Blackburn's new stadium was the subject of media coverage after the game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's really that Blackburn's new stadium is too luxurious. In England, it can be compared to Wembley Stadium, Cardiff Millennium Stadium and Old Trafford.

Jack. Walker Field is finally built.

If it were placed among the giants of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, and Milan, none of them would have such a big reaction. After all, the giants should have matching courts.

Like Liverpool now, Anfield Stadium is famous though.

But after all, the history is too long. The stadium can't keep up. No matter which way you look at it, it is already outdated. Fortunately, Liverpool's results have not been good in recent years, so they are not very conspicuous. If Liverpool's results in recent years have been the same as they were when they swept European football in the late 70s and early 80s, then the results do not match the pitch.

Liverpool's hierarchy has also begun planning to build a new stadium.

But Blackburn?

Although Blackburn has achieved quite well in the past ten years. It can be compared with those giants in Europe. But after all, it's only ten years. And the city of Blackburn is just too famous.

It is estimated that if there is no Blackburn Club's glory in recent years, many foreign fans still don't know where Blackburn is?

Therefore, for a hillbilly team like Blackburn, there is such a brilliant new stadium, and many people still speak sourly.

But George didn't have the energy to care about it.

Now George is in Paul's office.

Paul. Jack, Williams, and George sat together, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Paul, tell the truth. How much is the club's upcoming repayment? ”

George asked anxiously.

That's what George cares about most right now.

Although in the past two years, Blackburn has become more and more strapped in the transfer market. And because it happened to be the time for the old and the new to take over, Blackburn's results were not very good. There is no league title, no Champions League title.

But George has done a lot about the replacement of Blackburn.

What George wants most at this time is stability. It's Blackburn's stability.

Blackburn Rovers can now be said to have it all. With a luxury stadium of its own, there is a stable lineup. If anything, there has been a glorious history. The achievements of this decade have also become Blackburn's glorious history.

Now, as long as there is no turmoil at the club, George is confident that he will give Blackburn another chance to shine in the next few years.

As long as that's the case, in another ten years' time, who says Blackburn won't be able to squeeze into the ranks of Europe's giants?

But now there is a financial breakdown, and George can't help but pay attention to it.

Paul smiled at George's solemn expression.

"George, don't listen to the gossip outside. There is no problem with the club's finances, so you can rest assured that you can take the team to play. ”

Paul waved his hand indifferently.

Paul wasn't angry that George was meddling in the club's finances. Rather, he was unwilling to let George be distracted by this kind of thing.

"Paul, don't hide it. Let's talk about it, and let's discuss a solution together. ”

Paul glanced at Williams. Williams nodded slowly.

Paul pondered for a moment, then nodded his head as well.

Williams opened the door for Paul. "George, we have a loan for the construction of the stadium, which is a short-term loan. It's a five-year term, and this is the first year. The club doesn't have much money at the moment, but the amount that is due is £40 million. ”

"Forty million pounds?"

George frowned.

It's definitely not a small amount, but it's not a big amount either. Forty million pounds, Blackburn can definitely squeeze it out. But Blackburn couldn't squeeze it out. Because Blackburn has too many loans, it is necessary to keep a certain amount of cash to reassure other banks.

Therefore, there is a certain amount of cash in the club now, which seems to be their own money, but in fact it is money that cannot be used.

And George thought more.

This is a short-term loan. In other words, for five years in a row, Blackburn has to pay back the money non-stop.

George can imagine.

Paul and Williams must have wanted to use the development properties around the stadium to pay off the short-term loan. Then there's the original Ewood Park, which is Blackburn's busiest area. In Blackburn, it is considered the most expensive place to be in terms of land.

Paul and Williams prepare to build a building on the site of Ewood Park. After a few years, this is also an income.

Unfortunately, the current sales of the industry around the stadium are extremely unsatisfactory. I haven't been able to recover a little bit of money at all. The plan building in Ewood Park has not yet begun to be built.

That's why it's so difficult for Blackburn to fund now.

I paid it back this year, but what about next year? It will be returned next year, and there will be the year after.

"Paul ......"

Paul shook his head when he saw that George was about to speak.

"George, don't worry. It's not a big problem, we can solve it. Paul comforted George.

