It was already past midnight when we returned to Southampton from Bucharest.
Everyone in Southampton did not go to Staplewood as soon as they arrived at Southampton Airport, but rushed directly to Wangjiang Pavilion.
Huang Tianshun and others had also received the news early and had already prepared a sumptuous celebration banquet to welcome the team.
Soon, the entire Wangjiang Pavilion suddenly became a mess.
There were a thousand Saints fan club members from all over Southampton, plus the guests invited by the team, the whole scene was noisy and lively.
Zhuang Ziqing didn't like such an occasion, so Yang Huan directly asked Long Wu to send her to the villa in Southampton.
He stayed in Wangjiang Pavilion to celebrate with the guests and players.
He drank so much that he forgot how much he drank.
It wasn't until Scudmore came to invite him to talk outside that Yang Huan got away.
The two of them didn't go out, but walked directly along the Test River in the open-air restaurant area of Wangjiang Pavilion.
"The city of Southampton has developed rapidly in recent years.
I heard that the renovation of the old city is about to start, and it will soon change drastically."
Scudmore said somewhat sadly.
Yang Huan smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
The Premier League is actually like a management company, responsible for the operation of the Premier League.
Scudmore is the CEO of this management company.
To put it simply, he is the steward of the Premier League.
His power is given by the twenty teams in the Premier League.
However, Scudmore has been in charge of the Premier League for many years, and during his time in charge, it was precisely the most successful period of commercial development in the Premier League, so Scudmore has a decisive influence in the Premier League.
But if he has to make any important decisions, I'm sorry, he doesn't have the power.
Then you have to call all the Premier League club owners or executives for a meeting.
This is the Premier League Chairman’s Summit held every three months Let’s take the simplest example, winter break.
The wealthy teams are eager to have a winter break and have been calling for it for many years.
Even Scudmore agrees, but they just can't implement it.
The reason is that the majority of the mid-to-lower teams do not care about your plan.
Your top teams have to fight on multiple fronts and you have to consider European competitions, but we don’t need to.
Our middle and lower-tier teams only care about the domestic cup competitions, and even the cup competitions are not our part.
We only have the league to play, and there is not much pressure.
The pressure is only for your top teams.
Who allows you to fight on multiple fronts?
Can't stand it If you can't stand it, don't open so many fronts.
Who is forcing you?
I wish you had a bad record Therefore, when voting, the majority of votes were against the winter break.
Sometimes, things are just so troublesome and so interesting When Scudmore saw that Yang Huan was silent, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although this young master Huan is young, he is very careful in his calculations.
"Southampton has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years.
It has a gathering of stars and strong strength.
Now, it is the Europa League champion.
It is a step up every year and will participate in the Premier League next season."
Yang Huan still didn't say anything.
He was waiting for Scudmore to get to the point.
The Premier League CEO smiled bitterly inwardly and sighed, the bad guy still had to do it himself.
"Mr.
Yang Huan, to tell you the truth, in the past two or three months, people within the league have had strong opinions on some of Southampton's practices."
"Oh" Yang Huan narrowed his eyes, but he was not surprised at all.

Southampton entered the Premier League and made it clear that they were here to share the cake.
Every season, a newly promoted team will enter the Premier League, but the same promoted team will receive different treatment.
Which one is the most popular?
It's the likes of Norwich City, a typical one-season team in the Premier League.
These teams are not strong and have little financial resources.
They are fine in the English Championship, but in the Premier League Ha, sorry, big brother will teach you how to be a good person Generally speaking, this kind of team is the most popular because there is little threat to the existing teams in the Premier League.
There is also a team that has just been relegated but was quickly re-promoted, such as West Ham United this season.
The Hammers have qualified for promotion and will return to the Premier League next season.
For such teams, the Premier League is usually more tolerant.
After all, they are all old acquaintances, and the network and connections are there.
But there is another kind of team that has not yet been promoted to the Premier League, but has already made a name for itself.
It is powerful and wealthy.
Almost everyone believes that it will definitely be able to secure its position in the Premier League.
Such teams are rare, such as Fulham, which was acquired by a wealthy Egyptian man.
However, this kind of team is also the most unpopular, because once this team establishes a foothold in the Premier League, other teams will definitely be relegated in the new season.
As for who was demoted, it’s hard to say.
However, generally speaking, it is the middle and lower-tier teams that have greater opinions on the newly promoted teams.
Wealthy teams generally don't have much opinion or feeling about newly promoted teams.
There are only a few powerful teams in the Premier League.
Promotions cannot shake their status at all, and they don't need to worry about relegation, so they don't take it to heart at all.
But things are different this year Southampton was promoted to the Premier League with four golden titles: League Cup, FA Cup, English Championship and Europa League.
The Saints team is full of stars, powerful and wealthy.
Anyone can see that the Saints' ambition is not to avoid relegation.
They came here for the top four in the league.
Therefore, Southampton's upgrade is unwelcome to all Premier League teams.
Downstream teams are worried about relegation, mid-stream teams are worried about Europa League qualification, and upstream teams are worried about the top four in the league.
This situation has never happened before in the history of the Premier League.
So, in the past few months, this group of Premier League bosses have been picking holes and digging holes for Southampton.
"The biggest issue that everyone has a big opinion on is Southampton's jersey issue."
Scudmore said with a wry smile.
This is nothing new.
This is an old problem, okay?
Ferguson had criticized Southampton for advertising on their jerseys to solicit sponsorship, but in the end nothing happened.
However, the Premier League has clear regulations stating that advertisements and sponsorships are not required on jerseys.
Do you Southampton comply?
disobey Okay, don’t come to the Premier League.
We can rest assured. obey Then you have to lose business income As soon as Yang Huan heard what Scudmore said, he couldn't help laughing.
"Mr.
Scudmore, the commercial sponsorships we have signed have not expired yet."
Scudmore found this matter difficult.
What do the Chinese say?
Oh, that’s right, cutting off someone’s financial path is like killing one’s parents Southampton finally managed to attract these sponsorships.
Regardless of whether these sponsorships are really Yang Huan's personal property as the rumors say, are the Saints willing to give up just on those commercial sponsorships?
"This contract has not expired.
If we unilaterally break the contract, how much money will we have to pay?"

