In the conference room, except for the representatives of the three clubs Ajax, Eindhoven, and Porto who pretended to be calm, but felt a little panic or even frightened inside, other representatives present showed excitement, as if they were about to taste an unprecedented feast. !
Club representatives who know what is about to happen do not think that participating in this meeting is helping Millwall." Top novel, 2+3wx
Just how bad are things at Millwall?
It’s not that bad actually!
As long as they lower their heads and surrender to UEFA, will UEFA be stupid enough to reject Millwall?
Everything is for profit, long-term stability, and economic guarantee for establishing a strong and everlasting football empire in their respective countries!
Everyone was seated, and Aldrich began to speak loudly.
"For a long time, the clubs you represent here have been the core strength of European football. No need to be modest, we are European football in the eyes of the world! Without us, European football has no past, no present, and no future! We are committed to building the best The top competitions are also working tirelessly within their respective clubs to build the team into the most eye-catching and strongest team on the planet! In view of the history of European football in the past ten years, and the future order under the current system Various factors that people are worried about, today, we are sitting here, we are here to let European football return to the hands of its owner, yes, it is our own hands!"
"Today, we are going to establish the European Elite Club Alliance here, and then we will form a brand-new European competition ourselves! First of all, I will introduce the benefits and profit distribution principles brought by this event. If you are not interested in participating, you can leave at any time!"
Aldrich took a folder from the staff behind him. Then a staff member held a thick stack of folders and distributed one to each attendee.
Aldridge pulled out one of the pieces of paper and said loudly: "A higher overall profit distribution than before! It is 4.69 times higher than the overall profit distribution to the club in the 2006-2007 Champions League season! And we are a minority, with 32 players in the Champions League. There are less than 20 teams here, so what we actually distribute is even higher!"
The club representatives present were shocked!
Is this a concept?
In the past, the benefits that wealthy clubs derived from the Champions League in a season were only tens of millions. This does not include the club's own operating income on match days.
Now, if calculated at 5 times, the income that the top giants get from the European war in a season may exceed the 200 million euro mark!
This is almost equal to the overall income of the ten relegation teams in the top league!
And this is just the income from the European war.
Galliani licked his lips unconsciously, his mouth was quite dry.
He has the same idea as many club representatives here: let alone 5 times the revenue, even 3 times, this is enough to give the club a completely new look!
Such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Valencia, Dortmund and other clubs that need huge economic income to turn around the club's finances. At this moment, they are no longer tempted. Instead, they are determined to join no matter what!
Aldridge pulled out another piece of paper and showed it to everyone, saying: "We are a European giant. We always spend sky-high prices to bring in stars. But when the stars get injured when they participate in international competitions, we suffer losses. No one will protect us. That's right. Fifa and UEFA have now signed an agreement with us, but that agreement is simply ridiculous! Two hundred million euros? F! We buy a star for at least 30 million, and the annual salary is at least 6 million. In order to take care of the whole of Europe, those 2 One billion euros sounds like a lot, but the protection is like a drop in the bucket. Now, we are independent! We protect our own interests! All members of our European Elite League will receive at least a total of 400 million euros in player injury protection compensation every season. ! As long as the player is injured in our own competition, the club will be compensated! Of course, this compensation will vary according to the value of the star, but the minimum is 500,000 euros, even if the player is an unknown player."
After hearing this clause, representatives from wealthy clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid agreed with it because they have many stars!
Of course, this also contradicts the agreement provided by UEFA and FIFA to G14!
Aldrich finally pulled out another piece of paper and said: "We will give 25% of the overall revenue to UEFA, allowing UEFA to become one of the organizers of the event."
Aldrich did not state this explicitly.
But everyone here understood it tacitly.
No matter how this league operates, it is impossible to completely abandon UEFA!
Just like the Premier League is independent, but it still needs to be supervised by the FA!
But in terms of interests, the FA has no management authority over the Premier League!
They cannot directly interfere with the profit distribution principles of the Bundesliga and Serie A like the German Football Association or the Italian Football Association.
Now the situation is about to be reversed!
UEFA used to not only account for the lion's share of revenue, but also had absolute dominance.
Now, the European elite leagues account for the majority of the revenue, and UEFA is just a participating manager, doing some hard work. The actual planning and decision-making power for the competition will be controlled by the league itself.
