Chapter 808 I object!

"Everyone, I'm glad you can take your time to attend the Premier League summit."

"First of all, I'll introduce it to you!"

With Richard Scudmore's hand pointed, at the roundtable, the two middle-aged men with Burnley signs in front stood up and nodded to the left and right.

"These two are Burnley's representatives, John Bunaskivich, general manager of the famous British shipping company FIS, and the one next to him is Burnley's chairman, Mike Grick!"

Amid the polite welcome and applause of the crowd, the two sat back on their seats.

Burnley is neither a big team nor a big city. The last time he returned to the Premier League was probably five years ago, and he was relegated in one season, and it was not them at that time.

"This is the chairman of Leicester City, Mr. Vicha Lachriskosson from Thailand, next to his son, currently the vice chairman of Leicester City."

Vicha is a figure on the Forbes ranking in Thailand, ranking 11th, but he is already well-known in the Premier League.

Although this rich Thai man looked very kind with gentle glasses, he thought he was a good man.

In fact, he became famous precisely because he did two very rich things.

Once, he went to Leicester City to watch the ball at home, and the private plane stopped on the side of the court. As a result, he lost the game and was depressed. Before the game was over, he boarded the private plane and left with everyone stunned.

It can be imagined how rich this guy would have been at that time?

Another thing is that, as the strongest team in the English Championship, Leicester City qualifies for the Premier League to upgrade, he shouted that he would invest 180 million pounds to help the team compete for European qualifications.

This immediately became a laughing stock for many fans and even the Premier League insiders.

With the strength and foundation of Leicester City, I want to get the European war qualification for 180 million pounds?

Are you really sure you're not kidding?

So, as soon as the father and son from Thailand stood up, someone couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, the father and son didn't know why everyone laughed, so there was nothing left.

However, it has to be said that Leicester City is the most promising team in three teams this season, with the most hope of relegation.

The last team of promoted teams was Queen's Park Rangers, the owner of the Malaysian Airline, Tony Fernandez.

The bosses of the three Premier League teams, two of which are from Asia, are evident in the influence of the Premier League in Asia.

As for the Queen's Park Rangers, they are not very strong in the Championship, but they have a well-known head coach.

Former Tottenham Hotspur famous coach Redknapp!

Through Redknapp's relationship, Queen's Park Rangers made a lot of moves as soon as they entered the Premier League. For example, they introduced Ferdinand from Manchester United, which also surprised many people.

Yang Huan sat upright in his seat and looked at the three promoted horses, and felt a little funny.

"Peter, you said, in a year, who else can sit here?"

Peter Kenyon smiled slightly, "I'm afraid they're all bad. The only thing that's more promising is Leicester City. The remaining Queens Park Rangers and Burnley are basically all in one season!"

Yang Huan nodded, he felt so.

"Oh, by the way, did you just propose to let Tottenham Hotspur bring in Stones and Begovich?"

"Well, yes, when I was chatting with Daniel Levi, I mentioned it casually. Is there any problem?"

Yang Huan shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just that when Daniel Levi was talking to Hamad just now, I was a little surprised."

After pausing, Yang Huan smiled again, "Actually, Tottenham Hotspur really wants to introduce these two players. It's okay, Chelsea can't buy Stones, and they will have greater determination to buy Ranokia, then..."

At the end of the story, Young Master Huan couldn't help but secretly glance at Abramovich.

It was so terrible that the Chelsea boss also looked at him. The two met. The Russian snorted fiercely and turned his head.

"Hey, I said, I didn't play with his wife, nor did I cut off his wealth. Why did he always dislike me?"

Yang Huan asked in confusion.

Just because we, Young Master Huan, love everyone, bloom when flowers bloom when they see them, and see the pink and tender young meat in the car, who doesn’t like it?

Why does Abramovich seem to have the hatred of taking his wife?

While Yang Huan was complaining, Richard Scudmore had already introduced the revenue of Premier League teams last season on stage.

"In the past season, the new broadcast contract has officially come into effect. According to this contract, a total of 6 billion pounds have been sold worldwide, which is a huge improvement over the previous contract."

"According to this contract, according to the rules of the past Premier League broadcast revenue sharing, our league champion, Southampton, has earned 40 million pounds more than last season, and its revenue exceeded 100 million pounds!"

As soon as Skudmore said this, the audience was in an uproar.

In the past two seasons, the Premier League champions have been Southampton, but the Saints, who have won the championship in both seasons, have a difference of 40 million pounds in terms of broadcast fees, which shows how powerful the new broadcast contract is.

"It's not just the income of the champion teams that have increased, but the income of the bottom teams has also increased by 25 million pounds. In other words, in the past season, Cardiff, which ranks at the bottom of the Premier League, has almost the same revenue share as Southampton, which won the championship last season!"

