After Skudmore announced the start of voting, the atmosphere in the chamber became tense.

Even Yang Huan, who seemed to be sitting in the position where the old god was there, interlocked his fingers with his hands, and easily swept everyone in front of the round table, but in fact, his heart was quite nervous.

This is a war without gunpowder.

Unlike on the football field, which relies on the strength of all parties to fight, this war is more of a test of a team's comprehensive strength.

It's not just about getting good grades, speaking loudly, and making a lot of money, but also by relying on connections, relationships, and diplomacy.

Southampton have done a lot of work in the past, striking alliances of interest with upstarts like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

It can be said that among the middle and upper teams, there are basically no opponents of this reform.

Although Yang Huan only said a few words to Abramovich, he could see that if the Russians didn't want to get along with money, he would agree.

As for the middle and lower teams, the reform will certainly weaken some of their benefits, but in general, the new contract will still bring them considerable income growth, coupled with the overall development momentum of the Premier League, as long as they run it properly, they can build a squad close to the level of Napoli, Roma, Valencia, Dortmund, Schalke 04.

Therefore, Yang Huan is right, the problem of the Premier League now is not that the weak team is too weak.

The bottleneck that really restricts the further development of the Premier League is that the strong team is not strong!

After Skudmore announced the start of voting, Ron Gurley immediately raised his hand at the behest of Yang Huan.

Also raising their hands were Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy, Manchester United's Ed Woodward, Arsenal's Gazidis, Liverpool's Ian Ayr, Manchester City's Hosni Mubarak, and Everton's Bill Kenwright.

It is not surprising that these seven clubs raised their hands for the first time, because they are the beneficiaries of this reform.

But it's useless to have only seven clubs to support it.

But didn't anyone vote?

After a little hesitation, I saw that the representatives of Swansea, Stoke City, West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion also raised their hands one after another, and the number of teams supported increased to 11 at once.

Soon, promoted Watford also raised their hands.

Yang Huan glanced at the representative of Watford, Gino Pozo, who happened to also look at it, Yang Huan nodded and smiled, which was regarded as thanking.

The Pozzo family now owns a number of teams including Udinese, Watford and Granada, and Yang Huan also has a good relationship with them, so he would have considered loaning the Saints Academy to Watford before.

Even, this summer they were sold at a low price.

Do you really think Yang Huan is a fool?

In the final analysis, those youth players are just half-finished products, staying in the Southampton team, they may not be able to play, it is better to go to Watford to practice, and if they really play, Southampton will buy them back if they need it.

The positioning of the Pozo family is different from that of Yang Huan, their purpose is to obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum investment.

Therefore, their teams are destined to go the middle route.

Whether it is Granada in La Liga or Watford in the Premier League, they are all positioned in the middle of the table.

Southampton, Inter Milan, Hamburg and Atletico Madrid are all positioned in the upper reaches, even competing for the title.

Therefore, there is no conflict of interest between Yang Huan and the Pozo family, on the contrary, they have considerable potential for cooperation.

Of course, just for this layer of cooperation, it will not make the Pozo family give up the interests in hand.

At the end of the day, Gino Pozzo will raise his hand in agreement because he supports Yang Huan's views.

Richard Skudmore stood on the stage, saw Gino Pozzo raise his hand, and immediately nodded and shouted, "OK, Mr. Pozzo supports, now there are a total of twelve votes." ”

After Yang Huan listened, he couldn't help but look at Chelsea sitting opposite him, Abramovich seemed to have been staring at him, and after finding Yang Huan looking over, he smiled slightly, as if to say, you beg me, you beg me, I will vote in favor.

When Yang Huan saw the appearance of the Russians, he almost fainted.

Nimei, do you think that this will be able to threaten you to come to your house, Young Master Huan, and me?

Thinking about it, Yang Huan spread his hands and made a grimace, as if to say, I don't care, don't vote if you have the ability!

If you don't vote, you won't vote, who is afraid of whom?

Abramovich glared unceremoniously.

"Is there anyone else?" Skudmore glanced at the audience and reminded him.

It looks like if no one else votes, he's going to start the results.

Now there are twenty teams, twelve votes in favor, no one abstains, that is, the reform proposal does not pass.

Abramovich looked at Yang Huan again, but found that Young Master Huan didn't look at him at all, and he was depressed in his heart.

Can you let me brush up on my presence?

"Boss, what should I do?" Granovsky asked with concern.

If you look at it this season, such a reform is not good for Chelsea, only bad.

But the question is, Chelsea can't always sink into the middle and lower reaches, right?

It's always going to the front row, and then the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

It can be said that for any team with ambitions, such a reform will not be refused.

Abramovich took a deep look at Yang Huan opposite, but he was still ignored, and he was depressed in his heart.

He really had the urge to vote against it.

