10月8日,体育新闻传来最新消息,《The Athletic》披露,一个独立的审查小组在英超对曼城涉嫌财务违规的诉讼中,确认了该俱乐部存在广泛的财务错误。曼城坚决否认指控,并已向法院提起上诉,而英超方面尚未公布正式的处罚决定。
经过详尽审查,数据显示,在2009年至2018年间的九个赛季中,曼城通过巧妙的资金伪装手段,将阿布扎比联合集团(ADUG)的资本伪装为商业赞助款。在此过程中,该俱乐部累计虚报收入并减少支出,总额高达9.214亿英镑。具体来看,伪装的赞助资金总额为8.307亿英镑,这一比例占到了俱乐部同期账面总收入的29%,以及商业收入的73%。
在采用该策略的过程中,曼城与阿布扎比地区的赞助商达成了赞助协议,这些协议的金额远超了市场合理水平。赞助商只支付了基本费用,而剩余的巨额资金实际上由ADUG承担。尽管如此,曼城将整个合同的金额纳入了商业收入,以此来减少账面的亏损,规避了财政公平规则的限制,从而能够继续大规模投资于引援和打造冠军级别的球队阵容。阿提哈德航空公司作为最知名的赞助商之一,在上周表示正在考虑对英超提起法律诉讼,以否认其参与了任何不规范的商业交易。
Moreover, the so-called "Fordham Arrangement" was ruled an fictitious transaction, acting as a conduit for ADUG's financial flow. The club utilized this entity to manage player image rights deals, artificially boosting transaction values and reallocating salary expenses. Over a period of nine years, Manchester City has improved its financial standing by a total of £73.9 million (consisting of £24.5 million in revenue and £49.4 million in cost savings). This initiative is part of the "Longbow Project," which was initiated in 2012, with the primary aim of complying with UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
回顾报道,曼城曾高调宣布其收入呈现出迅猛上升态势,即便在2020/21赛季这样充满挑战的疫情时期,俱乐部仍实现了盈利,一度位居全球足球俱乐部收入排行榜第二位。然而,委员会的最新裁决揭露,俱乐部看似辉煌的商业收入增长实际上源于所有者背后不为人知的资金注入。
费兰・索里亚诺,曼城首席执行官,在内部视频中公开表达了对裁决的不认同,将其称为“英超的阴谋论”。俱乐部坚称,他们掌握了确凿无疑的证据,并已正式启动了上诉程序。
2023年,英格兰超级联赛对曼城进行了法律诉讼,不仅涉及2009至2018年期间的财务欺诈指控,还因2018至2022赛季期间俱乐部对联赛调查的不合作行为而受到指责。曼城曾在2020年通过国际体育仲裁院(CAS)撤销了欧洲足联对其欧冠禁赛的处罚,但此次独立委员会的裁决标志着一项全新的独立调查结果,而具体的处罚措施将在后续阶段得到明确。
Throughout the period from 2009 to 2018, the annual financial allocations designated for ADUG's camouflaged sponsorship experienced a consistent growth trajectory.
In the 2009-2010 season, the financial outlay reached an impressive 22.5 million pounds.
2010-11赛季,总转会支出高达2850万英镑。
The 2011-12 season saw a financial outlay of £70.8 million.
In the 2012-2013 season, the financial turnover reached 105.8 million pounds.
The 2013-14 season witnessed a financial outlay of approximately 115 million pounds.
In the 2014-2015 season, the total revenue reached 107.2 million pounds.
2015至2016赛季:总交易额高达202亿英镑。
In the 2016-17 season, the financial turnover reached a remarkable 129.6 million pounds.
In the 2017-2018 season, the total expenditure reached 134.7 million pounds.
