Chapter 400 Signing Crisis
The substantial increase in Premier League broadcast revenue is a great boon for the Premier League teams. Each club can get a lot of broadcast revenue from it, thereby increasing investment and making league competition more intense.
This virtuous circle has also made the Premier League the second most expensive league in the world, making buyers from all walks of life flock to the broadcasting rights of the games.
This has resulted in a crazy increase in broadcast copyright revenue, and naturally, the income of various clubs will also increase accordingly. However, this is not so fair for some big clubs, because the current distribution of broadcast revenue in the Premier League is If you adopt the big pot system, no matter what your ranking is or the size of the club, the difference in broadcast income is not too big. How can those rich clubs bear it?
Just before Yang Cheng arrived in London, Chelsea boss Abramovich frequently put pressure on the league in several interviews. He said in an interview: "Everyone in the league knows the impact of big clubs, but Big clubs have no right to make changes."
The resentment in the words is full. If you are an outsider, you may feel that Abramovich’s statement is a bit petty. After all, you are so rich, and the club’s income is firmly in the top ten in the world. How can you maintain your competitiveness with this big guy? Without competitiveness, can the Premier League still have its current status?
The truth is this, but Yang Cheng can only say youcanyouup, nocannobb!
As the owner of the Liverpool club, he and Abramovich are natural allies and belong to a community of interests. Now the broadcasting share of the Premier League is a big pot, which really makes him a little depressed. 1.6 times that of Kecheng.
Due to Liverpool's sluggish performance in the past few years, last season's broadcast share was not as high as that of Manchester United. Of course, Yang Cheng didn't bother to pursue what happened last season. After all, he didn't take over at that time, but this season is different because of his intervention. , Liverpool's live broadcasts are closely following the Manchester City duo. If the Champions League can reach the knockout stage again, if they are lucky enough to break into the semi-finals, it is estimated that the total revenue of this season will exceed 300 million pounds, of which the broadcast share will account for one-third.
If this number can't open up the income distribution ratio with the relegation zone, it means that Yang Chengbai has contributed to the small club, why? When did he, Yang Cheng, ever do a bad business?
Therefore, when the Jason was still flying over the Atlantic Ocean, Yang Cheng reached a consensus on the phone with the bosses of the Premier League giants including Abramovich and Mansour. This time they must stand together to put pressure on the league. Force them to reform the distribution plan.
What? Will it cause the Premier League to reduce ratings? Just kidding, Yang Cheng and the others, who have a combined net worth of tens of billions, will do something like fishing in a dry lake?
Of course it is impossible, the solution is too simple, as long as the league lowers its share of income, everything will be closed, the best of both worlds, it not only ensures that the small clubs have enough income to maintain their competitiveness, but also allows the big clubs to eat that piece It should have been his own big cake long ago. As for the loss of the alliance, it was naturally ignored by Yang Cheng, and it would not affect anything if they made less money.
Yang Cheng, who had a full draft, returned to the hotel and was about to pick up Su Su for dinner, but a phone call from Ian Ayer ruined Yang Cheng's good mood.
"Boss, I have bad news for you." Ian Al's frustrated voice came.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly, "What's wrong? Did you evade taxes?"
Ian Al smiled wryly, "That's okay, I don't have to be so helpless if I can solve the problem with money, did you watch the game last night?"
"I didn't read it, but I know we won, right?" Yang Cheng sat in the car waiting for Susu to go downstairs, opened a gap in the car window, and the cool breeze rushed into the car instantly, dispelling a bit of the heat.
"That's right, 2:0, clean and tidy, but Sturridge was injured. When our Zhengyin center took the ball and broke through, he suffered a bad foul from the opponent's defender. The inspection results came out today.
Reimbursement for the season. "Ian Ayre did not delay any longer, and succinctly described what happened. The key point was that Liverpool's only true center forward bid farewell to this season.
Yang Cheng understands the seriousness of it. Love's current tactic is very important to the fulcrum of the center forward. Originally, Sturridge's ability is not enough to take on this role, but Love has no choice. He has too few opportunities to adjust the lineup, so he can only make do with the ducks on the shelves.
Who would have thought that at this time, there would be no more suitable candidates.
"Mr. Loew asked me to ask you, boss, if this season no longer requires the Champions League and other championships, then there is no need to urgently find a replacement. He can guarantee that Liverpool will get the Champions League seat next season."
After a pause, Ian Ayer said with a heavy tone, "However, if the boss still has any expectations for this season's results, or if we want to go further in the Champions League or win the Premier League, we must hurry up." Find a replacement for Sturridge."
