Chapter 230 Spanish football shock

After the British Sky TV representative announced the news, the chairman of various clubs immediately started to discuss it in a lively manner.

This is a big deal that concerns the revenue of each club’s TV broadcast.

The representative of Sky TV from the UK said it very clearly that they cooperated with Tagorevan Group and spent a total of 600 million euros to purchase the TV broadcast rights for La Liga. 600 million euros is not much, but what is worth pondering is the sentence "distributed to participating teams according to rankings". The meaning is very obvious. In other words, not all teams can participate in the La Liga.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that Sky TV in the UK does not buy all the TV broadcasts in La Liga, otherwise it will be impossible for Real Madrid and Barcelona to be without the conference now. Sky TV in the UK cannot do it at all, because Pro Radio and Real Madrid and Barcelona contracts will not end until the summer of 2013, and the contract with Valencia will not end until the summer of 2014. There are other teams, such as Real Sociedad, whose contracts will also be delayed until the summer of 2013. Since each club in La Liga discusses the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase all the TV broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase all the TV broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the right to broadcast the right to purchase the right to broadcast the

Now the British Sky TV wants to compete with Pro Radio and Television on TV, and only buys part of the TV broadcasting rights for La Liga in order to have the capital to compete with Pro Radio and Television in the Spanish football market.

The two TV media compete with each other and are what all Spanish clubs want to see.

Regardless of whether Sky TV can achieve its goal, all the La Liga club presidents present feel that the trip is worth it.

Next, we have to think carefully.

This is a matter of club income and a large part of the income.

There are not many TV broadcast contracts of 600 million euros, but in fact, there are not many clubs that can really sign. First of all, it is that you cannot have a long-term contract with Pro Radio and TV. In other words, only clubs that end next summer will be eligible to sign a contract with Sky TV.

This excludes four clubs - Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Real Sociedad.

"No wonder Atletico Madrid did not invite Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia presidents."

Many people suddenly realized.

It is understandable if we just negotiate the right to broadcast on TV, Real Madrid and Barcelona will no longer invite them, but Valencia is also the "third pole" of Spanish football, but it is not among the invitations. Many people were puzzled before, but now everyone knows it.

Real Sociedad President Apulibe became very embarrassed.

Apribe knew that the reason why Real Sociedad was invited was that although the TV broadcast contract between Real Sociedad and Pro Radio and Television did not end in 2013, Real Sociedad undoubtedly belongs to the category of small clubs in La Liga and is still a very powerful force. Even if they cannot participate in it, they are still in the same camp as the clubs present.

Apribe was just very upset!

Why sign such a long contract with pro radio and satellite TV?

Another important thing to cooperate with Sky TV in the UK is that you cannot be relegated to the Spanish Second Division next season.

Sky TV purchased the La Liga TV broadcast rights and would definitely not broadcast the Spanish Second Division games. If it is relegated to the Spanish Second Division contract, it will definitely not be able to be fulfilled.

Vallecano chairman Bresa asked the key questions, "What will happen if we work with Sky TV next season?"

Then he asked, "Will teams that are promoted next season in the Spanish Second Division will also participate in the TV broadcast share?"

Everyone else got serious.

This is a question that everyone is concerned about.

According to the explanation of the representative of Sky TV in the UK, the La Liga teams participating in the contract are between 13 and 16 teams, and the three additional teams are in the promotion and relegation quota.

If only 13 teams participate, each team will get an average of 46 million euros, which is almost equivalent to the profits that Atletico Madrid and Valencia get on pro radio and satellite TV every year, which is already quite considerable for many clubs.

For example, Sevilla.

The TV broadcasts that Sevilla received last season were only 21 million euros, while Villarreal was less than Sevilla, only 19 million euros. With their strength and ranking, no matter how bad they were, they could get an average, and they could get almost 50 million euros.

This is enough for the club to turn losses into profits.

If 16 teams participate, each team can get an average of 37.5 million euros, which doubles the increase in the number of TV broadcasting fees, which is completely acceptable, but no matter how much 46 million euros are, it is better.

The representative of Sky TV from the UK came up with a draft contract and handed it over to the club chairman and representatives present.

After that, everyone started to look carefully.

According to the provisions of this draft contract, as long as an agreement is reached, the relegated teams can get 5 million euros, which doesn't sound like a lot, but you should know that the broadcast contract signed for next season, in other words, the relegated clubs are not involved.

This 5 million euros is for nothing.

There are also clear regulations on the participation of the team upgraded next season, that is, the guaranteed 30 million euros. No matter how successful the team upgraded next season, they can only get 30 million euros in the contract. Suddenly, the chairman and representatives of the clubs present showed smiles on their faces, and they found a sense of superiority in the contract.

This drafted TV broadcast contract stipulates that each club will receive a TV broadcast share ranging from 65 million euros to 30 million euros. The specific share amount depends on the league ranking and the final accounting settlement, but the general amount will not be too different.

As long as you are in the top ten leagues, you will definitely get more than 40 million euros. The teams outside the top ten will have more than 30 million euros.

It is very important that the share of TV advertising does not include it.

The advertising revenue from TV broadcasting is also a big profit. For example, the advertising revenue obtained by Atletico Madrid from Pro Radio and Television last year was 9.6 million euros. The share of the British Sky TV station must be more, not less.

After reading the draft contract, everyone present has a clear concept. As long as you sign this contract and ensure that the league will not be relegated this year, the TV broadcasting share will reach at least 40 million euros next year.

