"Everyone, I am very happy that you can take part in the Premier League Chairman's Summit despite your busy schedule."
"First of all, let me introduce it to you" As Richard Scudmore pointed his hand, the two middle-aged men with the Burnley sign in front of the round table stood up and nodded to the left and right.
"These two are representatives of Burnley, John Banaskiewicz, who is the general manager of the famous British shipping company fis, and the person next to him is the chairman of Burnley, Mike Glick."
Amid the polite welcome applause from everyone, the two sat back down.
Burnley is neither a big team nor a big city.
The last time they returned to the Premier League was five years ago.
They were relegated in just one season, and the chairman at the time was not them.
"This is the chairman of Leicester City, Mr.
Vicharakris Kerthorne from Thailand.
Next to him is his son, who is currently the vice-chairman of Leicester City."
Vicha is ranked 11th on the Forbes Thailand rankings, but he is already somewhat famous in the Premier League.
Even though this Thai tycoon wears elegant glasses and looks very kind, you might think that he is a good old man.
In fact, he became famous precisely because he did two very rich things.
Once, he went to watch a game at Leicester City's home stadium, and his private plane was parked next to the stadium.
As a result, he lost the game and became depressed.
Before the game was over, he got on the private plane and watched everyone stunned.
In this case, walk away.
You can imagine how rich this guy must be at that time Another thing is that, as the strongest team in the English Championship, when Leicester City qualified for promotion to the Premier League, he announced that he would invest 180 million pounds to help the team compete for the European Championship. qualifications.
This immediately became the laughing stock of many fans and even those in the Premier League industry.
With the strength and foundation of the Leicester City team, they want to qualify for the European competition for 180 million pounds.
I'm sure I'm not kidding Therefore, as soon as the father and son from Thailand stood up, some people at the scene couldn't help but laugh.
Fortunately, the father and son didn't know why everyone was laughing, so it was nothing.
However, it has to be said that Leicester City is the most promising of the three promoted teams this season to avoid relegation.
The last newly promoted team is Queens Park Rangers, owned by Tony Fernandez, a rich man from Malaysia and the owner of Malaysia Airlines.
Two of the three newly promoted Premier League teams have owners from Asia.
The influence of the Premier League in Asia is evident.
As for Queens Park Rangers, they are not very strong in the Championship, but they have a famous head coach.
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp Through Redknapp's relationship, Queens Park Rangers made a lot of moves as soon as they were promoted to the Premier League.
For example, they introduced Ferdinand from Manchester United.
This transfer also surprised many people.
Yang Huan sat in his seat and looked at the three newly promoted horses, feeling a little funny in his heart.
"Peter, tell me, who among these three people will be able to sit here in a year?"
Peter Kenyon smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's all bad.
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 felt the same way.
"Oh, by the way, did you just propose that Tottenham Hotspur introduce Stones and Begovic?"
"Well, yes, when I was chatting with Daniel Levi, I mentioned it casually, is there any problem?"
Yang Huan shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that when Daniel Levi was talking to Hamad just now, I was a little strange."
After a pause, Yang Huan smiled again, "Actually, if Tottenham Hotspur really wants to bring in these two players, Chelsea will be more determined to buy Ranocchia if they can't buy Stones. when" At the end, Master Huan couldn't help but glance at Abramovich secretly.
Fortunately, the boss of Chelsea happened to look towards him, and the two of them looked at each other.
The Russian snorted viciously and turned his head away.
"Hey, let me tell you, I neither played with his wife nor cut off his money.
Tell me, why does he always dislike me?"
Yang Huan asked very puzzledly.

Just because our young master Huan is loved by everyone, loved by everyone, blooming by flowers, and carried in every car, who doesn’t like it?
Why does Abramovich seem to have a grudge against him for taking his wife?
While Yang Huan was complaining, Richard Scudmore was already on the stage introducing the income of the Premier League teams last season.
"In the past season, the new broadcast contract officially came into effect.
According to this contract, a total of six billion pounds was sold around the world.
This is also a huge improvement compared to the previous contract."
"According to this contract and in accordance with the past rules of sharing the broadcast revenue of the Premier League, our league champion, Southampton's income in this aspect is fully 40 million pounds more than last season, and the income exceeds 100 million pounds."
As soon as Scudmore said these words, the whole audience was in an uproar.
In the past two seasons, the Premier League champions were both Southampton, but the Saints, who won the championship in both seasons, had 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 teams increased, but the income of the bottom teams has also increased by 25 million pounds.
In other words, in the past season, Cardiff, which is at the bottom of the Premier League, has kept up with the revenue sharing of broadcast fees.
