Chapter 356 Is There A Newly Promoted Horse Like You?
When Yang Huan took Southampton up and down, appeared at La Marcelina, a century-old classic gourmet restaurant in Valencia, and devoured the paella, which is said to be the best in the world, the headquarters of the Sun newspaper was blown up.

"Change the front page headline!"

Following the editor-in-chief Rebekah Wade's shout after entering the editorial department, everyone in the editorial department looked over in dumbfounded.

How is this going?

"Remove the news about the Manchester duo and go to Southampton!"

Rebekah Wade ordered in a very affirmative manner.

"Why, editor-in-chief?" Someone immediately stood up in confusion.

Yes, Southampton beat Valencia and successfully advanced to the next round.

But the problem is that Manchester City and Manchester United were eliminated from the Europa League. Isn't this also a big news?

And from a certain point of view, Manchester City and Manchester United are Premier League teams, and they are competing for the Premier League championship this season. The two teams were eliminated from the Europa League at this time, and the news value is obviously higher.

As for Southampton, it seems that everyone is used to this unpopular machine!
Rebekah Wade glanced at the reporter, who had just returned from Manchester.

The information on Manchester City is the first-hand information he got.

Who wants to be removed from the front page headlines for no reason?
"Let me tell you, the rivalry between Manchester United and Manchester City is really newsworthy, but I just got first-hand information. BBC TV and several other TV stations, the ratings of the live broadcast of the Southampton-Valencia match surpassed the match between Manchester City and Manchester United, and even surpassed the Champions League knockout match between Chelsea and Arsenal!"

Many people in the editorial department were stunned, and there were sounds of surprise.

"What does this mean?"

Rebekah Wade said very positively: "This means that ordinary fans care more about Southampton!"

The purpose of the Sun Newspaper is to dig deep into the topics that readers care about, squeeze out all the news value, and satisfy the psychological needs of readers!
"Also, I just learned an important inside story, and none of you guys know about it!"

What Rebekah Wade said made the hearts of many reporters in the editorial department jump.

What heavy insider?
"Ex-Chelsea chief executives Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley, both in Southampton!"

"what?"

"How is this possible?"

"Are both of you gone?"

"No way?"

Everyone in the editorial department was dumbfounded.

What is Southampton doing here?
Obviously, this team not only wants to make a big splash on the football field, but also wants to catch up with the rich teams head-on in terms of club management. This is the rhythm that will turn the Premier League upside down!
Isn't that what Chelsea did back then?
It's just that Abramovich suddenly changed his mind when he walked halfway!

As for the golden pair of Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley, people in the football circle all gave a thumbs up and praised it!

It would be much more interesting if they all went to Southampton.

Rebekah Wade was satisfied with the effect she had produced.

People say that the Sun newspaper is pervasive. For so many years, the Sun newspaper seems to be satisfied with such a false name and halo. This group of guys have begun to feel a little bit smug, and they have forgotten how the Sun newspaper became popular in the first place.

Now, just in time to bang and bang them!
"Let me tell you, the most topical team in the Premier League in the future must be Southampton!"

Rebekah Wade said this very definitely.

He was even more certain after Southampton reversed Valencia to become the only remaining English side in the Europa League.

"Focus on this team for me in the future!"

The group of reporters in the editorial department immediately nodded in agreement.

"Also, tell Steven to come and find me, and he will write the headlines for Southampton tomorrow!"

Steven? Howard, the number one commentator of The Sun, has countless fans and can be described as a gold medal writer.

…………

…………

The incident that happened at the headquarters of the Sun newspaper is happening in all major newspaper offices in the UK, large and small.

When all the newspapers came out early the next morning, the whole of Britain was blown up.

With the exception of a very few newspapers, almost all newspapers have locked the front page headlines on Southampton.

Among the major newspapers, only The Times still chose the news of the Manchester duo as the headline on the front page, but gave Southampton at least one-third of the front page in a conspicuous position.

This time the British fans are crazy!
The traditional giants Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all lost and were eliminated.

But Southampton in the English Championship won!
Southampton fans are the most excited.

On the Internet, Saints fans rushed to tell each other, and countless Saints fans fell into a carnival.

Southampton is superior and stronger, otherwise how could it be possible to do this?

Premier League powerhouses, what qualifications do you have to look down on the Championship team?

When you were eliminated from the European arena, it was the British Championship team that you usually look down on, and it gave us a face for the British Empire. How dare you say that you are a giant in the Premier League?

Forget it!
Don't waste the air alive, waste the land dead!
Not only newspapers, but also TV stations have focused on Southampton's feat of reversing the promotion.

Needless to say, BBC TV, Roger Moses made great efforts to promote Southampton.

Independent and other TV stations have also joined the ranks.

Even Sky TV, which is responsible for the live broadcast of the Premier League, has begun to focus on promoting Southampton this time.

Some media even broke the news that Sky TV has already made preparations in advance. Although Southampton is only a newly promoted in the share of live broadcasts of Premier League games next season, its share will be greatly increased, and even catch up with the live broadcasts of the traditional semi-finals.

This immediately caused the entire English football world to fry.

