Chapter 825

Looking at the history of England's top leagues, the establishment of the Premier League is undoubtedly an epoch-making change.

Premier League teams led by Manchester United and other giants rose up. With the strong support of Sky TV, they established the Premier League, completely kicked the FA away and completely got rid of restrictions. Since then, the Premier League has begun rapid development for twenty years.

In name, the Premier League is still under the jurisdiction of the FA, but in fact the operation and management rights belong to the Premier League.

Unlike the FA, which is high and considers itself an industry manager, the Premier League plays more the role of a butler.

The Premier League is composed of twenty Premier League teams. Although CEO Scudmore holds great power, he is more about benefiting twenty Premier League teams. He even has no power to express his opinions at the annual Premier League Presidents Summit or some major trade-offs that determine the development of the Premier League.

This is the biggest difference between the Premier League and the FA.

In fact, so many years have passed, the FA has always been jealous and hateful to the Premier League. On the one hand, he envies the other party for holding power and trading hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars every year. On the other hand, he resents the other party to replace it.

Therefore, over the years, the FA has been disgusting the Premier League in terms of its own three-point land, such as the referee, schedule, etc., but in terms of core and major interests, it has completely become useless.

It is precisely because of the precedents of the Premier League that the Football Association is very afraid of the professional leagues in the top leagues, and it can even be said to be suppressed.

Now, the Spanish Professional League is going to pull up the eighteen princes to rise up and cause a revolution. The Football Association is the number one obstacle in front of him. How to deal with him becomes the key to the success or failure of the revolution.

Spanish Football Association Chairman Bilar has a considerable influence in both Spanish football and Europe, and world football. He not only holds the Football Association, but also many key departments such as the referee committee, coaching committee and player committee.

If both sides really make a fuss, then the result will be a death-ending battle and no one will get any benefits.

The reason why Jose Luis and Javier Tebasse came to seek Gao Han's assistance is because they value Gao Han's huge influence in Spanish football and world football. Especially with the strong rise of the Spanish national team in recent years and the outstanding record of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Gao Han's position in Spain has been pushed to a very high position.

Even former national team chairman Aragones publicly admitted after winning the European Cup that Gao Han made great contributions to Spanish football and was the number one hero for Spain to win the European Cup.

This statement may be a bit over-reputable, but it also shows Gao Han's status in Spain.

This battle with the Football Association is not only a struggle for interests, but also a struggle for voice. Big people like Gao Han undoubtedly have a key role in controlling the current situation.

Originally, people like Gao Han often stayed away from this kind of battle of interests and maintained their lofty status. No matter who wins or loses, they had to respect him three points. But Gao Han had a Chinatown, which was completely different.

However, both of them knew that to convince Gao Han, they had to show their true abilities.

...

"Mr. Gao Han, I'm going to say that the Spanish economy has developed quite unhappy in recent years. The government is also very worried about this and has always hoped to find more new growth points."

As soon as Javier Tebasse said this, Gao Han immediately felt a sudden change in his heart and called out to himself.

"Prince Zapatro carried out a large-scale restructuring of government agencies last year, not only adding the third deputy prime minister position, but also directly elevated the Spanish Supreme Sports Council from the original jurisdiction of the education department to being directly led by the Prime Minister, and the President of the Supreme Council, Rissavicki, also serves as the Secretary of State for Sports."

Gao Han nodded, "I know this."

"Spain is a major sports country, the sports industry is the economic growth point that the government is very optimistic about, and the professional football industry is the focus of it. We all know that the operation of La Liga has been severely dragged down by the incompetence of the Football Association. The most obvious thing is the broadcasting rights. As the world's No. 1 league, we have many superstars, but our broadcasting rights revenue is far behind that of the Premier League."

"From 2010, the Premier League will officially start a new three-year broadcast contract. According to this new contract, our broadcast revenue in the next three years is only half of that of the Premier League, and it is 600 million euros less than them every year, but this is only a part of it."

"Even if the club is aside, TV broadcasters, advertisers, and a series of other supporting businesses extended by the broadcasting rights, as well as overseas copyright development, are quite amazing industrial chains, and the government attaches great importance to this."

Gao Han nodded repeatedly after hearing this and had to look at Javier Tebasse with admiration.

The vice chairman of the professional league seems to be deeply committed to the rules of struggle, and he is unswervingly standing on the side of the government and jointly forming pressure on the Spanish Football Association, which undoubtedly brings a turning point.

To be honest, any professional football insider will not have a good impression of the Football Association, because these institutions seem neutral on the surface, but in fact they are full of dark stories, just like Qatar has been operating the World Cup recently. I don’t know how many Mao Ni is. Even FIFA President Blatt even publicly stated that FIFA has independent of the power of the secular government and has a bit of a sense of being a country.

