Chapter 901: Group carnival

Yang Huan never denies that everything he has built is based on a premise.
He is a traverser!
Without this premise, he could not choose Bielsa, nor could he introduce a large number of outstanding potential stars with such a low price advantage to create Southampton today.
These two points can be said to be crucial.
You know, in recent years, with the arms race between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with the strong intervention of local teams such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, the supply of talents for the first-line stars of European football has been in short supply.
This is also the main reason why, in recent years, the transfer value of first-line stars has been rising.
According to the laws of the market economy, when it is scarce, it is naturally expensive.
So, if Yang Huan is not a traverser, how can Southampton buy these stars?
Even if it can be bought, how much will it cost?
Giants such as Manchester United keep saying that they want to recover. After investing so much money, is the team formed as a result competitive?
This is what Yang Huan mentioned, the attractiveness of Premier League teams in terms of human resources is declining.
So what is the reason for the decline in the attractiveness of the Premier League?
Those who have a deep understanding of player transfers know that there are many factors that affect player transfers, but the most important ones are those points.
One of the easiest to be eliminated first is the league level.
It is impossible for the popular stars of the five major leagues to go to the second-tier leagues such as the Portuguese Super League and the Eredivisie.
However, when the Premier League and La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are almost at the same level, the team's performance, technical and tactical style, personal salary and treatment, and the positioning of the team have become the key to determining the player's transfer. .
Looking at it this way, the problem of the Premier League is very simple.
The team's performance is not ideal, the overall environment of the league is fiercely competitive, and the technical and tactical style is incompatible with the European mainstream. All these directly lead to the lack of attractiveness of the top players in the Premier League.
You know, in the past few years from 2004 to 2009, the technical and tactical level of the Premier League is still quite high.
At that time, Mourinho and Benitez's style of play was considered advanced in continental Europe. In addition, the pressure of competition in the Premier League was not so great at that time, and the attraction to players was still very strong.
So at that time, the Premier League gathered a group of popular European stars such as Harvey Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Henry, Fabregas, Vidic, Makelele, etc., all of which depended on the Premier League at the time. The overall environment.
But in the past few years, European football has undergone earth-shaking changes. Has the Premier League made progress?
There is another point that few people have noticed, that is, the increase in the Premier League tax rate and the weakness of the pound in recent years.
As we all know, the European continent uses the euro, but the Premier League uses the British pound for settlement. But the trend of the pound in recent years is obvious to all. Coupled with the increase in the tax rate by the British government, the Premier League has completely become the highest tax rate among the four major leagues. League.
Imagine that under the effect of these two aspects, the Premier League team should pay a player the same salary as other leagues. How much will it cost?
Skudmore understood and understood the points mentioned by Yang Huan very well.
But these are not things he can change.
It's like talking about the tax rate. It's about the British government and the law. What can he do?
Also, the well-known labor certification, this also makes the Premier League team helpless?
"In fact, I personally think that the weakness of the Premier League giants is inseparable from the Premier League's broadcast sharing system." Yang Huan looked at Scudmore and said slowly.
Scudmore frowned. "I don't quite understand."
This problem is not trivial. If a bad one is spread out, it will be said to be true at any time. Young Master Huan is criticizing the Premier League broadcast rights distribution system, which is not a trivial matter.
"Many people say that the Premier League’s broadcast fee sharing system is an innovation, but in fact, it is a product that has existed before the establishment of the Premier League. At that time, the benefit distribution system of the English top league began to emphasize the equalization of the rich and the poor. ."
At that time, the distribution system of England's top league seemed to be quite weird.
For example, the game day income has to be taken out and the home and away teams are divided.
Just imagine, would those big teams be willing?
They worked so hard to get sponsorships, advertise, and attract fans, but the money they made had to score points with the small teams that came to play?
Why?
Oh, just because you came to play a game with me?
Hippy mother, I don’t think it’s good if your level is too poor. Do you dare to say you want to divide the money?
As a result, in the 1980s, England's top league teams began to make trouble, and finally abolished the system of equal points.
But in today's FA Cup games, there is still such a tradition, so many big teams would rather go to small teams to play away games, why?
Once the FA Cup is not attractive, the income is not much, and then I will score with the visiting team. How much can I leave?
But the home facilities of the rich team are called advanced ones. How much does it cost to maintain? What is the labor cost?
This is fully calculated, not to mention making money, it is not bad if you can not lose money.
Therefore, when the big teams went to the away game in the FA Cup, some simply didn't even want to be divided, and they were cheap visiting teams at that time.
There is also the sharing of broadcast fees.
You know, the four levels of the English league at the time were all maintained by the broadcast fees of the top leagues.
In other words, the broadcast rights income of the League One can only be divided into half. The second-level League B is divided into 25%, and the third and fourth-level leagues are divided into the remaining percentage. Of twenty-five.
This is enough to make the League One team depressed.
Because of the high operating costs, facility maintenance costs, as well as player and labor salaries in the top leagues, the money allocated to the small teams in the low-level leagues is almost completely unearned.