But George wasn't a child. Forty million pounds, not four thousand pounds. Where it is said to be solved, it can be solved.

"Paul, you don't have to coax me. If there's really no way, let's sell the players. ”

George gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

George hates selling players for money the most. But George finally spoke up. Forty million pounds, it's too hard for the club to come up with now. What is Blackburn most valuable right now?

In addition to the stadium, it is the star player of the team.

Over the years, there have been new and old replacements, and there are definitely a lot of good players on Blackburn's side. Needless to say, Alonso, Essien, Kaka, Ribery, Yang Feng in the midfield, as well as strikers Klose and Drogba, any of these people are thrown into the transfer market, and the starting price is about 30 million pounds.

In addition to them, McConn, Kompany, and Baines, who have grown rapidly in the backline, are now worth a lot.

McCone is already the main right-back of the Brazilian national team, and he is very strong. is even known as the world's No. 1 right-back, and his value is also rising.

And Kompany and Baines are young now. Kompany is twenty-one years old and Baines is only twenty-three years old, but they are already worth more than 10 million players.

What's Blackburn's fastest way to raise money right now?

That is to put players in the transfer market. Among Blackburn's current players, except for Van der Sar, Klose, Drogba, and Lucio, who are a little older, the rest of the players are all world-class stars in their playing years.

"No, absolutely not."

Before Williams could speak, Paul was already on his feet. Shook his head very firmly.

"George, I'll leave the team's business up to you. You don't have to worry about this money. I'll definitely figure it out. I've been dealing with my property in the United States lately, and I can afford 40 million pounds myself. ”

Seeing Paul's expression so firm, George couldn't say anything.

After a few digressions, George left Paul's office.

Looking at George's back, Williams came to Paul's side.

"Paul, George's approach is the best. As long as we sell a player, the club won't have any problems. Kaka, Ribery, Yang Feng, their current market prices are all above 40 million pounds. Even £50 million is not impossible. And as long as they flow into the market, those wealthy families will definitely have people to buy them. Real Madrid, Barcelona, they will be interested in them. ”

"It's the best and fastest way to do it. Paul, there is no way to do it. As long as we are financially better, we can support George again. ”

Williams persuaded Paul.

Although Blackburn has not had any honors in the past two years, there are still many good players under George's tutelage. Although the sale of the main core will have some impact on the team's results, it will be able to get through this difficult time.

Paul stood by the window and watched George leave. waited until he couldn't see George's back before turning around.

"John, it's all my fault that this situation is happening. If it weren't for the fact that the stall was too large, we wouldn't have to take out this kind of short-term loan. If it had been 10, 15, 20 years, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now. ”

"It's my fault. Blackburn's current roster was built single-handedly by George. I can't let George bear the consequences of my negligence, let Blackburn bear it. ”

When Paul said this, he lost the vigor of the past.

If George was here, he would have wondered. Because from the first time he met Paul, Paul was very ambitious. And every time I am full of confidence, I am optimistic about any problem. But now Paul is left with remorse.

"Paul, but ....... 40 million pounds, repayment date, there is not much time left. The club simply can't come up with the money. ”

Williams frowned deeply.

If there was a chance of a chance, Williams would not recommend selling players.

Because once a club sells players for money. Then it is easy to form an avalanche, especially affecting the self-confidence of the club players.

"John, don't be in a hurry. Didn't I say that? I'm dealing with my property in the United States right now, and I can still get 40 million pounds. ”

Williams looked at Paul closely.

Although Williams had not followed Paul before. It was because Paul became the owner of Blackburn that he followed Paul. Therefore, it is not very clear about Paul's specific net worth Williams, but Williams can roughly guess.

Paul started his business in the United States at an early age.

But Paul is definitely not the kind of person who has a net worth of hundreds of millions of pounds in the United States. If he really had so much money, Paul's surname would have begun to transform the club a long time ago. Nor will it be pushed to the point where it is now, with 40 million pounds.

40 million pounds, if not all of Paul's net worth in the United States, must be most of it.

Williams knew Paul was gambling with his life.

Williams looked at Paul with complicated eyes. Paul Bijack. Walker is bold and ambitious. It's a pity ...... "John, you must work hard next year." As long as the property around our stadium can be sold, we won't have a hard time funding. ”

Williams nodded heavily.
