80_80813 Skudmoore's remarks are indeed very reasonable.

But being reasonable doesn't mean you can get through.

The reason is simple, for Manchester United and Arsenal, restricting player salaries and restricting agent commissions is equivalent to limiting the path of sky-high recruitment for teams including Manchester City, Chelsea and even Southampton.

It can't be said to be completely severed, but at least there are certain restrictions on how to use it.

But for teams such as Manchester City and Southampton, if they can't improve their own strength through recruitment, how can they compete with Haoqiang? How do you have the opportunity to play on the European stage?

So, there is a truth, but things in the world are often very complicated.

It's as if the Premier League broadcast rights are sold so hot, and all the Premier League teams are making a lot of money, so everyone should be happy, right?

No, in fact, if a reporter asks the owners of the 20 teams present, they will find that at least five or more teams are worried, even unhappy.

Don't be surprised, they're not fools, they're not idiots, and they don't feel unhappy about making a lot of money.

The real reason for their displeasure is that with more money to be made, relegation will become more miserable than ever.

Because the Championship and the Premier League are the difference between heaven and hell, no one wants to be relegated to the Championship.

At that time, the relegation battle in the Premier League will be a brutal war involving tens of millions of pounds, and all teams will do everything they can to get rid of their opponents and keep their Premier League places.

Then, the team that is in danger of relegation will naturally not be happy

The real joy is often the middle and upper reaches of the league rankings, where there is no threat of relegation

Even a big team

So, sometimes, the reason doesn't make sense

In the end, after a heated debate, the two sides could only agree to start negotiating a Premier League version of the Financial Fair Play Policy, the details of which will start after the summit and be discussed by the clubs.

To put it bluntly, this policy still can't stop the club from burning money.

As long as you don't go against the financial fair play policy, the Premier League will burn as little as you like.

For Southampton, it doesn't make much difference.

Yang Huan certainly likes to burn money, but with the current situation in Southampton, it is not a problem how much to burn.

If fiscal fairness policy has some common ground, the next one is a little less popular.

In particular, when Scudmore invited FA chairman David Bernstein to explain the proposed reform of the Academy, which was named the Glorious Revolution, at least half of the team owners present stood up against it.

"Five percent?"

The entire conference room was suddenly fried.

"Mr. Bernstein, you're not kidding, are you? Do you want us to give 5% of Premier League revenue every year to support your youth training reform plan? Are you sure you didn't forget to take your medicine and go out? ”

"It's like, it's just a money grab"

"Do you know how much money we spend every year for no reason?"

"I'll do the math for you, the annual parachute subsidy for Premier League teams that have been relegated in the past two seasons is more than £60 million, and the amount of support for the middle and lower leagues has increased from £11.2 million three years ago to £56.4 million now, which is a fivefold increase."

"Also, we're giving Tony Blair and Keegan's Football Foundation £12 million a year, the Professional Players League £17.3 million a year, and the Opportunity I Create Zào scheme £10.8 million a year."

"There are also professional referee committees, professional coaches associations, youth training systems, and national league grants."

"Now you still want us to pay five percent a year to support the youth training, are you sure?"

The presidents and bosses of the club present were very angry when they heard that they were going to support the youth training, and some even wanted to leave the field in anger.

Seeing this scene, David Bernstein was also a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but immediately look at Yang Huan, with a request in his eyes, as if to say, Master Huan, I can't hold on, you can say a few words

Yang Huan looked at the poor old man and smiled slightly.

"Let me say a few words"

As soon as Young Master Huan spoke, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

Many people looked at him silently, wanting to hear what he said.

After all, the entire Premier League knows that Yang Huan is the most thoughtful Premier League boss, and many times, his ideas are very advanced.

"I'll tell you what I think, but one request is, please don't interrupt me until I'm done, thank you"

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

"First of all, let's determine a premise, youth training must be engaged"

"I'm not going to say a lot of high-sounding things, just to say that I've counted that over the past three seasons, Premier League agents have taken a total of more than £200 million from player transfers from 20 teams, and that money has gone into their pockets and has not returned to the Premier League."

As soon as Yang Huan's words came out, I don't know how many people present opened their eyes wide.

More than 200 million pounds?

Is this the last three seasons?

On average, it's £70 million a season

That's 14 percent of the Premier League's home broadcast rights for a season

"I don't know if you have ever thought about it, why did you reach such an outrageous Cheng dù? It is equivalent to saying that we work hard every year to run the team, develop the market, and even take huge risks, but as a result, most of the profits we earn fall into the pockets of others. ”

"Why is this happening?"

In fact, everyone present knows that the reasons may be complicated, but the poor youth training in England is definitely a very important factor.

If you can't have local players, you have to bring in foreign players

A lot of people say that England players are inflated, and that's right, it's inflated, and it's ridiculously high.

But is it possible that the English team will not be slaughtered if they bring in players from abroad?

