My ancestors said, "Don't worry about lack of worries but unevenness."

In many people's understanding, this means that you are not afraid of having fewer divisions, but you are afraid of having uneven divisions.

But is this true?

Obviously not!

The real answer is that you are not afraid of having fewer points, but you are afraid of having unfair points.

But the problem is that the word fairness is difficult to explain clearly, and everyone has their own understanding.

Michael Ashley’s understanding of so-called fairness is that a piece of cake should be divided equally by all involved, otherwise it would be unfair to me.

So, after Richard Scudmore explained the reform plan, he immediately stood up and took the lead in proposing objections.

"Richard, in the overseas market, our 20 Premier League teams are a whole and a signboard, composed of twenty teams. Since this is the case, the benefits gained should be divided equally by twenty teams. Why should we adjust the distribution model?"

Michael Ashley's speech was immediately recognized by several other teams.

There is no doubt that they all feel that the equal split policy should continue.

"Isn't it? We have made a lot of efforts when it comes to developing overseas markets. We have participated in preseasons and Premier League overseas competitions, so why can't we evenly divide them?"

"Richard, you can't take care of your interests just because your teams are influential overseas and are sought after by broadcasters. If so, who will take care of our interests?"

"Isn't it? The distribution of the Premier League has always been fair. According to this new contract, the gap between the top team and the bottom team in terms of broadcasting fees is about 60 million pounds, but in the current contract, there is only 30 million pounds, which is obviously expanding the gap between the rich and the poor."

"If we continue to lean towards upstream teams in overseas market policies, it will undoubtedly further widen the gap between the rich and the poor. By that time, will the Premier League still be the Premier League? Will it be better to cultivate an oligarchy team like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich?"

"Hmph? Allocation? I want to ask, if there are no mid- and lower-level teams, can their powerful teams still be able to support the Premier League as they are now?"

Some of the opposition voices were more rational, some were more extreme, and some even cursed directly.

Richard Scudmore was also in a difficult situation when he stood on the stage.

"I object!" At this time, Arsenal CEO Gazidis stood up.

"There is no doubt that we should properly control the gap between the rich and the poor, avoid the emergence of oligarchs like La Liga and Bundesliga, and shorten the gap in strength between the top team and the downstream team. But the problem is that this should not be an absolute average!"

Gazidis looked at Michael Ashley, the Magpie's boss is definitely the least likable one among the Premier League bosses and the biggest thorn in his mouth.

Arsenal has a very good market overseas, and reform is definitely a great help to them.

"I would like to ask Mr. Ashley, you are right. In the overseas market, the Premier League is a signboard of twenty teams, but what I want to ask is that in the process of developing overseas markets, teams like Saints, Arsenal and Manchester United have made greater contributions and invested more? Or are you Newcastle?"

No matter how confident Michael Ashley is, he will not dare to deny this issue.

Newcastle is a bit more awesome in the UK, and when they arrive at the overseas market, they basically finish playing.

"I believe that the answer is no longer necessary!" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gazidis gave the result himself.

"In order to develop overseas markets, our teams went overseas to play warm-up matches..."

Michael Ashley suddenly interrupted at this time and said sinisterly, "Who doesn't know that you have money to get when playing warm-up matches? Miracle Media gives you so much money every season and attracts so much sponsorship to help the Premier League develop overseas markets. This is probably the result of your easy-to-hand deal?"

There was a chuckle in the conference hall.

Gazidis took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, you're right, where's the star?"

"We introduced Higuain, Ozil, and other strong teams, and introduced stars with market appeal and influence overseas, and have a much heavier salary burden than mid- and lower-stream teams. Do you also say that this is not helpful to the overseas market?"

Michael Ashley was in a little trouble at this moment.

But this guy is also a rustic guy. When his mind turns around, he immediately laughs again.

"You are introducing stars to improve your competitiveness, to strive for better rankings, to get more income and share. And think about it again, how much overseas sponsorship you have received, are you at a disadvantage?"

As soon as Michael Ashley finished speaking, someone immediately started to sarcastically.

"Haha, that's right, don't introduce stars if you have the ability. Let's play to the same level and see who can beat who!"

"That's right, you are going to introduce the stars yourself, who has forced you?"

But soon, Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward also spoke out.