Yang Cheng secretly cursed a word starting with F. The leak in the house happened to rain at night, and when he was unlucky, he would get stuck in his teeth when he drank cold water. With his character, he naturally had to fight for it with all his strength. Who made the club's performance this season amazing, completely Exceeded his expectations, played halfway through the season, if he gave up at this time, not to mention Yang Cheng was not reconciled, the team members' spirits were completely dissipated, and the morale was gone. If you want to get it back, the difficulty is not by spending money can be solved.
Quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and asked as if looking for a reason for himself, "Ian, tell me the truth, do we have any hope of winning the Premier League championship this season?"
Of course he will not dream of winning the Champions League. Now that Barcelona and Real Madrid are in full swing, and monster teams like Bayern and Juventus have convulsions from time to time. When he was not fully prepared, Yang Cheng did not expect Liverpool to make a miracle and win the European Championship. Cup, so his question is very practical, is there still a chance for the Premier League champions.
Ian Ayre knew that his answer might affect the final decision of the big boss, so he replied cautiously, "Boss, to be honest, since Mr. Love took over the team, we have not lost in all competitions. Even if there are only 2 draws, the team's morale is high and the state is hot. If we follow this rhythm, it is not a pipe dream to overtake Chelsea, which is currently at the top of the list. After all, we are only 7 points away from Chelsea. An opportunity for Chelsea to speak directly."
Yang Cheng pressed his patience and asked, "So, we have the possibility to win the championship, right?"
Ian Al was silent for a while, and replied firmly, "Yes, and the chances are not small."
Yang Cheng breathed out, this was the answer he wanted to hear, there was nothing to hesitate, and he said simply, "Then let's buy someone, how many days are there until the winter window deadline?"
Ian Al's voice was slightly excited, "There are still more than 10 days, enough for us to operate."
"So, what do I need to do? Besides signing the check." Yang Cheng was not so nervous when he heard that there was still plenty of time, and made a little joke.
At this moment, the rear door on the left side was opened, Susu sat in the car and closed the door panting, her hair was still wet, Yang Cheng thoughtfully took out a tissue to wipe Susu's temples.
Susu smiled sweetly, not daring to disturb Yang Cheng to answer the phone, took the initiative to take the tissue and wiped it by herself.
On the other end of the phone, Ian Ayre replied with a smile, "I have communicated with Mr. Loew. If you are sure to buy someone, boss, he proposed two candidates for us to operate. One is Tottenham's center Harley Kai. Well, the other is Cavani, the center of Paris Saint-Germain. Both of them have the ability to meet the tactical requirements of Mr. Loew. They are both in their prime and worth about the same, but..."
Ian El hesitated to speak, but Yang Cheng asked doubtfully, "But what?"
"However, Harry Kane is the absolute main force of Tottenham, and he is regarded as the next Gareth Bale. He is definitely a cash cow. Now it is in the middle of the season. Tottenham are fighting for a Champions League seat. The difficulty of operation is not ordinary. ;
Cavani is different. His position in Paris Saint-Germain is far less stable than that of Ibrahimovic, and Paris' lineup is very deep. If he sells him, there will be no substitutes, and the operation is easier.
But Mr. Loew and I share the same opinion. If Harry Kane can be introduced this time, then in the next few years, Liverpool's striker will have a stable battering ram. Cavani can only be bought as an emergency, not as our team. team's long-term plan. "
Yang Cheng laughed, "You've already said that, why don't you tell me clearly that Harry Kane must be bought."
He just complained and joked casually, but Ian Al shuddered in fright, and quickly explained, "I dare not make the boss's decision, I just report the team's thoughts truthfully, and the boss will decide who to buy." You decide."
Yang Cheng didn't dwell on this question, but asked, "Who is the current boss of Tottenham?"
Ian Ayre replied without hesitation, "Ah~ The chairman of the club is Danny Levy, but the real major shareholder is Joe Lewis invested by ENIC, who holds 85% of Tottenham's shares. His current personal net worth is about 4 billion pounds. The third richest man in the UK."
Yang Cheng slapped his head, "Yes, I remembered, before I bought Liverpool, I did research on several potential acquisition targets in the Premier League, but I don't know much about him, can you find a way to find out about him What is the bottom line? For example, what are his hobbies, investment style, and even some black material, etc. "
Ian Ayre thought for a while, and said cryptically, "I tried my best to check the boss. Joe Lewis' influence in the UK is quite large."
Yang Cheng hummed, "Do your best. I'll also ask my friends. We'll conduct investigations in two ways. I think Danny Levy won't stop this transfer from taking shape as long as the public relations team gets rid of Joe Lewis, right?"
