After Scudmore announced the start of voting, the atmosphere in the chamber became very tense. Even Yang Huan, who looked like an old god, was sitting there with his hands intertwined and scanning everyone in front of the round table easily and freely, but in fact, he was quite nervous in his heart. This is a war without gunpowder. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? we shall rely on the strength of all parties to fight against each other, this war tests the comprehensive strength of a team more. It¡¯s not just good grades, speaking loudly, and making a lot of money that make you useful, you also have to rely on connections, relationships, and diplomacy. Southampton has done a lot of work before, reaching interest alliances with upstarts like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and basically reaching an agreement with teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. It can be said that among the mid-to-upper-tier teams, there are basically no opponents to this reform. Although Yang Huan only said a few words to Abramovich, he could tell that if the Russians did not want to struggle with money, he would agree. As for the mid- and lower-tier teams, the reform will certainly weaken some of their profits, but in general, the new contract will still bring them considerable revenue growth. Coupled with the overall development momentum of the Premier League, as long as they operate properly , it is completely possible to form a lineup close to teams at the level of Naples, Roma, Valencia, Dortmund, and Schalke. Therefore, Yang Huan is absolutely right. The current problem in the Premier League is not that the weak teams are too weak. The bottleneck that really limits the further development of the Premier League is that strong teams are not strong! After Scudmore announced the start of voting, Ron Gurley immediately raised his hand at the instruction of Yang Huan. Also raising their hands were Tottenham Hotspur¡¯s Daniel Levy, Manchester United¡¯s Ed Woodward, Arsenal¡¯s Gazidis, Liverpool¡¯s Ian Ayre, Manchester City¡¯s Mubarak, Fulton owner Bill Kenright. It is not surprising that these seven clubs raised their hands immediately, because they are the beneficiaries of this reform. ¡°But it¡¯s useless to only have seven clubs supporting it. But didn¡¯t anyone vote? After a slight hesitation, representatives from Swansea, Stoke City, West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion also raised their hands, and the number of supported teams suddenly increased to eleven. Soon, newly promoted Watford also raised their hands. Yang Huan glanced at the representative of Watford, Gino Pozzo, who was sitting not far away. The latter happened to look over, and Yang Huan nodded and smiled as a thank you. The Pozzo family now owns many teams including Udinese, Watford and Granada, and Yang Huan also has a good cooperative relationship with them, so he previously considered loaning the Saints youth training to Watford. . ??Even sold to them at a low price this summer. Do you really think Yang Huan is a fool? "In the final analysis, those youth training players are only semi-finished products. If they stay in the Southampton team, they may not be able to play well. It is better to go to Watford to practice and level up. If they are really good, Southampton can buy them back if necessary. The Pozuo family has a different positioning from Yang Huan. Their purpose is to obtain maximum benefits with minimum investment. Therefore, their teams are destined to take the mid-range route. Whether it is Granada in La Liga or Watford in the Premier League, they are all positioned in the middle. ??And Southampton, Inter Milan, Hamburg and Atletico Madrid are all positioned in the upper reaches, and even compete for the championship. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest between Yang Huan and the Pozzo family. On the contrary, they have considerable potential for cooperation. Of course, just because of this level of cooperation, the Pozzo family will not give up the benefits they have obtained. ¡°In the final analysis, Gino Pozzo will raise his hand in agreement because he supports Yang Huan¡¯s point of view. Richard Scudmore stood on the stage. When he saw Gino Pozzo raising his hand, he immediately nodded and shouted, "OK, Mr. Pozzo supports it. Now there are twelve votes in total." After Yang Huan listened, He couldn't help but look at Chelsea, who was sitting opposite him. Abramovich seemed to have been staring at him. When he noticed that Yang Huan looked over, he smiled slightly, as if to say, beg me, I will surrender if you beg me. Yes vote. When Yang Huan saw the Russian's appearance, he almost fainted. Nimi, do you think you can intimidate me, your young master Huan, in this way? Thinking about it, Yang Huan spread his hands and made a face, as if to say, I don't care, if you have the ability, don't invest! If you don¡¯t vote, you won¡¯t vote. Who is afraid of whom? Abramovich stared rudely. ¡°??Is anyone there? Scudmore glanced at the audience and reminded. It seems that if no one votes, he will start the results. There are twenty teams now, twelve votes in favor, and no one abstains. In other words, the reform proposal was not passed. Abramovich looked at Yang Huan again, but found that Master Huan was not looking at him at all. He felt depressed. Could you please let me refresh my sense of presence? "Boss, what should I do? "Granovsky asked with concern. "If we look at this season, such a reform will have no benefit to Chelsea, only disadvantages. But the problem is, Chelsea can't always sink in the middle and lower reaches, right? It will always reach the front row. It can be said that any ambitious team will not refuse such reforms. Abramovich took another deep look at Yang. Huan, he was still ignored, and he felt really depressed. But in the end, his reason prevailed, so he simply closed his eyes and faced Granovs. Kia nodded. When Granovsky saw it, he immediately raised his hands, as if he was afraid that Scudmore would not see it, and shouted, "We at Chelsea also support it!" " Abramovich slapped his forehead hard on the side, Nimi, please