Chapter 906: No Kidding!
'Given that the Premier League teams have not done well enough in Europe in recent years, a lot of people have reacted that a big reason is that the Premier League teams have to play too many games, which leads to too much player consumption.
David Bernstein stood on the main podium and spoke.
Many people below listened to it and couldn't help but smile, is this a sign to reduce the pressure of Premier League teams?
The best thing is to respond to public opinion, cut a cup competition, or introduce a winter break.
Yang Huan glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, this group of guys is really enough.
Is the FA so stupid?
You know, the Premier League basically doesn't have anything to do with the FA, and even if they want to share the money, it depends on the Premier League.
The FA's biggest power now is to oversee the Premier League and veto major decisions.
That's why David Bernstein dared to advocate for labor certification reform.
Basically, it can be said that as long as the Premier League does not spray, as long as this matter is proposed by the FA and approved by the Home Office, there will be nothing else to do.
When everyone was overjoyed, David Bernstein poured a basin of cold water on all of them with a word.
And it's cold to the bone!
"In view of this, we are considering continuing the reform policy of the mid-90s after consultation, continuing to adjust the Premier League, further reducing the existing 20 Premier League teams to 18 to reduce the competitive pressure on the teams."
In a word, the audience was stunned!
Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the gray-haired old man in the main podium in disbelief, as if asking, hey, old guy, did you forget to take your medicine? You're not sick, are you?
After a few seconds of silence, everyone in the audience went crazy in protest.
"How is this possible? Cutting back on teams in the Premier League? β
"Are you kidding? Why did the FA cut the number of teams in the Premier League? β
"Yes, this is an internal matter of our Premier League, you don't have to meddle!"
"Is there something wrong with you, for no reason, why are you cutting the quota?"
The whole conference room suddenly exploded, and everyone's reaction was even stronger than just now, and some people even slapped the table, blew their beards and glared, and rushed up to kick David Bernstein off the stage.
However, the old man was standing there with the old god, and nodded for a long time: "At present, we are still considering, we have two starting points, one is that the European results are really not ideal, and the fans react greatly, and the other is that the national team's results are indeed deeply affected, so we ......"
Everyone below suddenly stopped.
"So a fart, your national team is not doing well, that's your family's business, it's our business!"
"It's just that the results in Europe are not ideal, the fans complain, and we don't want to!"
"Do you think that if you cut down on the teams, you will get better results in Europe?"
"You're naΓ―ve, aren't you? La Liga is also twenty teams, how come people are not affected? β
"If you really feel that the team is under pressure, then remove one of the cup competitions first!"
"That's right, withdraw the cup!"
"We're going to go on a cup game!"
"Okay, I support, boycott!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the emotions were surging, and Hamad on the side was completely confused.
What's going on?
What the hell are these guys doing in such a hurry?
Isn't it just a cut of two places?
Anyway, we Tottenham Hotspur are not affected......
Thinking of this, Hamad suddenly remembered what Young Master Huan said just now, how did he know that today's events have nothing to do with us, can he ......
Looking at Young Master Huan again, the latter grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and a strong smile.
I knew that Young Master Huan's hands and eyes were all over the sky, but I didn't expect it to come to this point.
No wonder David Bernstein's old boy mixed up with Young Master Huan when he had something to do, these two people must have a relationship.
But with a slander in his heart, Hamad still had to bow his head and lean over, "Young Master Huan, do you really want to cut the teams participating in the Premier League?" β
The reduction of two participating teams, from the original 20 to 18, and the change from 38 to 34 rounds per season, is easy to say, but do you know how big the impact is?
Not to mention the two places that were eliminated from the competition, which will inevitably seriously affect the relegation of Premier League teams and the promotion of Championship teams, how many teams will suffer?
Also, after the loss of two teams, the number of Premier League games each season has been reduced from the original 380 to 306, which is a loss of nearly 20%.
If so, well, how much do you have to lose in broadcast fees?
At that time, how much will the benefits that each team can share will be affected?
In other words, if there are fewer sessions, what will happen to the sponsors?
These are all things that affect the whole body, and how can the FA casually say that the quota will be reduced? Do you really think the Premier League is run by their family?
David Bernstein is not stupid, he clearly knows that there is no way that the Premier League team will allow him to cut the number of places, because the impact on the Premier League is so big that almost all teams will oppose it.
Of course, relatively speaking, for Southampton, Manchester United and other giants, the impact will be smaller.
But overall, the impact is incalculable.
The reason why it was able to be reduced from 22 to 20 20 years ago was because the Premier League was in its infancy at that time, and the value was not obvious, and the 22 teams playing the league at that time were indeed too stressful.
But now it's different, the twenty participating teams have become a rule, and then cut?
No kidding!
