Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have completed the £
350m refinancing deal to secure their Anfield future, BBC Sport understands.
美国人完成£350m的融资计画以巩固他们在安菲尔德的位置
The financial package is expected to help the duo repay money borrowed for
their £218.9m takeover in March 2007.
要用这笔钱偿还买下俱乐部的时候欠下的£218.9m
It also means that the club can finally launch their long-awaited plan for a
new stadium at Stanley Park.
也表示延宕已久的新球场终於可以继续开工
BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said £60m of the package will provide the
start-up money for the new ground.
据信£60m会拿来当开工的费用
He said: "Liverpool are very keen for the announcement of this package to be
presented as a good news story from Anfield after weeks of strife."
利物浦现在急需这笔钱来冲淡之前内部不和的声音
The deal, which is expected to be announced on Friday, underlines the pair's
determination to remain at Anfield despite interest from Dubai International
Capital (DIC), the investment arm of the Dubai government.
这个消息将在礼拜五公布,虽然DIC在後面虎视眈眈,但这可以暂时让美国人坐稳一点
Hicks will also feel he will be in a stronger position should he decide to
sell in the future, dealing a blow to DIC's hopes of mounting a swift bid to
take control of the club.
Sucks Hicks应该也觉得这样他跟DIC谈价钱时会多了不少底气
But Bose said: "I'm told by my sources in Dubai that DIC is still very keen
and has been selling assets to make sure it has the necessary money.
据说DIC还是很积极,同时也在卖一些资产来筹措接手的资金
"It was not keen on this re-financing because it feels it puts up the price
of Liverpool. But DIC is still in the wings,and I wouldn't be surprised if
something happens on that front, maybe not just now but in the next year or
so."
也许不是现在,但是发生什麽都不让人惊讶
Some Liverpool fans want DIC to bid after Hicks and Gillett angered them by
admitting they had sounded out Jurgen Klinsmann as a possible replacement for
manager Rafael Benitez, with whom they had a high-profile row.
许多红军迷十分期待DIC的接手,自从美国人很开心的宣传自己龌齰的行为
A survey carried out by the Liverpool Supporters' network showed that 76% of
2,000 fans questioned said they would "seriously consider reducing their
financial commitment to the club" if the current owners stayed in charge.
对2000名红军迷所做的调查中,76%表示会由於美国人而减少对俱乐部财政上的支持
When asked to choose between the owners and the manager as to who had the
best interest of the club at heart, 99% backed Benitez.
再被问到老板跟主教练二选一的问题时,99%人选择Rafa
"The results of this survey are indicative of the strength of feeling among
Liverpool fans that the club is very much in the wrong hands at present,"
said LSN spokesman Neil Atkinson.
"Tom Hicks and George Gillett are not trusted."
调查很明显的指出大部分的人觉得俱乐部老板们的行为无疑是很愚蠢的,他们不该被信任