When everyone heard this, they felt sighing.

A Premier League champion has a broadcast revenue share of 100 million pounds, which is definitely the best in European football.

Moreover, for today's Premier League teams, there is no need to deliberately pursue the Champions League, because the Premier League's income itself is quite amazing. If it is for a Champions League result, it will lead to a decline in the Premier League rankings and suffer heavy losses!

"The new season will be the second year of the new contract. We will officially start the negotiation process for the next contract in half a year. Before that, we all hope that Premier League teams can go out of the British Isles and Europe more."

Everyone was beneficiary of the new contract and understood what Skudmore meant.

If the Premier League had not actively developed overseas markets in the past, could the Premier League have the current revenue?

"We reached a consensus with Miracle Media. They hope that we can arrange some important events, such as the FA Cup final, the League Cup final, or the Community Shield Cup, to be held overseas, which can greatly enhance our overseas influence."

"Not only that, they are also actively preparing, hoping to organize more friendly matches for Premier League teams overseas, and hope to get active cooperation from the Premier League and various Premier League teams. I wonder what everyone thinks?"

This is also an important issue in this Chairman's Summit.

The preparations for summer are very complicated now. The warm-up matches are basically fought on their own, wasting a lot of resources.

Just like Everton, the warm-up match is arranged in the UK, playing against some low-level league teams. If you don’t mention the low warm-up value, you will have very little income, or even almost no.

But if Everton goes to Asia or North America to play warm-up matches, the appearance fee will be at least one million, and coupled with the commercial value, it will be better than playing warm-up matches in the UK and Europe, right?

After the great success of the International Champions League, Miracle Media has already had sufficient resources and rich experience in this regard. It is no problem to undertake the overseas warm-up matches and important finals of the Premier League.

So, as soon as Skudmore finished speaking, the scene started to talk nonsense.

But suddenly, someone stood up and shouted, "I object!"

Someone objected to such a good thing?

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Abramovich?

"Now, each club arranges the schedule and gives autonomy. Everyone can choose the warm-up opponents to prepare for the game according to their own situation."

"However, if we cooperate with Miracle Media, our income may not increase, but we must accept the arrangements of outsiders, and they may not consider our team. So I think that if we want to play overseas warm-up matches, we can prepare and organize them ourselves, and there is no need to cooperate with Miracle Media."

Abramovich analyzed that there is still some truth.

Many people present were nodding.

But soon, Tottenham's Daniel Levi also stood up and shook his head and said, "Roman's words are a bit taken for granted."

"I'm going to take it for granted?" Abramovich was upset.

"Yes, you're right. We have planned overseas Premier League warm-up matches and preseason matches in the past, but the effect can only be said to be average, but maybe you don't know that our events at that time were also cooperated with companies like Miracle Media, but far less powerful. Otherwise, how could we do it with the Premier League alone?"

Many people who knew the inside story immediately nodded.

"I have learned about Miracle Media. They have experience in organizing events in North America, Asia and the Middle East. I believe everyone knows the success of the International Champions League, so I believe in their operational capabilities."

"As for transplanting the cup finals overseas, there has been such a precedent in the Serie A, and the response is also very enthusiastic. I think we can give it a try, and even in the visible future, we can even consider to arrange some important strong dialogue sessions overseas."

"Of course, we need a more professional company to be responsible for how to operate it, but what I want to say is that there is no need to say more about the importance of overseas markets. How to further develop overseas markets will be the key to our future development!"

When it comes to professionalism in the business field, even if he gives Abramovich ten horses, he can't catch up with Daniel Levi.

So, the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur just finished speaking and immediately received support from teams such as Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City, and even many mid- and lower-level teams have spoken out.

Although their income has increased now, an overseas warm-up match earns 1 or 2 million pounds, which is a lot for them.

More importantly, actively develop overseas markets. If you can sign a few more sponsorship contracts, you will make a lot of money.

Finally, in this conference room, except Abramovich, everyone else believed that they should cooperate with Miracle Media.

This immediately put Chelsea and Abramovich in a dilemma of being alone.

"Okay, I know everyone's opinions!"

Skudmore called for a stop to the discussion.

As the CEO of the Premier League, he has to control the atmosphere to prevent everyone from falling apart in an unhappy manner.

"How to cooperate specifically, we will continue to talk to Miracle Media on behalf of the Premier League and strive to launch this plan next summer. If the FA agrees, we can try this season's League Cup and FA Cup finals."

"Of course, we have always paid attention to the principle of voluntaryism. If there is a team that doesn't want to join this program, it's perfectly OK!"

After saying this, Scudmore immediately turned to the next topic.

And Abramovich also sat down indignantly.

He found that he was talking on this round table and was getting less and less weight.
