Hollywood New Century - Chapter 402
When I came to London from Paris, just after the 32nd round of the Premier League, West Ham was third, one point behind Arsenal in second place and only one more than Chelsea in fourth place. point.
In the previous English League Cup, West Ham United only entered the semi-finals and was eliminated by Arsenal; however, in the FA Cup semi-final just held, West Ham United’s semi-final opponent was Stoke City, Was slaughtered by West Ham United 5-0.
The FA Cup final will be played by West Ham United and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on 5.14.
In any case, it is true that West Ham United has undergone qualitative changes this year. It is also consolation to win the FA Cup after many years without a championship; and it is not a big problem for West Ham United to enter the top four in the league, except for Manchester United, which is ranked first. In addition to a few points ahead, the second, third and fourth places are only one point apart after all, and the fifth Manchester City is also in good form recently, only five points away from the fourth place, and the sixth place Tonum Hotspur is only one point away. Manchester City in fifth place with two points.
The current Rush Green base training has changed a lot, and the huge training base is the base camp of West Ham United.
“Chelsea announced the arrival of Torres on the last day of the winter transfer deadline, the £50m winter bid!” Simon listens to Karen Brady’s report in the president’s office at Rush Green.
“Liverpool was originally interested in Suarez, but unfortunately we took it first. Selling Torres has a great impact on them! Liverpool bought British local center Andy Carroll from Newcastle for 35 million pounds, Liverpool’s most expensive help,” Karen Brady continued,
“It seems that Liverpool are also pursuing Bayern Munich’s Gomes, but the asking price is high, they gave up!”
“Andy Carroll?” Simon was also sighing in his heart. If it weren’t for himself, this big parallel importer would join West Ham United next year.
“Liverpool, there should be a risk of relegation this year, Andy Carroll’s performance, they are all regretful!” Simon is completely gloating.
Karen Brady smiled, Liverpool just changed a new owner, New England Sports still has some ability, but John Henry’s financial resources are too far from Simon Pike’s level.
“Now the club is expanding rapidly in terms of network operations. The club’s official video on youtu, official Twitter account, and Sina Weibo official account in China are all operated by special personnel,” Karen Brady thought for a while and then asked,
“Do we need to have our own official TV station? Some game footage, highlights, interviews with the club’s players in training and things like that.”
“Official TV?” Simon shook his head after thinking for a while.
“It doesn’t make much sense. The official TV stations of the clubs established before, such as Middlesbrough and Arsenal, have all stopped broadcasting because of their low ratings;”
“Now Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have their own official TV stations. In the future, the days of pay TV will be difficult. The broadcast rights of the games are sold to TV stations by the Premier League. Even if they have their own TV stations, they can only broadcast Take a look at the video of the game, the interview video, and we West Ham are not a giant like Manchester United or Liverpool, nor do we have any classic games or characters.”
Besides, with Manchester United’s audience, the annual revenue of Manchester United’s official TV station MUTV is also several million pounds.
“Then, we still focus on online video. We will continue to strengthen the promotion of global exclusive cooperation and regional cooperation.” The team’s performance has improved and grown.
“It’s still a stadium issue. The current Upton Park does not meet our positioning at all.” Simon is really helpless about the small Upton Park stadium. With a capacity of more than 35,000, it is unlikely to help the club to capture income.
“We’ve been working **** this, we’ve stepped up our lobbying with the London City Council, and with the support of the district council where the Olympia Stadium is located, we still have a good chance of winning,” explained Karen Brady.
Simon nodded, and now what West Ham needs is results, and then comprehensive marketing and commercial promotion.
At night, in the car park of the Rush Green training base, Simon drove his McLaren MP4 in London to Baker Street near Regent’s Park.
In a fine Italian restaurant on Baker Street, Sarah Bradna had arrived early to wait for Simon.
“I always thought Baker Street really had 221-B, but I didn’t expect it to be the Sherlock Holmes room number coined by Arthur Conan Doyle.” Maybe it’s because the BBC’s “Sherlock” broadcast last year was so famous, Sarah La Bradna came to London Baker Street and found that there were only 1-42 on the east side and 44-85 on the west side, so she laughed.
“Didn’t they build a Sherlock Holmes museum at 221-B Baker Street 20 years ago? That can be comforting,” Simon said with a smile after wiping his mouth.
After dinner, Sarah Bradna took Simon back to her home in the Notting Hill area, the northwest corner of Hyde Park, a place with some literary and exotic flavors.
In the garage, Simon was leaning on the chair in the driver’s seat, “Whoa!”
“Honey, just had dinner?”
Sarah Bradna raised her head, sat on the co-pilot again, swiped her hair, and said after a while, “Who asked you not to come to London to see me for so long!”
“Ah, I was in London in January, and it’s only April,” Simon said, opening the door and getting out of the car with Sarah Bradner into the house.
Of course, this house in Notting Hill was also bought by Simon for Sarah Bradna, who came to London after graduating last year. For Sarah Bradna, who is only 23 years old, it seems a little bit. Far?
“Is it still accustomed to being alone in London?” Simon asked while sitting on the sofa when he came to the hall.
Sarah Bradner nodded, then smiled: “I’m very fulfilled now, with West Ham United’s media exchanges, as well as magazine fashion model shoots;”
“Also, every month I have time to go back to Germany, which is very convenient!”
Sarah Bradna, who is 180 in height, has a good figure of a model, otherwise Simon has known her for a few years and has never been separated.
“That’s good, let’s rest early, the space in the car just now is too small,” Simon said hotly, looking at Sarah Bradna.
“Well, I’m going to take a shower first!” Sarah Bradna gave an amorous look.
“Then, let’s go together!” Simon said and smiled and hugged the girl to the bathroom!
