Chapter 418 Anti-Saint Vanguard
Still in the Landmark Hotel, still in the largest conference room on the eighth floor, still in the same location.

In just one month, two Premier League chairman summits have been held, which has never happened in the past 20 years in the Premier League.

The last time the chairman's summit was held so intensively was before the establishment of the Premier League. There were a lot of things that needed urgent consultation.

But this time, it was because of a newly promoted horse!

Southampton!

In the past month, it has been in the newspapers every day, every day it has caused fans to worry, and it has kept all the chairman and owner of the entire Premier League awake.

Everyone present hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible!

It's just that some things are easy to start and difficult to end.

Abramovich sat in Chelsea's seat, Marina Granovskia sat behind him, and like many people present, they were getting impatient.

Especially Abramovich, he was already at odds with Yang Huan, and now he had to wait here for him, he was seriously unbalanced.

"It's outrageous, so many of us are waiting for him here?" Abramovich said angrily.

"Yeah, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"Wait a little longer, things can't be dragged on like this forever, they have to be resolved!"

"But will he come or not?"

Someone in the conference room echoed Abramovich's dissatisfaction in a low voice.

They are all famous figures, but now they want to wait for someone here?

If this gets out, wouldn't it make countless people laugh out loud?

But amidst this burst of discussion, someone sneered and sneered at Abramovich.

"If you don't want to wait, you can go!"

Everyone followed the reputation, and it was the chairman of Newcastle, Ashley.

This guy doesn't know what's going on, he always dislikes Abramovich, and wants to do everything against Abramovich.

"Besides, if I remember correctly, you said a month ago that Chelsea would also withdraw from the Premier League. What's the matter, are you backing off now?" After speaking, Ashley laughed sarcastically.

The fire in Abramovich's heart, this damn British guy has taken the wrong medicine no matter what.

Why are you holding on to me for no reason?

I didn't molested your wife, nor robbed your lover, why do you like to have trouble with me so much?
But Ashley and Newcastle still have some influence among the local forces.

Therefore, Abramovich snorted coldly, but did not refute, but was very upset in his heart.

You fat man, the next time we play Newcastle, I will blame you if I don't play!
Everyone also found it funny to see the two people who disliked each other competing.

Some people also understand in their hearts that Abramovich simply dislikes Southampton, wishing that the Saints would really retire.

But the problem now is that the sponsors don't do it!

Big sponsors such as Sky Television, British Telecom and Barclays Bank have all exerted pressure.

If Southampton really withdraws from the game, then this matter still has to be played!
Maybe at that time, the Premier League will also have a lockout scandal just like Serie A and La Liga.

Thinking of this, many people are actually retreating in their hearts.

David Jill was sitting upright all the time, but he had a panoramic view of the expressions of all the people present, and he was not without embarrassment.

Yang Huan's method is indeed brilliant!
With one move, everyone was caught off guard.

For most teams in the Premier League, the threat of Southampton is still unknown, and it is hard to say whether it will even threaten itself. After all, the league has not started yet!

But if it affects the sponsors, resulting in a reduction in the income from various sponsorships, it is cutting their flesh. How can they accept this?

Even to a certain extent, whether Southampton advertises on the jersey has nothing to do with them, it is tasteless.

For a dispensable chicken rib, but lost his own interests, a fool would do this!

Thinking of this, David Jill sighed inwardly, but remained silent.

He had an agreement with Southampton before, and Manchester United will not participate in this matter!
Abramovich was very depressed, because he found that among the strong teams in the Premier League, only Chelsea came out.

He has more or less received the news that Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City will all participate in the International Champions Cup, so they are unwilling to offend Yang Huan and Southampton, and they are recruited.

Among the remaining teams, Tottenham Hotspur have always supported Southampton. Aston Villa, Fulham and other teams are all foreign owners, unwilling to interfere too much, let alone lose their own interests for a dispensable clause.

So, in this case, Chelsea are sort of on their own!
They're really a bunch of limps who act at the wind's mercy and forget righteousness when they see profit!

Abramovich wailed with grief in his heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, which attracted the attention of everyone present.

When the door opened, Yang Huan walked into the meeting room with a smile on his face, apologizing as he walked.

"Sorry, the plane is late, I'm late!"

Everyone present was slandering in their hearts, is it really too late?
But this reason, no one can say, you can't go to the flight schedule to refute Yang Huan, right?

If you really want to be so serious, then this meeting can't be held!
Peter Kenyon followed Yang Huan and also walked in.

The two of them walked around the meeting room one after the other, and returned to the familiar place by the window.

Richard Scudemore waited until Yang Huan sat down, coughed and stood up.

"Everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to attend this special meeting."

Everyone present didn't give Scudemore any reaction, and their expressions seemed to say, let's get to the point, buddy!
Scudemore knew what was going on.

"This time I invite everyone to come here, mainly to negotiate one thing, and that is the issue of Southampton's jersey advertisement."

