上禮拜打進聯賽盃決賽以後 英國陸續刊了兩篇跟維拉的美國老闆Randy Lerner有關的文章 簡單介紹一下Randy Lerner的背景...(from wiki again) Randy畢業於哥倫比亞大學法學院, 也曾經在劍橋留學過, 因此愛上了維拉, 富咸與槍手三隊 他雖然在美國長大, 也和爸爸一起擁有美式足球克里夫蘭布朗隊, 但是他真的的興趣還是在英國運動...也就是足球 所以當2006年維拉前任老闆Doug Ellis不堪虧損而想賣球隊時, Randy還是不顧一切的 把維拉買下來, 找來馬丁奧尼爾, 造就現在的維拉 以下是兩篇好文 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Randy Lerner investment in Aston Villa reaches ￡138.6m http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jan/27/randy-lerner-aston-villa Aston Villa's US-based owner, Randy Lerner, has put almost ￡140m into the club since his 2006 takeover, according to official documents. The club's statement of capital, filed at Companies House this month, shows that ￡ 138.6m has been invested from Lerner's UK holding company, Reform Acquisitions. 維拉隊的美國老板Randy Lerner, 自從2006年接手球隊以後, 已經花了快要1億4千萬英 鎊在他的球隊上。根據官方的資料, 這個月在Companies House ( 註: 英國負責商業行為事務 之政府機關)的紀錄, 大大方方秀出, Lerner已經經由他掌控的英國公司-Reform Acuisitions-投資了1億3千八百萬英鎊。 The financial accounts for the year to 31 May 2009 are not due to be filed until the end of next month, so it cannot yet be seen how exactly the money was paid to the club. However, the most recent published figures, for the previous year, to 31 May 2008, reveal that the investment up to then, ￡ 49.5m, was in the form of loan notes, from Lerner's holding company in the United States. 從去年五月到今年財務帳表要到下個月底才結算,所以還不能知道確切多少錢花到了球隊 最近期的數字是上年度投資的4950萬英鎊-這是以租借的形式,從Lerner自己的美國公司 借來的。 During that year the manager Martin O'Neill's signings and a more than doubling of players' wages led to Villa recording a ￡7.3m loss. The interest paid on the loan notes owed to Lerner's US company was at a fairly standard 2% above interbank rates, amounting to ￡4m, which came out of Villa's own income, including fans' ticket money. 在這一年, 教練馬丁奧尼爾簽球員所花以及幾乎倍漲的球員薪水, 使維拉隊紀錄上有730萬 英鎊的虧損 , 付給Lerner的美國公司租借的利息稍微較同業利率高了2%, 達到4百萬英鎊 這些利息的錢是來自球隊自己的收入, 包括門票所得。 Lerner's quiet revolution at Villa Park, where his ￡62.6m takeover was financed with his own and his family trust's money and the ￡138.6m has since strengthened the team, makes a stark contrast to the regime at Manchester United. There the Glazer family loaded their own borrowings to take the club over on to United itself, and the club were recently revealed to have debts of ￡716m, not one penny of it paid in as investment for the club. Lerner對於維拉公園球場的革命-這裡是說他六千六百萬英鎊的接手費金額, 完全來自他以 及家族的信託基金, 以及他為了加強球隊所花的一億多英鎊,和曼聯的體制剛好可成為鮮明 的對比: Glazer家族當時是用籌來的錢接手曼聯, 而現在球隊透露已有超過七億英鎊的 負債, 而所花的錢。連一分投資在球隊上面的都沒有。 Lerner's funding of Villa, principally to provide O'Neill with money to spend on transfers and wages, has beenmade in nine separate injections since July 2007, according to Companies House documents. The amounts paid to the club range from ￡8m, in November 2007, to ￡30m, in August 2008. The money is routed from Reform Acquisitions, which, in the most recent accounts, was shown to have borrowed the investment up to that date from Lerner's US company, also called Reform Acquisitions.this month when he was replaced after the Browns' poor season. Lerner給維拉的經費, 主要是給馬丁奧尼爾錢去花在轉隊費與薪水, 根據公司的檔案,已經 從2007年七月陸續匯了九次: 從2007年11月的八百萬英鎊, 到2008年八月的三千萬英鎊都 有。這些錢的來源,是Lerner的英國公司向他的美國公司借貸來的錢。 The investment and stewardship from Lerner have brought a transformation in Villa's fortunes and qualification for the Carling Cup final, their first Wembley final in a decade. However from 2012-13, the new "financial fair play initiative" from Uefa will require all clubs involved in European competition not to be making consistent losses, regardless of whether they are supported financially by an owner. Lerner的投資與掌權, 已經改變了維拉的命運, 和讓維拉取得了聯賽盃決賽資格-這是他 們十幾年來的第一次。不過2012球季以後。歐洲足總一個叫做"財務公平運作協議"的鬼 東西, 要求參加歐洲賽的所有球隊不得有連續的虧損, 即使借他們錢的是老闆自己。 (有種叫曼聯皇馬不要打歐冠啊! 只會迫害(╭∩╮\_/╭∩╮)) --
