Chapter 808 I Object!
"Everyone, I am very glad that you are able to attend the Premier League seat summit in spite of your busy schedule."
"First of all, let me introduce you!"
Following Richard Scudemore's finger, at the round table meeting, the two middle-aged men with the Burnley sign in front of them stood up and nodded to the left and right.
"These two are representatives of Burnley, John Banaskiewicz, he is the general manager of a famous British shipping company, and the one next to him is the chairman of Burnley, Mike Glick!"
Amidst the welcome applause from everyone, the two sat back in their seats.
Burnley is neither a big team nor a big city. The last time they returned to the Premier League, it should have been five years ago, and they were relegated in one season, and they were not the chairman at the time.
"This is the chairman of the Leicester City team, Mr. Vicha Lakryskothorn from Thailand, next to his son, who is currently the vice-chairman of the Leicester City team."
Vicha is a figure on the Forbes list in Thailand, ranking eleventh, but he is already a little famous in the Premier League.
Don't look at this Thai rich man wearing gentle glasses and looking very kind, just think he is a nice guy.
In fact, he became famous precisely because he did two very rich things.
Once, when he went to watch a match at Leicester City's home court, the private jet parked beside the field. As a result, he lost the game and was depressed. Before the game was over, he boarded the private jet, and while everyone was stunned, case, walk away.
It is conceivable how wealthy this guy must have been at that time?
Another thing is that when Leicester City, as the strongest team in the English Championship, got the promotion qualification for the Premier League, he shouted that he would invest 180 million pounds to help the team compete for the European war qualifications.
This immediately became the laughing stock of many fans and even people in the Premier League industry.
With the strength and foundation of the Leicester City team, 180 million pounds is enough to qualify for the European Championship?
Are you sure you're not joking?
Therefore, when the father and son from Thailand stood up, some people couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, the father and son didn't know why everyone was laughing,
There is nothing more.
However, it has to be said that the Leicester City team is the most promising of the three newly promoted Mali this season.
The last newly promoted is Queens Park Rangers, the owner is a rich man from Malaysia, the owner of Malaysia Airlines, Tony Fernandez.
Of the three Premier League newly promoted teams, two of them have bosses from Asia, which shows the influence of the Premier League in Asia.
As for the Queens Park Rangers, they are not very strong in the British Championship, but they have a famous head coach.
Former Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp!
Through Redknapp's relationship, Queens Park Rangers made a lot of moves once they were promoted to the Premier League. For example, the introduction of Ferdinand from Manchester United, this transfer also surprised many people.
Yang Huanduan sat in his seat and looked at the three newly promoted horses, feeling a little funny in his heart.
"Peter, tell me, after a year, among these three people, who else will be able to sit here?"
Peter Kenyon smiled slightly, "I'm afraid it's enough. The only team that is more promising is Leicester City. The remaining Queens Park Rangers and Burnley are basically one-season tours!"
Yang Huan nodded, he thought so too.
"Oh, by the way, just now you suggested that Tottenham Hotspur should introduce Stones and Begovic?"
"Well, yeah, I casually mentioned it when I was chatting with Daniel Levy, is there a problem?"
Yang Huan shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I was a little strange when Daniel Levi was talking to Hamad just now."
After a pause, Yang Huan smiled again, "Actually, Tottenham Hotspur really want to bring in these two players, it's okay, if Chelsea can't buy Stones, they will be more determined to buy Nokia. when……"
At the end, Master Huan couldn't help but secretly glanced at Abramovich.
It's so hard to die, Chelsea's boss happened to look at him, and the two met each other. The Russian snorted viciously and turned his head away.
"Hey, let me say, I didn't play with his wife, nor cut off his money. Tell me, why does he always look down on me?"
Yang Huan asked inexplicably.
Just because we, Young Master Huan, are so cute, the flowers bloom, and the car sees the pink and tender meat on the car, who doesn't like it?
Why does Abramovich seem to have hatred for his wife?
While Yang Huan was complaining, Richard Scudemore had already introduced the income of the Premier League team last season on stage.
"In the past season, the new broadcast contract officially came into effect. According to this contract, it has been sold at a high price of 6 billion pounds worldwide, which is also a very big improvement from the previous contract."
"According to this contract, according to the previous Premier League broadcast income sharing rules, our league champion, Southampton's income in this aspect is a full 40 million pounds more than last season, and the income has exceeded 100 million pounds! "
When Scudemore said this, the audience was in an uproar.
In the past two seasons, the Premier League champions have been Southampton, but the Saints, who have won both seasons, have a difference of 40 million pounds in broadcast fees, which shows how powerful the new broadcast contract is.
