Chapter 54: Grievances Never Before

The next day, the eyes of the entire English football media were focused on the Notts County club, and everyone was really surprised by Notts County's big deal.

Arsenal's new stadium has entered the stage of demolition of buildings, and their new stadium is the focus of attention in English football, and everyone knows that as long as Arsenal survives a few years of hard life, when the new stadium is completed, Arsenal is destined to benefit immensely in the future.

At this time, there was actually an English Second club that also announced that it would build a new stadium, although the investment was smaller than Arsenal's new stadium, but it still made everyone jaw-dropping.

The world economic environment is not good, which club has not begun to tighten the silver roots, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and live a budget-conscious life.

Who's kidding you!

Arsenal has borrowed more than 260 million pounds from six banks for the construction of a new stadium, which is the top giant in the Premier League.

But a second-division club in Notts County actually spent so much money to build a stadium by itself.

No one could figure out what was going on here, they didn't know what it was.

Just when the construction of the Notts County stadium was making a fuss in English football, some people began to use different perspectives to attract attention.

"In fact, everyone has been deceived by Notts County's shocking lies, and anyone who thinks that a League Two club's investment of 300 million pounds to build a stadium is a very funny thing, who would believe it! Thinking of the construction of the youth training base by the Notts County Club some time ago, we can boldly make a guess that there must be some ulterior exchange of interests in the future. ”

"According to people familiar with the matter, Notts County has close ties with a well-known Italian gangster group, as evidenced by their previous warm-up trip to Italy, and this seemingly amazing plan to build a stadium may be just a gimmick to help the gang launder money."

"The new stadium claims to have an investment of 300 million, but what if this plan is just to run out and blind everyone? Notts County are not going to build a new stadium, all they have to do is carve out a plot of land in the new academy base, build a small stadium, and rest the Meadow Lane stadium, so that everyone can be accounted for. ”

'Look, I've built a new stadium and the team has a home game, so that's what we're doing with £300 million. But in reality? I'm afraid I won't even need 50 million. ”

"Where does the rest of the money go?"

"Naturally, it flowed into the pockets of the gangsters!"

"Otherwise, how would Chairman Paves of Notts County explain where he got this money from!"

That's the fresh article from England's most notorious Sun, they don't care about how the new stadium in Notts County is, they just need to catch the reader's eye, and they don't care if what they say is true.

When David got the news, he was furious.

He always thought that these unscrupulous media should follow certain rules of the game even if they no longer have a bottom line, but now he finds that he is wrong, for the sake of sales, these people have done everything to stop.

When it comes to gangsters, naturally it won't be a trivial matter, if you don't clarify it quickly, Notts County will not be able to raise its head for many years in the future, and its reputation will be stinky, and no one will care about you.

Making his position clear to The Sun directly through a lawyer's letter, the ultimatum, was the last thing David did before completely tearing his face apart.

The meaning is also very simple, in response to the Sun's false report on Notts County, The Sun must publicly apologize to the Notts County Club in the newspaper and restore the reputation of Notts County, if it can't do so, then the next step will be a court summons.

It would be best if the other party could apologize, and David did not want to go to court unless it was absolutely necessary.

But the "Sun" doesn't seem to be talking at all, and there is no reaction after the lawyer's letter is sent, maybe for them, fabricating facts out of nothing is already a means for them to eat, and others like to sue them, anyway, they are used to it.

In desperation, David, who was angry, really entrusted a lawyer to conduct legal proceedings.

Although he knew that this was all about giving The Sun an opportunity to increase exposure and that it would not do Notts County any good, he had no choice but to go tough for the sake of the club's reputation.

At this time, he really felt a little helpless, although the "Sun" was only a well-selling newspaper in the UK, but behind it stood a behemoth.

News Corp., a media aircraft carrier created by Murdoch, is the world's largest and most international comprehensive media company.

In front of this kind of aircraft carrier giant ship that can grasp public opinion, Notts County may not even be a small sampan, and it is not qualified to wrestle with it at all.

This is the first time David feels aggrieved after being reborn, if he has a value not inferior to Murdoch, I'm afraid the "Sun" will not be so unscrupulous.

Made, the mountains and rivers meet, let's meet again one day!

David thought of the investment company he had established in the United States, and if nothing else, he would have become the richest person on the Forbes rich list in 10 years, and by that time, see who dares to underestimate him.

In order to deal with the rumors, David specially froze the funds in the bank and used the funds for special purposes, and Soriano is also contacting several well-known design companies and Huaxia's construction companies to break the rumors with practical actions.

At a time when Notts County have received unusual attention during this period, Notts County have also played two league games, and although they have not won two games, the result of one win and one draw is enough to keep Notts County leading the table.

The league has been played for 20 rounds, and Notts County is proud of the standings with 16 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 50 points. In second place are promoted Brighton, who are just three points clear of Notts County, and they are considered favourites for direct promotion if they can maintain that consistent form.

Third in the table is Notts County's new rivals Reading, who have sunk for a while after a full-fight in the third round of the league against Notts County, but have quickly regained their form and won a series of consecutive victories, overtaking Mansfield, who rely on a group of Italians to play the world, although they are already nine points clear of the top of the table.

Fourth place is Notts County's city rivals, Mansfield had a good start to the season, but as the league progressed, the Italian players seemed to have become familiar to other teams, shedding the veneer of mystery, and while the defense was still solid, the attack was severely limited, and there have been too many draws recently, and they have slipped from second place at the beginning of the season to fourth place, with a gap of 10 points from the top of the table.

In fact, both Reading and Mansfield have been deemed difficult to shake the possibility of direct promotion from Notts County and Brighton, and all they have to fight for is a promotion play-off spot, which may not be a difficult thing for them.