But if the professional league can obtain government support, as a domestic football association in Spain, I am afraid it will really have to submit.

To a certain extent, the interests of the government are consistent with the interests of professional leagues, that is, to make the professional football industry bigger. Once the industry becomes bigger, the government will have more taxes.

"Then you should have drafted a new allocation plan, right?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Javier Tebas nodded and said: "We decided to learn from the Premier League. Spain's domestic broadcasting rights revenue is mainly divided into two parts. Ninety percent is handed over to La Liga teams, and the remaining ten percent is distributed in the Spanish Second Division and the Spanish Football Association in a 6-to-4 ratio."

"Among the revenue of the La Liga team, 50% of the 20 teams are divided equally, 25% are divided according to the league ranking, and the last 25% are allocated according to the comprehensive assessment of broadcasting games, social influence and other aspects."

This plan is very similar to the distribution of revenue from broadcast rights in the Premier League, and after years of operation, the latter is basically considered relatively mature.

"What about the income from overseas broadcasting rights? It's also learning the Premier League?" Gao Han asked.

In this field, the Premier League adopts a nearly equal division method, which can greatly narrow the income gap between top teams and downstream teams.

"Yes, it's still sold uniformly and distributed equally."

Although this is just the preliminary plan given by Javier Tebasse, it has to be said that this plan is very attractive.

"Mr. Gao Han, you know, we currently only have Pioneer Media, one broadcaster. But if we sell the broadcast rights uniformly, it can attract other large broadcasters such as Sky TV, especially Middle East broadcasters who have been very keen on developing the European market in recent years. At that time, the broadcast fee income will also rise."

Gao Han agrees with Javier Tebasse's judgment that a unified sale can form a joint force. In the short term, Real Madrid and Barcelona may be affected slightly, but in the long run, the interests of the two giants will not be greatly lost.

Or it should be said that their biggest loss is that it is difficult to regard the other eighteen teams as their own ban. La Liga will emerge like the Premier League, which can greatly enhance the competitiveness of La Liga, which is somewhat unfavorable for the Spanish Super League two.

The biggest damage to this broadcasting plan is undoubtedly the interests of the Spanish Football Association. They will no longer be able to completely control the broadcasting rights and sponsors of the La Liga like they are now, and may even become completely useless. They will take a small part of their income every year to promote grassroots football, organize grassroots leagues, etc.

Because even the Spanish League Two is not managed by the Spanish Football Association.

Everyone present looked at Gao Han who was thinking intently, including Chinatown general manager Armando Marcos.

As a shrewd trader, the Portuguese knows more than anyone else what this means to Chinatown.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gao Han finally nodded slowly, "This plan is indeed feasible, but I don't think the Spanish Football Association will easily surrender. This will be a protracted war and requires protracted negotiations and negotiations. Don't forget the lessons learned from the past few failures."

The Spanish Football Association is not completely powerless to fight back. Bilar holds multiple organizations such as the referee committee, the player committee and the coaching committee. At that time, he calls up and directly demands a strike. What should he do?

"Mr. Gao Han, then what you mean is..."

"Build momentum first. It is the heyday of Spanish football. If there is no accident, Spain will still achieve good results in this year's World Cup, but the league's management is a mess. We must let everyone see the reasons clearly and then promote reform with reasonable grounds."

"At the same time, I think we must unite government departments and clubs to form a siege against the Football Association, actively lobbying the Player Committee, referee Committee and coaching committee to make them clear that the purpose of reform is not to weaken their interests, but on the contrary, reform is to enhance the interests of everyone, and the Premier League is the best example."

"A two-pronged approach will surely form a siege against the Football Association, and joint pressure will force Bilal to submit."

Everyone present nodded repeatedly when they heard this, Gao Han's words were indeed reasonable.

"But Bilal has long held important positions in UEFA and FIFA, and his connections are extraordinary. Will he invite FIFA and UEFA to intervene?" Hill asked worriedly.

"Intervention?" Gao Han sneered, "Why do they? The reason why FIFA and UEFA are so arrogant in professional football is because they never easily violate the interests of some major powers, but if they dare to blatantly intervene in the internal affairs of Spanish football, do you think they can get the advantage?"

"If they were just talking and fighting at that time, it would be irrelevant. If they really wanted to intervene, Bilar would die at the forefront. Not only did the Spanish domestic government not allow it, but fans in Spain would not allow this kind of thing to happen."

"What's more, their means are nothing more than to prevent the Spanish national team and club from participating in FIFA and UEFA events, but think about it, what would be the result if they did this?"

After hearing Gao Han's words, everyone felt enlightened and suddenly became enlightened.
