Chapter 511 Crisis
Blackburn's new stadium became the subject of media coverage after the game.

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

Jack Walker Stadium was finally built.

If it is placed among giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, and Milan, none of them will have such a big reaction.After all, giants should have a matching stadium.

Like Liverpool now, although Anfield is very famous.

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the history is too long.The stadium couldn't keep up with the situation.No matter how you look at it, it is already outdated.Fortunately, Liverpool's performance has not been good in recent years, so it is not very conspicuous.If Liverpool's results in recent years are the same as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

Liverpool executives have also begun planning for a new stadium.

But Blackburn?

Although it is said that Blackburn has achieved very good results in the past ten years.It can be compared with those giants in Europe.But after all, only ten years.And the city of Blackburn is too unknown.

It is estimated that if there is no glory of the Blackburn club in the past few years, many foreign fans still don't know where Blackburn is?

Therefore, for a country bumpkin team like Blackburn to have such a brilliant new stadium, many people still speak sourly.

But George didn't have the energy to take care of these things.

George is now in Paul's office.

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

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

George asked anxiously.

That was George's main concern now.

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

But George has done almost the same for Blackburn's old and new replacements.

What George hopes most at this time is stability.It is the stability of Blackburn.

Blackburn can now be said to have it all.With a luxurious stadium of its own, with a stable lineup.If anything, it has a glorious history.The achievements of the past ten years have also become the glorious history of Blackburn.

Now as long as there is no turmoil in the club, George is sure to give Blackburn another brilliant opportunity in the next few years.

As long as this is the case, after another ten years, who says Blackburn can't squeeze into the ranks of European giants?

But now there is a situation where the funds are broken, and George can't help but not pay attention to it.

Paul smiled when he saw George's solemn expression.

"George, don't listen to the rumors outside. The club's finances are fine, so you can lead the team to play with confidence."

Paul waved his hand indifferently.

Paul is not angry that George interfered with the club's financial problems.Instead, he didn't want George to be distracted by such things.

"Paul, there's no need to hide it. Just talk about it and discuss a solution together."

Paul glanced at Williams.Williams nodded slowly.

Paul pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

Williams spoke for Paul. "George, we have a short-term loan to build the stadium. It's five years, it's the first year. The club doesn't have much money at the moment, but the one that's coming due is £4000m."

"Fifty million pounds?"

George frowned.

It's definitely not a small sum, but it's not a huge sum either. 4000 million pounds, Blackburn can definitely squeeze 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 its own money, but it is actually money that cannot be used.

And George thinks more.

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

George could imagine.

Paul and Williams definitely want to use the development properties around the stadium to repay the short-term loan.There is also the original Ewood Park, which is the most prosperous area in Blackburn.Blackburn is considered the most expensive place in the land.

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

It's a pity that the sales of properties around the stadium are far from satisfactory.There was no way to get any money back.The planned building on the Ewood Park side has not yet begun to be built.

That's why the current Blackburn funding is so difficult.

This year's repayment, what about next year?Pay it back next year, and the year after that.

"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 was no child. Forty million pounds, not four thousand pounds.Wherever it is said to be resolved, it can be resolved.

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

George gritted his teeth and finally said it.

George hates selling players for money.But George finally spoke up. 4000 million pounds, it is too difficult for the club to come up with it now.What is the best value in Blackburn right now?
In addition to the stadium, it is the star players in the team.

After these years of succession by old and new, there are definitely a lot of good players on Blackburn's side.Needless to say Alonso, Essien, Kaka, Franck Ribery, Yang Feng in the midfield, Klose and Drogba as strikers, any one of these people thrown into the transfer market will start at £3000 million about.

Apart from them, Maicon, Kompany, and Baines, who have grown rapidly in the back line, are now all worth a lot.

Maicon is already the main right back of the Brazilian national team and is very strong.Even known as the world's number one right back, his worth is also rising.

Kompany and Baines are both young now.Kompany is 21 years old and Baines is only 23 years old, but they are already worth over ten million players.

What is the fastest way for Blackburn to raise money right now?
That is to put players on the transfer market.Among Blackburn's current players, except for Van der Sar, Klose, Drogba, and Lucio who are a little older, the other players are all world-class stars in their playing years.

"No, absolutely not."

Before Williams could speak, Paul had already stood up.Shaking his head very firmly.

"George, please leave the team to you. You don't have to worry about the money. I will definitely find a way. I am dealing with my property in the United States recently, and I can still get 4000 million pounds myself. "

Seeing Paul's firm expression, 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 method is the best. As long as we sell a player, the club will not have any problems. Kaka, Ribery, Yang Feng, their current market prices are above 4000 million pounds. Even if they reach £5000 million is not impossible. And as long as they enter the market, those big clubs will definitely buy them. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​they will all be interested in them."

"This is the best and fastest way. Paul, there is no other way. As long as our economy is better, we can support George."

Williams persuaded Paul.

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

Paul stood by the window, watching George leave.He turned around when he could no longer see George's back.

"John, it's all my fault for this situation. If it wasn't for the overspread, we wouldn't have to take out short-term loans like this. If it was all 15-year, 20-year, [-]-year loans, we wouldn't be doing it now. So difficult."

"It's my fault. Blackburn's current lineup was built by George single-handedly. I can't let George and Blackburn bear the consequences of my mistakes."

When Paul said this, he lost his former vigor.

If George is here, he must be wondering.Because from the first time he met Paul, Paul was ambitious.And every time he is full of confidence, he is optimistic when encountering any problems.But now Paul has regrets left.

"Paul, but... 4000 million pounds, the repayment date, there is not much time now. The club simply can't afford this money."

Williams frowned deeply.

If there is a chance, Williams will not suggest 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 property in the United States now, and I can still get 4000 million pounds."

Williams took a good look at Paul.

Although Williams did not 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 net worth, but Williams can roughly guess.

Although Paul started his 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 he really had so much wealth, Paul's personality would have already begun to transform the club.Nor will it be forced to where it is by £4000 million.

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

Williams knew Paul was betting his life.

Williams looked at Paul with complicated eyes.Paul is bolder and more ambitious than Jack Walker.pity……

"John, we must work hard next year. As long as the property around our stadium can be sold, our funds will not be difficult."

Williams nodded emphatically.