"It's a bit boring for you to say this. If everyone reaches the same level, can the Premier League still develop? Will sponsors and broadcasters still be interested in the Premier League?"

"That is, overseas copyright income should be re-divided. If everyone doesn't want to, then let's break up and sell them together!" Manchester City's Mubarak was also angry.

Are these guys just cheating?

What does it mean that you should not attract stars if you have the ability?

Isn’t this a good person even if you get a cheap one?

"If you sell each one, you will sell each other. Who is afraid of who?"

"Yes, I have the ability, and even the local copyrights have been sold!"

"Yes, I'll just give all the Premier League, everyone will pass their own lives!"

Not to mention, Michael Ashley is really cheating.

"Michael, do you think everyone is alone, who is afraid of whom?"

"That's right, it's really apart, don't cry!"

"Who is crying? Just divide it if you have the ability!"

"Everyone has something to say, don't hurt the harmony..."

"You fuck you sit down for me, a new team, you are not qualified to speak!"

"Hey, who do you think you are? What's wrong with the promotion team? Didn't you just say that you should treat it equally? Why did you discriminate against the promotion team after turning around?"

Seeing the scene in chaos, Richard Scudmore was helpless.

It is obvious that the teams led by Michael Ashley are clearly trying to fight to the death on this issue.

The reason is very simple. For them, reform or not reform is a considerable income gap.

As a housekeeper, Scudmore was really helpless when he saw the bosses quarrel.

No way, I could only look at Yang Huan for help, but found that Master Huan was low-headed, as if he was playing a game.

My God, Master Huan, when is it so hot that you are still playing games?

And the others finally noticed Young Master Huan and immediately looked at him one by one.

Not?

Everyone was having a happy quarrel, but Southampton didn't say a word.

"Master Huan, what do you think of Southampton?"

Yang Huan then raised his head, glanced at the people on the round table, and smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

Richard Scudmore was depressed. This matter was brought up by Master Huan. Now that I have nothing to do, I can do it anyway, so you can come out and clean it up yourself.

"Everyone has a very disagreement on the distribution of overseas copyright income. What do you think of Southampton?"

"I didn't think much!" Yang Huan curled his lips and said with a slight smile.

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this, especially the powerful people.

Shouldn’t Young Master Huan fully support the reform at this time? Why do you say that?

Michael Ashley and others looked gloating.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. We have nothing. We are just playing bachelor with you and you bite me?

"However, I personally think that having rights requires obligations. Since everyone is committed to developing overseas markets, then, if there are any overseas publicity activities and competitions in the Premier League in the future, it must be treated equally. You cannot always let mid- and upper-stream teams go, and give more opportunities to let teams like Newcastle with huge overseas influence go out."

As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

So that's it, so that's it!

Michael Ashley was immediately embarrassed and gritted his teeth in anger.

But the clubs that originally supported him are now feeling depressed.

If they were asked to go overseas to promote activities and competitions, who would you win?

The giant teams have gone out, with sponsorship, commercial income, and ticket income, at least they won’t lose money.

But if it is a mid- and lower-stream team going out, it is hard to say.

"Also, I personally think that since we should treat everyone equally, then the Premier League should cancel the subsidy policies for youth training and infrastructure from now on, and at the same time strictly control and review the infrastructure and youth training systems of existing Premier League teams. All unqualified teams will be disqualified from the Premier League!"

As we all know, in the Premier League, the stadiums, training bases and youth training of giant teams, they are all quite complete.

Ten years ago, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur were both bad, but now, they have all been transformed and they are pretty good.

However, in the Premier League, there are still many teams whose training bases are very broken and old, and many teams have not even perfect minimum youth training systems. Many teams have very poor home facilities, and even the minimum broadcasting facilities are quite behind.

In the past, the Premier League would draw some funds every year to subsidize and invest in these improvements, such as the renovation and renovation of stadium broadcasting facilities.

But if it is cancelled, it means that the club has to invest it themselves.

As for the stadium, training base and youth training system, these have strict and explicitly stipulated terms.

In the past, I could have said that I turned a blind eye, but now, since I want to be egalitarian, I have to treat everyone equally. There is no subsidy for strong teams, and no subsidy for weak teams.

"This is not fair!" Michael Ashley objected on the spot.
