Still in the Landmark Hotel, still in the largest conference room on the eighth floor, still in the same location.
In just one month apart, two Premier League Chairman’s Summits were held, which has never happened in the Premier League in the past two decades.
The last time such an intensive presidential summit was held before the establishment of the Premier League, there were a lot of things that needed urgent consultation.
But this time, it was because of a newly promoted horse southampton In the past month, it has been reported in the newspapers every day, causing worries among fans every day, and giving all chairman and owners of the entire Premier League a nightmare that they cannot sleep at night.
Everyone present hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible It's just that some things are easy to start but difficult to end.
Abramovich sat in Chelsea's seat, and Marina Granovskya sat behind him.
Like many people present, they were a little impatient to wait.
Especially Abramovich.
He was originally at odds with Yang Huan, and now he had to wait for him here.
He felt seriously unbalanced.
"It's outrageous to have so many of us waiting here for him," Abramovich said angrily.
"Yeah, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Just wait a little longer.
Things can't keep dragging on like this.
They have to be solved."
"But will he come or not?"
Someone in the conference room quietly echoed Abramovich's dissatisfaction.
They are all respectable people, but now they have to wait for someone here If this spreads out, wouldn't it make countless people laugh out loud?
But in the midst of this discussion, someone sneered and sneered at Abramovich.
"If you don't want to wait, you can leave."
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Ashley, the chairman of Newcastle.
This guy doesn't know what's going on.
He always dislikes Abramovich and wants to confront Abramovich in everything.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, a month ago, you said that Chelsea would also withdraw from the Premier League.
What, now you are regretting it."
After saying this, Ashley laughed sarcastically.
Abramovich was so angry that this damn British guy must have taken the wrong medicine.
Why are you holding on to me for no reason?
I didn't molest your wife, nor did I steal your lover.
Why do you like me so much and you can't get along with me?
But Ashley and Newcastle still have some influence among the local forces.
Therefore, Abramovich snorted and did not refute, but felt very unhappy.
You damn fat guy, next time we play Newcastle, I’d be surprised if I don’t cripple you.
Everyone found it funny to see two people who disliked each other competing.
Some people also know in their hearts that Abramovich simply dislikes Southampton and wishes that the Saints would really withdraw from the game.
But the problem now is that the sponsors won’t do it.
Big sponsors such as Sky, BT and Barclays have put pressure on the show.
If Southampton really withdraws, then this matter will still be played.
Maybe by then the Premier League will have a suspension scandal like Serie A and La Liga.
Thinking of this, many people are actually giving up.
David Gill was always sitting upright, but he had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone present, and he felt sad in his heart.
Yang Huan's methods are indeed clever.
Retiring with one move caught everyone off guard.
For most teams in the Premier League, the threat from Southampton is still unknown, and it is difficult to say whether it will even threaten themselves.
After all, the league has not started yet.

But if it affects the sponsors and reduces their income from various sponsorships, then it is cutting flesh on them.
How can they accept this?
Even to a certain extent, whether Southampton advertises on their jerseys or not has nothing to do with them.
It is useless.
Only a fool would do this at the expense of his own interests for the sake of a dispensable piece of chicken.
Thinking of this, David Gill sighed secretly in his heart, but never said a word.
He had an agreement with Southampton before, and Manchester United is not involved in this matter.
Abramovich was very depressed because he found that among the top teams in the Premier League, only Chelsea stood out.
He has received news to some extent that Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City will all participate in the International Champions Cup, so they are unwilling to offend Yang Huan and Southampton, and they are recruited.
Among the remaining teams, Tottenham Hotspur has always supported Southampton, and teams such as Aston Villa and Fulham all have foreign owners and are unwilling to interfere too much, let alone For a dispensable clause, I lost my own interests.
So, in this case, Chelsea are kind of on their own.
What a bunch of weaklings who just follow the wind and forget their own good.
Abramovich's heart was full of sorrow and wailing.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, attracting 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 delayed, I'm late."
Everyone present was muttering in their hearts, it was really late.
But no one can explain this reason.
You can't find the flight schedule to refute Yang Huan, right?
If you really want to be so serious, then you won't be able to do it now.
Peter Kenyon followed Yang Huan and walked in.
The two of them walked around the conference room in tandem and returned to the familiar position by the window.
Richard Scudmore waited until Yang Huan sat down, then coughed and stood up.
"Everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to attend this special meeting."
