The day after the Carabao Cup, the whole Notts County squad was on holiday, but David felt that he was born to work hard, because Soriano had already come to report to the club, and they had too many things to communicate.

"The construction of the team's academy has started and is expected to be completed by the end of this season, and you need to supervise and manage the construction of this project." In a high-end restaurant, David and Soriano talked while eating, not only for Soriano, but also for the handover and arrangement of work.

Soriano nodded, he had known this before, and he was very touched that David could trust him as a newcomer, not only to be the CEO of the team directly, but also to accept this kind of tens of millions of projects immediately.

"Of course, if it's just a small project, then it's definitely a shame to call you here, and I've decided to continue to invest £400 million into the team and start the construction of the new stadium immediately, with a view to being ready for use in the 03-04 season."

David said lightly as he put a steak into his mouth, as if he were not talking about the astronomical figure of £400 million, but just £4w.

Soriano almost bounced out of his position in shock, his eyes wide and staring at David as if he were looking at an alien creature.

Although he knew that David had some assets in his hands, and he had mentioned plans for a new stadium when he had invited him before, Soriano thought that this was only a long-term plan, and it was a matter of time when it could be implemented.

But now, David actually said that he would inject 400 million pounds to build a new stadium directly, and Soriano felt like he was joking.

Looking at Soriano's stunned expression, David also knew that he seemed to be a little shocked, but he didn't want to explain so much, after all, the money came from a bit weird.

"All the things for the new stadium are handed over to you, including the preliminary design, site selection, communication with the municipal department, and the builder, I hope you will find a powerful construction company from Huaxia, after all, we have a lot of time requirements, only Huaxia people can complete it with quality and quantity, and they care the most about this kind of foreign model project." David ignored Soriano's surprise and continued.

Soriano was in a daze for dinner, and even when he returned home, a few words kept running around his mind: training base, stadium, £400 million.

Of course, tonight David is just a preliminary communication with Soriano, these things are not a sentence or two can be made clearly, make a decision, of course, when it comes to player transfers, David can't hand it over to others, this is his only advantage as a reborn.

The next day, Soriano showed up early in David's office.

Surprisingly, both of them stayed in the office all morning and didn't come out.

As a result, a new version of the Notts Shires legend began to circulate among the Notts County Club staff again, different from the previous version of the main characters David and Loew, this time replaced by David and Soriano.

Of course, David didn't know that he had also become one of the protagonists of Loewfay's rumors, and if he did, he would probably have to carry out a rectification campaign within the club.

David and Soriano were at odds over the construction of the stadium, and after a preliminary understanding, the Spaniards felt that David's plan to build the stadium was somewhat unrealistic.

At the moment, it seems that the current capacity of the stadium at Meadow Lane is just right, and it will not be easy to maintain an attendance of 20,000 in League Two.

Even if Notts County can be promoted continuously, I am afraid that the rate of fan growth will not allow the team to have enough fans to sit in the stadium of 40,000 to 50,000 people in the first few seasons of the Premier League, you know, even in the Premier League, few teams have such attendance.

But David disagreed, because he knew that even if the players in the team were not famous now, after two seasons, they would probably be the biggest stars in football, and the attraction to fans would be absolutely fatal at that time.

Moreover, Nottinghamshire County has a fanatical enough atmosphere, even compared to the likes of London, and he is confident that he can quickly expand his fan base with the team's results guaranteed.

Even if the number of fans does not grow well, he is not willing to build a small stadium first and expand it when the capacity is not enough, which David has always stayed away from.

In the end, Soriano compromised, even though he was worried that the stadium atmosphere would not be enthusiastic enough due to the lack of fans after the team moved into the new stadium, but after all, David is a person who pays for it, and there is no cure for being rich and capricious.

With a Premier League game in the middle of next week, Loew did not make a big rotation in the league at the weekend.

The English Championship is a cup competition in the third and fourth divisions of the FA, and it is a relatively reliable honor for the teams in the two lower leagues, after all, the League Cup and FA Cup are strong and competitive, or the English Championship is much less competitive.

But neither David nor Loew have the British Championship in mind.

Even if you win the British Championship, so what?

Have a hairy use?

Not being able to participate in European competitions, and not having much prize money, is nothing more than adding an inconsequential trophy to the team's honor room, which no one even cares about.

If you put too much energy into this kind of event, Loew must be in the head.

Therefore, Loew decided to put on the bench to continue to play a Premier League after playing in the 13th round of the league, and the club did not make performance requirements, but let the players do daily training in the form of games, so as not to consume too much physical energy.

It really doesn't matter if you win or lose, and even say that Loew really wants the team to be eliminated directly.

However, David was more extreme, and when he was training, he directly told Loew to give up the British Championship and let the reserve team or youth team go, and he only needed to lose.

This kind of low-level cup competition that makes David feel pain in the egg, let's stay away from it quickly.

Loew understands David's mentality very well, since the coach has this strange request, which happens to be in line with his own ideas, just let the reserves go.

As for what the game will look like, Loew doesn't care, even if he can advance from the first round, he will still send a reserve team to play in the following games, anyway, he has no expectations for this cup competition.

However, David knows that many fans have a lot of affection for this cup competition, and perhaps it is the only trophy that Notts County can hope to win in many years.