Beckenbauer appeared in the meeting, and everyone knew that the political landscape of European football was about to experience an earthquake!
As smart as the club representatives here are, they can already predict that when this alliance is established and finally announced to the public, UEFA will be on the verge of collapse. At that time, Beckenbauer will take the conditions set by this alliance.
Go to UEFA and usurp the throne!
Yes, this is rebellion!
Compared with UEFA's past revenue, there will definitely be a decline in the future, but it will not be so low that it is difficult to survive.
This reshuffle, or what we call the revolution of European giants, actually turns European football from a "hodgepodge" back to its original nature, into a real war of championship giants!
The purest football!
No political factors involved.
Beckenbauer is not worried about the current situation. In fact, a considerable part of UEFA's financial revenue has been eliminated from the funds used for "poverty alleviation". The benefit distribution plan provided by the European elite league is now more attractive than before.
many.
In order to gain the support of the numerous "weak football countries" in Europe, Platini not only gave them Champions League places, but also tried every means to allow these small country champion teams to play "group stage tours" in the Champions League in March. He would also directly send football teams to these countries.
Money similar to the "Football Development Fund".
However, the Football Association is like a crow in the world. Who knows whether the money will be used for the development of football.
Beckenbauer is a defender of traditional football values and has no favorable impression of the egalitarianism advocated by Platini. When he returns to UEFA to reverse chaos, at best he will not be able to dominate the wealthy clubs in terms of status as before.
.But at the very least, there won’t be too many problems with business operations, and he plans to focus on the European Cup, a UEFA project, which cannot be separated from the support of European giants.
This is a rough introduction to the new profit distribution of European events. It is actually not complicated.
The league takes 75% and UEFA takes 25%. Of course, UEFA is also responsible for the organization, management and coordination of the event, and the operating costs are not low.
Of the 75%, most is given to the club every season. A small part is used as a guarantee fund.
The most important part of profit distribution has been introduced, and then there was a heated discussion about the competition system of the competition and the specific distribution principles corresponding to the wealthy clubs themselves.
Representatives of the three clubs Ajax, Eindhoven and Porto did not participate in the discussion. At this link, representatives of each giant are fighting for every inch of land, and they do not have much say. On the contrary, they can’t wait to feed back the news to Let the owners and the board of directors of your own club make the decision!
This is completely different from the plan before coming here!
I originally came here to make some soy sauce and then go home, but now, a leading brother has risen up and promised to live a prosperous life by following along. Are we rebelling now or not?
In terms of the planning of the competition system, Aldridge’s attitude is very determined!
"It is impossible to completely become a league! Impossible! If it becomes a league completely, the basis of our survival, the local league, this base camp may be completely destroyed in ten or twenty years! We are first of all England, Germany, Italy, etc. Wait for the local clubs, and then the European giants!"
In the original idea of the European Super League, Edwards' dream was this: simply stop playing the Premier League! Europe gathers 20 giants, and let's play a 38-round European Super League!
There are big problems with this plan!
Clubs rooted in the local countries cannot do without the support of local fans and huge influence in the local market, even giant clubs are no exception!
Secondly, even if the European giants form the most dazzling competition, they must avoid excessively frequent battles.
Although there is a saying that if Manchester United and Real Madrid play two games every season, people will lose interest in their games after a few years.
This statement has certain theoretical support: aesthetic fatigue.
But it is incorrect to put it in the field of football.
It has been n years since the Milan derby, n years since the England derby, and the Spanish derby is becoming more and more popular than before!
Aesthetic fatigue?
There is no such thing as fatigue in football!
Because even if they are two identical teams, every time they meet, the story that happens in the game will always be unpredictable!
The more top-level a team is, the higher the possibility of unpredictable changes, and the more the direction and ending of the game will be beyond everyone's imagination and fascinating!
And there is only one situation that will make outside fans uninterested!
Team strength!
This is the essence.
Just like with the decline of Serie A, the attention of Milan Derby has declined. It is not because everyone is tired of the encounter between these two teams, nor is it because everyone can guess the result and is too lazy to watch the process. It is just because of one thing: these two teams are no longer strong. !
Therefore, as long as the European Elite League ensures that the team itself is highly competitive, even if the giants meet every season, the attention they receive will not decrease!
But it is not possible to play in the league, but also to avoid excessive encounters. This is a more realistic consideration. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