Even at the time, I didn't know how many small team owners, the purpose of maintaining the team's survival, is for this money.
Because of this, the League One team rebelled collectively with the support of broadcasters and created the Premier League.
But in fact, even now, the Premier League still has to allocate a lot of money every year to fund low-level league teams. This is a condition negotiated since the establishment of the Premier League.
From a current perspective, the glorious legend of English football history is precisely based on this distribution.
Therefore, Nottingham Forest can rise as a small team, create an opportunity for promotion to win the championship, and successfully defend the title in the European arena. Behind the Nottingham Forest is the average game day income of the big teams and the sharing of broadcast rights. The.
So, does it mean that this is reasonable?
Does it mean that we should go back to this time to rejuvenate English football?
From the perspective of the small team, of course, there is no doubt that it is their spring.
But for the big teams, that is a nightmare.
This kind of system has created the rise of small teams and the upsets, but it has also created the unpretentiousness of big teams.
As the most prosperous big city in the UK, London, which has the highest spending power and the most popular football market in the UK, has never been able to achieve success in football. Why?
Manchester United's re-emergence was in the 1990s, and many people said it was Ferguson, the 92nd class.
But is it really just that simple behind this?
Therefore, the Premier League team adjusted the profit distribution model after its establishment.
This directly led to a small team like Nottingham Forest, who would never have the opportunity to compete with big cities like London, Manchester and Liverpool, so they were eliminated.
The gap between the Premier League and the teams in several other leagues is gradually widening and becoming more and more obvious.
Even within the Premier League, there are similar divisions. A group of teams with outstanding management and performance led by Manchester United and Arsenal have risen strongly, establishing their status as giants.
However, the distribution model of the Premier League still has the flavor of being rich and poor.
For Yang Huan's analysis, Skudmore had different opinions.
"Master Huan, there is nothing wrong with what you said, but you should also see that the current Premier League's distribution model is far more reasonable than it was in the past."
After a pause, Skudmore said: "You must know that the distribution of the League of Nations back then was, in the final analysis, ignoring the differences between the team's management and the objective environment and adopting a simple and rude way to achieve equality between the rich and the poor. The purpose, to put it simply, is to exploit big teams and fund small teams so that the rich are not rich and the poor are not poor."
"But now, we recognize and encourage differentiation. Through various operating methods, we will make the big pie of the Premier League bigger and stronger, and then through reasonable distribution, the rich will become richer and the poor will not be poor. In turn, all teams in the league can be satisfied."
Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, Richard, you are right at all, but I am not trying to doubt this set of distribution methods, but to illustrate the fact that when the poor of the Premier League are not poor, When the poor in other leagues are still poor, and our rich are not richer than the rich in other leagues, what changes will it bring?"
At this time, Skudmore was silent, and he began to think about the meaning of Master Huan's words.
Exploitation, perhaps, should not be called exploitation, but differentiation. This is the basis of a market economy.
In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona's Spanish Super League duo is a unique show. The two teams occupy half of the resources and interests of La Liga, so they can take away from other La Liga teams.
The same is true for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, backed by large consortia and large state-owned enterprises, they can attract all the players of the Bundesliga with conditions that other teams cannot afford.
But they are all products of full competition in the market economy. Who can say that they are not?
"We have noticed that in the past few years, even the relegated teams in the Premier League have been able to get an amazing broadcast share every year. This money allows them to buy their favorite players in the transfer market. Improve their competitiveness and shorten the strength gap with top teams."
"We all know that a team has to be promoted from a relegation level to a midstream, or even a midstream, and it must be promoted from a midstream to an upstream. Those are two completely different difficulties, right?"
Skudmore finally understood what Master Huan meant.
The top four in the league are hurdles, which everyone knows.
What Huan Shaoye means is that when the downstream teams have enough purchasing power to earn more than 10 million, or even 20 to 30 million, signings in the transfer market, the price-performance ratio of their signings is definitely higher than that of strong ones. Of the team.
Because the bigger the card, the scarcer the star ~EbookFREE.me~ the premium is often outrageous.
But the problem now is that strong teams have encountered problems in signing up and are not attractive, but mid- and lower-level teams have no such problem. They have signed up. The strength gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller. The internal competition in the Premier League has almost reached a tragic stage.
Yes, ten years ago there was indeed fierce competition, and the distribution was still in accordance with this set of patterns, but ten years ago, the local broadcast fee for the Premier League was only three billion pounds in three years, but ten years later, it is as high as three billion pounds. Even the next contract is estimated to be higher than this, and the outside world is estimated to exceed 4.5 billion pounds.
And ten years ago, local broadcasting fees were almost all of the income from broadcasting rights, but now, overseas markets account for one-third, and the Internet and other media platforms also account for a considerable amount.
What happens when the income of a relegated Premier League team can catch up with the giants of other leagues?
It was a very unreasonable and crazy collective carnival!
