389 lofty ideal or whimsistic

Blackburn, really drunk.

The team is also drunk. From Scotland to Blackburn. During the celebration, almost everyone in Blackburn came out. The small town of 140,000 people is completely drunk at this time.

George is also drunk.

The players are also drunk.

In addition to cheering, cheering. Because this is the Champions League champion! This is the first Champions League champion in Blackburn's history!

From then on, Blackburn can also proudly brag with other clubs. We are also the club that has won the Champions League.

Blackburn's celebration lasted for three days and three nights.

But even so, Blackburn fans don't think it's enough. According to them, Blackburn should have celebrated for ten days and a half months. But George is willing, the club is willing, and the national team is unwilling.

These players are going to play in the World Cup with the national team.

They don't have that much time to stay in the club.

"What a pity. If there is no World Cup this year, we can go to Asia. At least you can earn millions of pounds. Paul. Walker shook his head, which was a pity.

Over the years, those big clubs have made money in Asia, Paul. Walker also wants to get a piece of the pie.

Especially Manchester United.

Manchester United has many fans in Asia, which makes Paul. Walker is very jealous.

With the wider and wider broadcast of the Premier League, the Premier League has become more and more influential in Asia. With the current development trend of the Premier League, the most influential league in Asia will definitely be the Premier League in a few years. With the Premier League championship of these two seasons and the Champions League championship this season, Blackburn has just caught up with the current strength of the Premier League, and his influence has also increased sharply.

Although it can't be compared with those European giants, it can't be compared with the strong teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League.

But the influence also follows these teams.

It can even be said that the number of fans has completely doubled. And it is not an ordinary growth, but a purely geometric growth. In this case, Paul. Of course, Walker also wants to think about the Asian market.

In fact, what European clubs want to open most is the North American market.

Because North America, especially the United States, is not only rich and rich. Unfortunately, the development of football in the United States is not going well. Therefore, everyone's eyes focused on Asia.

Asia, especially East Asia, has a large population. And although it is not as rich as North America, it is not poor at all. The number of people can be completely compensated. Therefore, the Asian market is a place where all clubs are greedy.

But George heard Paul. Walker's words are a little reluctant.

Although I was very impressed by Paul. Walker. Because although there are gold rush clubs in Asia, it has not yet formed a trend. It was not until Real Madrid's trip to Asia in 2003 that the gold rush from European clubs to Asia was completely opened.

I didn't think of Paul. Walker turned his eyes to Asia so quickly. This boy is still very smart.

But Paul is the president of the club and needs to consider the club's income. But George is the head coach, and he has to think more about the team. Going to Asia is actually not good for the team's summer training. But George did not object.

After all, Blackburn is a small club.

If you go to Asia, with the current popularity of Blackburn, you can really earn millions of pounds. This money is a lot of money for Blackburn. And this money is just a fee for playing a few games. If you add some other advertising sponsorship and other income, and the subsequent impact, even the income of tens of millions of pounds will be more than that.

Williams smiled beside him. Not this year, it can be next year.

"Ye-huh."

Paul. Walker nodded.

"Yes, George. Look, this is the club's idea of the stadium.

In fact, there is no need to discuss this kind of thing with the head coach. Unfortunately, the head coach in British football has a lot of power, and this is especially true in Blackburn. George has made a great contribution to Blackburn. With George's achievements now, George is the best coach in Blackburn's history.

So Paul. Walker can't ignore George either.

That's why I told George about the court.

George knows Paul this season. Walker has been busy with this matter. So I took it over and took a breath before I finished reading it.

I don't know whether to say Paul. What's good about Walker?

You should praise him for daring to act, praise his lofty ideals, praise him for his ambition, or laugh at his whimsically. This is a very grand stadium plan. You can know just by looking at his drawings that this is a modern football field.

But looking at his data, you are stunned.

Paul. The football stadium that Walker is going to build is a large stadium with a capacity of 80,000 people.

80,000 people, this kind of stadium is rare in England. Except for Wembley Stadium and Old Trafford Stadium, which club's stadium can accommodate 80,000 people? Including the prestigious Liverpool Anfield Stadium, Chelsea Stamford Bridge Stadium, Arsenal's Haibury Stadium, Newcastle's St. James' Park, Tottenham Hots White Hart Lane Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people.

