374 Premier League Owners Summit
Benitez takes over Liverpool!
This is undoubtedly another good news for the Premier League!
After Benitez entered Liverpool, he immediately left England's golden boy Owen for Liverpool, and at the same time introduced Cisse and Xavi? Alonso, Luis? Garcia and many other powerful stars, this transaction has also made Liverpool's strength steadily improved.
All of a sudden, the Premier League seemed to be the focus of football around the world, as it was home to almost all the best players in the world, as well as the best managers in the world.
Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, Jose Mourinho...... These gold-medal coaches who are well-known in Europe gather in the Premier League this season; Beckham, Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Keane, Thierry Henry, Kaka and a host of superstars will all meet in the Premier League.
It can be said that the Premier League in the new season is more in the spotlight than any other league in Europe, and before the season preparation began, when the legend of winning the European Championship came to an end, the Premier League attracted everyone's attention with a shocking transfer.
As has been mentioned in many professional columns, if it were only about the arms race, there would be no doubt that Chelsea would be the better side, followed by Manchester United, but football is never just about stars.
Carlo Ancelotti's ability to combine is undeniable, but it is unclear what his Chelsea side will look like in front of the world, and how his coaching style fits into the Premier League remains to be tested.
However, judging from Abou's heavy investment in Ancelotti, there is no doubt that Chelsea has pinned the biggest chips on Ancelotti to win the championship, but it is undoubtedly unrealistic to ask Ancelotti to win the title in his first season in charge of the Premier League, because his team has just undergone significant personnel changes.
Manchester United's team has also brought in a number of stars, and the Glazer family had promised Ferguson that once Ferguson supported the acquisition, he would receive a high transfer fee after completion, so when the Glazer family bought the shares in the hands of Maunier and others, Ferguson chose to remain silent.
However, Ferguson then received an additional transfer fee, bringing him Quaresma, Diego and Robinho, all of United's most desperately needed stars at the moment, greatly enhancing the quality of Manchester United's midfield.
It can be said that after a summer of recruitment, the strength of Chelsea and Manchester United has improved significantly compared to last season, relatively speaking, the defending champions Red Rebels and Arsenal have made the smallest moves, especially the Red Rebels, who have almost no personnel to bring in, but let Joe go? Hart and Mascherano, who had performed well in Argentina, were loaned to De Roysden in League One.
However, the outside world has also given enough recognition to the strength of the Red Rebels and Arsenal, last season's Premier League was almost dominated by these two teams, the former unbeaten in the season, the latter won a record 28 wins, and only lost two games in a season, which can be seen as a reflection of the strength of both teams.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have improved this year and should be able to touch the Premier League trophy if they run well, but the Red Rebels have largely intact players and are likely to be strong contenders for the Premier League title.
Arsenal have not changed much, Liverpool have made big changes, and both teams are also big changes in the new Premier League.
After a summer of integration, the first five teams in the Premier League have been greatly improved, which will also bring great changes to the Premier League, in addition to Newcastle, Bolton, Aston Villa and other traditional teams are not small, among which Tottenham Hotspur has introduced 14 players in one go, which makes people have to pay attention to this team.
…………………… Outside of the transfer market, the Premier League is also getting better commercially.
As the race for the Premier League title heats up last season, the Premier League's attention is also increasing, especially with the successive big moves by Chelsea and Manchester United this year, which have brought the Premier League a lot of attention.
Barkley Bank recently signed a new three-year sponsorship deal with the Premier League for a whopping £63 million per year, an increase of £15 million from the previous £48 million, and this is a sign of their confidence in Premier League operators.
However, behind the glitz, there are now many professionals who are criticizing the business model of the Premier League, believing that the Premier League, whether it is a league or a club, relies too much on commercial means, and they borrow from banks by mortgaging players, in exchange for a large amount of money, continue to invest more in the transfer market, and then borrow.
This kind of capital circulation is very ideal in good times of the economy, but once it comes to the economic crisis, it is likely that the capital chain will break, and then cause a collapse, and at that time, the overall image of the Premier League will collapse.
Another point is that with the Premier League's easing of the transfer fee payment, the instalment payment has been honoured.
For example, Manchester United bought Rooney for a transfer fee of 27 million pounds, but in this transfer contract, Everton has to get all the money, and it will take up to 3 years, in return, Manchester United can enjoy a 25% share of the next sale of Rooney.
It's a share, not a profit share!
In other words, if Rooney leaves Manchester United according to the transfer of 27 million pounds in the future, Everton can get another 7 million pounds, and Rooney's total value will reach 34 million pounds.
This reminds Xiao Yu of 2010, Rooney was clamoring to leave Manchester United, and Manchester United, including Alex Ferguson, this time without exception chose to appear as a weakling, and kept Rooney vigorously, which inevitably did not exist in this clause.