Therefore, he is making a price all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground.
A condition that is unlikely to be acceptable to any team in the Premier League in exchange for a reform of their labour certification.
It's called an exchange of interests!
In the future, if anyone says that the FA is a bunch of pus, Yang Huan promises not to kill him!
Who said this bunch of guys is?
What's more, all of them are as shrewd as ghosts, and they calculate every minute that you don't want it.
In fact, everyone present was a smart person, and at first they were angry and surprised, but soon they came back and realized David Bernstein's intentions.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!
If Yang Huan didn't guess wrong, would there be a result today, in the name of going home to consider, in fact, he wanted to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.
It won't be long before the FA's labour certification reform plan is passed.
As for the proposal to reduce the number of teams participating in the Premier League, it will never be mentioned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the end, the meeting was as Young Master Huan expected, and at the end, everyone went back and thought about it, and it was over.
Yang Huan stood up with a yawn, and after saying hello, he was about to leave.
Hamad was full of doubts and hurried to follow.
But when I walked out of the gate, I saw Manchester City's Mubarak, Manchester United's Ed Woodward, Liverpool's Ian Ayr, and Arsenal's Ivan Gazidis all chasing after him.
"Young Master Huan, do you have time, let's go have a cup of afternoon tea?"
"Yes, Young Master Huan, let's go together!"
Several people surrounded him, and the posture seemed to be bad if Yang Huan didn't agree.
"Okay, but ......"
Yang Huan glanced at the people in the conference room, and the others immediately understood.
"Let's go to the undersea hotel in Southampton!" Mubarak proposed.
An hour later, in one of the luxurious boxes of the afternoon tea restaurant of the undersea hotel, several people who had just returned from a meeting in London sat in a circle, while the hotel waiters were busy delivering afternoon tea and pastries ordered by Yang Huan.
When the waiters were all busy and quit, Yang Huan didn't forget to explain, don't let people disturb him without his permission.
After seeing the waiter close the door and exit, Yang Huan glanced at everyone again and smiled slightly, "Come, everyone, try the afternoon tea here in my catalpa, you can't eat it anywhere else." β
But among all of you here, apart from the heartless Hamad, who still has this mood?
"Young Master Huan, did you already know about this time?" Ed Woodward asked.
Everyone was obviously so confused, because from beginning to end just now, Young Master Huan didn't say a word.
It's completely different from what he usually does.
It stands to reason that for such a big thing, how could he not give it at all?
The only plausible explanation was that he already knew.
Yang Huan didn't think about hiding it, and nodded, "I know a little, but I don't know too much." β
Everyone immediately understood that this was reasonable.
"Young Master Huan, what do you mean?" Mubarak asked with concern.
Yang Huan glanced at everyone, "I can see that whether it is the FA, the British government, or even the British fans, they are very dissatisfied with the team's European results in recent years, as well as the slump of the England national team. β
This dissatisfaction has been around for a long time, and it is not sudden.
Even when the former Premier League teams swept the Europa League, they were also unhappy with their national team results.
It's just that there was more or less comfort at that time, unlike now.
"So this time, they're not trying to cut down on the number of teams participating in the Premier League, but they're going to reform the labor certification and boost the local academy!"
As soon as Yang Huan said this, everyone present immediately understood.
They had already guessed it, but they just didn't confirm it.
Judging from the fact that Young Master Huan was able to know these news early, when he said this, he basically didn't leave ten.
If you really want to reform the local youth training, for the few teams present, the impact is not very big, which is also the easiest for them to accept.
As for the other mid-to-lower teams, between cutting the Premier League quota and reforming the labor certification, everyone knows how to choose.
"Well, we have no opinion on this matter!"
"So do we, Arsenal!"
"Liverpool is the same?!"
"We don't have a problem either."
"We, Tottenham Hotspur, follow Master Huan!"
Everyone made a statement, and the matter was settled.
Yang Huan suddenly smiled, "After you go back, you can let the head coaches spray to their heart's content!" β
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.
The blow is a signal to the FA that the more scolding you have, the more the club will regress in this area.
After a burst of laughter, everyone fell silent again.
"Young Master Huan, I don't know if you can ask about something?" Ed Woodward asked with concern.
"Just ask." Yang Huan chuckled.
"I heard that Bielsa is leaving the Saints?"
This question also suddenly made the faces of everyone present become solemn.
Arsenal's Gazidis in particular and Liverpool's Ian Ayr are both of the most concerning.
You know, the Saints are the current optimus prime of the Premier League team in Europe, if the Saints fall, the Premier League will be over.
Once the Premier League is overtaken by the Bundesliga and Serie A in European competition, there will be three Champions League places left.
So what will happen then?
The biggest influencers are Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
So, can they not care?
