etc., until the end of the existing contract!"
Everyone thinks this makes sense.
How many years can you sign a contract?
three years? Five years?
OK, I will let you execute the contract. After the contract is executed, you have to abide by the rules of the Premier League!
"At the same time, the 20 teams we are present must re-sign an agreement. From now on, no team, including newly-promoted players from lower leagues, will be allowed to advertise on their jerseys in any form and for any reason. Otherwise, he will be punished severely!"
When everyone heard it, they all felt that Daniel Levy's proposal was quite reliable.
It's a kind of compromise.
It's just that David Gil, Abramovich and the others listened, and their faces were somewhat grim.
Daniel Levy's proposal not only restricts Southampton, but also restricts their giants, cutting off the idea of advertising on their shirts.
In other words, from now on, only Southampton will be able to advertise on the jersey, and other teams will not even think about it!
"Daniel's proposal is a good one, and I think it's worth considering!"
"I think it's pretty good too, Richard, what do you think?"
Richard Scudemore nodded, "I personally agree with it!"
The Premier League's chief executive swept the crowd again to get a clear picture of the situation.
"That's the old rule, raise your hand to vote!"
The 20 teams present, plus the Premier League CEO, have a total of 21 votes, and more than half of them will pass!
As a result, there was a lot of discussion in the entire conference room.
Abramović felt indignant in his heart, wishing that everyone would object, thinking in his heart that he would not raise his hand if he killed me.
But if you look around, ya, hulla la are raising their hands.
Don't say half of it, I'm afraid it's nearly twenty votes!
Especially Newcastle's Ashley, originally this fat man didn't like Southampton and Yang Huan.