don't get so frustrated, okay? "Okay, Chelsea also supports it, thirteen votes! "Everyone in the audience almost held their breath. It has only been a few seconds. Is anyone still raising their hands? Is there anyone else? Yang Huan was also moved by the atmosphere of the scene and walked around. But it's reasonable. When Chad Scudmore was about to announce the result, he saw the representative of the Leicester City team, the son of the owner Vicha Lacriscothorne, also raised his hand high. For a moment, everyone in the audience was a little surprised. Does the Leicester City team also want to support? Yang Huan couldn't help but take a deep look at the old Vicha sitting next to the young Vicha. This Thai is not simple. Little Vica is the vice chairman of the Leicester City team, a bit like Hamad, the idle boss. The real decision-maker is his father who does not live in the UK on weekdays. He shouted out after being promoted to the Premier League. A wealthy man who wants to invest 180 million pounds and just get on a helicopter and leave the stadium when he loses seems really ambitious. ¡°Let the scouting team pay more attention to Leicester City. Team intelligence, this team needs to pay more attention! " If Yang Huan remembers correctly, Leicester City changed coaches this summer. The new coach is Tinker Ranieli, a veteran of team integration. This team should not perform too well in the new season. Bad. Ron Gurley nodded immediately, ¡°Understood! " "Okay, fourteen votes! Scudmore also sounded a little excited. In other words, the vote does not need to continue, the reform plan was passed. Perhaps other clubs were already shaken by Yang Huan's words, and now they saw Leicester City also raising their hands. Anyway, fourteen votes were collected, so they all raised their hands as a courtesy. In the end, even Michael Ashley raised his hands. That is to say, twenty votes, all passed. ! " Yang Huan was half-lying on the soft office chair, but his hands under the round table were clenched into fists. The reform plan was finally passed! Obviously, everyone present is not an idiot. They all know that this is a A small and big opportunity. Next, the Premier League must speed up its overseas development and further develop overseas markets. Only in this way can it develop the Premier League into the top league in European football. It should be said that it starts with the Bosman Act. After implementation, European football will inevitably enter integration. But since it is integration, it is inevitable that there will be hierarchical divisions. For example, the G14 organizations built by teams such as Manchester United and Real Madrid are the stand. The teams at the top of the European football pyramid are big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps. This group of wealthy teams are the hunters at the top of the food chain. However, with the decline of second-tier league teams such as Ajax and Porto. , with the influx of capital, the forces of European football are being reorganized. In the past few years, this sign has become more and more clear, that is, like Real Madrid and Barcelona.Teams such as Ronaldo and Bayern Munich are already above other teams, and even have almost the power to take and take away players from other teams. In the eyes of these teams, money is not important at all, what is important is talent. ¡°Other teams seem to have completely become star processing factories for these teams. However, with the influx of capital, teams such as Manchester City, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged in recent years, and have gradually begun to compete with teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. We have the financial resources to compete with them for talents and resources, and we have the qualifications to challenge them. But everyone knows that relying on this group of rich bosses and local fans at the stadium is not a long-term solution. Therefore, if the Premier League teams do not want to continue to be stepped on by teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich and fall prey to this group of hunters at the top of the food chain, they can only actively develop overseas markets and strengthen themselves. Only with its huge overseas market can the Premier League have the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. At the same time, the Premier League needs a flag, or even multiple flags, to reach the top of the food chain and challenge other European giants. Just imagine, if the top teams in the Premier League are capable of competing with the likes of Real Madrid, the mid-tier teams in the Premier League are at the level of the upper-tier teams in other leagues, and the lower-tier teams are on par with the mid-tier teams in other leagues. , then the Premier League will successfully trample other leagues under its feet. By that time, the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, these leagues will be the most ideal star training bases for the Premier League. As for the Premier League, it will have the opportunity to gather the best stars in the world and make money all over the world. Therefore, this group of big bosses in the Premier League will support the reform. This is a big opportunity for all teams. If it succeeds, the Premier League will become the most successful and valuable sports event in the world, and the team in their hands will become worth a hundred times. ?This is also a big positive sign for teams that are also ambitious. That is, the time has come for the Premier League to redistribute its forces. Whoever rushes forward will be the king. This is also an opportunity for Southampton. An opportunity that Yang Huan has been eagerly longing for! Seize it, and the Saints will rise to the top of European football from now on! Of course, the challenges are not small. It is completely foreseeable that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and even Liverpool should start gearing up and preparing for a big fight. Yang Huan is really a little excited about this. It¡¯s time for European football to see the amazing purchasing power of the Premier League after waiting for so long!
