The same place, but already different people.

Although last time there was also Paul. Walker, but it's Jack. Walker dominated. It's only half a year, it should be said that it is less than half a year, and the personnel is no longer there.

After George came to this world, he appreciated and supported George's most Jack. Walker, however, is already dead. Now Blackburn's new chairman is the current Paul. Walker.

Paul. Walker's appointment with George this time was Jack half a year ago. Where Walker last saw George.

"George, congratulations."

Paul. Walker's face looked a lot better. A month agoJack. During Walker's funeral, Paul's expression was still dark. Today, Paul's expression has come out of the grief of that time.

Time is indeed the best thing.

A month is not a long time, but it is not short.

"Thank you, Paul. This is an honor for all of us. ”

When George came in, Paul and Williams were already waiting for George. But it seems that they have a good conversation with each other, and the two seem to have a good conversation.

"George, my father asked you the same question last time. Do you have any plans for next season? ”

Hearing Paul ask him, George muttered for a moment. Although George has some plans in mind, Paul is now George's new boss. George couldn't figure out Paul's last name, so he wondered how to answer.

Paul saw George's appearance and said softly: "George, although I am the president of the club for the first time. But the rules of this line are known. I didn't want to interfere in the internal affairs of the team, I just wanted to know some of the plans for next season. In this way, I can cooperate accordingly according to your ideas. ”

Hearing Paul's words, most of George's worries disappeared.

As a head coach, George's main concern is not whether the owner will throw money or whether he will make other important moves. George's biggest concern is whether the boss will interfere with his authority in the team.

As long as the owner doesn't interfere with the team's construction and doesn't interfere with George's affairs within the team, then everything else is easy to say.

"Paul, the age structure of the squad at the moment is very reasonable. Now is the time for the team to do the results. So keep the squad we have and add one or two reinforcements and we will definitely be able to do better in Europe next season. ”

"At the moment I'm targeting only one player. That's Tottenham's Campbell, who is a free agent this summer. I've already been in contact with him, and with a little more effort I should be able to take it down. ”

Both Paul and Williams were delighted to hear George's words.

They're all people who have been in English football and certainly understand Campbell's weight. Among Blackburn's current players, only Blanco's fame can compare to Campbell when it was introduced. But Blanco was too old at the time, and he was already thirty-five years old.

But Campbell is different.

Campbell turned 27 in September. He is also the main central defender of England and is very famous in world football.

Being able to bring in such players is definitely an unimaginable benefit to the club's influence.

"Yes, George. The father has agreed to £20 million in funding, which he says also includes an increase in the salaries of the club's players. But I've been looking at the club's finances lately because we've done really well in the Champions League this season, so the club is very financially well-funded. ”

"So I decided to give you all the 20 million pounds as transfer funds."

Paul was generous. Directly transferred 20 million pounds to George as a transfer fee for the summer transfer.

George was stunned, then looked at Paul and then at Williams. George is a head coach who doesn't know much about the club's finances. I only know that Blackburn has a good income this season.

Seeing George's appearance, Williams explained on the side.

'George, our club has been in very good shape this season. There is a lot of income and a lot of profits. So increasing the wages of the players, the club can afford it. And this summer, there are also some sponsors whose contracts are expiring. We are already in talks with other sponsors and, if successful, will add almost £20 million a year. ”

Williams spoke with a high spirit.

In the past, Blackburn's chest advertisement was only £1.1 million a year. For Williams, this kind of advertising contract is the same as not. However, because of the rise of Blackburn's results in the past two years, this time the new signing will have a sponsorship fee of more than 6 million pounds a year.

This is something that Williams is very happy about.

George nodded. The club is in a surplus financially and George is certainly happy. If Blake could have been self-sufficient, the club would have been able to continue to grow even without Paul's blood.

"Thank you Paul, then."

Paul shook his head.

