Some people say that English football platoons are very serious.

This is not wrong at all!

If it were a few years earlier, when Terry, Lampard and other players were still young, they would have to help their teammates wash socks and polish their sneakers when they first entered the first team, and they would have to be respectful to the team boss.

For example, this is how Manchester United's Roy Keane taught Cristiano Ronaldo a lesson.

This is true in the team and at the club level.

The tradition of the owners of England's top leagues has been around for a long time, and it almost always meets the tradition of the home team coach inviting the visiting team coach to drink after the game.

But unlike the latter being gradually forgotten and even abandoned early, the boss summit of the top league has been passed down.

The establishment of the Premier League was negotiated at the boss summit.

The layoffs in the Premier League were also handled at this meeting.

Even how to further explore commercial resources, develop overseas markets, and attract more stars, these are all the results of the boss summit.

The Premier League is just the face of the boss summit, and CEO Richard Scudmore is more like a housekeeper and spokesperson hired by twenty Premier League bosses with an annual salary of nearly one million pounds, that's all.

But even in the Premier League boss summit, there is also a scheming of talents.

For example, the three newly promoted teams to the Premier League every year basically have no say.

God knows if they will fall back to the Championship in a season?

Therefore, the boss of the newly promoted team must appropriately play the role of a good baby so that he can integrate into it.

As for those like Southampton, who have just been promoted to the Premier League and have shouted that they will strike and withdraw from the Premier League, looking at the history of the Premier League President's Summit, it is the only one!

In the past, the voice of the Premier League presidential summit was fully controlled by the five teams, all of whom were England's most traditional top five, namely Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leeds United.

But then Leeds United declined and Newcastle gradually replaced it.

But unfortunately, the magpie himself was not successful and soon fell into trouble.

In the past decade, teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have changed hands one after another, and the management has changed a lot, and the voice at the chairman's summit is no longer as important as in the past.

Today's chairman summit is no longer the same as in the past.

But relatively speaking, strong teams still have the greatest influence and once controlled the rules of the Premier League game.

As Manchester City gradually rises, its influence in the Premier League presidential summit continues to increase.

In the past two or three years, the Saints have gone from being a new Premier League player to becoming a new Premier League champion, and now they have become the flag bearer of the Premier League in Europe and even the world. In addition, the two CEOs of the Saints, Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley, are both seniors at the Premier League President's Summit. Therefore, the Saints' voice at the Chairman's Summit is becoming more and more powerful.

More importantly, saints can be human.

For example, John Stones.

The Saints had already signed in the young player, but when they heard that Everton needed it, they directly loaned Stones to Everton.

During Stones' time in Everton, the Saints did not charge even a penny of rental fees. Even when Stones was recalled, the Saints paid Everton a six-figure training fee, and at the same time, they rented two youth training players to Everton for free.

Not only Everton, but other Premier League and Championship teams, and youth training players who want to loan the Saints, although the requirements will be higher and even some conditions will be set, the supporting services provided by the Saints are also quite good.

The reason why Watford, a Premier League team promoted from the Championship this season was that he successfully upgraded from the English Championship was because he loaned three Saints young players. After being promoted to the Premier League this season, Watford proposed a buyout. The Saints did not set up obstacles on the transfer fee, but just added the repurchase clause and released them immediately.

It is precisely because the Saints know how to be a human being, their reputation in English football is increasing day by day.

Now, at the Premier League President Summit, the CEOs of Manchester United and Arsenal are both newcomers, and Southampton has naturally become the team with the greatest voice.

In addition, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool formed the first Premier League team.

This Premier League reform was initiated by Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, supported by Southampton, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and finally won the Premier League presidential summit for discussion and voting.

According to the rules of the Premier League President’s Summit, as long as two-thirds of the members agree, the reform proposal will be passed.

Since the meeting was of great importance, FA Chairman David Bernstein, the CEO of the FA, as well as several other sponsor representatives and industry insiders who are of great importance in England football were invited to attend.

However, they only have the right to listen, no say, and it is even less likely that they have the right to vote.

At the beginning of the meeting, Premier League CEO Richard Scudmore spoke first.

He first introduced the business situation of the Premier League in the past season and his outlook for the next season.

Among them, the most attractive point is that the Premier League will cooperate with Miracle Media to actively carry out the pre-season overseas challenge for the Premier League, with its main goal being mid- and lower-level Premier League teams.

But this obviously made Abramovich feel depressed.

You should know that the Premier League currently has close cooperation with Miracle Media.

Saints, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool all participated in the International Champions League, while Everton and Swansea all participated in the invitational tournament organized by Miracle Media.

