Yang Huan saw Richard Skudmore's expression all over his eyes, and he also felt funny in his heart.

After all, the chief executive of the Premier League has the feeling that he wants to let the horse run, but he refuses to let the horse eat more grass.

On the one hand, I hope that major teams can introduce more influential stars to enhance the influence and competitiveness of the Premier League. On the other hand, they are unwilling to take care of major teams in terms of policies and systems. funny.

Think about it again, why didn't Manchester United sign up in the late years of Ferguson coaching?

Ferguson's own factors are on the one hand, but in the final analysis, it is because Manchester United does not have that motivation.

The football teams in the Premier League are all companies, even listed companies, which have to consider their operating conditions.

Just ask, when Manchester United can maintain the team's operation and maximize the team's profits with a lower salary cost, let's ask, where does the motivation for Manchester United to sign up?

Oh, playing with this group of players can basically guarantee that the top four can win the championship, why should I spend so much effort to sign up?

If you don’t believe me, then look at Manchester United’s financial statements for the past few years. The income and expenditure situation in it can clearly show that Manchester United is not moneyless at all, because he is profitable every year, which is similar to Arsenal in recent years. Very similar.

After all, they all lack motivation!

As for talking about debts, it's all nonsense.

If Manchester United doesn't increase signings and can't keep the top four in the league, will the Glazers make great efforts to sign them?

Look at the current Manchester United. It's not the same as in debt, but how much money have you burned for the top four in the league?

This shows that debt is not a problem at all!

Yang Huan is now facing the same problem, which is how Southampton will go next.

You should know that Yang Huan's advantage as a traverser no longer exists. Next, Southampton wants to introduce superstars such as Hazard, Neuer and Varane at a low price. It is basically possible.

If you want to continue to maintain this set of superstar strategy of the current team, it can only follow the Barcelona and Real Madrid routines, with generous investment, the introduction of the highest level of players to ensure their own competitiveness.

This is not a big problem for Southampton.

But Yang Huan has another option, that is, like Manchester United and Arsenal, to defend the base camp of the Premier League and try to reduce costs. As long as the competitiveness of the top four in the league is maintained, the rest will be ignored.

If it is the latter, Yang Huan will be able to recover at least two or three billion pounds steadily as long as he successively sells a group of stars in the team.

In other words, he can lie down and make money from now on.

"Richard, if as you said, the transfer of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can drive up the overall broadcast fee of the Premier League by about 30%, then I would like to ask, introduce these two What should we do about the salary and management pressure brought by the superstar?"

When Yang Huan asked this question, his tone was plain, but his expression was serious.

Scudmore immediately realized that the problem was thorny.

The Premier League’s current broadcast fee sharing scheme is a bit like eating a big pot of rice.

And as long as you eat a big pot of rice, you will inevitably have fish in troubled waters.

Regardless of how the Premier League’s championship battles and relegation battles are very hot every year, in fact, every year there are several teams that are more than just the best, and they have no motivation at all.

They have only one goal to stay in the Premier League.

As long as they can succeed in relegation, they have no other* at all.

From another perspective, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur are indeed not obliged to introduce these two superstars.

Because after raising the broadcast fee of the Premier League, all the profits have to be scored with the other 20 teams, which is completely disproportionate to their investment.

This is why Manchester United and other teams have no incentive to introduce superstars.

Yang Huan saw the appearance of Skudmore hesitating and stopped, and he was very funny in his heart, and continued: "Last time you asked me, the Premier League team is not strong in the European game. Is there any way? I did not answer you. But now, I can tell you, yes!"

Scudmore looked at Master Huan, and he vaguely guessed something.

"That is the Premier League has given a clause to give extra rewards to those teams that perform well in the European League."

Skudmore frowned, Yang Huan's proposal was not beyond his expectation.

Because this is also the appeal of the big teams.

In order to play in the European War, the big teams must be equipped with a stronger lineup, a deeper bench thickness, and a higher investment.

But the problem is that no one can guarantee the results of the European war.

Even if the results of the Premier League are affected by the European war, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

Therefore, in the past few years, the league is the main business of the Premier League team, and the European war is only a part-time job.

As for the extra income in the Champions League, this is true, but the results of the Champions League cannot be guaranteed, but the investment is real.

When players’ transfer fees and salaries are high and the team feels that the cost of playing the Champions League is not proportional to the output, they will naturally make choices.

It's like Arsenal, in the top sixteen, what do you think of him?

"Master Huan, what do you mean?" Skudmore asked.

Yang Huanhao smiled in his spare time and said: "My idea, it's very simple, reform the overseas copyright sharing clause!"

As soon as this was said, Skudmolton's eyelids twitched and he whispered, as expected!

After all, the big teams have started to play overseas copyright!

Many fans don't know that there are actually two different modes of sharing copyright fees for broadcasting the Premier League.

One is local copyright, and the other is overseas copyright and other copyrights.