Everyone present looked left and right, and they could not think of a reason to refuse.

Especially Chairman Sevilla and Villarreal, who suffered from unfair rights to broadcast television, decided to sign without thinking.

Atletico Madrid Club Ceo, who chaired the meeting later, stated, "We had no other way before, but now we have a new way out! We can win the best interests by cooperating with Sky TV in the UK! This is our interests, we need to win..."

Then Xiao Hill made a passionate speech, which made many people feel very excited.

The TV broadcast conference led by Atletico Madrid did not directly reach an agreement, but various clubs have stated that they would sign the contract and have also finalized the signing on January 1 next year.

The buffer period of more than ten days also allows each club to digest the latest news.

In fact, not all signing new contracts is beneficial, there are risks. The Spanish Football League and Pro Radio and Television cannot sit idly by and watch the British Sky TV and Tagorevan Group join forces to split the big cake broadcast by La Liga.

Pro Radio TV only has contracts with Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Real Sociedad. These four teams occupy more than half of the commercial value of the La Liga. However, if other teams cooperate with Sky TV in the UK, it means that they have no right to broadcast live games played at home. At that time, the interests of Pro Radio TV will be greatly damaged. At that time, not only Pro Radio TV, but the TV broadcast revenue of Real Madrid and Barcelona will also be greatly affected.

The Spanish Football League will not do this to happen.

When news that Sky TV was about to buy out the television broadcast rights of other La Liga teams came out, Spanish football ushered in a major earthquake, and this news occupied the homepage of almost all media before Christmas.

Clubs came forward to condemn the La Liga share system and supported the practice of Sky TV in the UK. Opponents also stood up to criticize the practices of other clubs.

The supporter said that—

"This is to protect the interests of their respective clubs!"

"There is more competition that will allow La Liga to develop! La Liga should have long ushered in a moment of breaking the monopoly!"

"We can look forward to the rise of various clubs in La Liga!"

"Spanish football ushers in a major reform! This is a football revolution that changes in a positive direction!"

Opponents are also very loud-

"This is split Spanish football!"

"In the future, I will have to watch La Liga on two TV stations?"

"Lapest TV broadcast, why do you need to cooperate with a British company? Live broadcast online is also sold to Tagorevan Group? It's incredible! Why don't you sell it directly to Atletico Madrid!"

"We want to defend the complete Spanish football!"

The big debate has begun.

The Spanish Football League will not use public opinion weapons alone. They quickly introduced policies in two days, prohibiting La Liga clubs from selling TV broadcast rights alone.

Unfortunately, no one bought their policies.

The Spanish Football League is not a Spanish government. They are a civilian group and serve the entire Spanish league. Otherwise, they would not be so inclined to Real Madrid and Barcelona because the two clubs can bring enough benefits.

If the Spanish Football League wants to pass a policy, it requires the consent of most professional clubs, and La Liga clubs are the top priority. It can be said that as long as a La Liga club does not agree, the new policy of the Spanish Football League will not be passed.

The policies they forcibly passed are not legally effective.

The Spanish Football League then joined forces with the Spanish Football Association to sue Sky TV and Tagorevan Group to prevent the two companies from cooperating to "split Spanish football".

Unfortunately, the Spanish government is not that efficient.

The Spanish government does not serve the Spanish Football League. If such a lawsuit is fought, it will take two or three months to prepare for it in advance. Even if the two sides confront each other in court, the Spanish Football League is unable to prevent other La Liga clubs from signing contracts with Sky TV in the UK. Moreover, according to professional lawyers' analysis, the Spanish Football League cannot win the lawsuit because there were no clear regulations in the past. Now it is almost impossible to issue new regulations to prevent it. At least before 2014, in other words, in the past two days, various clubs will sell the TV broadcast rights to whom. The Spanish Football League has no way to do it.

The only thing pro-Broadcasting and TV station can do is that they do not cooperate with Sky TV in business, and they can't do anything legally.

At this stage, it is difficult for the Spanish Football League to do anything because they are about to usher in the presidential election. The professional league is composed of La Liga 20 and Spanish Second Division 22 teams, and the chairmen of each club are members of the committee.

As the president of the Spanish Football League, Tebas definitely does not want to offend many La Liga clubs, because the election of the presidential election of the Spanish Football League requires the vote of the committee members, and the support of many La Liga clubs can almost determine the name of the next chairman.

But Tebass had no choice.

After this big news came out, he certainly had no hope of continuing to serve as the president of the Spanish Football League.

If other La Liga clubs have reached cooperation with Sky TV and Tagorevan Group, many La Liga clubs will definitely vote for Atletico Madrid to participate in the presidential election, because Atletico Madrid takes the lead and brings tangible benefits to other clubs.

On the contrary, Tebas prevented the agreement from reaching, and there was still a little chance.

At that time, if other clubs in La Liga want to increase their TV broadcast share, they will also depend on the face of the Spanish Football League.

For this opportunity, Tebas also wants to fight for it.

Amid the Spanish media and public opinion, the work of Atletico Madrid Club has not yet ended. It has to deal with winter transfer work before Christmas. The winter transfer window will be open in January, and many European media have begun to report on winter transfer news.

Atletico Madrid doesn't need to add any players.

The team's lineup is already very stable, and there are plenty of players on all fronts.

Wan Sheng considered to eliminate some players... (To be continued.)
