Chapter 409 Southampton is bankrupt!

Yang Huan looked at David Gill, who also showed no fear.

Just kidding, he represents Manchester United, the oldest traditional giant in the Premier League

"I don't have any opinion, do whatever you want."

Yang Huan said something that surprised everyone present.

Wow, is he going to compromise?

A hint of surprise flashed across Abramovich's eyes. Is Yang Huan going to give in and admit defeat?

This is totally unlike Yang Huan's style.

David Gill was also caught off guard. Why did he give up so quickly?

According to the script you wrote, you should argue with reason, resist stubbornly, and refuse to obey until death.

How can you admit defeat?

But after Yang Huanzhen finished speaking, he sat back in his seat and watched with a smile.

Scudmore was a little confused. What on earth was this Young Master Huan doing?

David Gill had a lot of ideas in his mind but couldn't say them.

Fortunately, he had been making preparations over the past few days, imagining various possible problems and how to deal with them.

But what no one expected was that this young master would directly plead guilty in court without any intention of defending himself.

What is this?

How can I continue to perform this play if you are like this?

There was a moment of surprised silence in the entire conference room, followed by an uproar.

Almost everyone was talking to the people around them and behind them, and no one expected that Southampton would give up the fat meat so easily.

Some people were even delighted in their hearts.

It's a pity that you, Manchester United, still wanted to use Southampton to abolish the Premier League's regulations, but now they have pleaded guilty.

David Gill was very depressed, but he had already started and couldn't stop halfway.

After a loud cough, David Gill waited until everyone was quiet again before looking at Yang Huan.

"Mr. Yang Huan, are you sure Southampton will let us do whatever we want?"

David Gill's words were full of encouragement. He almost said to Yang Huan, "Little brother, you should be tougher and more persistent. I actually support you."

But Yang Huan made a gesture of invitation, and Yu Cui didn't even say a word.

David Gill was depressed now. Damn it, don’t you understand what I’m saying?

But now that things have come to this, what else can he say?

"Then let's all start discussing how to deal with this."

After saying that, David Gill sat back in his seat and glanced at Yang Huan with a hint of resentment.

Yang Huan looked calm and composed from beginning to end, and even gave people the feeling that the topics discussed by everyone present had nothing to do with him.

How can he be so calm and collected?

Just as David Gill sat down, Abramovich stood up.

The Russian tycoon's wishful thinking was also ruined by Yang Huan's sudden surrender.

Originally, he and Marina Granovskaia thought that if the Premier League forced Southampton, the Saints would definitely seek help, and then Abramovich would take advantage of the situation and sign Strootman and Neymar at a low price.

Two players in exchange for Southampton's high release clause, I believe Yang Huan will make a choice

Unexpectedly, this guy always behaves so unexpectedly and actually pleads guilty.

This is outrageous. Can you please have a little bit of the spirit of a criminal?

Do you still want to continue having fun together?

"I suggest that as long as Southampton stops advertising on jerseys, there is no need for the Premier League to impose penalties."

What the Chelsea boss said was quite kind.

Many people present also held the attitude that harmony brings wealth, and they all thought that this was a good way to handle the situation.

“I agree”

“I also agree with Mr. Abramovich’s proposal”

"I also support Roman's proposal."

The response from everyone invisibly enhanced Abramovich's status and influence at the round table meeting.

Seeing the situation like this, coupled with his previous very good impression of Southampton and Yang Huan, Scudmore simply took advantage of the situation and confirmed the result on the spot.

But just when Skudmore announced the penalty result, Yang Huan suddenly stood up again.

"I am sorry to tell you a sad news"

Everyone present looked at Yang Huan in astonishment. What on earth did this young man want?

Skudmore's eyelids also jumped. "Little brother, you just confessed your guilt. What are you going to do now?"

"We are bankrupt at Southampton"

As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, the entire conference room became so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Southampton? Bankrupt?

After five or six seconds of shock, there was an uproar and everyone couldn't believe it.

"Bankrupt? Are you kidding me?"

"How could it be possible to go bankrupt?"

"Yeah, it's all for no reason. How did it go bankrupt?"

Yang Huan stretched out his hands, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

The interesting thing is that everything really calmed down.

Perhaps, everyone wants to hear what Yang Huan has to say.

"The contract we signed for jersey advertising has a total penalty of 200 million pounds. Now we want to unilaterally tear up the contract, but we can't afford such a large amount of liquidated damages, so I'm sorry, we can only declare bankruptcy."

Everyone was stunned

Is it okay to play like this?

"So, from now on, you guys can play in the Premier League by yourselves. I have nothing to do with it anymore."

After saying that, Yang Huan walked out of his seat, looking like he was about to leave.

"Mr. Yang Huan, what are you doing..." Skudmore was completely panicked.

He also didn't expect that Yang Huan would do this.

Just leave when you say so?

This is the rhythm of withdrawing from the Premier League, withdrawing from the Premier League

Not only him, everyone present was shocked.

