Chapter 490: If you don't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster
Skudmore's words really make sense.
But if it makes sense, it does not mean that it can be passed.
The reason is simple. For Manchester United and Arsenal, limiting players' salaries and limiting agent commissions is equivalent to limiting teams including Manchester City, Chelsea, and even Southampton to sign ups.
It cannot be said to be completely cut off, but at least it has a certain limiting effect.
But for teams such as Manchester City and Southampton, they cannot enhance their strength through signings. So how can they compete with the powerful? How can they have the opportunity to show their strength in the European arena?
Therefore, there are principles, but things in the world are often very complicated.
It seems that the Premier League broadcast rights are sold so much that all Premier League teams are making a lot of money. It should be a happy thing, right?
No, in fact, if a reporter asks the bosses of the twenty teams present, he will definitely find that at least five teams are worried or even unhappy.
Don't be surprised, they are not fools or idiots, and they won't feel unhappy when they make a lot of money.
The real reason why they are unhappy is that if they make more money, the relegation will become unprecedentedly tragic.
Because the English Championship and the Premier League are the difference between heaven and hell, no one wants to be transferred to the English Championship.
By then, the Premier League's relegation battle will be a cruel war involving tens of millions of pounds. All teams will do their best to do everything they can to lose their opponents and protect their Premier League seats.
Then, teams that are at risk of relegation will naturally not be happy
What is really happy is often the middle and upper-level teams that rank high in the league and have no threat of relegation.
Even the giant team
So sometimes, the truth doesn't make sense
Finally, after a period of fierce debate, the two sides could only reach a consensus, which was to begin negotiating the Premier League version of fiscal fairness policy. The specific details will be launched after the summit and will be sent by various clubs to negotiate and discuss.
To put it bluntly, this policy still cannot stop the club from burning money.
As long as you do not violate fiscal fair policies, the Premier League will burn as much as you like.
For Southampton, there is not much difference between this policy.
Although Yang Huan likes to burn money, with the current situation in Southampton, it is not a problem to burn much.
If there are some common topics in fiscal fairness policy, then the next topic is a bit less popular.
Especially when Scudmore invited FA Chairman David Bernstein to explain this, the youth training reform plan named Glorious Revolution, at least more than half of the team bosses present stood up and opposed it.
"Five percent?"
The entire conference room was in full swing.
"Mr. Bernstein, are you kidding? We want to take out five percent of the Premier League revenue every year to support your youth training reform plan? Are you sure you haven't forgotten to take medicine and go out?"
"That's right, this is simply grabbing money"
"Do you know how much money we spend every year for no reason?"
"I'll do it for you. The parachute subsidy for Premier League teams who have been relegated in the past two seasons is more than 60 million pounds each year. The assistance funds for mid- and downstream leagues have increased from 11.2 million pounds three years ago to 56.4 million pounds now, which is a full five times."
"Also, we give Tony Blair and Keegan's Football Foundation a year of 12 million pounds, to the Professional Players League a year of 17.3 million pounds, and to give the opportunity to create plans for 10.8 million pounds a year."
"In addition, there are the Professional Referee Committee, the Professional Coach Association, the Youth Training System, and the National League Support Fund."
"Now you still have to pay 5% of the annual support for youth training丨Are you sure?"
The club chairman and bosses present seemed very angry when they heard that they wanted to support youth training, and some even left the venue in anger.
Seeing this scene, David Bernstein was also a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but look at Yang Huan immediately, revealing a request in his eyes, as if saying, "Young Master Huan, I can't hold on anymore, please say a few words."
Yang Huan looked at the poor old man and smiled slightly.
"I'll say a few words"
As soon as Young Master Huan spoke, everyone present suddenly became quiet.
Many people looked at him silently, wanting to hear what he said.
After all, the whole Premier League knows that Yang Huan is the most thoughtful Premier League boss, and many times, his ideas are very advanced.
"I'll tell you my own thoughts, but one requirement is, please don't interrupt me before I finish speaking, thank you."
Everyone present nodded and agreed.
"First, let's determine a premise, youth training must be done."
"I won't say a lot of high-sounding words, just say one thing, I've counted it. In the past three seasons, the agents of the Premier League have drawn commissions of more than 200 million pounds from the transfers of 20 teams. The money has fallen into their pockets and has not flowed back to the Premier League."
As soon as Yang Huan said this, many people present opened their eyes wide.
More than 200 million pounds?
Is this the past three seasons?
On average, it's 70 million pounds per season
It is equivalent to 14% of the local broadcast rights for the Premier League in one season
"I don't know if you have ever thought about why it has reached such an outrageous level? It means that we work hard to run the team, develop the market every year, and even take huge risks. As a result, most of the benefits we earn fall into other people's pockets."
"Why is this happening?"
In fact, everyone present knew it well. The reason may be complicated, but the bad English youth training is definitely a very important factor.
If you can't, you have to introduce foreign players.