Everyone knows that these are the most profitable events.

But as a veteran Premier League team, Chelsea was excluded, which has a lot to do with Chelsea’s wrong bets. Who asked them to support Miracle Media’s arch-rival rs.

The teams that participated in the North American Invitational Tournament held by RS, Chelsea and AC Milan, were unable to cooperate with Miracle Media. They could only watch their competitors make a lot of money again and again, and they were drooling and anxious.

Nowadays, the Premier League is going to launch a preseason. Although there are also appearance fees, they are rarely, and more to promote the Premier League.

Although Chelsea holds the title of First Army, it has to be forced to participate in such a mid- and lower-level team event, and Abramovich is indeed depressed enough.

But having is better than not, right?

Granovskiya once calculated that if he missed the International Champions League, Chelsea lost at least 15 million euros in direct income per season. If it was to include potential income from sponsorship and other aspects, the loss would be even heavier.

So, at this moment, Abramovich had to secretly think in his heart, would he continue to fight with Yang Huan?

After introducing the pre-season, Scudmore focused on the various budgets of this season, and there was no big controversy about these, so they were basically just a swipe.

The real focus was later, Scudmore proposed a reform plan for the Premier League.

This made everyone in the audience care.

After all, this is closely related to the interests of each team.

The entire reform plan is divided into three parts, one is the so-called European War reward system.

Scudmore reminded everyone present that the European game has promoted the Premier League quite obviously.

The European competition is not effective, and the hat of the world's No. 1 league on the Premier League is not glorious.

Therefore, he proposed that the Premier League allocate part of its annual fiscal budget as a reward for European wars and will be distributed according to the performance of each team in the European war.

This article did not suffer much resistance.

The European game has indeed promoted the league, and everyone has a consensus on this.

If the Premier League's European Cup points are insufficient, resulting in the reduction of the number of places participating, which will also cause serious damage to the Premier League brand value. Therefore, it is understandable to appropriately stimulate the desire of European teams to participate.

What's more, the rewards given by Scudmore are indeed quite a lot of them concentrated in the hands of some teams, but they are divided into twenty teams, so there are not many.

As the cake gets bigger and bigger, no one takes this little bit of money very much.

Just like, in the past, I earned 50 million in one season, but now the cake is bigger and I can earn 80 million, but the Premier League says that if you have a smaller score, just 78 million, the rest will be used as rewards for European wars, and stimulate strong teams to earn more European war points, and the league broadcast fee will be higher in the future.

So, most teams agree.

The same situation also occurs on the second issue, that is, the allocation of broadcast sessions.

According to the Premier League's plan, starting from 2016, a new Premier League broadcast contract will increase the number of live broadcasts, from the current 154 games to 168 games.

The fourteen additional games will be arranged according to the broadcaster's plan.

This is not something that can be resisted.

Sky TV and British Telecom are willing to auction the broadcast rights of the Premier League at such a high price, with the purpose of selecting more games that fans like to watch, as well as some game schedules and other supporting matters.

If nothing unexpected happens, these fourteen additional games will basically be strong teams, especially superstars like the Saints who gather in the team.

But so what?

In the Premier League broadcast fee sharing plan, the number of live broadcasts is only 25% of them. Moreover, when the strong dialogue has basically been ordered, the additional live broadcasts must be a match between strong teams and mid- and lower-level teams.

In other words, if Southampton has more than eight live broadcasts, there will definitely be eight mid- and lower-stream teams who will eat the cake.

What's more, the remaining other teams can benefit from the remaining 75% of the broadcast fee.

Just imagine, if there are fourteen more games, the average of more than 10 million pounds per game, that is 150 million pounds.

After allocating, each team can get a lot of money.

Therefore, there are basically no objections to this distribution method of the Premier League.

It can be said that the atmosphere of the meeting has always been pretty good since the beginning.

Whether it is the European war reward system or the increase in broadcasting times, Premier League teams have the same interests as each other, so there is almost no controversy, and everyone raised their hands to support it.

But when the third issue really comes to the plan for overseas copyright allocation adjustment, the problem is huge.

According to the current distribution model of overseas copyrights in the Premier League, twenty teams have evenly distributed broadcast fee income, and each team has long been accustomed to it.

But now, if the distribution model is reformed and distributed according to the local copyright of the Premier League, with the significant increase in overseas copyrights, although the income of each team in the new contract has increased significantly, it is obviously not satisfactory.

Especially the downstream teams in the Premier League.

Almost after Scudmore finished speaking, they took the lead in attacking, believing that the series of reforms in the Premier League violated the principle of fair distribution in the Premier League.
Chapter completed!
