Chapter 807: Premier League Bald Strong

It’s time for the Premier League Chairman’s Summit again!

In the high-end conference room on the eighth floor of the Landmark Hotel in London, senior executives from 20 Premier League teams gathered together. The scene was quite lively and everyone was quite polite to each other.

After all, anyone who walks out from here is a well-known figure outside.

As in previous years, at the chairman's summit at the beginning of each season, three old players leave and three new players come in.

The three teams that were relegated last season were Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff.

It should be said that Fulham's relegation is a pity. This West London team is not bad in strength and has potential, but it is indeed regrettable that they were relegated.

However, this is a bargain for Southampton.

Because Fulham was forced to cut its budget after being relegated, Southampton took advantage of the situation and poached several outstanding youth training talents from Fulham's youth training camp.

In the past few years, Fulham's youth training has been very good. The talented forward Patrick Roberts, who shines in Southampton's youth training camp, is from Fulham's youth training camp.

Since the English Football Association and the Premier League officially promoted the youth training reform of the Glorious Revolution, Southampton has collected more data on England's local youth training players. Among them, Fulham has two or three young players who are valued by Southampton.

Southampton's youth team did not disappoint, and last season they participated in the English League Three for the first time, finishing first in the league and being successfully promoted. In the new season they will enter the English League Two, which is the fourth-tier league in England.

The Saints youth team is also the only Premier League youth team to emerge from the English League Three.

This also allowed everyone to see that the Saints youth team was outstanding and that Yang Huan's continuous and persistent investment over the past few years was worthy of their efforts.

The youth team has made it to the English Football League Two, which has undoubtedly greatly increased the appeal of the youth team.

Therefore, this summer, Southampton spent millions of pounds not only from Fulham, but also from some other teams in England to introduce a group of outstanding young players in order to further enhance the competitiveness of the youth team.

Because, after entering the new season, Azpilicueta will go to Tottenham Hotspur, and young players Luke Shaw, Chambers and Prowse will all enter the first team. If the youth team does not strengthen its recruitment, it may be relegated.

The reason for promoting these three young players to the first team is not only because of their outstanding performance in the English League Three, but also because they have indeed met the requirements of the first team and are able to play in the games.

Otherwise, Southampton will consider letting them continue to stay in the youth team to play in the English League Two, or simply loan them out to level up like Januzaj.

The metabolism process of Southampton's lineup is not loud, but it has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

This was also intentional by the Saints. After all, too much noise could easily bring pressure to the team.

Just like the forward line, Ibrahimovic and Drogba left, and Harry Kane and Martial came. If Southampton was more powerful, fans and media would compare the two young players with Ibrahimovic and Drogba.

Isn't this just throwing a burden onto the two young players for no reason?

As for the midfield, Modric is about to leave the team. Fabregas called Yang Huan before and made it clear that he will do his best to meet Southampton's requirements. He hopes to reach the peak of his career in Southampton.

After all, he is only twenty-seven years old, which is the golden age for a professional player, isn't it?

But anyway, if Fabregas is compared to Modric, there is no need for that, right?

Precisely because of this consideration, Southampton is quite low-key in the transfer market. Even if it is reported by the media, most of the news is about poaching, especially during the World Cup, when many players in the team performed well and attracted the attention of many teams, so naturally there was more news.

To put it bluntly, Southampton no longer needs to rely on these things for hype.

In the meeting room, although Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff left, Leicester City, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers came.

Interestingly, the owner of Queens Park Rangers is also an Asian, the president of Malaysia Airlines.

All the people present were famous figures. As soon as they met, they borrowed the relationship of football to introduce themselves to each other and then naturally started chatting.

As the most popular team in Europe, Peter Kenyon undoubtedly became the focus of the conference room.

In addition to Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur and Mubarak of Manchester City, who have close contacts with each other on a daily basis, senior executives of teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have also come together, forming an independent small circle.

The top executives of other Premier League teams either came over or chatted in groups of three or four.

"Peter, where is Master Huan? Why hasn't he come yet?" Mubarak asked with a smile.

It seems that he cares about Young Master Huan quite a lot.

"It should be here soon. Didn't Hamad go to pick him up at the airport?" Peter Kenyon knew what was going on and smiled.

Daniel Levi nodded, "Yeah, it should be soon."

Now in the entire Premier League Chairman’s Summit, everyone knows that Hamad is Young Master Huan’s follower and follows Young Master Huan’s lead.

Mubarak did not say anything more, and turned to look at Peter Kenyon, "Peter, why haven't you made any moves this year? Last season, you won the Premier League championship and received nearly 100 million pounds. In addition, you won the Champions League. You are rich now, but why don't you seem to make much moves?"

