Chapter 314: Straw

Two surprises just spotted in the stands make you want to keep going.

And the results did not disappoint.

In the first row of the stands in the middle of the stadium, a familiar face reappeared in the camera.

John Cavour!

Newcastle's current manager and the leader of the Premier League's 'Magpies'.

It's just that now this magpie is no longer the dominant magpie of the year, they have not been in Europe for many years in the Premier League club, although the fame is still there, but it has long been unworthy of the name.

Of course, the home team in the world's popular 'one-goal famous' movie is Newcastle, but unlike in the movie, Newcastle in reality is extremely embarrassing, in the Premier League they have been completely reduced to the middle position, not to mention the Champions League, even the Europa League They are not eligible to participate.

Sixth place in the Premier League is now a huge hurdle for them.

And the reason for his appearance is naturally self-evident.

Inspect the leaves and take the leaves.

Third, everyone silently read in their hearts, they had never looked forward to the scene of the game at halftime, and all the commentators did not explain the current situation of some players during the halftime as usual, they all began to talk about the origin of each manager and the current situation of the team.

After quoting the classics, they have analyzed the psychology of these well-known coaches.

But the audience didn't buy their account, they all scoffed at this kind of analysis, and explained something, even a fool knows their purpose.

Didn't you just use the leaf as a straw to save the team?

So the people in front of the TV were all clamoring for the screen to cut to the scene, they didn't want to see the commentator's old face, they couldn't wait to see if there would be anyone else in the game.

A game so mundane that it attracted three top-flight coaches, and the fans didn't know if they were negotiable, they just knew that the break of the game had become interesting.

And not only did they watch it themselves, but they also started calling their best friends and telling them about everything that was happening on the TV right now.

One to ten, ten to hundred.

More and more people are turning on their TVs to follow the game, and where there is no broadcast, they are starting to find relevant videos on the Internet.

Humans are curiosity-driven animals.

At this time, they were completely unconcerned about the results of the game, they were just waiting curiously.

Waiting for the fourth person to appear.

Again, they didn't have to wait long, the Ernst Abbe Stadium itself was not big, and the camera could take care of almost every corner with a casual sweep, and just five minutes after John Cavour was found, a fourth man finally appeared.

And the appearance of this person finally brought a wave of climax, and all the commentators and fans were stunned.

Robert Manich.

The head of the Blue Moon!

If in previous years, Manchester City was just a little-known team that was suppressed by Manchester United in the same city, then since 2007, Manchester City was injected by Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Manchester City began to buy strong players in a big way.

Roelano, Martin Petrov, Paojilov, Benjani Mwaruvari, Michael Pohl and others were all products of that time, but that wasn't the end of the story, as a larger consortium took over Manchester City in August 2008 after Thaksin Shinawatra was embroiled in Thailand and had to go into exile for a while.

Abu Dhabi Group!

The second largest consortium in the world after the Bank of Japan!

This is where Manchester City began to turn around.

Football is a rich man's game, although this is recognized by fans all over the world, but in the Premier League, this point is most thoroughly verified, because the Premier League clubs get a lot of broadcast fees, and the Premier League does the best in terms of business promotion, sponsors are also desperately throwing money at the team.

Here's a simple example.

The Premier League champions will receive more than £57 million in broadcast fees at the end of a season, while the bottom 1 team will also receive at least £37 million.

This year, due to the sky-high price of the Premier League's overseas broadcast rights, the total revenue from the broadcast fees for the three seasons reached 1.2 billion pounds.

As a result, each Premier League club will earn £5 million more in broadcast fees this season than they did last season.

In terms of total broadcast fee revenue, the Premier League has far surpassed other European leagues, currently 10 times that of the Bundesliga, 5 times that of Serie A, and 3 times that of La Liga.

On the other hand, the Premier League also has protections for teams that have been relegated.

Each relegated team will receive £16 million per year in compensation for the first two seasons of relegation, and they will still receive a huge £8 million per season in the third and fourth seasons.

Add to that the 37 million mentioned above, and just counting the TV broadcast share, and a worst-performing Premier League team can already get a whopping £85 million.

Add in the Premier League's rewards for winning and earning points, and that share would be more than £90 million.

What is this concept, which means that even if you are downgraded, you will still have a good income!

Therefore, with the support of these funds, the Premier League has spent more and more money over the years.

It's just that spending money is like this, once you get used to being lavish, it's very easy to be unable to take it, and that's the case in the Premier League, where sky-high transfer fees and sky-high wages appear one after another.

But even if it is inflated, but this also makes the rules in the Premier League simpler, that is, if you have more money, you will definitely buy good players, the whole Premier League is like a melting pot of world players, and the best players from all over the world are vying to pour here.

A team that selects players on the basis of descent like La Liga's Athletic Bilbao is simply not possible in the Premier League, where money has replaced all traditions, or money has become a tradition in the Premier League.

The Abu Dhabi Group has money, so Manchester City has money.

Manchester City has money, so Manchester City has good players.

So Manchester City can win the title.

It's a very simple logic, but it's also a weird logic.

But it is this logic that has made Manchester City completely appear in front of the world, and Manchester City's outstanding performance in the Premier League last year put them on the throne.

It's just that the crown of this king doesn't seem to be very stable, and Manchester City, which is full of confidence and ready to become famous in the Champions League, does not seem to be so smooth, especially the recent Manchester City dressing room incident has caused a lot of uproar, and Manchester City's players are just like rumors, the state has begun to be extremely unstable, and now not only the Champions League, Manchester City in the league seems to be blocked.

Robert Manich has already begun to be questioned by the club's hierarchy, and now that he is here, he speaks for himself.

He desperately needed to get out of this predicament, and Jena, there was only one person who could help him.

That's the leaf.
