Richard Kudmore sat at the round table and glanced at everyone, feeling under great pressure.

As the CEO of the Premier League, his salary is only nearly £1 million a year.

But anyone sitting here represents a huge conglomerate with amazing wealth.

It's the kind of person who can make an earthquake in an industry just by saying a word

Even if they say the last word, they may lose their title as CEO of the Premier League.

Can you avoid being under great pressure? Can you avoid being trembling?

He was like this, and David Bernstein became even more depressed.

He is not even as good as Scudmore

"Thank you all for attending the regular meeting of the Premier League Chairman's Summit"

There was no applause, but everyone listened silently.

Scudmore seemed to be used to it, and it would be difficult to make these big bosses applaud.

"First of all, according to the customs at the end of the season, I will introduce to you three new members first."

Every season, there will be three new teams in the Premier League.

In other words, three people leave and three people come in every year.

This is a convention

"Mr. David OGold, the boss of West Ham United"

Two years ago, when Yang Huan came to the UK, he had contacted West Ham United, but later he did not acquire the team.

On the contrary, David OGold collaborated with a Welsh rich man and a Norwegian investment bank to acquire West Ham United.

However, David OGold himself is not very financially capable, with a net worth of only 250 million pounds.

"This is the Russian rich man, Mr. Anton Ozinarevich, the owner of Reading team."

The Russian nodded to everyone lightly, as a greeting.

Zigarevich is only 30 years old this year. He is the most famous rich second generation in Russia, but he is amazingly worth it. He has a huge asset of 3.4 billion pounds and can be called Russia's top rich second generation.

But what is most impressive about Zingarevich is not his wealth, but his beautiful wife.

As a Victoria's Secret contracted model, Garcia Zingarevich has always been a unique and beautiful landscape in the Reading stands.

Even a few days ago, the Sun had just conducted a fan survey, who would become the most beautiful first lady in the Premier League stands in the new season, Southampton, Reading and Liverpool ranked in the top three.

The charm of Victoria's Secret female model is still not as good as that of Zhuang Ziqing, who is so charming about the whole country.

"Finally, Southampton boss, Mr. Yang Huan"

When Yang Huan heard Skudmore pronounce his name, he just smiled faintly and kept sitting down.

No one stood up and said hello, why did you stand up?

The others all looked at Yang Huan, and on the one hand they were surprised at his youth.

You know, Zingarevi is only thirty years old and is already young enough.

But in front of the relatively old Russian rich second generation, Yang Huan was like a pink and charming young man.

I believe that many people who are not familiar with Yang Huan are doubting that this is the Saints boss who has brought Southampton to the UEFA Cup in the past two years and become the strongest Premier League promotion team in history?

Is this too young?

It's so young

But some people are in the mood to watch the show, just want to see how this legendary saint boss resolves the crisis in front of them.

You know, this time, Premier League teams have reached a very rare agreement on the issue of Southampton.

A brief introduction to the three new members, Scudmore began to introduce some of the situation in the Premier League in the past three months. Among them, the most popular thing for everyone present is undoubtedly the progress of the auction of Premier League broadcast rights since 2013.

"At present, five TV stations including Sky TV, British Telecom, EpN have signed up for the auction of local broadcast rights. In addition, the auction of copyrights in North America has also attracted the participation of many TV institutions including Fox, NHE 8N, etc., and copyright auctions in other overseas regions, as well as copyright auctions on other platforms such as the Internet will also be put on the agenda."

When Scudmore introduced this matter, he seemed quite hard.

This is his biggest bargaining chip in the Premier League chairman

"According to our current negotiations with Sky TV and other TV agencies, this auction will still be divided into seven packages, but the number of live broadcasts will be significantly higher than the previous contract."

This is the result of a compromise after negotiation between the two sides.

Although Scudmore did not say it explicitly, he was actually telling everyone that the rights to broadcast the Premier League will definitely be richer than the previous one, and it is not impossible to double the rumors from the outside world.

This caused an uproar among the people in the entire roundtable conference room.

Too amazing, isn't it?

David Bernstein looked even more envious and jealous. Such a big piece of cake was not as good as their FA.

That's more than one billion pounds a year

Skudmore glanced around and took everyone's reaction to heart.

When he passed by Yang Huan, he found that the Southampton boss was not surprised at all and seemed to be completely unmoved.

This young master Huan's patience skills are too good, right?

Is such a large income not enough to be moved by him?

After thinking about it, Skudmore felt it was no wonder.

There have been rumors outside that Yang Huan is just a game company and earns more than 10 million pounds a day.

Too profitable

Although the Premier League broadcast rights are sold at a high price, in fact, even the teams that win the championship will be at most 100 million.

"Next issue"

The broadcasting rights auction has not yet begun. After Scudmore briefly introduced the situation, he immediately moved to the next issue.

"I received another document from the FA. The document mentioned that the government hopes to establish a constructive club license system, which will be approved by the FA. At the same time, fans must participate in the management."

As soon as Skudmore finished speaking, someone immediately objected loudly at the scene.

"This is absolutely impossible"

The call was Manchester United CEO David O'Gill, who seemed very indignant.

"Portsmouth has been relegated. Their affairs in the Championship have nothing to do with the Premier League."

David O Jill's words were immediately recognized enthusiastically.

"I agree that the current system in the Premier League is very standardized, so there is no need to introduce another license system."

"I'm afraid I don't want to get some license, but I want to reach into the Premier League to make money."

"We have already set aside a sum of money to the FA every year. We pay so much taxes every year and create such a large amount of consumption. Isn't that enough?

"Too excessive, too outrageous"

"If they want to force the licensing system, we will stop the game."

“Yes, strike”

It can be seen that at this point, the interests of everyone are consistent.

That is, the Premier League must unite and fight against the FA and the British government.

David Bernstein was embarrassed. He felt that he was invited to attend, not to be an audience member, but to be shot.

When it comes to this matter, the FA is also a sad shield.

In the past two years, Portsmouth in the English Champions League has had two major internal strife due to financial problems, angering the fans of the Pompeii Army, which resulted in fans protesting to the government.

The new Sports Minister Robson is also very dissatisfied with the situation where the Premier League is separated from the FA.

He even said in public that football is the worst sport regulated by the British government.

The subtext is that supervision of football will be strengthened.

The rights to broadcast the Premier League are rising steadily, and almost every contract is soaring, but these have nothing to do with the British government and the FA. Not only that, the British government and the FA have to invest a sum of money every year to carry out youth training and training.

It was in this case that the British Ministry of Sports proposed the so-called licensing system.

But it is obvious that this matter cannot be passed by the Premier League.

The Premier League is too powerful now, and it’s really a stalemate, and neither side can get any benefits.

Just look at the performance of these rich people with turbulent feelings.

Scudmore is also a smart person. This time, he invited David Bernstein to attend, which actually means letting the FA see the reaction of the Premier League. It is best to let the FA retreat when he sees the difficulties.

David Bernstein looked embarrassed, but he had no right to speak.

Of course, he spoke, and no one listened to him.

The FA is a tragic role in the Premier League.

"Then we will go to the next issue." Skudmore felt that it was almost done and cut in decisively.