The most of them is to accommodate about 50,000 people, which is already very good in England.

Even the new Arsenal stadium that is currently planned is a stadium with a capacity of 60,000 people.

How can Blackburne dare to build a stadium of 80,000 people?

And Paul. Walker not only wants to build a stadium for 80,000 people. He is planning. Even a piece of land was drawn around the court. The area of the land is very large, which is for various supporting measures after the construction of the stadium.

is really a very ambitious goal.

The big one made George almost dizzy. What kind of plan is this? It's simply outrageous.

According to this plan, it is estimated that a budget of 300 million pounds is also required. Three hundred million, Arsenal can make up for it with Haibury's apartment and amazing ticket revenue. What did Blackburn take back?

Not to mention the stadium of 80,000 people, it is also the stadium of 100,000 people. The ticket income is not as good as the ticket income of Haibri.

Besides, Arsenal's Haibury apartment is very valuable. But at Ewood Park in Blackburn, it's only a little more money to sell land and buildings.

George doesn't know much about business, so he doesn't know how Paul finances. But no matter how you look at this plan, it is very risky. So he asked in a low voice, "Paul, a stadium of 80,000 people. It's a little big. We have a court of 50,000 to 60,000 people in Blackburn, which is already very good.

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

"George, think we have 140,000 people in Blackburn. Not to mention the fans in Lancashire, let's say that the nearest small towns around Blackburn add up to more than 400,000 people. If the scope is expanded again, there will be more than 600,000. With so many people, the stadium of 80,000 people is not big.

Seeing that Paul is full of self-confidence, George can only smile secretly.

Some small towns around Blackburn add up to more than 400,000 people. But these people are not all Blackburn fans. Even if Blackburn has good grades, he is willing to support Blackburn. But that's all.

They can't all become Blackburn's hardcore fans.

About 60,000 people on the court, George believes that every game can be full. But 80,000 people, George is really not sure.

"If this plan is implemented, it must require a lot of funds. There are 300 million, right? Why does the club take out so much money? And how can we pay back the money? There is less pressure to pay 20 or 30 years, but if we are allowed to pay the debt for five or ten years, we? 300 million yuan, even Jack. Walker didn't dare to boast.

Paul shook his hand.

"George, you can rest assured about money. We have all calculated that for a stadium of 80,000 people, the ticket revenue alone will be 40 million pounds more per season. It's no problem to pay back the money.

George didn't say anything.

Because George doesn't understand business after all. And Paul made a decision, and George could not interfere. They delegated you to manage the team, and George should not interfere too much in his decision. But it doesn't mean that George has no doubt.

Ticket revenue can increase by 40 million pounds per season. After all, the current Ewood Park Stadium can only accommodate more than 30,000 people. And the tickets are a little cheap. With the rise of Blackburn's results, and once you move into the new stadium, the ticket price will also increase appropriately.

However, the ticket revenue will be increased by 40 million pounds, which is when the stadium of 80,000 people is full.

And even if the ticket revenue is increased by 40 million pounds, the expenditure will also increase.

But George himself can't figure out the mess. If the plan is simpler, build a stadium of 60,000 people, and don't need so many other supporting developments. Then it is more than one billion, and it will not exceed two hundred million.

George is fully confident that he will pay back the money within ten years.

But 300 million, George is afraid when he thinks about it.

No wonder Paul is also interested in panning for gold in Asia. It turned out that there was already a shortage of money.

Seeing that George stopped talking, Paul began to talk about his plan. Now we start to apply to the municipal axe, negotiate with local residents, and plan the stadium. It is estimated that all these things are over, and the work should start next fall. The plan is to end in three years at the latest, that is to say, we can move into the new stadium in 2006.

When Paul said, he was in a good spirit.

After George just asked some simple questions, he never questioned it again.

It was not until Paul left that George asked in a heavy tone, "John, is this stall too big?" We are a small club, can you afford it?"

Williams sighed.

But he soon replied firmly, "Since Paul has made up his mind. I'm going to pick up the omissions for him. In fact, I have also thought about it. Although the stall is a little bigger, it is not impossible. What I want to do now is to design the safest financing channel for him. Of course, this also needs your cooperation. If there is a big problem with any season's results in the future, the team will collapse. So..."

"I know."

George nodded. Looking up at Williams, I found that Williams was also much older.
