After Scudmore announced the start of voting, the atmosphere in the chamber became very tense.
Even Yang Huan, who looked like an old god, was sitting there with his hands intertwined and casually scanning everyone in front of the round table, but in fact, he was quite nervous.
This is a war without smoke.
Unlike on the football field, where each party relies on its strengths to fight against each other, this war will test more of a team's overall strength.
It’s not just about having good grades, speaking loudly, and making a lot of money to be useful, but it also depends on connections, relationships, and diplomacy.
Southampton has done a lot of work before, reaching interest alliances with upstarts like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and basically reaching an agreement with teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.
It can be said that among the mid-to-upper-tier teams, there are basically no opponents to this reform.
Although Yang Huan only said a few words to Abramovich, he could tell that if the Russians did not want to struggle with money, he would agree.
As for the mid- and lower-tier teams, the reform will certainly weaken some of their profits, but in general, the new contract will still bring them considerable revenue growth.
Coupled with the overall development momentum of the Premier League, as long as they operate properly , it is completely possible to form a lineup close to teams at the level of Naples, Roma, Valencia, Dortmund, and Schalke.
Therefore, Yang Huan is absolutely right.
The current problem in the Premier League is not that the weak teams are too weak.
The bottleneck that really limits the further development of the Premier League is that strong teams are not strong enough.
After Scudmore announced the start of voting, Ron Gurley immediately raised his hand at Yang Huan's instruction.
Also raising their hands were Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy, Manchester United's Ed Woodward, Arsenal's Gazidis, Liverpool's Ian Ayre, Manchester City's Mubarak, Everton's Owner Bill Kenright.
It is not surprising that these seven clubs raised their hands immediately, because they are the beneficiaries of this reform.
But it’s no use having only seven clubs behind it.
But didn’t anyone vote?
After a slight hesitation, representatives from Swansea, Stoke City, West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion also raised their hands, and the number of supported teams suddenly increased to eleven.
Soon, newly promoted Watford also raised their hands.
Yang Huan glanced at the representative of Watford, Gino Pozzo, who was sitting not far away.
The latter happened to look over, and Yang Huan nodded and smiled as a thank you.
The Pozzo family now owns many teams including Udinese, Watford and Granada, and Yang Huan also has a good cooperative relationship with them, so he previously considered loaning the Saints youth training to Watford. .
We even sold them to them at low prices this summer.
Do you really think Yang Huan is a fool?
In the final analysis, those youth training players are only half-finished products.
If they stay in the Southampton team, they may not be able to play well.
It is better to go to Watford to practice and level up.
If they are really good, Southampton can buy them back if necessary.
The Pozuo family has a different positioning from Yang Huan.
Their goal is to obtain maximum benefits with minimum investment.
Therefore, their teams are destined to take the mid-range route.
Whether it is Granada in La Liga or Watford in the Premier League, they are all positioned in the middle.
Southampton, Inter Milan, Hamburg and Atletico Madrid are all positioned in the upper reaches and even competing for the championship.
Therefore, there is no conflict of interest between Yang Huan and the Pozzo family.
On the contrary, they have considerable potential for cooperation.
Of course, just because of this level of cooperation, the Pozzo family will not give up the benefits they have obtained.
In the final analysis, whether Gino Pozzo will raise his hand in agreement is because he supports Yang Huan's point of view.
Richard Scudmore stood on the stage.
When he saw Gino Pozzo raising his hand, he immediately nodded and shouted, "OK, Mr.
Pozzo supports it.
Now there are twelve votes in total."
After Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chelsea who was sitting opposite him.
Abramovich seemed to have been staring at him.
When he noticed that Yang Huan looked over, he smiled slightly, as if to say, please beg me.

If you ask me, I will vote for it.
Yang Huan almost fainted when he saw the Russian's appearance.
Nimei, do you think this can threaten your young master Huan and me?
Thinking about it, Yang Huan spread his hands and made a grimace, as if to say, I don't care, don't invest if you have the ability.
If you don’t invest, don’t invest.
Who is afraid of whom?
Abramovich stared rudely.
"Is there anyone else?"
Scudmore glanced at the whole place and reminded.
It looks like if no one votes anymore, he's going to start counting.
There are now twenty teams, twelve votes in favor, and no one abstains, which means that the reform proposal is not passed.
Abramovich looked at Yang Huan again, only to find that Master Huan didn't look at him at all, feeling depressed.
Can you let me brush up on my presence?
"Boss, what should I do?"
Granovsky asked with concern.
Judging from this season, such reforms will do no good to Chelsea, only harm.
But the problem is, Chelsea can't always sink in the middle and lower reaches, right?
You will always get to the front row, and then the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages.
It can be said that no ambitious team will refuse such reforms.
Abramovich took another deep look at Yang Huan opposite him, but was still ignored.
She felt depressed in her heart.
He really had a willful urge to vote no.