But any owner and chairman of a British team knows that a lot of times, they bring in players, more on the recommendation of agents, and some teams don't even have a decent scouting system at all, let alone scouting players everywhere.

It's strange that such a team is not slaughtered

Yang Huan even thought that with the Premier League team's revenue of at least fifty or sixty million pounds a season, the company's operation was so clumsy, it was really unimaginable, and it could even be said to be completely irresponsible

"Player salaries should be properly controlled, agents should also be paid attention to, and the Premier League must find a sustainable path to reduce unnecessary losses and waste, which is one of them"

"We can't be the fool who lets the brokers slaughter us anymore, we don't do their ATMs"

"If we can't effectively improve the level of youth training, then we will continue to be at a disadvantage in the transfer market in the future, we have worked hard to talk about, increase the broadcast fee, and in the end, the agent will say a word, raise the salary, increase the commission, we have to obediently send the money out"

"And it's endless, unlimited, skyrocketing, if you don't believe it, you can look back at the past few years, as soon as the broadcast fee contract was raised, the player's salary and agent commission were immediately raised, like a vampire."

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't stop nodding.

Young Master Huan's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head and hitting the key point of the club owners.

No one is a fool and almost everyone knows that the Premier League cannot continue to go this way, otherwise there will be no consensus on the fiscal policy just now.

But that's the long-term good.

It's just that some people, some teams may choose to sacrifice long-term interests because of short-term interests.

Yang Huan sued them, which is related to the common interests of everyone.

If you can't improve your bargaining chips, you will always be left to the agent as a fat sheep.

Improving the level of youth training is undoubtedly one of the effective means to increase bargaining chips.

"Well, youth training丨 must be carried out, after this general direction is determined, the details will be easier to solve"

"I have read the FA's submission of this youth training reform plan, abolishing the 90-minute youth training 丨 selection range restrictions, the formation of a fifth-level professional league, which is quite a good construction, requiring the club to improve the youth training 丨 software and hardware facilities, I think it is also very necessary, it is helpful for every team."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but smile.

"To put it mildly, we are now holding back the training bases of many teams in the Premier League, and many investors are directly discouraged from seeing it, if you put the training base up, the youth training camp will go up, maybe you will sell the team, and you can sell it at a better price."

Many people present couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

Football clubs are actually like luxury goods, if you buy them, you can't make money, you can't make profits, and even, if you don't lose money, it's pretty good

To really make money, you have to wait until the moment you sell the team.

This one buys and sells, and the investor earns the middle price difference, and that is to make money

"There is another thing that we need to pay attention to, and that is the referee."

Yang Huan walked out of his position directly, and talked eloquently under the gaze of everyone at the scene.

"Our Premier League is like a company, the product is our league, and everyone who sells products knows that you have to pay attention to the packaging, you have to build a good image, but in the past few years, there have been endless stadium violence, and the referee's clumsy and bad misjudgments have seriously damaged the image of the Premier League."

Yang Huan raised the copy of the text in his hand, "I just looked at it, and the annual subsidy we give to the players' union is more than 10 million, but how much is the subsidy we give to the referee?" Two million pounds sterling"

"I think this number is too small, to increase, how much to increase, I think we can talk about it, but I suggest that we should establish a set of strong incentive mechanisms, so that every excellent referee who strictly enforces the law fairly can obtain a higher and more decent income, so that our referee level and law enforcement standards are in line with the European continent."

The referees of the Professional Referees Committee are not only in charge of the Premier League, but also in charge of all professional leagues in England, with a large number of people and uneven levels of enforcement.

In the past few years, Premier League teams have come to the European arena, and the referee enforcement standards are different, which is a very disadvantaged point.

'A lot of teams think that European competition has nothing to do with them, which is a very short-sighted view.

"Fans pay attention to a team, first of all, they must pay attention to their stars, pay attention to a league, first of all, pay attention to the top teams of this league, and the way and way for them to pay attention to and evaluate these top teams is the European arena"

"I would even go so far as to say that the better the big teams do in Europe, the more they will influence the Premier League, the more influence they will have, and at the end of the day you will find that the next broadcast contract will be bigger than the current one"

This is again a virtuous circle relationship.

"So I personally think we should keep the Christmas fixtures and give proper consideration to bringing in a short winter break in January, or staggering some games to give the players more time to rest."

"And I also think that while we pay attention to the development and competition of local players, we should also try to improve our attraction to top superstars, because the joining of superstars can greatly drive the expansion of the league's influence, and then drive the operation of the entire market."

The more Yang Huan spoke, the more he talked, the more he spoke, and even later he couldn't hold it back.

But he himself was nothing, but many people present, even Skudmore and David Bernstein, were frightened by many of his words.

Who would have thought that Young Master Huan was young, but he thought so broadly and so much, compared to these veteran football players, it was even better.

Can it not be surprising?

Young Master Huan is really a blockbuster.