Although no one knows how much benefit Southampton will get from these two championships, the preliminary estimate is that it should be around 150 million pounds, but this is just the bonus and share.

Just like the Champions League, if sponsorship and match-day income are included, Southampton’s total revenue from this event is estimated to be more than 100 million pounds, and this is still the revenue received, and the potential value in the future is immeasurable.

Now, Southampton has started negotiating new sponsorship contracts.

It is obvious that the price is going to increase!

Just thinking about it makes me envious.

According to current external estimates, Southampton's financial revenue last season should have exceeded that of Real Madrid.

But the saints did not announce the exact number, and no one knows.

Peter Kenyon shook his head and smiled, "It's not that we haven't made any moves, we just haven't announced it yet."

"Oh? Who was introduced?" Mubarak asked with interest.

Judging from the current situation in the Premier League, next season will still be a championship battle between Southampton and Manchester City.

As the chairman of Manchester City, he must be concerned about his competitors, right?

"We brought in Harry Kane from Tottenham, Anthony Martial from Monaco..."

Mubarak laughed when he heard this, "Come on, these two are unknown young players, okay?"

"What about Fabregas?"

"Fabregas?" Mubarak was a little moved. "You mean Fabregas from Barcelona?"

Peter Kenyon raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It should be announced in the next two days."

Mubarak's expression suddenly changed.

Originally, Modric was going to transfer, and Manchester City thought that Southampton's midfield would be affected, but now with the addition of Fabregas, the overall strength has been strengthened.

It seems that the management of Southampton is really keeping calm!

"In addition to Fabregas, we have another major transfer that has been basically finalized, but it is not time to announce it yet!"

At this point, Peter Kenyon couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"So, it's not us who are silent, but you. The noise you make is too small!"

So far, Manchester City has decided to bring in Sagna from Arsenal on a free transfer and Lampard from Chelsea, as well as other signings.

But these two transfers pale in comparison to Southampton's Fabregas and another legendary blockbuster transfer.

Mubarak frowned, but Daniel Levy pointed into the distance with amusement.

"Peter, no wonder Abramovich is always glaring at you. It turns out you stole Fabregas from them. I'm afraid he wants to kill you now!"

Peter Kenyon also nodded with a smile, "You know what? We are suffering for you!"

"Suffered for us?" Daniel Levy was stunned. Could we not talk like that?

"Chelsea performed poorly last season and are planning to make a big signing this season to strengthen their strength and return to the semi-finals. We don't care, but what about you? Master Huan just wants to protect you. So, Chelsea set their sights on Fabregas, so we snatched Fabregas away. They set their sights on Pedro, so we took Pedro away as well!"

"Tell me, if this isn't taking the blame for you, then what is it?"

Daniel Levy was defeated immediately.

When did Peter Kenyon become as shameless as Master Huan?

It's obviously you who want to strengthen your own strength, so you compete with others, right?

“Well, don’t say I didn’t remind you, Chelsea is now keeping an eye on Everton’s young defender Stones and Stoke City’s goalkeeper Begovic, you guys can do whatever you want!”

Peter Kenyon's words immediately made Daniel Levy's heart move.

Among the current Premier League powerhouses, Southampton and Manchester City have firmly secured the top four spots in the league, while teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United will compete for the remaining two spots.

As a competitor, anything that can weaken Chelsea will be beneficial to Tottenham.

Besides, isn’t Tottenham Hotspur also strengthening its team lineup now?

Defenders and goalkeepers, this is exactly what Tottenham Hotspur needs.

"You two local tycoons, you have plenty of money anyway, so just keep your eyes on Chelsea. Whoever they take a fancy to, you poach them. I don't believe it. If we compare wealth, can Abramovich be richer than you?"

Daniel Levy and Mubarak looked at each other and saw the helpless smile in each other's eyes.

What kind of boss you have, what kind of subordinates you will get.

Only someone like Master Huan could lead a subordinate like Peter Kenyon.

Is this still the polite Bald Qiang from the Premier League?

Just when they were gathered together and joking, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and they saw Yang Huan and Hamad talking and laughing, walking into the conference room side by side.

Although Young Master Huan arrived late, the people in the conference room had no grudges at all and immediately went to greet him.

Everton owner Bill Kenwright, who had been chatting with Abramovich on the side, immediately apologized, left Abramovich aside, and went up to greet Yang.

This made Abramovich standing there, feeling extremely embarrassed.

It's really not right to go forward, nor is it right to sit down.

Looking at Yang Huan being polite to everyone, Abramovich glared with his eyes as if he was about to spit fire.

Sooner or later I will make sure you look good!

Just wait and see!