But in the end, his reason prevailed, so he simply closed his eyes and nodded towards Granovskya.
When Granovskia saw it, he immediately raised his hands high, as if he was afraid that Scudmore would not see it, and shouted, "We at Chelsea also support" Abramovich slapped his forehead hard on the side, Nimi, please don’t get so frustrated, okay?
"Okay, Chelsea also supports it, thirteen votes."
Everyone in the audience almost held their breath.
In these few seconds, does anyone still raise their hands?
Is there any more?
Yang Huan was also moved by the atmosphere of the scene and took a tour.
But just when Richard Scudmore was about to announce the result, he saw the representative of the Leicester City team, the son of the owner Vicha Lacriscothorne, little Vicha also raised his hand high. .
At this moment, everyone in the audience was a little surprised.
Leicester City also want to support Yang Huan couldn't help but take a deep look at the old Vicha sitting next to the young Vicha.
This Thai is not simple either.
Little Vica is the vice-chairman of the Leicester City team, a bit similar to Hamad, the idle boss.
The real decision-maker is his father who does not live in the UK on weekdays.
This tycoon who announced that he would invest 180 million pounds when he was promoted to the Premier League, and who immediately got into a helicopter and left the stadium when he lost a game, seemed really ambitious.
"Let the scouting team pay more attention to collecting information about Leicester City.
This team needs to pay more attention."
If Yang Huan remembers correctly, Leicester City changed coaches this summer.
The new coach is Tinker Ranieri, a veteran of team integration.
This team should not perform too poorly in the new season. .
Ron Gurley nodded immediately, "Understood."
"Okay, fourteen votes."
Scudmore sounded a little excited.
In other words, there is no need to continue voting, and the reform plan is passed.

Perhaps the other clubs had been swayed by Yang Huan's words, but now they saw Leicester City also raising their hands.
Anyway, they had collected fourteen votes, so they also raised their hands as a favor.
Eventually, even Michael Ashley raised his hand.
In other words, twenty votes, all passed "yes" Yang Huan was half-lying on the soft office chair, but his hands under the round table were tightly clenched into fists.
The reform plan was finally passed Obviously, the people present are not stupid, they all know that this is a small opportunity to make a big difference.
Next, the Premier League must accelerate the pace of overseas development and further develop overseas markets.
Only in this way can the Premier League be developed into the top league in European football.
It should be said that since the implementation of the Bosman Act, European football has inevitably entered integration.
But since it is integrated, it is inevitable that there will be hierarchical divisions.
For example, the G14 organization built by teams such as Manchester United and Real Madrid in the past is the team that stands at the top of the European football pyramid.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
This group of wealthy teams are the hunters at the top of the food chain.
However, with the decline of second-tier league teams such as Ajax and Porto, and the influx of capital, the forces of European football are being redefined.
In the past few years, the signs have become clearer and more obvious.
That is, teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich have become superior to other teams, and even have almost the power to take away players from other teams.
In the eyes of these teams, money is not important at all, what is important is talent.
Other teams seem to have completely become star processing factories for these teams.
However, with the influx of capital, teams such as Manchester City, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged in recent years, and have gradually begun to compete with teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
We have the financial resources to compete with them for talents and resources, and we have the qualifications to challenge them.
But everyone knows that relying on this group of rich bosses and local fans at the stadium is not a long-term solution.
Therefore, if Premier League teams do not want to continue to be stepped on by teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich and fall prey to this group of hunters at the top of the food chain, they can only actively develop overseas markets and strengthen themselves.
Only with its huge overseas market can the Premier League have the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
At the same time, the Premier League needs a flag, or even multiple flags, to reach the top of the food chain and challenge other European powers.
Just imagine, if the top teams in the Premier League are capable of competing with the likes of Real Madrid, the mid-tier teams in the Premier League are at the level of the upper-tier teams in other leagues, and the lower-tier teams are on par with the mid-tier teams in other leagues. , then the Premier League will successfully trample other leagues under its feet.
By that time, the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, these leagues will be the most ideal star training bases for the Premier League.
As for the Premier League, it will have the opportunity to gather the best stars in the world and make money all over the world.
Therefore, this group of big bosses in the Premier League will support the reform.
This is a great opportunity for all teams.
If it succeeds, the Premier League will become the most successful and valuable sporting event in the world, and the teams in their hands will become worth a hundred times.
This is also a big positive sign for teams that are also ambitious.
That is, the time has come for the Premier League to redistribute its forces.
Whoever rushes forward will be the king.
This is also an opportunity for Southampton.
An opportunity that Yang Huan has been eagerly longing for.
Get it, and the Saints will rise to the top of European football from now on Of course, the challenges are not small.
It is completely foreseeable that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and even Liverpool should start gearing up and preparing for a big fight.
Yang Huan was really a little excited about this.
After holding back the big move for so long, it’s time for European football to see the amazing purchasing power of the Premier League:
