Arthur had to plan ahead, Blackburn couldn't have built a new stadium with a high specification in a year, and Arthur's goal was to be the most advanced five-star stadium in the world, so it would have taken longer to complete. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, even though there might be labor pains, Arthur still decided to bite the bullet and go for it!

Mensa Bangsu and Monchi and other club executives exchanged words with each other, and then Mensa Bangsu sighed and said: "Arthur, I have to say that your reasons have convinced us, but we have another concern, that is, where will the funds for the construction of the new stadium come from? ”

Arthur motioned to his personal secretary, Abby, to hand the documents to Mensa Bangsu and the others, and said, "This is our plan for a new stadium. The investment budget is between 250 million pounds and 300 million pounds, the club will invest 10 million pounds in the early stage, and I will personally contribute 90 million pounds, and the rest of the entire loan will start before the end of this year, and strive to complete the construction within three to five years. ”

Suddenly has to take about 300 million pounds, that is, at least 400 million US dollars, to build the stadium, even Arthur, who is now worth a billion dollars, can't bear it at all, even if he comes up with 90 million pounds, he already has to scrape together.

Arthur didn't want to take advantage of Blackburn's share financing, so he had to borrow money from the bank.

Although Blackburn Rovers themselves are worth less than £200 million, the players they have are worth a fortune!

A year or two ago, Blackburn had gone to the bank for a loan, and it was impossible to borrow more than £100 million, even if Jack Walker had come forward, and the major banks would have refused unless he had used his steel company as collateral.

But this summer is different, the overall valuation of Blackburn's first-team players has far exceeded 100 million pounds, plus Blackburn and Arthur themselves were able to invest 100 million pounds in the early stage, so the bank is naturally willing to sign the agreement, and it is welcome with both hands.

However, these banks will not directly receive the remaining 200 million pounds, but will allocate funds little by little according to the progress of the project, and if Blackburn is unable to repay the loan in the middle of the process, the follow-up funds will be terminated, and Arthur will also lose Blackburn and can only file for bankruptcy.

With this decision, Arthur gambled everything on his own.

He can't do it without building a new stadium, and it is cheaper to build early than later, and the results are faster.

If Blackburn Rovers encounter financial pressure to build a stadium when the Premier League completely enters the capital era, I am afraid that Blackburn will no longer have the possibility of turning over.

However, in the face of a loan of at least $200 million from the bank, where will Blackburn's repayment funds come from?

In addition to the various bonuses of the game, the broadcast share of the event, and the development of the club's business, there is only one way left to sell players.

Blackburn Rovers have earned fifteen million from selling players this summer, and they are all marginal people who have failed to compete in the team and have to leave.

Next summer, Blackburn Rovers may have more players than just the fringes of the team, and perhaps for a variety of reasons and temptations, many of the team's main players will seek to develop at another club.

However, in Arthur's view, in addition to Ibrahimovic + Lampard + Alonso + Carvalho and Stamm, the central axis cannot be moved, there are also Duff, who was born in the club's academy, and Drogba, who has not yet played a high price.

Moreover, Arthur clearly remembers that in his previous life, it was next season that Abu began to set off a real golden storm in the Premier League, and the Blackburn Rovers player with the glory of the Premier League title will definitely be fired to a high price.

So, Arthur is not easy at all, but it is this pressure that makes him full of motivation and passion for the future for a long time to come.

Mensa Bangsu and others discussed for a while, and after the vast majority of people had been persuaded by Arthur, the rest of the people did not object to Arthur's mind, and finally voted by a show of hands to successfully approve Arthur's new stadium plan.

After a unanimous result from Blackburn's hierarchy, their next move was swift.

Just over a week later, Arthur has already signed his own name and submitted the application document to the city of Blackburn, an important and substantial step in the new stadium plan.

And the second step of Blackburn's new stadium was also quick and fruitful.

Next Monday, Arthur will hold an in-depth dialogue with the city of Blackburn to formally begin negotiations on the acquisition of land for the World Expo. Considering the influence of Blackburn Rovers in Blackburn City, and the inextricable connection between the owners of the land for Blackburn's new stadium and the Walker family, the probability of Blackburn getting the long-dreamed "homestead" is quite high.

Planning details for Blackburn's new stadium have also emerged, and while the construction of the new stadium is still being tendered, the new football temple is expected to cover an area of 120,000 square meters, with a capacity of about 55,000 seats, which can be expanded to 60,000 if needed.

In addition to building car parks, shopping malls and entertainment venues, Arthur also personally borrowed £100 million from banks to build a five-star hotel.

According to estimates, if the negotiations are successfully completed, Blackburn's new stadium could officially start construction as early as mid-2003, and if all goes well, the new home could be moved into in the 2007-08 season.

However, with the Walker family and Blackburn Rovers having a huge influence in Blackburn City, Blackburn Rovers had officially acquired the site near the Blackburn suburbs in just five working days, which was a solid first step towards the construction of a new stadium.

The second step for Blackburn's new stadium didn't have to wait long, and in mid-December, Blackburn announced the tender results for the new stadium.

After a two-month tender process, Blackburn Rovers announced that the design of the new course would be undertaken by Populous.

Populous is well-known in the industry, with Arsenal's upcoming Emirates Stadium being the brainchild, and Arthur knows that "in the future" they will also be responsible for the London Bowl, the main venue for the London Olympics, and the new Wembley Stadium.

The stadium designed by Populous is similar to Arthur, as it is almost identical to the new stadium designed by Populous for Tottenham Hotspur in the future.

It was only after discovering that Populous' plan for a new stadium was similar to the one they had built for Tottenham a decade later that Arthur came up with the idea and made his own personal requests, as well as changes that incorporated Blackburn's local characteristics.

The new £280 million stadium has a capacity of 56,000 seats, dedicated horse racing facilities and the largest single-storey grandstand in the UK. The new platform will offer the 'Blackburn Experience' – a permanent visitor centre and approach centre that includes an interactive museum documenting the club's history.

The expanded public space includes multi-purpose sports areas, a café, and dedicated events and community programs managed by the Blackburn Foundation in Tottenham. The Skywalk takes visitors to the top of the course and offers an unobstructed view of the city of Black. There will also be a building dedicated to extreme sports enthusiasts.

The ambitious development also includes a 579-unit new home, including affordable housing designed by Morrison Architects.

Christopher-Lee, senior principal at Populous, said of the stadium's design: "The new Blackburn Rovers marks the design of a new generation of stadiums: one that offers an unparalleled experience for all fans, embodies the essence of citizenship and community pride, but most importantly creates the most intense and atmospheric place to watch football. ”

"The design of the seating bowl creates an intimate relationship between the players and the spectators. The 17,000-seat single-storey grandstand, a tribute to traditional English football, will be the largest single-storey grandstand in the UK and will be able to drive the intense atmosphere at Blackburn Rovers.

After finalizing the new stadium plan, Blackburn submitted the project to the city of Blackburn for approval, and again got the approval of the mayor of Blackburn for the meeting in the first time.

On the first working day after the New Year's holiday, Arthur went to the city of Blackburn to discuss the plan for a new stadium with the mayor of Blackburn.

In the afternoon, Arthur was interviewed by the media with Blackburn City Mayor Wiggins.

"Mayor Wiggins, has the plan for a new stadium at Blackburn Rovers been passed?" This is the most focused issue in the media.

"We're excited to see the plan reach approval." "Not only is this a new stadium, it's also bringing much-needed jobs and an economic boost, and football will help Blackburn City get more attention on the world stage," Wiggins said. ”

Arthur smiled: "It was a positive meeting, we looked back at what Blackburn Rovers have achieved in recent years and it went very well. We both know the importance of the new course and I'm very happy to see that everything is going its way. We're going to build our new stadium, it's a rational decision and we're going to follow the trend. ”

"Chairman Najack, it is reported that your bank loan has been put in place. So, when will you break ground on your new stadium? The questioner was a young female reporter with blonde hair.

"Oh, miss, first of all I want to say that you are really beautiful!" Arthur's answer made the atmosphere of the scene into a hilarious atmosphere, "Your news is very accurate, the first funds of the bank loan have been disbursed. Everything is now going very well and the ground will be broken in March this year. ”

"Mr. President, what do you think about Blackburn's first two winless games in the second stage of the Champions League group stage, only finishing third in the group, and it is difficult to qualify?"