Scudmore frowned.
Yes, if you unilaterally tear up the contract, how can you get such a huge liquidated damages?
In the past, it was difficult for many of the newly promoted teams in the English Championship to even get sponsorship.
Who is like Southampton?
The ads are placed directly on the collar of the jersey.
Southampton has one ad on each cuff, one on the collar and two on the hem, for a total of five ad sponsorships on the jersey.
Business income ranges from large to small, ranging from as much as 30 million pounds per year to more than 10 million pounds a year.
In total, this is quite an astonishing amount of income.
"Mr.
Scudmore, our advertisements are already quite low-key.
They are so small and have no impact.
I don't understand why they can't be advertised."
After hearing this, Scudmore smiled bitterly and said: "The rules of the Premier League clearly stipulate that advertising is not allowed on jerseys."
"That's different.
We have been advertising since the English League One.
These contracts have been signed long ago.
We signed the sponsorship first and then became a Premier League team.
The situation is special."
Scudmore laughed even more awkwardly.
You, Master Huan, are trying to find exceptions in the rules.
"Mr.
Yang Huan, I personally understand Southampton's difficulties, but I'm afraid other teams won't agree."
At this point, Scudmore thought about it and said, "How about Mr.
Yang Huan, at this Premier League Chairman's Summit, you can explain it yourself and seek everyone's opinions."
Yang Huan knew in his heart that although Scudmore was in a high position, he might not have the weight.
"Okay, I will attend the Premier League Chairman's Summit in person" He also really wanted to see what tricks the Premier League club owners were planning to play.
When it comes to playing tricks, I like playing tricks the most.
Let’s see who among us will die.
There is nothing Scudmore can do.
If he remains neutral on this kind of thing, he will not be able to do a lot of work in the future.
"One more thing."
"Um" "When I was in Bucharest just now, Mr.
Jeremy Dallock, CEO of Sky TV, mentioned to me that he planned to restart negotiations for Premier League broadcast rights tomorrow and strive to complete them in a short time."
"This is a good thing" Yang Huan laughed.
Southampton now has a Europa League title in hand, and the share of broadcast fees next season will definitely not be less.
The bosses of those Premier League clubs are probably jealous and looking for excuses to make themselves sick.
"At the same time, they hope to complete the renovation of the broadcast system at St.
Mary's Stadium as soon as possible."
The level of broadcasting of the Premier League is second to none in the world of football.
What we rely on are the broadcast cameras in the stadium, right?
Southampton has now returned to the Premier League, and broadcasters have high hopes.
The previous reform of the broadcast system was suspended due to protests from Abramovich and some middle and lower-tier teams in the Premier League.
It makes sense to continue now.
"Okay, I will arrange this matter" Yang Huan readily agreed.
This is also good for Southampton.

Scudmore only had two things in total, one was delayed and the other was solved, so he was in a pretty good mood.
But whenever he thought of the upcoming Premier League Chairman's Summit, his heart was lifted to his throat.
With the way this young master behaves, there is no telling what kind of commotion will be caused by then.
The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of interest distribution that is at stake.
Yang Huan watched Scudmore walk back to Wangjiang Pavilion, feeling secretly amused in his heart.
Yang Huan doesn't pay much attention to whether there is jersey advertising sponsorship.
According to UEFA rules, the funds Southampton invests in new stadiums, new training bases and youth training can be deducted from liabilities.
Therefore, even without these shirt advertising sponsorship contracts, Southampton's debt is not that serious.
Especially considering that after promotion to the Premier League next season, the debt will be even less.
However, Yang Huan never likes to be pointed out when doing things.
When Ferguson made such a fuss, and now these team owners have come out to protest, Yang Huan is also angry.
Isn’t this still a promotion to the Premier League?
There's a lot of shit I have my own money and my own team.
I can do whatever I want.
What qualifications do you have to point your fingers?
Okay, now the more you say:
