When it comes to the management of Premier League clubs, there is one team that cannot be left unmentioned.

What the? Manchester United?

Wrong, it's Everton!

A very interesting phenomenon is that fans who are familiar with the Premier League immediately think of David Moyes when they mention Everton.

They will give Everton all the success they have achieved over the past few years to the Scotsman.

As everyone knows, in Moyes' first season in charge of Everton, although he successfully brought the Toffees to the seventh place in the league, in the second season, Everton's ranking fell sharply to the seventeenth in the league, and they were almost relegated.

In 2004, new owner Bill Kenwright took over the Toffees.

The first deal he made after entering Everton was to sell Rooney, and use the money from the sale of Rooney to strengthen the team.

That season, Everton achieved the club's best result since the Premier League, fourth in the league, and reached the Champions League, and Moyes became one of the Premier League's most famous dark horses.

However, in the 05-06 season, Everton's positioning was inaccurate, and the results were greatly affected, and they fell again, ranking 11th.

It was from that season that Bill Kenwright adjusted Everton's positioning, completely abandoning his ambitions in Europe and concentrating on maintaining a top and middle table in the Premier League.

In '08, Bill Kenwright began to be on the City of London's Kesh Harris client list.

He wants to peddle Everton!

The reason is simple, he has seen the mode and gameplay of the professional league today!

From Florentino's arrival in Real Madrid to Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea, the entire European professional football has undergone earth-shaking changes, and capital has dominated professional football.

For Everton, who was already in debt long before Bill Kenwright took over, and even had to mortgage Rooney to the bank in exchange for a loan to survive, Bill Kenwright couldn't play at all without strong capital as a backing.

So, after the setbacks of the '5-06 season, Bill Kenwright immediately reoriented the team's business.

Since then, Everton's worst result has been eighth in the league and their best result has been fifth.

But more importantly, since 2012, Everton, which has been losing money every year, has made small profits.

This means that Bill Kenwright has found a way to survive as a small team!

So, what does Ken Wright do?

Quite simply, in the case of ensuring the competitiveness of the team, with as little investment as possible, the transfer tends to be high-quality and practical reinforcements at a low price, or find a big team to loan players, and strictly control the team's salary and operating costs.

As we all know, Premier League broadcasting rights are rising every year, as long as your salary structure and operating costs do not increase, then you are not far from making a profit.

For the foreseeable next few years, Bill Kenwright's most pragmatic course of action is to keep the momentum going, making a profit, cutting the team's debt, and finding a way to raise money and resources to build a new stadium.

When Everton's new stadium is completed and the team's finances are healthy, Everton will be relaxed.

However, I am afraid that by that time, Bill Kenwright will no longer have the ambition to give it a go.

After all, for Everton, gambling is very enjoyable, but if you lose the bet, it is likely to be bankrupt!

For Everton, who are in a disadvantageous position in objective conditions such as cities and fans, perhaps the most pragmatic self-positioning is the way it is now, as long as they continue to firmly lock in the middle and upper reaches, then they will be considered successful!

……

Hearing Yang Huan introduce in detail the business models of midstream teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Aston Villa, Prime Minister Hamad and others all seemed surprised and convinced.

He was surprised that running a football club still had such a deep knowledge.

What I admire is Yang Huan's familiarity and understanding of professional football, as well as this heart-to-heart introduction.

"Young Master Huan, then you say what you say, what do you think, how should we play?" Prime Minister Hamad asked concerningly.

Yang Huan smiled when he heard this, and he felt as if he had robbed Kesh Harris of his business.

"Then you have to see, how you position yourself, what do you want, what can you give, and what are you?"

Prime Minister Hamad and Minister of Sports, you look at me, I look at you, and after looking at each other, they nodded in unison.

"We want to be able to use the Premier League teams as a platform to promote the image of our country, and preferably to be the focus of the global public!"

Yang Huan knows it in his heart, to put it bluntly, it is the same as the Abu Dhabi consortium buying Manchester City.

With the Qatari consortium's approach at Paris Saint-Germain, if it really buys a Premier League team, I am afraid it will definitely burn money.

"I can't say exactly how to do it for the time being, but I can be very sure of ......."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan paused deliberately, and only then did he continue when Prime Minister Hamad and others looked at him inquiringly.

“…… In any case, it is necessary to establish a set of effective operating mechanisms in the shortest possible time, and try to control the team's financial and salary structure within a reasonable and safe range. ”

Southampton's finances have been kept within reasonable limits, and although they are indebted, they are not risky.

Prime Minister Hamad nodded in quick succession and glanced at the Sports Secretary, who immediately understood.

"Young Master Huan!" The Sports Secretary looked at Yang Huan and smiled slightly, "We all know that Southampton has been the most popular and successful team in the Premier League in the past three years, especially in the past season, reversing Manchester United and winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League as a promoted horse. ”

When Yang Huan heard this, he knew in his heart that this drama was coming.

"To be honest, we are very interested in Southampton, but we also know that Young Master Huan has invested a lot of effort and energy in this team, so we hope to be able to cooperate with you, Young Master Huan."

"Oh?" This was a bit unexpected by Yang Huan.

It turned out that I wanted to cooperate, not to acquire.

"We are willing to spend 300 million pounds to hold 30% of Southampton's shares in the form of shares, and at that time, Master Huan, you are still the majority shareholder of Southampton, and we also promise that we will not interfere in the operation of the team."

£300 million?

Yang Huan was really a little surprised.

No wonder the Hamad kid just now said that the offer must satisfy him, and that's what he said!

I have to admit that the offer is really tempting.

300 million pounds hold 30 per cent, which means they estimate Southampton's market capitalisation at around £1 billion.

Is it high?

It's quite high, if you count it purely as a football club!

But Southampton is just a football team now?

If so, what is the huge construction work of the new stadium?

What about the Staupwood training base?

What is the real estate project to be built on the original site of St. Mary's Stadium?

Therefore, the valuation of about one billion can only be regarded as reasonable for Southampton.

Even, Yang Huan had a hunch that the other party's psychological price was definitely not this!

Sure enough, seeing that Yang Huan was silent, Prime Minister Hamad thought that Yang Huan was not interested, and immediately glanced at the Minister of Sports again, who nodded slightly and spoke again.

"Master Huan, in terms of price, we can talk about it again, we are really very sincere, and we hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you, and we believe that in the future, we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate more and more comprehensively."

Qatar lacks everything, except for money!

Yang Huan has no doubt about the sincerity of Qatar's side.

Because there are many, many things in this world, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, and you may not be able to participate in it.

To put it mildly, without Yang Huan, Hamad would have been able to have a relationship with Prince William and others?

Without Yang Huan, Hamad would be able to get a piece of the Southampton old city redevelopment plan?

If there is no Young Master Huan, he Hamad may not even be able to touch the door of high society!

So, Qatar now wants to use the money to pave the way.

Prime Minister Hamad always sat aside, although he did not take the initiative to speak because of his identity, but he kept an eye on Yang Huan.

But he found that for this young man from China, he really couldn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

Young Master Huan always had a faint smile on his face, making it unclear what he was thinking.

But it is obvious that the conditions offered by his side are not enough to impress him at all!

Just when Prime Minister Hamad looked at the Minister of Sports again and signaled to increase the offer, Yang Huan smiled and spoke.

"Prime Minister Hamad, to be honest, I'm also very interested in working with you, but I'm really sorry about your stake in Southampton."

These words could not help but make Prime Minister Hamad and others gloomy.

It's really uncomfortable to be rejected in person.

Although, they have long been mentally prepared for this.

Hamad had told his father before that Yang Huan had invested so much effort and energy in Southampton, how could he sell his team for money?

But Prime Minister Hamad felt that he should still fight for it.

Because he doesn't believe that there are still people in this world who can't get along with money.

In his opinion, one of the fundamental reasons why he couldn't convince Yang Huan was that his offer was not high enough.

So, he decided to raise the offer again.

"Young Master Huan, if it's because of the price, I believe ......"

But before he finished speaking, Yang Huan waved his hand and shook his head.

"Prime Minister Hamad, I have to make it clear that no matter how high the price you pay and how generous the terms are, I will not be able to sell Southampton, even if it is only a part of the ownership, this is impossible!"

Yang Huan's sentence is very categorical and non-negotiable.

"As you said, I've put a lot of effort and energy into this team, and it's taken me three years to bring Southampton to where it is today, and I dare say that no other team can build another Southampton team with more money!"

Just kidding, Yang Huan is full of a lot of irreproducible accidental factors in the process of building Southampton, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to have that store after that village, if it is not as a traverser, who can grasp it?

Now, I've finally brought Southampton out, and you want to come and shear sheep?

Is this possible?

Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

Prime Minister Hamad and the Minister of Sports glanced at each other, and they both immediately saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Obviously, they can all hear that Yang Huan's attitude is very resolute, and there is no room for them to turn around at all, and there is even a big one, if they continue to be entangled on this issue, then this meeting is likely to break up unhappily.

But just when Prime Minister Hamad and others were full of disappointment, thinking that this matter was going to be stopped, Yang Huan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and had a brilliant idea. r1148
