507 Crisis
Blackburn's new stadium has become the subject of media coverage after the game.
Blackburn's new stadium is so luxurious. In England, it can be compared with Wembley Stadium, Cardiff Millennium Stadium and Old Trafford Stadium.
Jack. Walker Stadium has finally been built.
If it is placed among the giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern and Milan, none of them will have such a big reaction. After all, the rich should have a matching court.
Like today's Liverpool, Anfield is very famous.
But after all, the history is too long. The stadium can't keep up with the situation. No matter from which aspect, it is outdated. Fortunately, Liverpool's performance has not been good in recent years, so it is not very conspicuous. If Liverpool's performance in recent years is the same as when it swept the European football world in the late 1970s and early 1980s, then the results do not match the stadium.
Liverpool's senior management has also begun to plan to build a new stadium.
But Blackburn?
Although Blackburn has achieved excellent results in the past ten years. It can be compared with those rich families in Europe. But after all, it's only ten years. And the city of Blackburn is really not famous.
It is estimated that without the glory of Blackburn Club 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 doesn't have the energy to take care of these things.
Now George is in Paul's office.
Paul. Jack, Williams and George sat together, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Paul, just tell the truth. What is the repayment amount that the club is about to expire?
George asked in a hurry.
This is what George is most concerned about now.
Although in the past two years, Blackburn has become more and more difficult in the transfer market. And because it happened to be the replacement of the new and the old, Blackburn's performance was not very good. There is no league champion and no Champions League champion.
But George has done the same for Blackburn's new and old replacement.
What George wants most at this time is stability. It's Blackburn's stability.
Blackburn now has everything. With its own luxury stadium and a stable lineup. If you say it, there is still a glorious history. The achievements of these ten years have also become Blackburn's glorious history.
Now, as long as the club is not turbulent, George is sure to give Blackburn a brilliant opportunity again in the next few years.
As long as this is the case, who says that Blackburn can't squeeze into the ranks of European giants in another ten years?
But now there is a breakdown of funds, and I can't help but let George 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 to lead the team to play.
Paul waved his hand indifferentally.
Paul is not angry that George interfered with the club's financial problems. Instead, he doesn't want George to be distracted by this kind of thing.
"Paul, don't hide it. Just talk about it. Let's discuss a solution together.
Paul took a look at Williams. Williams nodded slowly.
Paul pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
Williams opened his mouth for Paul. George, we have a short-term loan to build the stadium. It's a five-year period, and this is the first year. The club doesn't have much money now, but the due amount is 40 million pounds.
"Forty million pounds?"
George frowned.
This is definitely not a small amount, but it is not a large amount. 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, which seems to be your own money, but it is actually money that cannot be used.
And George thinks more.
This is a short-term loan. That is to say, Blackburn has to keep paying back the money for five consecutive years.
George can imagine.
Paul and Williams must want to use the development property around the stadium to repay this short-term loan. There is also the original Ewood Park, which is the most prosperous area in Blackburn. It is the most expensive place in Blackburn.
Paul and Williams are preparing to build a building on the original site of Ewood Park. A few years later, this is also an income.
Unfortunately, the industrial sales around the stadium are extremely unsatisfactory. I couldn't get any money back at all. The planned building on the side of Ewood Park has not yet been built.
That's why the current Blackburn funds are so difficult.
This year's return, what should I do next year? It will be returned next year, and there will be the year after next.
"Paul..."
Paul shook his head when he saw that George was going to speak.
"George, don't worry. It's not a big problem. We can solve it. Paul comforted George.
But George is not a child. 40 million pounds, not 4,000 pounds. If it is not solved, it can be solved.
"Paul, you don't have to coax me. If there's nothing we can do, let's sell the players.
George gritted his teeth and finally said it.
George hates selling players for money. But George finally said it. Forty million pounds, it's too difficult for the club to take it out now. What is Blackburn's most valuable money now?
In addition to the court, he is the star player in the team.
Over the years, after the new and old replacements, there are definitely many good players on Blackburn's side. Needless to say, the midfielders Alonso, Essien, Kaka, Ribery, Yang Feng, and the front line Klose and Drogba. Any one of these people throws into the transfer market, the starting price is about 30 million pounds.
In addition to them, Maicon, Compani and Byrnes, who have grown rapidly in the back line, are now soaring in value.
Maicon is already the main right-back of the Brazilian national team, with strong strength. Even known as the world's first right-back, his value is rising.
And Compani and Byrnes are all young now. Compani is 21 years old and Bynes is only 23 years old, but he is already worth more than 10 million players.
What is Blackburn's fastest way to raise money now?
That is to put the players in the transfer market. Among Blackburn's current players, except for Van der Sar, Klose, Drogba and Lucio, all the other players are world-class stars of the year.
"No, absolutely not."
Williams hasn't spoken yet, and Paul has stood up. Shake your head very firmly.
"George, I'm counting on you about the team. You don't have to worry about the money. I will definitely figure it out. I've been dealing with my industry in the United States recently, and I can still take out 40 million pounds myself.
Seeing Paul's firm expression, George couldn't say anything.
After saying a few digressions, George left Paul's office.
Looking at George's back, Williams came to Paul's side.
"Paul, George's method is the best. As long as we sell a player, the club will have no problem. Kaka, Ribery and Yang Feng, their current market price is more than 40 million pounds. Even if it reaches 50 million pounds, it is not impossible. And as long as they enter the market, those rich families will definitely buy them. Real Madrid and Barcelona, they will all be interested in them.
"This is the best and fastest way. Paul, there is no other way. As long as we have a better economy, we can support George.
Williams persuaded Paul.
Although Blackburn has no honor in the past two years, there are still many good players under George's **. Although selling the main core will have some impact on the team's performance, it is possible to get through this difficult time.
Paul stood by the window and watched George leave. When George's back could not be seen, he turned around.
"John, it's all my fault that this situation happened. If the stalls are not too large, we don't have to borrow this kind of short-term loan. If it were ten, fifteen or twenty years of loans, we wouldn't be so difficult now.
"It's my fault. Blackburn's current lineup was built by George. I can't let George bear the consequences of my fault and Blackburn bear it.
When Paul said this, he was not as sharp as before.
If George were here, he would be confused. Because since he first met Paul, Paul has been ambitious. And every time I am full of self-confidence and optimistic when encountering any problems. But now Paul is left with regret.
"Paul, but... Forty million pounds, the repayment is due, and there is not much time now. The club can't afford this money at all.
Williams frowned deeply.
If there is a first-line possibility, Williams will 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 club players.
"John, don't worry. Didn't I say that? I'm dealing with my industry in the United States now, and I can still take out 40 million pounds.
Williams looked at Paul carefully.
Although Williams didn't follow Paul before. It was because Paul became the boss of Blackburn that he followed Paul. Therefore, Williams is not very clear about Paul's specific family, but Williams can roughly guess.
Although Paul started a business in the United States in his early years.
But Paul is definitely not the kind of person who has hundreds of millions of pounds in the United States. If you really have so much money, Paul's surname is Ge, and he has already begun to transform the club. It will not be forced to the point of 40 million pounds.
Forty million pounds, even if it is not all Paul's possessions in the United States, it must be most of it.
Williams knew that Paul was gambling.
Williams looked at Paul with complicated eyes. Paul is better than Jack. Walker is bold and ambitious. It's a pity... "John, you must work hard next year. As long as the industries around our stadium can be sold out, our funds will not be difficult.
Williams nodded heavily.