You know, 50.00% of the broadcast fee income of the Premier League teams is shared equally, the other 20.00%20.00 is divided according to the league ranking, and the remaining [-]%[-] is divided according to the number of broadcast games.

Don't underestimate that it is only a quarter, but it can be enlarged to hundreds of millions of pounds in the Premier League broadcast fee, which is a huge amount.

The reason why the media broke the news was that the broadcast facilities at St. Mary's Stadium were too bad.

Sky TV was planning to purchase a set of equipment to cooperate with Southampton to transform the broadcast system of St. Mary's Stadium to cope with the live broadcast of the Premier League next season, but the news was leaked in advance.

But as soon as the news leaked, the Championship team became dissatisfied and directly complained to the FA.

They believe that the league is not over yet. Although Southampton is the best and the possibility of winning the championship is very high, they haven't won the championship yet. Why should the media report it like this?
When are the other Championship teams?Is it a sparring partner?

I have to sincerely apologize!
Not only the Championship team, but also the Premier League team!

Damn, haven't you upgraded yet?
How come the interests of the big brothers have been mobilized?

If this makes you upgrade, you guys are awesome, do we old-timers still have a place to stand?

Is there a newly promoted horse like you?
Besides, the number of live broadcasts in each season is so small, traditional strong teams cannot move, and Manchester City is also very popular recently, and they cannot move. Once the number of live broadcasts of Southampton increases, it will reduce the number of live broadcasts of teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

This scene is all money!

In the past, the top four of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea took the majority, so we recognized it. Who made them traditional and strong?

Recently, Manchester City came up again, and we have nothing to do. After all, they are already in the Premier League, so there is nothing to say.

But you, an upstart team that was still in the League One a year ago, grabbed food with us as soon as it came out, are you embarrassed?
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the Premier League team immediately quit and protested immediately, demanding to increase the number of broadcasts for mid- and lower-level teams.

At first, the bosses of one or two teams yelled a few words in the media, but two days later, Chelsea boss Abramovich directly fired at the media, believing that Southampton would seriously damage the interests of English football.

His logic is that Southampton currently has four local English players in the first team, and last summer they sold two local stars, Adam Lallana and Chamberlain.

This approach of achieving strength improvement in the short term through massive signings is not good for English professional football.

But as soon as Abramovich said this, the famous reporter Charlene Lahiri immediately counterattacked in the column.

"It's only been a few years, how can Abramovich forget how Chelsea won the league championship?"

Charlene Lahiri's counterattack was immediately sought after by the fans.

But with Abramovich taking the lead, the bosses and bosses of several other Premier League teams soon emerged.

At a Premier League boss summit in mid-March, they asked the Premier League CEO Scudemore to put pressure on Sky TV to support the mid- and lower-level teams on this matter.

The subtext is that a newly promoted horse must look like a newly promoted horse!

Now the British reporters were happy, and immediately hyped wildly.

In the end, Sky TV was forced to have no other choice. It directly stood up and said firmly that this was just a very common facility renovation, and other Premier League teams had done it before.

As for the arrangement of the live broadcast, the spokesman of Sky TV said that this matter is related to the company's confidentiality and should not be disclosed to the outside world.

The subtext is to say, you bastards, if you have money, take it, don't talk so much nonsense.

If I really pissed me off, I'll let you all drink the northwest wind!

As a result, the bosses of those Premier League teams who had opinions were silent all of a sudden, not daring to say any more nonsense.

When Yang Huan heard the news at St. Mary's Stadium, he laughed from ear to ear.

"How could such a thin arm overwhelm a thick thigh?"

Raiola, who was sitting opposite Yang Huan, couldn't help laughing.

Even Sky TV pays so much attention to Southampton, it can be seen that I hugged this thigh right at the beginning!

"Master Huan!" Sun Yue also took the words with a smile.

"According to me, Abramovich is the most disreputable one. The matter had already calmed down, but in the end, he came out to be an early bird. It seems that he doesn't like us very much!"

"That's right!" Yang Huan laughed straight, "If he can look at me pleasingly, that would be a strange thing!"

You gave me players for free and paid me a salary, and I ended up killing you with the players you gave me!
Presumably, at this time, Abramovich is thinking about eating my flesh and drinking my blood.

However, this old boy is indeed not authentic enough, it is too insidious to make trouble secretly.

"Hey, Mino, have you heard about Chelsea's transfer this summer?"

Yang Huan asked with a smile, Sun Yue and others could tell the clue at a glance with that expression.

Master Huan, this is disgusting Chelsea!

In the transfer market these days, who doesn't know that Southampton is the big money maker?
It doesn't matter who Chelsea has their eyes on, as long as we shout out, we will say who we are looking at, and that person's value will skyrocket immediately?

"Wonderful, Master Huan, let's play a few words, Chelsea will be disgusted to death by us!" Sun Yue immediately applauded.

The most feared thing in the transfer market is a stagnant pool without competition.

It's like an auction, with competition, especially when you're blush, you can get any sky-high price.

"Master Huan, there really is!" Raiola thought about it, and there really was!