Just imagine, if Rooney sells for a sky-high price, but in the end it is cheaper for Everton, Manchester United's heartache can be imagined.
And this installment method also allows the Premier League giants to buy the stars they want, but it makes the income of the middle and lower teams in a difficult situation, so to speak, this is a clause that protects the big teams through and through.
As the owner of the Red Rebels, Xiao Yu is also very disgusted by this clause, because he has always liked cash transactions for buying and selling, and the Red Rebels buy players with a one-time surname payment, and those teams that buy Red Rebels players also have to pay with a surname.
However, at the Premier League owners' summit at the end of June, Xiao Yu still put forward a proposal to limit this clause, and he proposed that installments can be paid, but the term is at most one year, or even controlled within half a year, so as to avoid small teams from encountering financial difficulties.
........................ "There is no doubt that the Premier League is a league of 20 top teams and is not under the jurisdiction of the FA, but let's not forget that we are undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid, but it is the teams in the lower leagues that we have trampled under our feet that support us to stand so high, without them we would not be able to climb to this height!" ”
With the rise of the Red Rebels' reputation, especially after several of Xiao Yu's plans were well received, Xiao Yu's voice at the Premier League owners' summit has also increased.
In the past, the summit was the talk of a few big-name clubs, but now with the rise of the Red Rebels and the emergence of Chelsea, more people can join the discussion, which makes the Premier League owners' summit more and more valuable.
The English youth training plan proposed by Xiao Yu has begun to be promoted in England, and the youth team league of all ages advocated by Xiao Yu has also been implemented, all of which have benefited all English professional teams, and also caused the Red Rebels to have more and more power in the Premier League.
Xiao Yu's attitude towards the Premier League policy is very clear, that is, it cannot be oligopoly, any kind of event, once the oligarchy is completely lost, and without suspense, the vitality of this event will disappear.
That's why F1 does everything it can to limit Scuderia Ferrari!
A group of Premier League owners are not general, and they all have a deep understanding of Xiao Yu's words, especially the owners of West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and Norwich, who have just been promoted from League One this year, they all know very well that English One and the Premier League are two completely different worlds.
In the Premier League, you can get a lot of money every year, which can allow Premier League teams to have more transfer fees, have a higher salary structure, and attract more players, but not in League One.
As a Red Rebel who has come all the way from the lower leagues, Xiao Yu has undoubtedly been committed to speaking for these teams.
"Then what good advice does Mr. Xiao Yu have?" Premier League Commission Chairman Richard? Scadmore asked with a smile.
The sudden rise of Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels has brought huge benefits and attention to the Premier League, and the Red Rebels' results are indeed outstanding, coupled with the fact that the Red Rebels are the best in the Premier League, which has attracted countless foreign investment interest for the Premier League.
There is a saying that is very common to clubs in the Premier League, that is, since it is a market economy, it must be open to attract more foreign capital to intervene, improve competitiveness, and then improve the overall strength and attractiveness of the league.
Behind closed doors, just like England was banned from European competitions, the Heysel tragedy is considered one of the reasons for the Premier League's poor performance in European competitions, and in the ever-evolving and changing world of football, a five-year ban is undoubtedly a long time to fill in the gaps in this period.
And the appearance of the Red Rebels and Xiao Yu undoubtedly provides such a classic example!
"I heard that the FA intends to reorganize the three leagues of League One, League Two and League C, I think this is a good phenomenon, we should help them, these teams are our foundation, once their living environment improves, and their operational capacity improves, it will give us more excellent players, and then improve our strength!"
After a pause, Xiao Yu said again: "One more thing should not be forgotten, competition will lead to progress, if everyone wants to turn the Premier League into a game played by 20 teams in turn, I suggest that the Premier League cancel relegation, it will be more secure." ”
The last sentence is a joke, but it clearly tells everyone the fact that once the Premier League's relegation and relegation mechanism loses its meaning, what is the difference between it and cancellation?
Relegation itself is to improve the competitiveness of the league, if it will always be those teams who are promoted and those teams who are relegated, what is the difference between that and no relegation?
"That's definitely impossible, isn't canceling relegation and relegation the same as the NBA?" Someone said with a smile.
But Xiao Yu also laughed, "Since this is the case, then we should work hard to change this situation, I believe that this is not a big deal at all for those of us here, just sacrificing a small part of the benefits, but it can bring more abundant and long-term benefits." ”
Then he quickly added: "As for the NBA, I think they have a lot to learn from us, such as their salary structure, such as their overseas market development, I think we still have a lot to learn in this area, and all of this can bring us immeasurable benefits!" ”
Xiao Yu drew a big cake at the meeting with some demagogy, which was so big that all Premier League teams were dumbfounded.
They have to suspect that if the data provided by Xiao Yu is true, it will undoubtedly bring huge and even revolutionary changes to the development of the Premier League!