Many people say that English players have an inflated value, which is true, it is indeed inflated, and it is ridiculously inflated.
But will the English team not be slaughtered if they introduce players from abroad?
Any boss and chairman of the British team knows that many times, when they introduce players, they rely more on agent recommendations. Some teams even do not even have a decent scouting system, let alone go to inspect players everywhere.
It would be strange if such a team is not slaughtered.
Yang Huan even thought that with the revenue of Premier League teams of at least 50 to 60 million pounds per season, the company's operations are so clumsy, which is really unimaginable, and it can even be said to be completely irresponsible.
"Player salaries must be properly controlled, and the agent's commissions need to be paid attention to. The Premier League must find a path of sustainable development and reduce unnecessary losses and waste, which is one of them."
"We can't be the fool who is left to the slaughter of the broker. We don't make their ATMs."
"If we cannot effectively improve our youth training level, then we will continue to be at a disadvantage in the transfer market in the future. We have worked hard to discuss and increase the broadcast fee. In the end, in a word from the agent, we have to give the money away with the increase in salary and commissions."
"And it's endless, unlimited surge. If you don't believe it, you can look back at the past few years. Once the broadcast fee contract has increased, the player's salary and agent commission will be immediately raised, just like a vampire."
When everyone present heard this, they nodded without stopping.
Young Master Huan's words hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head of the club owners.
No one is a fool, almost everyone knows that the Premier League cannot continue to go like this, otherwise the fiscal policy just now would not reach a consensus.
But this is a long-term benefit.
However, some people and some teams may choose to sacrifice long-term interests because of short-term interests.
Yang Huan told them that this is related to the common interests of everyone.
If you cannot increase the bargaining chips in your hands, you can only let the agent be slaughtered as a fat sheep.
Improving the level of youth training is undoubtedly one of the effective means to increase negotiation chips.
"That's good, youth training must be done. After this general direction is determined, the details will be easier to solve."
"I read this youth training reform plan submitted by the FA. The abolishment of the 90-minute youth training range restrictions and the formation of a fifth-level professional league are all very good suggestions. It is required that the club improve the youth training software and hardware facilities. I think it is also very necessary and will be helpful to every team."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but smile.
"To be honest, many of our Premier League teams are now holding back their training bases. Many investors are discouraged when they see it. If you build the training base and youth training camp, you might want to sell the team and sell it at a better price."
Many people present couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard this.
Football clubs are actually like luxury goods. If you buy them, you can't make money or create benefits. Even if you don't lose money, it's pretty good.
To really make money, you have to wait until the moment you sell the team.
This buy and sell, investors earn the intermediate price difference, which is to make money
"There is another one we need to pay attention to, which is the referee."
Yang Huanyu Qian walked out of her position and talked freely under the gaze of everyone on the scene.
"Our Premier League is like a company, and the product is our league. All those who sell products know that you have to pay attention to the packaging and build a good image. However, in the past few years, there have been endless violent incidents on the court and the referees' poor and bad misjudgments and misjudgments, which have seriously damaged the image of the Premier League."
Yang Huan raised the document in his hand, "I just looked at it. The annual support we give to the Players' Union is more than 10 million, but how much is the support we give to the referee? 2.9 million pounds."
"I think this number is too small. I want to increase it. I think it can be discussed in detail, but I suggest that we should establish a strong incentive mechanism so that every outstanding referee who strictly and fairly enforces the law can obtain higher and more decent income, so that our referee level and law enforcement standards can be in line with the European continent as soon as possible."
The referees of the Professional Referee Committee are not only whistlebrating the Premier League, but also whistlebrating all professional leagues in England, with a large number of people and a mixed level of law enforcement.
In the past few years, Premier League teams have arrived in European arenas, and the referees' law enforcement standards are different, which is a very disadvantageous point.
"Many teams think that European games have nothing to do with them, which is a very short-sighted view."
"Fans pay attention to a team, first of all, they must pay attention to his stars, a league, first of all, they pay attention to the top strong teams in this league. The way and way they pay attention to and evaluate these top strong teams is the European arena."
"I can even say that the better the performance of the giants in the European court, the greater the driving effect on the Premier League and the greater the influence. In the end, you will find that the next broadcast contract will be greater than the current one."
This is another virtuous cycle relationship.
"So I personally think that while retaining the Christmas schedule, we should consider introducing short-term winter breaks in January, or staggering some games to leave players with more rest time."
"And I also believe that while paying attention to local players training and competitions, we should also try our best to enhance our attractiveness to top superstars, because the joining of superstars can greatly drive the expansion of the league's influence and thus drive the entire market operation."
Yang Huan talked more and more deeply, and he even couldn't stop it later.
But he himself was nothing, but many people present, even Scudmore and David Bernstein, were frightened by his many words.
Who would have thought that Young Master Huan was so young but thought so widely and so many, compared to those of them, the old football industry, was even better than that.
Can it not surprise people?
Young Master Huan really won't make a sound, but it's awesome