Everyone immediately looked at Yang Huan again.

However, this eldest young master still looks like an old god, as if it has nothing to do with him.

"Southampton's sponsorship and advertising on the jersey is indeed against the regulations of the Premier League. However, I think that the Premier League should also properly consider the special situation of this team and give special treatment. I don't know what you think?"

As soon as Scudemore finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion immediately.

The attitude of the CEO of the Premier League is actually very clear, that is, let's not care about it!
On this point, he had communicated with Peter Kenyon before, and he also said that many teams had changed their tone, so Yang Huan agreed to come back to participate in this meeting.

Obviously some people don't see it that way!
"I don't think this special case can be made!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Abramovich.

This Russian is a typical anti-saint vanguard.

Anyway, regardless of 21, I am against it!

"If the Premier League opened this special case for Southampton today, what about in the future? Will Manchester United use the strike as an excuse to change the rules of the Premier League, and we will be forced to agree?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Abramovich's voice fell, David? Jill quit.

"Mr. Abramovich, I need to remind you that Manchester United is a responsible giant team. From the establishment of the Premier League to the present, we have always played an active and important role. It is impossible for the extreme situation you mentioned to happen!"

Abramovich is depressed, didn't I just give an example?
David? Jill stared at him. If you want to give an example, you can use someone else as an example. Don't bring us Manchester United!

"I think that at the beginning of the establishment of the Premier League, the decision to set up a round table meeting is to hope that when we encounter problems and problems, we can sit down and negotiate to solve them, not for personal grievances, regardless of the overall situation of the Premier League!"

Everyone understood that at the end of David Gill's words, he was actually alluding to Abramovich.

The situation is now clear.

Southampton withdrew, and the sponsors didn't do it.

Are you willing to lose millions, or even tens of millions, of the rebroadcast fee a year in order to maintain a dispensable ban?
This answer is already clearly in front of everyone, it depends on how you choose!
"Let me say something!" Tottenham Hotspur's chief executive, Daniel? Levy stood up.

Everyone nodded in unison.

The helm of the North London team is the best management ability of any Premier League team in recent years.

Second only to Southampton's Peter Kenyon, even more than Manchester United's David Gill.

This led to Daniel Levi still having a certain right to speak at the round table meeting.

"The situation in Southampton is indeed quite special. Such a large liquidated damages is really not a joke. If the contract is really terminated, Southampton can only declare bankruptcy. This is something we don't want to see!"

Everyone present, no matter whether they understand it or not, they all feel that, at least on the surface, this is the truth.

"However, some concerns are not unfounded, so I think it is best for the Premier League to acquiesce."

In fact, to put it bluntly, just like the FA, just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

But in Abramovich's view, this is conniving Southampton.

The Russian was about to refute, but Daniel Levi continued.

"However, we must restrict Southampton. For example, we are not allowed to sign new jersey advertising contracts, nor can we arbitrarily expand the size of jersey advertising, or change the position of jersey advertising, etc., until the end of the existing contract!"

Everyone thinks this makes sense.

How many years can you sign a contract?
three years?five years?
Okay, I will let you execute the contract. After the contract is executed, you have to abide by the regulations of the Premier League!

"At the same time, the [-] teams we are present must also re-sign an agreement. From now on, no team, including newly promoted players from low-level leagues, will be allowed to advertise on their jerseys in any form for any reason. Otherwise, heavy penalties will be imposed!"

After hearing this, everyone felt that Daniel Levi's proposal was quite reliable.

It can be regarded as a compromise processing method.

It's just that David Gill, Abramovich and others had somewhat stern faces when they heard this.

Daniel Levy's proposal not only restricts Southampton, but also restricts their giant teams, cutting off the idea of ​​advertising on their jerseys.

In other words, from now on, only Southampton can advertise on jerseys, and other teams don't even think about it!

"Daniel's proposal is very good, I think it is worth considering!"

"I think it's pretty good, too, Richard, what do you think?"

Richard Scudemore kept nodding, "I personally agree with it!"

The CEO of the Premier League scanned the crowd again to find out the situation.

"That's the old rule, show your hands and vote!"

The 21 teams present, plus the chief executive of the Premier League, have a total of [-] votes, more than half will pass!

Ever since, the entire meeting room was full of discussions.

Abramovich felt aggrieved in his heart, wishing that everyone would object, thinking silently in his heart, he would not raise his hand even if he was killed.

But if you look around, you can see that everyone is raising their hands.

Don't say half, I'm afraid it will be nearly twenty votes!

Especially Ashley from Newcastle, originally this fatty didn't like Southampton and Yang Huan.

But now, as soon as he saw Abramovich not raising his hands, but looking at himself, he immediately raised his hands triumphantly.

That look seems to be saying, hey, Russian boy, don't you raise your hand?
I raise my hand!
I will piss you off!

Hey, if you have the ability, you bite me!

　Begging for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket! !
