Chapter 410: Withdraw from the Premier League?

Yang Huan was not aware of what happened in the conference room after he left.

When he took Peter Nian and Long Wu downstairs, walked out of the atrium and entered the hotel lobby, he found that the gate had already been occupied by a group of reporters who had heard the news.

When the reporters saw Yang Huan and the other two appear, they immediately raised their cameras and started taking pictures of the three people walking out of the lobby, treating them like big stars.

"It seems that they have received the news," Peternian said with a wry smile.

What he fears most is facing reporters; he has a phobia of public speaking.

Yang Huan smiled and didn't think it mattered.

Isn't it just to deal with reporters?

That's my specialty, Master Huan.

Yang Huan was seen walking over with a smile on his face. As the door opened, reporters outside rushed in.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I heard that many Premier League teams have sued Southampton to the Premier League. Is that true?"

"Mr. Yang Huan, there is news that the Premier League may impose heavy penalties on Southampton this time. Is this true?"

"I also received news that the Saints may be forced to unilaterally tear up the jersey advertising contract, and if they do so, they will have to pay a sky-high penalty. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"Excuse me, will Southampton accept the punishment from the Premier League?"

Reporters rushed in all at once, asking questions of varying levels, and the scene was a mess.

Yang Huan stood at the gate leisurely, motioning Long Wu and the hotel guards to drive the car, and then faced the reporters with a smile.

All the reporters suddenly fell silent, waiting for Young Master Huan to speak.

"This was my first time attending a Premier League roundtable meeting and I had a very frank and in-depth exchange of views with the Premier League and other teams on issues of concern to everyone."

Yang Huan's words surprised everyone present.

Even Peternian, who was standing next to him, looked surprised.

What does this mean?

"This is a very pleasant experience. The Premier League has made a huge contribution to the development and prosperity of the Premier League in the past 20 years. I believe in the fairness and justice of the Premier League, and we at Southampton will respect all decisions of the Premier League."

After he finished speaking, Long Wu just happened to drive over from the parking lot.

"Okay, thank you everyone, I have nothing more to say."

Yang Huan, under the guidance of the hotel guards, came to the back seat of the Lagonda Conqueror and sat directly in.

No matter how the reporters outside shouted, he remained unmoved and directly signaled Long Wu to drive.

Even when the Lagonda Conqueror drove out of the Landmark Hotel, Yang Huan did not forget to look back at the reporters blocking the door. They seemed to be full of disappointment, which was funny.

"This ball is kicked back to the Premier League," Yang Huan laughed.

When Peternian heard what Yang Huan said, he was confused and didn't understand what it meant.

But now that he was sitting in the car and thinking about it carefully, he suddenly figured out something.

Master Huan is using diplomatic language.

"Peter, has the project of transforming the broadcasting system of St. Mary's Stadium started?" Yang Huan asked without further explanation.

Peter Nian was stunned. Why did Master Huan's thoughts jump so much?

But he quickly replied: "It has been arranged and will start in a few days."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan shook his head and said, "No, it's too slow. Hurry up and start the work tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Peternian was a little confused.

There is still a long time before the new season, and there is still enough time. Is there any need to be so anxious?

"Yes, tomorrow." Yang Huan nodded confidently and said, "Call their person in charge now and tell them that construction must start tomorrow and that it must be completed as soon as possible."

Peter Nian thought that Master Huan was being too anxious.

But soon, he sensed a strange smell from Master Huan's words.

At this point, Mr. Baldhead couldn't help but change his doubts into admiration.

"Richard, this matter must not be allowed to be messed up by others like that"

In the elevator going down from the eighth floor to the first floor, Manchester United CEO David Gill was talking very confidently with the Premier League CEO, Richard Cudmore.

"Southampton for Blackpool? It's amazing they could come up with that idea"

Scudmore also smiled bitterly, "You know how difficult this is."

David Gill certainly knew this, but he knew even more clearly that Manchester United should not get too involved.

Manchester United has its own interests to fight for, and it would be inappropriate for them to get too deeply involved.

In David Gill's view, the best solution is to lift the ban on jersey advertising.

"I believe you can handle it well," David Gill patted Schudmore on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Skudmore smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's easy for you to talk."

But who took the initiative to stir up this matter? And who exaggerated it before?

Aren’t they all Manchester United?

Now that things have gotten to this point, do you think I can solve it?

What does it mean?

If you can't solve the problem, you're going to get me out of office?

I made one million pounds from you, is it easy for me?

But Scudmore could only keep these words to himself, there were many things he really couldn't say.

Just as the two walked out of the elevator side by side and entered the hotel lobby, they heard a cry of surprise coming from the lobby.

"Southampton is leaving the Premier League?"

"Is this true? This can't be true?"

"Why? Why does Southampton want to quit the Premier League?"

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't they finally make it to the Premier League from League One? Why would they quit?"

"I heard that you had already started discussing Southampton during the last Chairman's Summit. Now Southampton has just been promoted to the Premier League, but suddenly announced its withdrawal. Could it be that..."