"George, you know what? We Blackburn Rovers already have everything we need to be a giant. We have a shabby history and are one of only three Premier League clubs to win the Premier League. Like Arsenal, we have won two Premier League titles. ”

"As you said, the age structure of our squad is very reasonable. There is still a lot of time to go to the peak, so it seems that our future results are also guaranteed. If there are achievements, then there will be sponsorship and income. If you have money and achievements, you can become a wealthy family. ”

Seeing that Paul was so confident, George did not refute.

Giants, Blackburn Rovers are really hard. In fact, the biggest obstacle to Blackburn becoming a wealthy family is that Blackburn is too small and has too few populations. More importantly, of course, Blackburn is not a wealthy city.

Preston is the richest of the people in Lancashire. Blackburn, on the other hand, was much richer than Burnley, but much poorer than other cities in England. This is the factor that restricts Blackburn's development in the first place.

Unless there is a tycoon like Abu who continues to invest in Blackburn from now on. In that case, Blackburn could really become a giant. But...... "George, we at Blackburn already have it all. There is only one thing, he is restricting the club from moving towards the big club. ”

Paul confidently held out a finger. "That's the stadium."

George didn't know what Paul meant. So listening quietly, the moment he heard the pitch, George somewhat understood Paul's thoughts. Did Paul want to build a new stadium?

"Stadium?"

"Yes, George. I talked to John and we thought that only with a modern stadium could we really become a big club. A new stadium will definitely increase our club's income significantly. ”

"As long as you have money, then everything is easy to do."

Paul stood up as if to point out the country. And it looks very exciting.

"Paul, it takes a lot of money to build a stadium, right? You ......"

Paul smiled and shook his head when he heard George's words.

"George, we're going to build the stadium, of course it can't be me or the club. Because we don't have that financial capacity, I'm already looking for an agency with John to analyze. Let's see how many sources of financing we have. Only when the source of funding is determined will it begin. ”

"And it will take at least a year for this plan to be implemented. If it's a long time, it could be two or three years. And once the stadium is built, it may take two or three years. Therefore, George, if he really wants to complete this plan, he needs to have a guaranteed team result. ”

George looked at Paul, not knowing what to say.

Jack. Walker also thought about building a new stadium, but due to financial pressure, he only expanded Ewood Park. But now his son Paul. Walker, it seems, is far more ambitious than he is.

Although George is not quite sure what the financial requirements will be for the construction of a new stadium in Blackburn.

But as a former Arsenal fan, George knows how Arsenal lives for a stadium. Arsene Wenger has been described as a miser, and Arsenal's turnover in and out of the past few years has been negative since the new stadium was built.

And for a new stadium, Arsenal has always had an unwritten rule. That is, the player's weekly salary does not exceed 100,000 pounds.

Do you have to go through such a period of time?

George didn't know how to answer Paul.

But when you think about it, once the new stadium is built, the benefits for Blackburn Rovers are clear. Now Blackburn's annual home income can only exceed 10 million pounds.

But when the new stadium is built, don't talk about some other related income. Home ticket revenue alone can be more than £20 million, or more. In addition, if the Champions League results are good, the income from Champions League tickets will also be a lot.

Coupled with the team's rising results and a little higher ticket prices, it will not be difficult to exceed 30 million or 40 million pounds in the future.

For a small team like Blackburn, £10 million or 20 million is already a very good income.

"Paul, it's too early to say anything. If I can keep the squad stable, I can guarantee results in the next three or four years. Every year you can enter the Champions League, every year you can appear in the group stage of the Champions League. That's the limit I can guarantee. ”

George did not say for or against Paul's plan. And George was in no position to oppose the plan. Since Paul promised not to interfere in the affairs of the team, then the affairs of the club's top management, George should not interfere either.

All George can do is guarantee his results for the next few years.

Paul was delighted to hear George's words.

"Yes, George. That's it, as long as we work together happily, then among the future European giants, there will be Blackburn's name. ”

George looked at Paul, and only one thought rose in his mind. Paul was really ambitious, but he didn't know what kind of impact his ambition would have on Blackburn.