Everyone present did not give Scudmore any reaction, their expressions seemed to say, let’s get to the point, buddy.
Scudmore knew exactly what was going on.
"This time I invite everyone here mainly 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 looked like an old god, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Southampton's sponsorship and advertising on their jerseys is indeed against the regulations of the Premier League.
However, I think the Premier League should also properly consider the special situation of this team and give them special treatment.
I don't know what you think. " As soon as Scudmore finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
The attitude of the CEO of the Premier League is actually very clear, that is, let’s not care about it.
He had communicated this with Peter Kenyon before, and said that many teams had changed their tune, so Yang Huan agreed to come back to participate in this meeting.
But obviously some people don’t see it that way "I don't think this special case can be made" Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Abramovich.
The Russian is the quintessential anti-Saints vanguard.
Anyway, no matter what, I am against it "If the Premier League makes this exception for Southampton today, will Manchester United also use the strike as an excuse to request changes to the Premier League rules in the future, and we will be forced to agree?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Abramovich finished speaking, David Gill quit.
"Mr.
Abramovich, I need to remind you that Manchester United is a responsible giant team.
From the establishment of the Premier League to the present, we have always played an active and important role.
It is impossible for what you said to happen. an extreme situation” Abramovich is depressed, am I just giving an example?
David Gill glared and said, "If you want to give an example, why don't you use other people as an example?
Don't make it about Manchester United."
"I think that when the Premier League was founded, it decided to set up a roundtable in the hope that when we encounter things or problems, we can sit down and negotiate to resolve them, instead of ignoring the overall situation of the Premier League for personal grudges."

Everyone understood that the last part of David Gill's words was actually an allusion to Abramovich.
The situation is now clear.
Southampton withdrew and their sponsors stopped.
Are you willing to lose millions or even tens of millions of broadcast fees a year in order to maintain a dispensable ban?
The answer is obvious to everyone, it depends on how you choose "Let me say something," Tottenham Hotspur chief executive Daniel Levy stood up.
Everyone nodded in unison.
The helmsman of the North London team has the best management ability among the Premier League teams in recent years.
Second only to Southampton’s Peter Kenyon and even more than Manchester United’s David Gill.
This resulted in Daniel Levi still having a certain say in the roundtable.
"Southampton's situation is indeed quite special.
Such a large amount of liquidated damages is indeed no joke.
If the contract is really terminated, Southampton can only declare bankruptcy.
This is what none of us want to see."
Everyone present, 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 is best for the Premier League to adopt a tacit attitude."
In fact, to put it bluntly, just like the FA, they turned a blind eye.
But in Abramovich's view, this is condoning Southampton.
The Russian was about to retort, but Daniel Levi continued.
"However, we must restrict Southampton.
For example, we are not allowed to sign a new jersey advertising contract, nor can we arbitrarily expand the size of the jersey advertising, or change the location of the jersey advertising, etc., until the end of the existing contract."
Everyone thinks this makes sense.
How many years can you sign a contract?
Three years and five years
Okay, I will let you execute the contract.
After the contract is executed, you have to abide by the regulations of the Premier League.
"At the same time, the twenty teams we are present must also sign a new agreement.
From now on, no team, including newly promoted teams from lower-level leagues, will be allowed to advertise on their jerseys in any form or for any reason.
Otherwise, severe penalties will be imposed.”
After listening to this, everyone felt that Daniel Levi's proposal was quite reliable.
It can be regarded as a compromise method.
But David Gill, Abramovich and others looked somewhat grim after hearing this.
Daniel Levy's proposal not only restricts Southampton, but also restricts wealthy teams like them, eliminating the idea of advertising on their jerseys.
In other words, from now on, only Southampton can advertise on their jerseys, and no other team can 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 Scudmore could not help but nod, "I personally agree with it."
The CEO of the Premier League scanned the crowd again to figure out the situation.
"It's still the old rule, show your hands and vote."
The twenty teams present, plus the CEO of the Premier League, have a total of twenty-one votes, and more than half will count as passing.
As a result, the whole conference room started talking about it.
Abramovich was indignant in her heart and wished that everyone would oppose him.
She thought silently in her heart, "If you beat me to death, you won't even raise your hands."
But if you look around, you'll see people raising their hands.
Don't say half, I'm afraid it's close to twenty votes Especially Newcastle's Ashley.
Originally, this fat man didn't like Southampton and Yang Huan
