506 new stadium

"Morning, George."

"George, it's a nice day today."

"George..."

When George came to the court, everyone greeted him. George has been in Blackburn for so many years, and Blackburn has been his home. George can be said to know almost everyone in Blackburn Club.

George also nodded with a smile.

It was not until Williams' office that George's face sank. All the smiles just now have disappeared.

"George, you're here. Come on in."

Now Williams' hair has completely turned white. Williams' hair is not black at all, and his beard is already white. It looks like an old man in his 70s and 80s. With deep eyes and tightly frowned eyebrows, Williams looks really much older.

But the moment he saw George, Williams still smiled.

For George himself and Jack. Walker introduced the coach, Williams is quite accomplished. This is the greatest coach in Blackburn's history.

"George, we are about to enter the new stadium. What's your expression like this? You should be happy and smile like this. Ha ha."

George can see the bitterness in Williams' smile.

It has been two and a half years since the last FA Cup. It is December 21, 2007.

In two and a half years, the pattern of the Premier League has changed a lot.

The strong Arsenal has no transfer funds because of the new stadium. Arsenal has also sold important players of the team in a row over the years. Vieira and Henry have left Arsenal. Wenger, a stingy man, is also becoming more and more stingy. And Arsenal's results are also getting worse and worse.

And Benitez's Liverpool did well in the Cup. Unfortunately, in the league, every time I lose a lot.

Of course, two and a half years ago, the strongest and most arrogant Chelsea was still very strong. However, Mourinho, who is regarded as a god by Chelsea fans, has a fierce conflict with Abu and is far away from the Premier League.

Now the Premier League has become Ferguson's world again.

Two and a half years ago, Mourinho was the most popular among the Premier League teams. After Mourinho won the Champions League, Abu gave Mourinho a new five-year contract. And it is the highest salary of a world coach of 6 million pounds.

At that time, Abu and Mourinho were blended. Everyone is waiting for Mourinho to become Chelsea's Ferguson, Wenger and George.

Needless to say, Wenger and George are the absolute core figures in their respective clubs. Benitez has just joined Liverpool, and his performance is not too bad.

Only Ferguson is handsome.

I didn't expect that two and a half years later, the most beautiful Mourinho had left the Premier League. Wenger and George were all preoccupied with the transfer fee. Benitez still had no honor in Liverpool, only the old and strong Ferguson came back.

After six years of lying down at Manchester United, Ferguson finally trained his third generation of disciples. Last season, Manchester United regained the Premier League title, and this season's posture is also very good. Xiao Luo, who only knew how to carry the ball two and a half years ago, has become a hot star in Europe.

Two and a half years, the time is not long, not short.

Blackburn's new stadium has been built for four years since it was built in October 2003. There were a lot of stumblings, and a lot of things happened. However, Blackburn's new stadium has finally been completed.

Blackburn Club has decided that after the 19th round of the Premier League, the 20th rounds of the Premier League on December 29 will be held on the new stadium.

This is a big deal for Blackburn.

From now on, Blackburn will have a luxury court that can be counted in Europe. Blackburn Club and Blackburn fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

But there was no joy in George's face.

"John, don't hide it from me."

George couldn't find a smile on his face. On the contrary, the expression is very solemn.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that a loan has arrived, but now there is no money in the club account, right?"

George stared at Williams.

Williams' eyebrows raised slightly, but soon returned to normal. George, how do you know this?"

The cooperation between George and Williams in Blackburn is perfect.

Williams manages the club's management and George manages the team. Williams will never dictate to the team, and the transfer market will not intervene. The Blackburn team, from the first team to the youth training camp of all ages, Williams never cares.

Blackburn's transfer department and scouting system are all under George's control.

Similarly, George will never interfere in the operation of the club. George doesn't care how the club operates and develops.

The two are responsible for each other.

The work will not intersect until the two discuss the transfer fee for a season.

"John, just tell me if it's true?"

Williams looked at George and finally nodded slowly. Where did you know about it? In the end, Williams asked George without giving up.

George sat in the sofa next to him.

