For Christina's endorsement, the referee committee naturally can't help but come up with a charter, after all, with Christina, the first person to eat crabs, then other referees will definitely have such opportunities to get commercial endorsements, and for referees who need to maintain fairness, this money is probably really difficult to get!

After all, if the referee's sponsor is also a sports giant like Adidas, Nike, Puma, or a predator like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, then if the referee and the player have the same sponsor and endorsement products, then the fairness of the referee will inevitably be questioned!

In fact, football has a lot of exposure in Europe. All the things about football, including coaches, players and players' wives, are the darlings of the media, think of how many paparazzi in England alone rely on football to feed!

Football has become a gold-absorbing industry in Europe, covering sports, finance, heavy industries such as steel and cement, light industry represented by the food industry, as well as horticulture and planting, and all aspects of football-related industries generate various incomes every year are not tens of millions, hundreds of millions, but billions, tens of billions.

And the referee will also appear for every game. Therefore, the referee's appearance rate is also very high.

In fact, the merchant has long been eyeing the referee team. It's just that how to position the referee and how to let the referee endorse the advertisement, many businesses have not found a way. Therefore, the referee has not yet got a piece of the pie in the wave of football commercialization.

But there have been a lot of referees who have tried this. None of them want to see the big cake after the commercialization of football, where all the other people divide it, and the referee can't share it.

Envy and jealousy?

That's for sure. Referees are not a noble group, they are also a group of ordinary people. They also need to live. When they only have 20,000 or 30,000 euros, the players can easily earn millions.

Now the referee's income has started to increase, and he has started to earn seventy or eighty thousand euros. However, Collina, who has an endorsement contract, began to exceed 200,000 euros, and soon his annual income may be 300,000 euros or 400,000 euros. Or even millions of euros in the future.

How can everyone not envy no one and not be disgusted with money.

So Philip Tang convened a meeting of the referees committee to discuss the issue, and in fact Philip Tang was supportive, opening by saying: "The income of our referees is not proportional to the pressure we are under." I think it's a good thing to have the ability to get commercial endorsements. Of course, we, as referees, also need to pay attention to avoiding suspicion. So I think there should be some restrictions on the referee's endorsement. ”

And as the biggest candidate for the next chief referee, Neil . Barry immediately chimed in

"We can determine the scope of the referee's endorsement to ensure fairness. For example, sports giants like Nike and Adidas, they are able to influence all aspects. It's not that we don't believe in the professional ethics of referees, but in order to avoid suspicion, even if the referee is an endorsement, we must avoid the kind of products that are closely related to the club and the player. But there are other inconsequential things that I don't think we need to be too strict. ”

This is really an effort to succeed the chief referee.

It won't be too extreme, and all aspects of opinion should be considered.

"I also think the referee Barry is right. Whether in Spain or Italy, the referee can shoot commercials selectively. There is nothing wrong with this reading, and no one has stipulated that the referee cannot shoot a commercial. As long as you avoid some sensitive advertising endorsements, I think it's normal for referees to shoot commercials. ”

Pol also came up in support.

Soon a lot of referees were supportive. In fact, they are all very jealous of Jack now, after all, Jack has a super endorsement. 110,000 pounds a year, what a high income.

They all want to.

After all, why do coaches and players make a lot of money, and our referees' income is here one by one. Everyone wants to get rich.

Therefore, almost all referees supported it.

Philip Don concluded: "Good. In principle, we believe that the referee has the right to speak for him. Let's talk about some of the products that can't be endorsed. ”

The decision of the adjudication committee was finally announced:

In principle, referees also have the right to participate in endorsements, so it is not illegal for Christina's endorsement contract to comply with relevant regulations, but in order to standardize the order of endorsements and prevent disputes, it is stipulated that firstly, it is not allowed to have the same sponsors as players and coaches, and secondly, it is not allowed to participate in the endorsement of sports products, and there are also categories of endorsed goods!

This endorsement storm finally has its answer, and Christina, who has been off for more than a month, is going to officiate the game again, and there will be no more moths in the future!

Next, Cristina will not officiate the league, but the League Cup, unlike the old FA Cup, is a knockout football competition hosted by the English Football League, the first of which was held in 1961. The League Cup is open to only 90 Premier League and English Football League members, with the winner qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.

Although the status is not as good as the FA Cup, the status of the English League Cup is also very important, as the only event in which all professional clubs participate, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool and other Premier League powerhouses, as well as Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United and other old clubs to help, because the Anglo-African League semi-professional clubs are not allowed to participate, the quality of the League Cup should be higher than that of the FA Cup!

And Christina has to enforce the law on the one side that has the giant Liverpool!