The local copyright division model is known to the fans. Half of the 20 teams are divided equally, 25% are divided according to the league ranking, and the remaining 25% are divided according to the number of broadcasts. Come points.

This clause has passed since the establishment of the Premier League to the present, and it is also the most talked about by Premier League fans.

But I am afraid that not many fans know that the overseas copyrights of the Premier League and the copyrights of other platforms are not divided according to this set of models, but all in a package, and the twenty teams are equally divided!

The reason for this is that when the Premier League was founded, even in the years after the turn of the century, the overseas copyrights of the Premier League and the copyrights of the Internet and other platforms were not popular, and there was not much income at all, so that all the teams Both focus on local copyright.

Let me ask, ten years ago, who would have thought that overseas copyright would rise to the current level? It's about to fight against the local copyright!

But the problem is that overseas copyrights and copyrights on other platforms are more supported by the influence of big teams.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as the emergence of Southampton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in recent years, these teams have created the popularity of the Premier League overseas.

Especially with these years, the Premier League giants have split up and are increasing their influence in North America, Asia and the Middle East.

However, when they are increasing their influence, the income that has been increased by leaps and bounds in overseas copyrights in the Premier League must be evenly divided with those midstream and downstream teams that have little influence overseas, which is very problematic.

For a long time, many Premier League teams, including Manchester United, have expressed their opinions on the overseas copyright distribution model, but due to the interference of the mid- and lower-stream teams within the Premier League, they finally failed to reach an agreement.

Now, it is obvious that the saints intend to raise this point again.

"Frankly speaking, Richard, I personally think that the Premier League’s distribution model is reasonable, but overseas copyrights and copyrights on other platforms should not be shared equally by the 20 teams, but should imitate the local distribution model of the Premier League. ."

Yang Huan knew very well in his heart that fishing from exhaustion would not work.

It is impossible to distribute copyright income in accordance with overseas influence.

This piece of interest is too great, and the growth rate is too fast, it is impossible for the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League team to agree.

However, if it is carried out in accordance with the local distribution model of the Premier League, it is tantamount to a compromise solution.

He and Ron Gurley made a preliminary estimate. From the perspective of the current Premier League’s overseas copyright income, the difference between the local model and the even distribution of Southampton’s ranking should be around 20 million pounds.

In one year, there will be about 50 million pounds instead of 30 million pounds now.

Even if the number of broadcasts is further liberalized, Southampton's overseas copyright share can be even higher.

As for the midstream and downstream teams, although they have lost a bit, they are not completely unacceptable.

After all, when it comes to overseas copyright development, they are indeed incomparable with the superpower teams.

Richard Scudmore also knew in his heart that for teams like Southampton that have a huge influence overseas, the benefits they can get by distributing overseas copyright income according to the local model will be greater.

Those middle and lower teams will be affected to a certain extent, but not very much.

After all, they have many games against strong teams every season.

It can also be said that it is indeed a relatively fair practice to distribute overseas copyright income according to the local model.

After hearing Yang Huan's words, Skudmore nodded, "Master Huan, we will seriously consider your proposal."

After a pause, Skudmore continued: "As for the rewards for Premier League teams participating in European competitions, this has always been our research, and we may come up with a plan in the near future."

"Then the best!" Yang Huan smiled faintly.

No matter what Skudmore said now, it was useless at all.

After all, he is just a steward, helping 20 Premier League teams, or perhaps the dozen or so teams in the Premier League, in charge of the Premier League. When it comes to specific actual power, it depends on the Premier League chairman. Voting at the summit.

Therefore, Skudmore's statement is just a first step.

…………

…………

When Yang Huan and Skudmore were eagerly communicating in the stands, the two teams facing each other on the court still maintained a high-pressure stalemate.

Regardless of the fact that the score on the court is still zero to zero, in fact, the atmosphere is very tense.

Both sides adopted the tactics of high-intensity pressure and pressing, which led to the battle between every inch of the court, which was very fierce.

Both Guardiola and Bielsa are constantly adjusting their tactics in order to create loopholes in their opponents, but both sides have done quite well in terms of on-the-spot command and targeted tactics.

It is not difficult to see from this point that the preparation of the two coaches before the game is quite meticulous.

Because if you don’t have enough in-depth understanding of the opponent and prepare enough plans~lightnovelpub.net~ Faced with so many emergencies, it is difficult for the head coach to make such targeted adjustments in a short time. .

Bielsa and Guardiola are undoubtedly leaders in this area. Their preparations before the game have always been talked about by insiders and fans.

This time even more prepared than usual!

Because tonight this is the Champions League final!

With the sigh of the on-site commentator, "Just for the preparation before the game, this game is enough to become a textbook for professional coaches and a model for all head coach research."

But there is a saying, no matter how perfect tactics are, there will be loopholes.

When the two sides fight equally on the tactical level, it is the level of strength of the players of the two teams that determines the game.

The stalemate between the two sides of confrontation and restraint lasted just over half an hour, and the balance on the court was eventually broken.

And the first to break the situation is...