"Not only has the income of the championship team increased, but the income of the bottom team has also increased by 25 million pounds. That is to say, in the past season, Cardiff, which ranked bottom in the Premier League, kept up with the broadcast fee revenue share. Southampton, who won the championship last season, is almost the same!"
When everyone heard this, they all sighed.
For a Premier League champion, the share of broadcasting revenue has reached 100 million pounds, which is absolutely the best in European football.
Moreover, for the current Premier League teams, there is no need to deliberately pursue the Champions League at all, because the income of the Premier League itself is quite amazing. If it is for a Champions League result, it will lead to a decline in the Premier League ranking and a heavy loss!
"The new season will be the second year of the new contract, and we will officially start the negotiation process for the next contract in half a year. Before that, we all hope that more Premier League teams can go out of the British Isles. , out of Europe."
Everyone is the beneficiary of the new contract, and they all understand what Scudemore means.
If it weren't for the Premier League's active development of overseas markets in the past, would the Premier League have the current income?
"We have reached a consensus with Miracle Media. They hope that we can arrange some important events, such as the FA Cup final, the League Cup final, or the Community Shield Cup, to be held overseas, which can greatly enhance our overseas reputation. Influence."
"Not only that, they are still actively preparing, hoping to organize more overseas friendly matches of Premier League teams, hoping to get the active cooperation of the Premier League and the Premier League teams. I don't know what you think?"
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 fought on their own, wasting a lot of resources in vain.
Just like Everton, the warm-up match is arranged in the UK, playing against some low-level league teams, not to mention the low warm-up value, and the income is very little, or even almost nothing.
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, no matter what, it will be better than playing warm-up matches in the UK and Europe, right?
After the success of the International Champions Cup, Miracle Media already has sufficient resources and rich experience in this regard. It is no problem at all to undertake the overseas warm-up matches and important finals of the Premier League.
Therefore, as soon as Scudemore finished speaking, there was a noisy discussion at the scene.
But suddenly, someone stood up and shouted: "I object!"
Such a good thing, anyone else object?
Everyone looked intently, couldn't it be Abramovich?
"The current warm-up matches are all arranged by the clubs themselves, and they are given autonomy. Everyone can choose their opponents for the warm-up match according to their own situation."
"However, if we cooperate with Miracle Media, the income may not increase, but we have to accept the arrangement of outsiders. They may not consider our team, so I think that if we want to play overseas warm-up matches, we can do it ourselves. To organize and organize, there is no need to cooperate with Miracle Media.”
Abramovich's analysis made some sense.
Many people present were also nodding their heads.
But soon, Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur also stood up, shook his head and said: "Roman's words are a bit taken for granted."
"I take it for granted?" Abramovich was upset.
"Yes, you are right about one thing. We have also organized Premier League overseas warm-up matches and pre-season games in the past, but the effect can only be said to be relatively average, but maybe you don't know that our games at that time were also similar to A company like Miracle Media, which is far less powerful, cooperates, otherwise, how could it be possible with us and the Premier League alone?"
Many people present who knew the inside story immediately nodded in unison.
"I have known 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 operational capabilities."
"As for transplanting the cup final overseas, Serie A has such a precedent, and the response is also very enthusiastic. I think we can give it a try. Even in the foreseeable future, we can even consider transferring some important The strong dialogue sessions are scheduled to be held overseas."
"Of course, we need a more professional company to be responsible for how to operate, but what I want to say is that the importance of overseas markets is beyond words. How to further develop overseas markets will be the key to our continued development in the future. !"
When it comes to professionalism in the field of management, if you give Abramovich ten horses, he will not be able to catch up with Daniel Levy.
Therefore, just after the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur finished speaking, he immediately got the support of teams such as Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City, and even many mid- and lower-level teams also spoke out.
Even though their income has increased now, it is a lot for them to earn one or two million pounds for an overseas warm-up match.
More importantly, actively develop overseas markets. If you can sign a few more sponsorship contracts, you will make a lot of money.
In the end, in this conference room, except for Abramovich, everyone else agreed that they should cooperate with Miracle Media.
This immediately put Chelsea and Abramovich in a lonely situation.
"Okay, I know everyone's opinions!"
Scudemore stopped the discussion with enough time.
As the chief executive of the Premier League, he has to control the atmosphere and prevent everyone from breaking up.
"How to cooperate, we will continue to discuss with Miracle Media on behalf of the Premier League, and strive to launch this plan next summer, and even if the FA agrees, we can try it in the League Cup and FA Cup finals this season. "
"Of course, we have always paid attention to the principle of voluntariness. If a team does not want to join this plan, it is absolutely fine!"
After saying this, Scudemore immediately turned to the next topic.
And Abramovich also sat down aggrieved.
He found that at this round table, his words became less and less important.
Damn it!