"John, there is no secret about this matter. Everyone outside knows it, and I also heard it from well-known reporters.

George shook his head.

Although George has a normal relationship with many journalists in British football these years. But after all, there are still many familiar reporters in British football for more than ten years.

"John, tell me what's going on? How much is the difference? Is there anything the club can do?

Williams nodded to calm George down.

"George, you should know the surrounding industry developed with the stadium."

George nodded.

Of course George knows this. At that time, Blackburn didn't just build a stadium. On the land of Blackburn Club, four football fields could be built. Except for a football field, everything on the periphery is for supporting development.

This plan is huge.

"Now that's the problem. We originally hoped to sell and rent the property around the developed stadium and recover the funds. But now the sales situation is not ideal, even less than one-fifth of what we expected. So the financial problem is getting more and more serious.

George stood up when he heard this.

"less than one-fifth?"

This is a big deal. Although George doesn't know much about business, he also knows a little. That is, the construction of the whole stadium is completely a big plan, one link at a time. No one is allowed to have problems with one link.

Now the most important part, such a big problem has emerged.

It's only one-fifth, which is simply...

"What can the club do now?"

This is what George wants to know most.

Just as Williams was about to speak, a man's laughter began to come in from the outside.

"George, you're here too."

George knew it was Paul when he heard this sound. Walker's.

"Paul."

"George, do you want to discuss how to move into the new stadium? George, we finally have a court that matches our results. From now on, you will be the owner of that stadium. Paul was very happy.

Seeing Paul so happy, George didn't know what to say.

But George can't but ask.

"Paul, let's not talk about this. I heard that the club's finances now..."

Paul waved his hand.

"George, I'm so happy that I won't say these words. And don't worry about those things. That's my business. You can play the game at ease. Let's consider how to celebrate when we enter the new stadium.

George wanted to say more, but Paul shook his head.

Seeing that Paul didn't want to say it, George could only pinch the topic.

............On December 29, 2007, Blackburn played against Derby County at home.

This is the first time that Blackburn's new stadium has been put into use.

The new stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is magnificent and luxurious. Blackburn has invested nearly 300 million pounds in this stadium alone.

"This is the first time that Blackburn's new stadium has been held." Mortson explained the game. The stadium was finally named Jack after being voted by Blackburn fans. Walker Stadium. This is in memory of former Blackburn Chairman Jack. Walker's outstanding contribution.

"Jack. The stands of Walker Stadium are divided into three floors, with 34,303 seats on the lower floor, 12,532 seats on the middle floor, and 33,165 seats on the upper floor. The capacity of the whole stadium has reached 80,000. The stadium has two super-large screens. Not only that, Jack. Walker Stadium has a roof that can be floated and closed. This is rare in European football.

"This is a luxury football stadium that can be counted in world football."

It's really luxurious.

Although George also came before the construction of this stadium. But when he led the team to this stadium for the first time today, George still felt a little dazzling.

This is our court, this is my court.

From now on, it will be the court where you direct the game.

Among the current Premier League teams, Blackburn's stadium is definitely the most luxurious. Only Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium can compare with this stadium. Others are like Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium, and this stadium has no comparable surname at all.

Although Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium is good, it can only accommodate 60,000 people.

However, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium is located in London. If an 80,000-person stadium is built, Arsenal may not be able to support it at all. Because it's too expensive.

George was in a good mood when he conducted the game on this court for the first time.

This will be your own territory in the future. For a moment, George even forgot about money.

The Blackburn team came much earlier than Derby County. Because Blackburn not only has a game, but also a celebration ceremony on Blackburn's side before the game. Anyway, Blackburn built his own luxury court.

This is something worth celebrating.

For this celebration ceremony, the club invited a lot of stars to help. The stadium of 80,000 people is completely full today. Anyway, it's all Jack. The first game at Walker Stadium. Everyone wants to have a look.

Blackburn players are also in a good mood. In the future, this will be my home court. The new stadium also shows the team's ambition.

Morale was boosted, and Blackburn defeated Derby County 2-0 at home.