Both Schudmore and David Gill were startled.

When I looked out again, I saw Newcastle's big-mouthed chairman Ashley talking nonsense to the reporters.

Looking at the shocked expressions on the reporters' faces, it goes without saying that the fat guy must have told everyone what happened at the Chairman's Summit.

Aren't you deliberately making the already muddy water even more muddy?

"It's over, it's over"

Skudmore was angry and took two steps forward.

"Scudmore is coming"

When the reporters saw him, they were suddenly in an uproar. They left Ashley behind and surrounded him.

"Mr. Scudmore, I heard that Southampton announced its withdrawal from the Premier League. Is that true?"

"Did the other 19 Premier League teams jointly coerce Southampton, so the Saints decided to withdraw?"

"The Saints' sudden withdrawal from the Premier League has never happened before. Will it affect the negotiations for the Premier League's broadcasting rights? What impact will it have on the new Premier League season?"

"Mr. Scudmore, do you admit that in the Premier League, traditional top teams are suspected of teaming up to suppress upstarts?"

David Gill, who followed closely behind, suddenly changed color when he heard these questions.

Damn, these reporters are too good at association and imagination, aren’t they?

Our old-established wealthy families join forces to suppress the upstarts?

Is this necessary?

Do Southampton have this strength?

But this kind of thing is really hard to answer. If you are not careful, the situation will get worse.

"I'm sorry, my journalist friends, the only thing I can say now is that everything is still under discussion. Southampton has not said anything about withdrawing from the Premier League, nor has it submitted any written explanation. All the talk about Southampton withdrawing from the Premier League is groundless speculation."

The reporters below were suddenly in an uproar.

Ashley on the side immediately became indignant and was about to raise his voice to defend himself again.

But his assistant Derek Lambiase secretly pulled his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

He originally disagreed with his boss's approach, which made him make enemies for no reason.

But that's all I have to say. Let's just leave now.

Ashley snorted coldly and turned away.

At the moment he was about to leave, he heard Skudmore's statement.

"We, the Premier League, will consider the overall interests of the 20 Premier League teams and play a fair and just role within the league. Once there is progress, we will inform everyone as soon as possible."

"At the same time, we would like to ask all Premier League fans to rest assured that no matter what happens, it will not affect the normal operation of the Premier League. This is our promise to all Premier League fans around the world."

Are you kidding? If it really affects the new season, the good situation that the Premier League has worked so hard to create will be ruined.

Judging from the current situation, the Premier League has indeed occupied the throne and crown of the world's top league.

But it's not that there are no competitors.

Although Serie A is in decline, La Liga is still strong, the Bundesliga has also performed well in recent years, and Ligue 1 is not far behind. Once the Premier League makes a stupid mistake, it will inevitably lead to the loss of its advantage.

By that time, the Premier League will not be far from decline.

However, it is obvious that Scudmore's refutation and defense failed to stop the spread of the news.

When reporters and major news websites released the news of Southampton's withdrawal from the Premier League, the first thing that went viral was the entire British Internet.

Almost the entire UK, from top to bottom, was shocked by the news.

Who is Southampton?

Last season, the Premier League was even the last flag for British football to defend its dignity.

Without Southampton, how could there be the Europa League championship?

"Revenge, this must be revenge"

"That group of big clubs saw that Southampton was in the limelight last season, so they joined forces to suppress the Saints."

"It is understandable that Premier League teams are afraid of Southampton, because the emergence of Southampton threatens the interests of almost all Premier League teams, including Champions League qualification, Europa League qualification and relegation, which has never happened in the history of the Premier League."

"Oh my God, just because of this, they are going to join forces to suppress the Saints?"

"That's right, it's too outrageous. If that's the case, they might as well just cancel the Premier League promotion and relegation system. What else is there to do?"

"These big clubs are only good at bullying in their own backyard. Last season, they were beaten like dogs in the European competition. In the end, they relied on Southampton to hold on. Now, as soon as the incident is over, they are settling scores immediately."

"It's really unfair for a Premier League team to do this."

"Without the Saints, the new Premier League season will once again become a game for the big clubs"

"Isn't this what they want?"

"That's right, how can Arsenal stay in the top four every year? If Southampton is there, can the Gunners stay in the top four? Humph"

"And Chelsea, a team defeated by the Saints, they also hope that the Saints will withdraw from the Premier League."

"Don't mention it. A friend of mine who is a journalist said that Abramovich suppressed the Saints to death at the meeting."

"As a die-hard fan of Chelsea, I must speak up for the Saints and become a fan from now on."

"Looking at the top teams in the Premier League, which one has not been beaten by the Saints?"

"When the Premier League teams were struggling in Europe last season, these big clubs disappeared, but now they are showing off again."

"There is no reason to support the Saints, just withdraw, we won't play in the Premier League anymore"

"Yes, I won't die if I don't play in the Premier League"

"Support withdrawal"
