Why is the Premier League burning money?

When does the Premier League burn money?

With the ownership of Liverpool, the greatest club in English history, held by American tycoons, the Premier League is no longer the European second league when it was founded. In the past, many fans didn't like watching the Premier League and didn't understand it. Because watching football fly from one side of the stadium to the other, the players turned upside down, and the broadcast footage was very different from Serie A, where China fans first came into contact. The Premier League should not be popular. However, it is such a league, and the broadcasting rights can be sold for 350 million pounds!

Many people accuse Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich of burning money in the Premier League, but in fact this is a mistake for him. As early as Leeds United was known as the "Young Guards", money burning in the Premier League actually began. At that time, the world football was still in a bubble economy. Looking at Lazio, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Real Madrid, the scale of burning money in Leeds is not "crazy" at all. However, it is a huge sum of money to put the funds invested by Leeds into today's collective shrinking football market. Abramovich's biggest mistake was to play at the past price when the ball market was depressed. Your Abramovich is worth over a million pounds. Buy whoever you want, and it is not a problem to buy all Premier League clubs. But others don't have money, that's strange. People don't hate you because you beat the beloved players of other clubs with money!

So Chelsea became a public enemy, but they had a good CEO Kenyon and a very attractive coach Mourinho, so they actually achieved good results in the fierce battle. In 2003-04, roman abramovich just took the helm. The coach at that time was Ranieri, a tinker. The old man held a good hand and let Chelsea win the runner-up in the league and the semi-finals in the Champions League.

However, seeing the unbeaten victory of Arsenal, the arch-enemy in the same city, Abramovich was distressed, so he got Mourinho who needed a big tree to show himself. Chelsea started a crazy journey. Chelsea's two wins in the League, one semi-final, one in the top 16 of the Champions League, plus a League Cup, have become more and more influential, which is a historic breakthrough.

Watching Chelsea's record soar, other giants began to envy. The unique broadcast mode and fans of the Premier League are the key to maintaining the attendance rate of the League and an important weight to attract foreign investment. Glazer signed a debt to Manchester United, and together with the two compatriots who entered Anfield this time, the richest American capital in the world has been integrated into the richest league in the world. Chelsea only won the league title once in the past, and immediately became a European powerhouse after burning money. Aren't other giants jealous? Of course I'm jealous Liverpool's past record is not good, let alone in the transfer window. Benitez loved Simao for two seasons, but the club just couldn't come up with 20 million euros and finally bought a banner cheaply. This club has no money, so it cannot compete with other clubs. Arsenal dare to win Walcott with 6.5438+0.3 million pounds, and Chelsea dare to take Manchester United to court for Mikel. Why can't Liverpool show Chelsea's courage to rob people?

The weekly salary of 654.38+03,000 pounds brought Ballack to Stamford Bridge, and maybe Liverpool will also make a weekly salary of 654.38+05,000 pounds in the future. Watching other giants buy people to raise their salaries one by one, Arsenal, which has been operating well, had to start throwing money, first to keep Henry at a sky-high price, and then to sell veterans. In the thrifty Wenger's view, Ljungberg's 75,000 pounds a week is a high salary, while Fabregas' 40,000 pounds a week is the normal core player level. But you Arsenal have no money and others have money, and they can give you a salary of more than 6,543,800 pounds a week. If the player loves money very much, you can't keep it if you want.

When Abramovich first arrived at Chelsea, he immediately raised the players' salaries. Parker, who sits on the bench at Chelsea, earns 70 thousand pounds a week, while Pires, Arsenal's unbeaten main force in 49 games, earns only 50 thousand pounds a week. Ashley cole is clamoring for a transfer because he thinks his salary is too low compared with other international players. It is really too low. Cole's weekly salary was only10.5 million pounds before the transfer door. Getting Chelsea is really hilarious. Now Cole's weekly salary of 75,000 pounds is really comfortable, and the highest price Arsenal can offer is 35,000 pounds.

Players in wealthy clubs are overpaid, but their performance may not be worthy of the salary. Kaka got much less money in Milan than Sheva Barak, and 10% of Kaka's annual income was donated to charity, but people were still happy. As Wenger said before Anelka moved to Real Madrid: "You can earn enough money to live. Why do you need so much money? "

The influx of foreign coaches and players has gradually improved the style of play of Arsenal and Liverpool, and the two teams have gradually become mainland teams in Europe. But other teams are still in the traditional British style: emphasizing physical confrontation, speed and strength, which is the so-called tough guy style. However, in today's world football, this style of play is really different and old-fashioned. Look at England's performance in the world series, and you will know why there are only Walcott in Arsenal and Gerrard and Crouch in Liverpool.

The money of fans is the main factor that determines the sky-high price of Premier League. After all, people earn pounds, while continental Europeans earn euros. But the asking price of the Premier League is outrageous. The level and appreciation of your Premier League are not as good as those of the Champions League. Why charge the same price as others?

Perhaps the English people have the dream of making their own league the first in the world, and the desire to let all the world's famous hotels come to Britain. But what about your national football? Eriksson scratched his head. The World Cup only brought four strikers. They are embarrassed because there are so few strikers in England. The top scorer in the Premier League in recent years is either Henry or Ruud van Nistelrooy. What about the England striker? It goes back to Shearer, who has retired for seven years!

The current Premier League not only expands the popularity of its own leagues and clubs, but also makes wedding dresses for others.

England's Fabregas and Ronaldinho were eliminated on penalties in the World Cup. Aren't they all young talents trained by the Premier League? Let's take a look at the current talent situation in England. Wright phillips, an international player, wastes time on Chelsea's bench ... that's the power of burning money.

At that time, Real Madrid brought the bubble economy of football to the extreme, and Zidane's sky-high price has never been broken. The current Premier League is like the European continent that burned money crazily in those days. The bubble will eventually burst. Premier League, when will your money burn? !