Want to quit the Premier League?

An income of over 100 million pounds a year, and you're just going to withdraw it like that?

"I'm sorry, Richard, we're bankrupt and can't play in the Premier League anymore. Let's go back to the Championship. As for our vacancy, according to your original rules, it should be filled by Blackpool, right?"

After saying that, Yang Huan took Peter Nian around in a circle and walked out of the meeting room under the stunned gaze of everyone.

Blackpool?

The team that reached the final of the Championship play-offs, but eventually lost to West Ham United and failed to be promoted to the Premier League

According to the rules, Blackpool should have made up for it.

Everyone looked in disbelief at the conference room door that opened and then closed again. They turned around and looked at the empty seats, wondering if they were dreaming.

Scudamore was in a panic. Blackpool and Southampton are two completely different teams.

Sky and BT have agreed to add more matches, and everyone knows the target is Southampton.

If there were no Southampton, who would be willing to increase the number of live broadcasts?

Not only that, I am afraid that even the current broadcasting rights prices will have to fall.

By that time, he will no longer be the CEO of the Premier League.

But at this moment, someone suddenly slammed the table hard and stood up angrily.

"It's outrageous. It's really outrageous."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Abramovich who had just been trying to be nice.

"What is he trying to do? Threaten all of our teams? Does he think that Southampton can threaten us?"

Everyone felt that what Abramovich said made sense.

A newly promoted team actually wants to blackmail the Premier League?

If this gets out, won't everyone laugh their heads off?

What prestige will the Premier League have in the future?

If this precedent is set, and Manchester United and Arsenal also threaten to strike in the future, how will the entire league be played?

"Yes, Roman is right. We can't let them succeed in their threat, otherwise the Premier League will be over."

"If they want to withdraw from the Premier League, then let them withdraw and let Blackpool take over."

"Yes, I think Blackpool is pretty good too."

"Who says it isn't? This team is quite influential."

Skudmore groaned inwardly when he heard this.

Blackpool has no influence

Compared to Southampton, Blackpool is a piece of crap.

But he knew even more clearly that this group of people wanted Southampton to withdraw and let Blackpool take over.

The reason is simple, Blackpool poses no threat to them.

David Gill didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart.

That's more like it.

Southampton is going to be noisy and domineering like this, that's what makes it fun

If you don't play like this, how can I continue playing?

Hehe, if you make such a fuss, then we will have a chance

Just when everyone agreed that Southampton should withdraw from the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur CEO Daniel Levy stood up.

'Blackpool are simply not qualified to fill Southampton's void'

Everyone else present immediately looked at him.

"Why not?"

"Yeah, isn't it all a club team?"

"Don't underestimate Blackpool, I think this team is very strong"

Daniel Levy sneered, "Just like Blackpool, you want to replace Southampton? You don't even ask the sponsors and broadcasters if they are willing."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was speechless.

Yes, the Premier League has sponsors and broadcasters.

It turns out that Southampton has such a great influence, with fans all over the world, especially among young fans, which are not inferior to those top teams. Young fans are undoubtedly the target of sponsors' vigorous development now.

Now, Southampton is gone for no reason and replaced by Blackpool. Who would be happy about that?

As for jersey advertising investment, it is the club's own business and does not infringe on the interests of Premier League sponsors and broadcasters at all.

But if Southampton is replaced by Blackpool, it would mean bleeding the sponsors and broadcasters.

Now is the critical moment of the new broadcast contract negotiation. Such an incident at this sensitive moment has a huge impact.

David Gill also stood up. "Daniel is right. Southampton replacing Blackpool is simple and there is no problem with the procedure. However, have you ever thought about how big the impact will be?"

Abramovich snorted coldly after hearing this. "Are we going to let Southampton threaten us? If that's the case, will the Premier League still have credibility in the future?"

"If Southampton is not severely punished this time, we at Chelsea will also go on strike"

There was another uproar among the crowd.

Strike this game? Strike that game?

So should we still play the Premier League?

Could you wealthy people please stop being so willful?

But as soon as Abramovich finished speaking, Newcastle's fat owner Ashley stood up and sneered.

"Strike? You Chelsea want to strike? Then why are you still standing here?"

Ashley's expression was interesting, as if he was saying that if Southampton said they wanted to strike, at least they left the game immediately.

If you, Mr. Abramovich, are also determined to strike, please leave as well, ok?

At least, you show your determination.

Abramovich knew that the fat guy just disliked him and was trying to disgust him.

But if he also left on the spot, then his angry words would be confirmed.

Southampton is desperate. They are originally in a low-level league and if they go on strike, they will just go back to the Championship.

But what is Chelsea?

Premier League giants?

If there is a real strike, it won’t last too long, even just a year, and all sponsors will run away.

When Abramovich thought of this, he felt depressed.

Then how did Yang Huan have the courage to call for a strike?

Where does he get the confidence from?