It’s almost the same as Southampton who won the title last season” After everyone heard this, they suddenly sighed.
For a Premier League champion, the broadcast revenue share reaches 100 million pounds, which is definitely the highest in European football.
Moreover, for the current Premier League teams, there is no need to deliberately pursue the Champions League, because the income of the Premier League itself is quite astonishing.
If it is for a Champions League result, it will lead to a decline in the Premier League rankings and heavy losses.
"The new season will be the second year of the new contract.
We will also 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 understands what Scudmore means.
Without the Premier League's active development of overseas markets in the past, the Premier League would have achieved its 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, League Cup final, or Community Shield, to be held overseas.
This can greatly enhance our overseas presence. influence.”
"Not only that, they are also actively preparing.
They hope to organize more overseas friendly matches for Premier League teams.
They hope to get active cooperation from the Premier League and the Premier League teams.
I don't know what everyone thinks."
This is also an important topic at this presidential summit.
The current summer preparations are very complicated.
The warm-up matches are basically done independently, which wastes a lot of resources.
Just like Everton, their warm-up match is arranged in the UK and they play against some lower-level league teams.
Not to mention the low value of the warm-up, the income is also very little or almost non-existent.
But if Everton goes to Asia or North America to play warm-up matches, the appearance fee can be at least one million, plus the commercial value, it will be better than playing warm-up matches in the UK and Europe, right?
After the great success of the International Champions Cup, Miracle Media already has sufficient resources and rich experience in this area.
It has no problem taking on the Premier League overseas warm-up matches and important finals.
Therefore, as soon as Scudmore finished speaking, the scene started to be noisily discussed.
But suddenly, someone stood up and shouted: "I object" There are still people who object to such a good thing Everyone looked closely, wasn’t it Abramovich?
"Currently, each club arranges its own schedule for warm-up matches, giving them autonomy.
Everyone can choose warm-up match opponents to prepare for the match based on their own circumstances."
"However, if we cooperate with Miracle Media, our income may not increase, but we have to accept the arrangements of outsiders, and they may not necessarily consider our team.
So I think that if we want to play overseas warm-up games, we can go by ourselves.
There is no need to cooperate with Miracle Media for planning and organization.”
After Abramovich's analysis, there is still some truth to it.
Many people present were nodding.
But soon, Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy also stood up, shook his head and said: "Roman's words are a bit taken for granted."

"I take it of course" said Abramovich unhappy.
"Yes, you are right about one thing.
We have organized overseas warm-up matches and pre-season matches for the Premier League in the past, but the results can only be said to be relatively average.
But maybe you don't know that these matches we held at that time were similar to If we cooperate with a company like Miracle Media that is far inferior in strength, otherwise, how could we and the Premier League alone be able to do it?”
Many people present who knew the inside story immediately nodded in unison.
"I have learned about Miracle Media.
They have experience in organizing events in North America, Asia and the Middle East.
I believe everyone knows about the success of the International Champions Cup, so I believe in their operational capabilities."
"As for transplanting cup finals overseas, Serie A has had such a precedent, and the response has been very enthusiastic.
I think we can give it a try.
In the foreseeable future, we can even consider moving some important Strong dialogue sessions will be held overseas.”
"Of course, we need more professional companies to be responsible for how to operate it specifically, but what I want to say is that the importance of overseas markets goes without saying.
How to further develop overseas markets will be the key to our continued development in the future. " When it comes to professionalism in the business field, Abramovich would not be able to catch up with Daniel Levy even if he was given ten more horses.
Therefore, as soon as Tottenham Hotspur's CEO finished speaking, he immediately received support from teams such as Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City, and even many mid- and lower-tier teams also spoke out.
Although their income has increased now, one or two million pounds in one overseas warm-up match is a lot for them.
More importantly, by actively developing overseas markets, if we can sign a few more sponsorship contracts, we will make a lot of money.
Finally, in this conference room, everyone except Abramovich thought that we should cooperate with Miracle Media.
This immediately put Chelsea and Abramovich into a lonely dilemma.
"Okay, I know everyone's opinions."
Scudmore stopped the discussion appropriately.
As the chief executive of the Premier League, he has to control the atmosphere and prevent everyone from breaking up on bad terms.
"We will continue to talk to Miracle Media on behalf of the Premier League on how to cooperate, and strive to launch this plan next summer.
If the Football Association agrees, we can even give it a try in the League Cup and FA Cup finals this season. " "Of course, we have always adhered to the voluntary principle.
If any team does not want to join this plan, it is completely fine."
After saying this, Scudmore immediately moved on to the next topic.
And Abramovich also sat down angrily.
He found that his words on this round table had less and less weight.
Damn it:
