It was already midnight when I returned to Southampton from Bucharest.

Everyone in Southampton, once they arrived at Southampton Airport, did not go to Stapletwood and rushed to Wangjiang Pavilion directly.

Huang Tianshun and others also received the news and had already prepared a sumptuous celebration banquet to welcome the team.

Soon, the entire Wangjiang Pavilion suddenly became a gang.

A thousand members of the Saints Fan Club, including the guests invited by the team, the whole scene was noisy and very lively.

Zhuang Ziqing didn't like such occasions, so Yang Huan directly asked Long Wu to take her to her villa in Southampton.

I stayed in Wangjiang Pavilion and celebrated with the guests and the players.

He even forgot how much he drank.

It was not until Skudmore came to invite him to talk outside that Yang Huan got out.

The two of them didn't go out and walked directly along the riverside of the Tester in the open-air restaurant area of ​​Wangjiang Pavilion.

"Southampton city has developed very quickly in recent years. I heard that the renovation of old cities is about to start now, and it will soon change again."

Scudmore said a little sigh.

Yang Huan smiled faintly, not commenting.

The Premier League is actually like a management company that is specifically responsible for the operations of the Premier League.

And Scudmore is the CEO of this management company.

To put it simply, he is the butler of the Premier League.

His power is given by these twenty Premier League teams.

However, Scudmore has been in charge of the Premier League for many years, and during his tenure, it was the most successful period of commercial development in the Premier League, so Scudmore has a significant influence in the Premier League.

But I'm sorry, he doesn't have the power to make any major decision.

Then you have to convene all the Premier League club owners or executives to have a meeting.

This is the Premier League President's Summit held every three months

Let’s give the simplest example, the winter break.

The giant teams are eager to have a winter break, and have called for many years. Even Scudmore agrees with it, but they just can't continue to execute it. The reason is that the majority of the mid- and lower-level teams do not care about your set.

Your top teams need to fight on multiple fronts, and you need to consider European competitions, but we don’t need them.

Our mid- and lower-level teams only care about domestic cup games, and even ours are not even ours. We only have to play in the league, and there is not much pressure. It is your top team's business. Who makes you 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, most votes are opposed to the winter break.

Sometimes things are so troublesome and so interesting

When Skudmore saw that Yang Huan was not speaking, he also smiled bitterly.

Although this young master Huan is young, he is very good at thinking.

"Southampton has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years. It has a large number of stars and is strong. Now, it is the UEFA Champion, with one step a year and will participate in the Premier League next season."

Yang Huan still didn't say anything, he was waiting for Skudmore to get to the point.

The Premier League CEO smiled bitterly in his heart and sighed, "This bad guy still has to do it himself."

"Mr. Yang Huan, I'm going to tell you that in the past two or three months, the league has had a lot of opinions on some of Southampton's practices."

"Oh?" Yang Huan narrowed his eyes, but he was not surprised at all.

Southampton is in the Premier League, and it is obvious that the carriage is about to divide the cake.

Every season, there will be new players entering the Premier League, but they will be treated differently.

Which one is the most popular?

It's Norwich and the like, a typical supporting team in the Premier League season.

These teams are not strong and have no financial resources. It’s okay to be arguably in the Championship League, but to the Premier League?

Ha, sorry, my big guy will teach you how to be a human being

Generally speaking, such teams are the most popular because there is little threat to existing Premier League teams.

Another type is teams that have just been relegated but have quickly upgraded, such as West Ham United this season.

The Hammers have been qualified for upgrades and will return to the Premier League next season.

For such a team, the Premier League is usually more tolerant.

After all, they are all old acquaintances, and their relationships are there.

But there is another type of team that has not yet been promoted to the Premier League, but has already made its name. It is strong and rich. Almost everyone believes that it will definitely be able to hold a firm position in the Premier League.

Such teams are rare, such as Fulham, which was acquired by the Egyptian rich man.

However, such teams are also the least popular, because once this team gains a foothold in the Premier League, there will definitely be other teams that will be relegated in the new season.

As for who is downgraded, it's hard to say

However, in general, mid- and lower-level teams generally have more opinions on the newly promoted team.

The giant teams generally don’t have much opinions on the newly promoted teams and don’t feel anything.

There are only a few powerful teams in the Premier League, and the newly promoted teams cannot shake their status at all, and they don’t have to worry about relegation, so they don’t care at all.

But this year's situation is different

Southampton is promoted to the Premier League with four golden titles: League Cup, FA Cup, English Championship and UEFA Cup. The Saints are full of stars, strong and wealthy.

Anyone can see that the saint's ambition is not a relegation

They're coming for the top four in the league

So, Southampton's upgrade is unpopular for all Premier League teams.

The downstream teams are worried about relegation, the midstream teams are worried about Europa League qualification, and the upstream teams are worried about the top four in the league.

This situation has never happened in the history of the Premier League.

So, in the past few months, these Premier League bosses have been picking and digging holes for Southampton.

"The thing that everyone has a big opinion is the problem of Southampton's jersey."

Skudmore said with a wry smile.

This is no new problem.

This is an old problem, okay?

Ferguson criticized Southampton for advertising on his jerseys to attract sponsorship, but it ended up leaving it alone.

But the Premier League has explicit regulations that there is no need to advertise on the jersey to attract sponsorship.

Do you follow Southampton?

Not complying?

OK, don't come to the Premier League, we'll be relieved

obey?

Then you will lose your business income

When Yang Huan heard Skudmore say it, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Scudmore, the commercial sponsorships we signed have not expired yet."

Skudmore thought this was a tricky thing.

What does the Chinese say?

Oh, by the way, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents

Southampton finally brought these sponsors, regardless of whether these sponsors are really as rumored by the outside world. They are all Yang Huan’s personal property, just because of those commercial sponsors, will the saints give up?

"This contract has not expired. If we unilaterally tore up the contract, how much will we have to pay?"

Skudmore frowned.

Yes, how can I get such a large penalty for breaking up the contract?

In the past, many of the English Championship teams were even difficult to get sponsorships. Who is like Southampton?

The advertisements are directly on the collar of the jersey

There is one advertisement on each of Southampton's cuffs, one on the neckline and two on the hem, and there are a total of five advertisement sponsors on the jersey.

Business income can be large and small, with the largest amount reaching 30 million pounds per year, and the small amount is more than 10 million pounds.

This is a very amazing income