But in the end, his sanity prevailed, so he simply closed his eyes and nodded towards Granovskia.

When Granovskia saw it, he immediately raised his hand high, as if he was afraid that Skudmore wouldn't see it, and shouted, "We Chelsea also support it!" ”

Abramovich patted his forehead vigorously on the side, Nimei, don't make it so frustrated, okay?

"Well, Chelsea also support, thirteen votes!"

Everyone in the audience almost held their breath, just a few seconds, will anyone still raise their hand?

Anything else?

Yang Huan was also driven by the atmosphere of the scene and made a round.

But just as Richard Scudmore was about to announce the results, he saw the representative of the Leicester City team, the son of owner Vitsa Rakris Cothorne, and the younger Vicha also raised his hand high.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was a little surprised.

Leicester City also want to support?

Yang Huan couldn't help but take a deep look at the old Vicha sitting next to Xiao Vicha, this Thai is not simple.

Vitsa Jr. is the vice-president of Leicester City, somewhat similar to Hamad, the idle master, and the real decision-maker is his dad, who doesn't usually live in the UK.

This tyrant who was promoted to the Premier League shouted that he would invest 180 million pounds, and if he lost, he would get on a helicopter in the stadium and leave, which seems to be really ambitious.

"Go back and let the scouting team pay more attention to collect information about the Leicester City team, this team needs to pay attention!"

If Yang Huan is not mistaken, the Leicester City team has changed coaches this summer, and the new manager is a tinkerer Lajianli, a veteran of integrating the team, and this team should not perform too badly in the new season.

Ron Gurley immediately nodded, "Understood! ”

"Good, fourteen votes!" There was also a little excitement in Skudmore's tone.

In other words, there is no need to continue the vote, and the reform plan is passed.

Maybe other clubs were already shaken by Yang Huan's words, but at this time, they saw that the Leicester City team also raised their hands, anyway, they had enough fourteen votes, so they also raised their hands one after another, and they were a favor.

In the end, even Michael Ashley raised his hand.

In other words, twenty votes, all passed!

“yes！”

Yang Huan was half lying on the soft office chair, but his hands under the round table were clenched into fists.

The reform plan has finally passed!

Obviously, none of the people present are stupid, and they all know very well that this is a small opportunity.

Next, the Premier League must accelerate the pace of overseas development and further develop overseas markets, only in this way can the Premier League develop into the top league in European football.

It should be said that since the implementation of the Bosman Act, European football has inevitably entered into integration.

But since it is integration, it is inevitable that there will be hierarchical divisions, such as the G14 organization built by teams such as Manchester United and Real Madrid in the past, they are the teams at the top of the European football pyramid.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, this group of giant teams is the hunters at the top of the food chain.

However, with the decline of second-rate league teams such as Ajax and Porto, and with the influx of capital, the power of European football is being redivided.

Over the past few years, the signs have become clearer and more apparent.

That is, teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, etc., have become superior to other teams, and even have almost the power to take and take away the players of other teams.

In the eyes of these teams, money is not important at all, what matters is talent.

It's as if the other teams have become the star processing plants of these teams.

However, with the influx of capital, in recent years, teams such as Manchester City, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain have risen, and they have gradually begun to compete with teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

But everyone knows that relying on this group of local tyrant owners and relying on local fans is never a long-term solution.

Therefore, if Premier League teams do not want to continue to be trampled under the feet of teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and become the prey of this group of hunters at the top of the food chain, they can only actively develop overseas markets and strengthen themselves.

Only backed by a huge overseas market, the Premier League has the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

At the same time, the Premier League needs one, or even multiple, flags to reach the top of the food chain and compete with other European giants.

Imagine if the top teams in the Premier League were able to compete with the likes of Real Madrid, and the mid-table teams in the Premier League were at the level of the upper teams of other leagues, and the lower teams were on par with the mid-table teams of other leagues, then the Premier League would have managed to trample the other leagues under their feet.

At that time, the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, these leagues will be the most ideal training bases for the Premier League.

As for the Premier League, there will be an opportunity to gather the best stars in the world and make money from all over the world.

That's why the big guys in the Premier League will support reform.

This is a great opportunity for all teams, and if successful, the Premier League will become the most successful and valuable sporting event in the world, and their teams will become worth a hundred times more.

It's also a positive sign for teams that are also ambitious.

That is, the time has come for the Premier League to redivide its forces, and whoever rushes up will be the king.

This is also an opportunity for Southampton.

An opportunity that Yang Huan has been desperately craving!

Grasp it, and the Saints will rise to the top of European football from now on!

Of course, the challenges are not small.

It's entirely predictable that Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and even Liverpool should start gearing up for a big fight.

In this regard, Yang Huan was really a little excited.

After holding back for so long, it's time for European football to see the amazing purchasing power of the Premier League!
